@manish9707 on BTCUSD | PriceONN Community

Ugh, I'm so done with these spreads on BTCUSD right now. I placed a small buy order near that 66163 Bollinger band and the slippage was insane! 😩 Felt like I bought way higher than I intended. Is it just me or is it really bad during this Asian session?

Hey @manish9707, I feel you on those spreads and slippage during the Asian session. It's brutal. I was watching BTCUSD like a hawk, and that move up was insane but the entry wasn't clean. I went full margin long around 66.5k, riding that wave. You gotta be aggressive with this kind of volatility, otherwise, you miss the big moves. Forget the small losses on slippage, it's about the overall win. The interactive brokers news about crypto expansion in Europe probably gave it a little boost too, more buyers entering the market. Don't let those tiny spread issues get you down, just be patient for the next big swing.
Hey @manish9707, I've noticed the slippage can be rough during the Asian session too. My lesson learned was to always check the spread *before* I even think about placing an order, especially on less liquid pairs or during these transition times. Sometimes waiting just an hour or two for London to open makes a world of difference.

@manish9707 Yeah, I've definitely noticed that too. The spreads can be brutal during the Asian session for BTCUSD. It's always a gamble trying to get a clean entry then.

Hey @manish9707, I totally get what you mean about the spreads and slippage during the Asian session on BTCUSD. It's been pretty rough lately. I saw that move you were talking about, and the entry felt really sloppy. I'm thinking maybe it's just the volatility at this time of day, but it's definitely making it hard to get clean trades.
Hey @manish9707, yeah, I've experienced that slippage too. It's a real pain, especially when you're trying to scalp or get a precise entry. During this London/NY overlap, liquidity is high, but sometimes those rapid moves can still cause issues with execution. Always good to be aware of the spread before placing any order.
