So who hasn't lived through the day ))) - page 10

 
Andrey Dik:
Don't fantasise. Read my previous posts, or open the terminal and look for yourself.

Strictly in line with your advice: LOW minute candle 2:10 at three different brokers:

1.1428

1.1302

1.1978

All ECN accounts

Apart from that figure 1.11 was posted?

The pound price at that time is 1.2070 - you can see the screenshot above.

 
СанСаныч Фоменко:

Now looked at the forum of our biggest DC.

One mentioned the spread and it was immediately made somewhere.

There was a low price from 1.11 to 1.1978: they were spreading ALL the time, in proportion to greed, and used it to form prices on charts when the closing price was trying to catch up with the quote. On the sly. Kind of like picking up stops with a hairpin. And here it was done using the spread. The whole thing lasted less than a minute. Is this a market quote? Or maybe NOT a market quote with a strong whiff of thimbles?

Something based on experience I can't add - been out of the market, my PAMM stayed alive. But accidentally, so I am participating as there is no guarantee that I won't get caught in a lockout next time.

So I understand that every brokerage company, in order to protect their interests, has a system set up to expand the spread, based on its concept of possible fluctuations in the market.

It's not like we can demand a fixed spread from them, we just vote with our feet against such bad ones.

Today was a good chance to identify such kitchens.

So you were talking about the spread. What was it like at these three brokers?
 
Yurij Izyumov:
you get up and there is a 10,000ppt candlestick in the oppa's account)
And given the half-hedge, apparently it was all spread, otherwise I don't understand why it died )
Because a minus on one should have been offset by a plus on the other.
Am I the only fearless one with no stops ?
Hahaha, this is the most interesting topic of discussion for the last month)
I stood up and was shocked when I saw it without any news at night, of course I didn't expect that, but it didn't surprise me at all ... this usually happens when no one expects it)

A lot of people are awake and have no time for laughter.
 

Don't forget that the pound rate was recently downgraded which didn't play to its advantage either. There was a bigger candle on the 24th of June.

IMHO the pound is going down as punishment for leaving the EU. The pound has fallen 16% since the referendum on the current one was announced.

But, here, what is better than the depreciation of the pound or that their goods become cheaper and therefore more competitive.

They've already benefited from a weaker pound. And it's not certain that they will come out despite the referendum. You can stall for quite a long time.
 

My EA starts collecting Bid and Ask values when the spread widens. Although the spread widened, but the price itself was bouncing back and forth for 1-2 seconds.
Here's what I've got from one reputable Australian broker (demo account), VPS time, a small excerpt:

Who can explain? If the pound was sold, what was bought? The dollar - it didn't move, the euro - it stood still... Who was rising while the pound was falling?
