{quote} Here, it is raining and the cat food is wet Anyway, I read somewhere that the market has been expecting and increase in NZD rate for sometime, so the rate news may not be the driver, but rather the speech / comment afterwards. Would that cause some whipsaw? I am in it to win it (prolly long EURNZD / long NZYJPY), but this is my first NZD news event, so I am unsure of what to expect...any insight please? Cheers H
HJ...Sorry for your cat!!!From a trend perspective NZ has been mostly strong for the the last several weeks as has the Eur and CHF...Cad, GBP, and Aud have been weak...NZD/Cad is still trending strong and at historical highs with no nearby resistence..

I find the NZD can tend to whipsaw especially on smaller timeframes so fasten your seatbelt.

{quote} Dukascopy for sure, i traded nfp in jpy with the spread never going above 2 it was mostly around 0.6 or less i got in at 0.2 from their customer service and free services it almost feels like they're trying to make me win or something lol (makes sense) my worst was varengold... the problem is they are very opaque and hold all cards to themselves even between what they offer to clients ever since i will never go to any metatrader based broker i just don't trust opaque brokers due to possible conflict of interest. The moment i switched i noticed...

Dukascopy also offers Metatrader.
Your logic does not quite opening up to me.

To get ahead of your answer, Metatrader or most other trading platforms are only bridges.

The important thing is that the broker does not tricking with gaps.

Where there is a gap, there is no price for the order execution (SL or TP).
This can be secured with an equity expert, if the price is available again, ... in order to prevent greater losses when the SL was not executable.

Regards

dukascopy does not offer mt4, it's in fact a third party provider, they only officially support jforex or fix api for more professional applications

Is there any slippage on dukascopy? Spreads are great, but worrying about slippage. Oanda has 12 pip slippage several times on aud news.

slippage yes, but never that bad less than 1 mostly; the worse ive had so far is during nfp about 10 once (i use slippage control), however many times ive also had positive slippage ( im suspicious if a broker has slippage and never positive ones because that's the nature of our markets)

Taking all things into consideration, everything I have seen and heard about Oanda and they are no better than FXCM No Dealing Desk. lol

Like all, Dukascopy wants to only your best, your money!

Who still believes in honest broker who has already lost.

When you know this, you can also protect and adapt.

why two pairs? are you splitting your trade or doubling your risk?

How would I be doubling my risk if I am long NZD and short NZD?
