Honestly, the spreads on GBPUSD right now are an absolute joke. It's like they're actively trying to steal your money during these quiet sessions. I entered a small position earlier around 1.3470 and the slippage on my entry alone was enough to wipe out any potential for a quick scalp. Then you have these fake wicks appearing out of nowhere, clearly designed to hit stop losses. It's not even trading anymore, it's just a rigged game against the retail trader. You see the price hover around a level, you think it's going to break, you place a trade, and suddenly the spread widens by 10 pips and your stop is gone before you even blink. This is how they profit, not from actual market movement but from these engineered inefficiencies. I'm so sick of it, it makes me want to just walk away.
