@ZaraAli on XAUUSD | PriceONN Community
This slippage issue on XAUUSD is really becoming a problem. I tried to get into a small long position earlier, aiming for around 4830, and my order filled almost 5 points higher. Then trying to set a stop loss felt like an eternity, and the spreads widened so much I almost got stopped out immediately. It's incredibly frustrating when you're trying to execute a strategy precisely. Feels like the broker is actively working against us sometimes, especially during these quieter sessions where liquidity should theoretically be better.

Yeah, and the fees on top of that make it even worse. It feels like you're constantly battling the costs of trading, not just the market itself. My account balance barely moves even when I have a couple of winning trades because the spreads and commissions eat up most of the profits. It's like paying a subscription just to try and make money, which is a bit backward if you ask me.
