This slippage is insane. I tried to buy BTCUSD around 66000 and my order got filled at 65700, like what even is that? And then the spread widens like crazy when you actually need to get out. Feels like the broker is just taking money out of my account with these fees and bad fills. It's almost impossible to make a decent profit when they're taking so much.

@adrew271 Ugh, I hate when that happens. Slippage is the worst, makes you feel like you're not in control. I just entered a small long position around 68000, hoping it doesn't pull back too hard. This session is so choppy though, hard to tell if it's real momentum or just noise before a big drop. Are you still holding that trade? Or did you get out with a loss? I'm always worried about getting caught in these fake outs, feels like the smart money is playing games.

@adrew271 Yeah, slippage and widening spreads can be brutal, especially during volatile sessions. It sounds like you're dealing with a pretty poor execution environment there. I'd definitely look into your broker's fill rates and commission structure if it's consistently costing you.
@adrew271 Yeah, that slippage sounds awful. It's like they're just taking our money. I'm not sure about getting in right now, the price keeps bouncing around that 67k level. Feels like it could drop any second. Should I even be trading this?
