Man, these spreads on ETHUSD right now are just brutal. Trying to scalp even a few pips feels impossible. Every time I get a fill, it's like a cent or two worse than I expected. And slippage during these midday moves? Don't even get me started. Makes you wonder if it's even worth the hassle sometimes.

Yeah, same here. These spreads on ETHUSD are criminal, especially during the New York open. I saw that bounce off the 2370 area and tried to jump in, but the slippage alone wiped out half my potential profit before I even got the entry. It’s a rigged game for sure, they profit from our pain.

Seriously, the slippage on these smaller moves is ridiculous. I entered a small short just now around 2320, expecting it to dip a bit more, and immediately got filled at 2323. Then I tried to set a TP and the platform lagged for like five seconds. It’s like they’re actively working against you when

@jessicawilliams Totally feel you on those ETHUSD spreads and slippage, it's a nightmare. Makes scalping almost impossible for me too. I usually wait for the US session to settle a bit before even thinking about entering.
Yo @jessicawilliams, I hear you on those ETHUSD spreads and slippage, it's a total pain in the backside, especially during the NY open when things get wild. Seems like every tick is costing me extra just to get in or out. I tried a small scalp earlier on a dip to around 2318, aiming for a quick 20-30 pips, but the fill was garbage and I got out break-even. Makes you feel like you're fighting the broker more than the market sometimes, right? And don't even get me started on trying to set a tight stop loss, it just gets blown through. This whole oil surge due to the Iran conflict is adding another layer of chaos to everything, not sure how it's impacting ETHUSD directly but it's making the overall market super jumpy. Maybe it's just better to sit on the sidelines for a bit and wait for a clearer picture than to bleed small amounts on bad fills.
