That is the first I have tried GBPJPY.... and I assume you are correct.. slippage and spread.

I have a similar one on EurUsd that I will attach to a chart for an experiment.

Thanks for pointing that out...... I will stay away from the spread monsters...... lol

Thanks for the tutoring for the past couple days..

I think I should have realized about the high spread and volatility..

Thanks again.

Hey Dave,

Orders seem to be more or less apart from the prices by the amount of spread, take the last screenshot and look - opened at 5:10 @ 134.80, so spread around 6 pips = 134.74, there's definitely some slippage (~1 pip) too, so I'd say it's normal. Or in the first pic, 2:45 sell order price is pretty spot on compared to chart price, next buy orders are a part from it again by 6-7 pips, that means spread plus slippage.

You know, that is the main reason why I avoid large spread pairs, they just kill you if you have a high frequency strategy.

for some reason, seems that FST is entering prices far from the current price which is resulting in immediate losses.....

I added a statement from a different broker

I think the problem is in the strategy... but I do not see what the problem could be..
