First interesting experience with the new forex platform comparison tool.
At 14:30 GMT+2 the GDP was released by the US Bureau of Economic Analysis. The news shaked EUR USD during 5 minutes. Oanda: Real account the spread was increased 8 minutes before the stat from 1.2 pips to 1.8 and 1 minute before the release from 1.8 to 2.5. At 14:30 the spread hit 10 pips until 14:31. The price was not tradable during the release because the spread was to high. When the spread was decreased my platform was blocked 2 times during more than 30 seconds. FXCM: demo account The spread was near 2.5 until 10 seconds before the release. During 1 minute the spread evolved between 1.1 and 5 pips (While Oanda was at 10 pips). After the spread was at 2.5 (as always) The price oscillated without blocking. Maybe the paradise for scalpers (??). ACM: demo account The spread is fixed at 1.8 pip. It didn't move at all. The price follows the oscillation of FXCM with 5 seconds late. Then the platform was bloqued 2 times during 20 seconds.
I remind you that those observations are based on my screen shot. I may have some errors in the data processing. The platforms could be blocked only on my computer. |
