I have now purchased massive amounts of USD/CAD for no reason. I see that I will will never exit from this circle. I'm waiting for FOMC to save my life. BTW USD/CAD allows me the most leverage.
Hopefully you held it Im in long UJ and short GU

Well don't I just feel stupid now.

Well I did my research and I have traded it before and I have never seen such a calm reaction.

That is why I can't shake the nagging feeling that I should try to trade all the news spikes (aka crack addict / compulsive gambler ) simply because I am never sure of what the market is going to do...

I have decided to simply restrict my trades to USD pairs for liquidity purposes, if i should find one more massive slippage from dukascopy, I'm moving to LMAX... also considering if a vps will be helpful at all

Sure is! how is everyone doing so far? also happy about this because me and U/CAD have been fighting for about a month now and started to hate the currency pair. But dealing with not alot of margin is hard going with other pairs since U/CAD does offer some good leverage.

You do realise that UCAD is at the last weekly support / resistance since 2008?

Eish, eina, this could really explode (and somehow Tony called it yet again, the maestro, respect)

I am leaning towards the same, and as per one of my previous posts, I am also considering dropping GBP due to whippersnappers...

Hope my constitution can handle it...UCAD seems to be waiting for that exact moment, will probably whippersnapper and then shoot up, just to mix things up a bit...

That won't help to the slippage problem. You will get lower latency from your vps to the broker, but the line from broker to the liquidity providers is the bottle neck. Pending orders are executed even if you have placed your stop and closed your terminal. This means that your orders are at the broker but it is up to them how fast they can execute them when they are hit.

you are correct, thanks for clearing that up, I will give dukascopy another go with USD pairs only because other brokers tend to be worse and I rather not shuffle around brokers
