Here's the idea Johnny. Get the documents your broker gave you when you opened your account. It could be electronic formats. Look for the one that says "Terms and Conditions" or anyone close to "Trading charges". Make sure it doesn't say something about the broker widening the spread at will.

Here's the logic, there's something called "spread widening". It's a tool used by some brokers to sustain and keep scalpers under check during very volatile trading periods such as when big news such as the FOMC is released. If this feature is utilized...
This is only thing I could find on spread terms - do you think there's more or is this it?:

Hi motion,

dow is racing back up from support level, but im staying out of the dow trade now. its definitely short term.
I suggest we all go back to our charts, determine current levels, and see what can happen.
Well it depends. It might be a re-action. Two things are sure:

1. The original move will be outlined at 5pm EST.
2. The USD rally might be coming to an end( though 34xx might replay. The EURUSD might be in for a long term rally.

Still watching bloomberg though. Nothing is sure for now.

I may answer: because I want to trade safe, no matter what position size, no matter what account size

Yes there is going to be upside to the Euro but with a move like that after FOMC it just confirms to me that there's gonna be weakness long term.

Yeah brother. They just got you cornered. Read the bottom of the document. It says "This table is for illustration purposes only. During 08:00 to 18:00 GMT spreads might be tighter. Other hours of the day, spreads could be WIDENED."

Going back to the charts, I discovered the you were stopped out after 18:00GMT. So they won. Just don't mind them and move on. There'll always be a better day, a better trade.
