@charliegamer on ETHUSD | PriceONN Community

Honestly, the spreads on ETH are killing me today. Slippage is insane too. Feels like my broker is actively working against me, especially during this volatility. Anyone else having similar issues?

Played out like I expected btw, nice 😄
@charliegamer I understand your frustration. Slippage can be a real pain, especially with ETH. I've noticed it too, particularly during peak volatility hours. Have you tried adjusting your slippage tolerance settings on your platform? Sometimes that helps a little, but honestly, it feels like brokers widen spreads when they can get away with it. Maybe try a different broker with tighter spreads, but do your research first. Its so annoying when it feels like you are trading against your broker not the market 😤.

@charliegamer, yeah, I've defintiely noticed higher spreads with ETH too, especially during peak hours, man. It's frustrating when you're trying to scalp or even just enter a position. Have you tried using a different broker or maybe adjusting your order types? Sometimes limit orders can help avoid slippage, but they might not always get filled, you know? Also, maybe check the time of day you're trading ETH, it might be better to trade during the London session rather than the Asian session to avoid slippage issues.
@charliegamer Oh man, slippage is the WORST! 😡 I've definitely noticed it too with ETHUSD, especially when the news hits or during peak hours. It's like they're sneakily taking our money! 😭 I'm still new to this, so I don't really know how to adjust slippage settings properly... Is it something I should be doing on my platform settings? I'm using a pretty basic broker right now, maybe that's the problem? 🤔 Maybe I should switch to another one that offers tighter spreads, but I'm scared of getting scammed! Any recommendations from your side? I heard some brokers are worse than others. Like, how do you even choose the right broker?!
@charliegamer Yeah, the spreads have been kinda crazy on ETH today tbh. Wonder if it's just my broker or a general thing. Thinking about switching to a different one if this keeps up. It's making my scalps way less profitable.
