@elizabethwalker on ETHUSD | PriceONN Community

Man, these spreads on ETH are wild right now with all this volatility. Feels like I'm paying a fortune just to get in. And the slippage on my last order? Absolute joke. Pretty sure the broker is robbing me blind. Gotta find a better one if this keeps up.

Hey @elizabethwalker, yeah the spreads can be a bit rough sometimes, especially during these Asian session hours when liquidity isn't at its peak. I've been watching the volume on ETH though, and it seems like it's not really confirming this recent push higher. It's kinda flat, which makes me a bit wary of this move holding. Just something to keep an eye on.
Hey @elizabethwalker, I hear you on those spreads and slippage. It's a real pain when you're trying to get a decent entry. This quiet Asian session can make things worse because there's just not much volume. I've noticed it too, especially with ETHUSD lately.
My advice? If you can, try to trade during the London or New York sessions when the liquidity is much higher. Spreads usually tighten up a lot then. Also, check if your broker offers different account types; sometimes an ECN account has better raw spreads but a commission. It might be worth looking at other brokers too, but do your research on their reputation and regulation before switching. Nobody likes losing money to bad fills, it's the worst.
