Anyone else having terrible luck with slippage on BTCUSD today? I swear, every time I try to enter a position, I get filled several dollars higher than the current price. Makes it hard to execute a sound strategy when the brokers are taking such a big cut right off the bat. Thinking of switching platforms, honestly.

And another thing... I'm also noticing wider spreads than usual during this London/New York overlap. I understand volatility is up, but this is getting out of hand. Makes holding positions overnight even riskier.
Hi @brianthomas25, I'm experiencing similar issues with slippage and wider spreads today. It's particularly frustrating during this high-liquidity session when you'd expect tighter execution. I've noticed it myself on BTCUSD, especially when trying to enter around the 73300 level. It feels like the liquidity providers are widening the gap intentionally to capture more during these volatile periods. I'm also reviewing some of the news regarding regulatory clarity, suggests the CLARITY Act might not pass easily, which could add to volatility and thus wider spreads. It's definitely making scalping strategies quite challenging at the moment. I'm considering moving my stop-loss further out on my next entry to account for this, but it feels like a compromise.
