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 fairly simillar pattern of spike-and-fade, during which times order entry is either impossible or subjects the trader to potentially significant slippage. I have traded NFP and other "Big" news with three brokers, two mentioned earlier in this thread, and only one...OAND-A, has performed well always. In general, and 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 and suggest is posibly the least volitile in terms of price offerings per second. In that regard, they are fairly tame. My preferences are for fair and prompt order execution and a tight spread, not wild price swings you may or may not be able to trade. I think you might find that model appealing and more profitable over time. Best of luck.
