What's up with EURUSD spread??

It's 2.7 pips for the past hour now
Huge night last night for European figures and lots of news out of the States including the ISM.
Big movements in the markets which obviously can affect some spreads but thankfully they behaved themselves pretty well.

Cheers

Not sure if this question has been answered already in this thread.

I am about to buy a smart phone and wanted to know if go markets has a phone app down loadable to the phone.

Thanks

Hi,
As mentioned above we have an Android App becoming available within about a week and at present we have an I-phone App thats available at the Apple App store free of charge.
Blackberry Apps for the new operating system should also be available in about 2 months.

Hope this helps

Seems to be back its normal ~ 1.3 now, strange.

Any particular reason for this Chris?
I'd like to hear the answer as well please.

It seems to me that spreads on Go in 2011 have been lengthier compared to even just 3 months ago. Eur/usd spread over the course of 2010 was about 1.1 to 1.3 on average, whereas its averaging 1.5 to 1.7 these days.

Now there may be legitimate reasons why this is so (Go is expanding too quickly), but you might want to explain them having regard to E/U spreads offered by other brokers currently averaging at Go's previous 1.1 to 1.3 standard.

If I'm thinking "Go's spreads aren't what it used to be compared to 2010/2009" I'm willing to bet there are others thinking the same thing too.
Thank you Crucial Point, Bleek, Trizzle, Darkstar

Not so sure about 1.5-1.7, i think this week and last week have not be such good weeks for low spreads, as there has been some volatile periods. The screen shot shots shows EURUSDm (mini) M5 chart Go Markets Live, the indicator is min, max, average spread, 10 points = 1 pip. the average to me looks to be about ~ 1.3 +/- 0.1 pips. The gaps are where i was not online. The previous weeks it has been lower with less spikes, note that some of these portions on the chart are asian sessions so the spread is higher. Also this chart shows what happened yesterday, where price suddenly increased by about 1.5 pips, at 16:10 and then suddenly jumped back down again about 18:50. Usually when there is volatility it will slowly increase then slowly reduce again over time.

Wow! Thanks! I've just spent all day looking for an android forex alert app that uses push, didn't find anything, and then read your post - just what I was looking for.

The previous alert app I was using drained the battery too much for my liking - don't think it was push.

I also use a free SMS alert service as a backup - www.mobile4x.com

Use a tool such as mt4spreads.com or mt4i.com to get a good idea of what the true average spreads are at a brokerage.

It is showing 1.3 for the Eur/USd

No worries guys. Skoda, I'm interested in the mobile4x but can't figure out why it's free? no ads? The recommendation on the home page from someone in Nigeria isn't a great marketing ploy IMO. You have found it OK?

Sutters; I found the platform slow last night too.
Cheers all.

I haven't had any problems. It works great, but I think you are limited to 20 alerts a day. I've used it for about 3 months now and there has been no sms advertising or anything like that, if that's what you were getting at?

Hi,

I thought I would look into this as our average spread for Eur/Usd should be about 1 - 1.1 pips We have mentioned it to our liquidity providers and since then it seems to have improved, currently its ranging between 1.2 and 1.4 and its a quiet Friday Australian lunchtime. One odd thing that we have found is that liquidity seems to be pouring more into GBP/USD with the spread ranging from about 1.5 - 1.8 during Asian session which is much lower than 2010's average spread of 2.3

Hope this helps

Good afternoon Chris,
Ive notice that go markets offer 500% margin for us aussies, if thats the case you would only need to start with say $1000.00 with in about 6 months only aiming for about 10 or so pips a night you would have taken home around $500,000.00 gross.
Have you had any one do some thing like this in the past year or so, thats is start with a small sum and turn it in to a very large sum!
Thanks for your time.

Hi,

Thanks for your post.
Yes you are correct we do offer 500:1 margin , you would however need to have the FX markets completely on your side to turn $1000 into $500,000 in 6 months but anything is possible.
Our most successful clients take it slowly but surely, they tend to not max out the available leverage on each trade otherwise those trades can end rather prematurely.

I hope you stay succesfull in your trading and if your in Melbourne and want to discuss anything regarding GO Markets then feel free to drop by

Cheers

Chris
