@clearskies610 on ETHUSD | PriceONN Community
Seriously, the spreads on ETH right now are insane. I tried to snag a quick scalp at 2360 and got filled at 2365. Then tried to dump it at 2370 and got 2363. That's like 5 points just in slippage and spread! What broker are you guys even using? Mine is bleeding me dry on every single trade, especially during this stupidly quiet session. Feels like they're just waiting to screw us over.

Hey @clearskies610, I totally feel your pain with those spreads on ETH. It's brutal especially when you're trying to scalp and every tiny move gets eaten up. I'm using a different broker, but yeah, the liquidity can be really thin sometimes, making it tough. I tried to get a quick entry around 2315 earlier and the slippage was noticeable. It's like the market makers are just grabbing every bit of liquidity they can. Makes you wonder if it's even worth trying to scalp in these conditions, or if you just have to ride bigger trends. What are your thoughts on holding trades longer to avoid that spread hit?
