Slippage issues with markets.com?

Hi
Yesterday i had a sell stop order for XAUUSD at 1180 and the Price was filled at 1174. That is quite a big slippage. I realized that there was some small “flash crash” from 1182 to 1174.
With Oanda or Alpari I had the same trade but no significant slippage occurred. Just some cents. But the slippage at Markets was quite big…6 full $...that would be 60 ticks in the GC future
The problem is that I had some slippage at markets.com in December as well, that time I was slipped 4$...whereas at the same time I did not have that issue with other brokers.
And in December I traded only 7 times the XAU..so out of 8 times I have had 2 very bad slippages…and the gold market is not precisely volatile lately…what could I expect when volatility comes back?
Has anyone else have had slippage issues in markets.com? what about other brokers?

Thanks

Are your's markets.com platforms working? I can't login almost half hour...

you should do a search you will be surprised how bad this broker is

I must say that markets.com is one of the worst brokers when it comes to slippage. I have been trading with them for sometime and my experience is they will not let you win a penny. I feel like they watch every single trade I make and try many dirty tricks to make me lose. As an example out of hundreds others I am trading USDMX and the spread suddenly changed to an imaginary value... The latest spread as of November 11 was: sell at 20.7385 and buy at 20.8381
Also the sell and buy are updating individually, I mean it's really strange to see the sell price moving up or down while the buy price is fixed and then vise versa the buy price is moving up or down while the sell price is fixed.
I had sent them many emails for that issue with screen shots asking for explanations but until now no response.
On other problems I found out that when I close some of my trade positions the trade gets closed at a price that is outside the boundary of the price on the mt4 chart and when I sent them complaints they respond after weeks of delay that they can not find anything wrong. What a scammer!!!

It was Forex.com, now its Markets.com? Seriously?

Guys, sometimes the hint of the scam is in the name itself. A proper broker wouldn't name himself that. Lets say InstaForex is a scam, but at least thats a decent broker name that will give you your profits back (if its less than $100)

Seems like this is normal for gold market. It happened once or twice per week especially during low liquidity i.e. asian session, late new york session and friday late new york session and news release. This happened almost regularly to pepperstone
