@faisal3509 on DXY | PriceONN Community

These spreads are killing me, especially during the Asian session. Liquidity is so thin that slippage is guaranteed. I swear my broker widens them on purpose when I try to trade DXY. Makes it almost impossible to scalp effectively. Need a better broker istg...

Hey @faisal3509, I totally get what you mean about those spreads. It's super frustrating when you're trying to scalp and the broker eats into your potential profits before you even get going. I've found that trading during the New York session, when liquidity is better, helps a bit. Hope you find a good solution!
Yeah @faisal3509, I feel you on those spreads. It's brutal, especially when you're trying to be aggressive with your entries and exits during these low-liquidity sessions. I've noticed it too, almost like they're punishing us for trading at odd hours. I've been experimenting with different brokers lately, trying to find one that doesn't gouge me on commissions and spreads during these quiet times. It’s a constant hunt for that perfect balance between execution speed and cost. Maybe try looking into ECN accounts if you aren't already? They can sometimes offer tighter spreads, though the commission can add up too. It's a trade-off, for sure. 😩
