Anyone else seeing increased slippage on EURUSD after recent volatility spikes?

asked by u/aaron_nguyen · 3d · 1 answers

Not sure if it's my connection or the broker's liquidity, but my $EURUSD fills have been consistently worse than usual during these quick moves. It's more than just wider spreads; I'm getting hammered on execution slippage, even on relatively small lots. Wondering if others are experiencing similar degradation with their current setups, or if it's time to re-evaluate my broker's market access.

    I've definitely noticed wider spreads and some increased slippage on EURUSD, particularly during those sharp impulses we've had lately. It's not just you; it seems like a liquidity crunch in some spots, and even good brokers are struggling with fills when the volume hits certain thresholds. Might be worth checking other brokers' execution reports if you're seriously considering a switch.
