Re: Most volatile broker?

problem is they freeze the system over the numbers thereby not giving you the ability to know what a real ability to trade is


which is what you want to know - you may see it go down 20 pips but you may not be able to trade those pips so cant really answer that question in the real world

Re: Most volatile broker?

USA25 is right. Volitility comparison between brokers is not the central issue but the ability to act on trade-ready prices at your chosen brokerage is. I think what you'll find on most brokers is a fly simillar pattern of spike--fade during which times order entry is either impossible or subjects the trader to potentially significant slippage. I have traded NFP other "Big" news with three brokers two mentioned earlier in this thread only one...O-A has performed well always. In general I am not an employee I don't see any other brokerage as an option for myself...but I do not attempt to trade immediately following Big News. However the broker I use suggest is posibly the least volitile in terms of price offerings per second. In that regard they are fly tame. My preferences are for f prompt order execution a tight spread not wild price swings you may or may not be able to trade. I think you might find that model appealing more profitable over time. Best of luck.
