My spread on USD/JPY is currently just one pips. I have no idea what it was during the news though, I've seen increases to 10, even 15 pips. It makes it almost impossible to trade during that time.
What I was referring to-in another thread, I went on a rant about this broker I decided to try out. I couldn't figure out what was going on when my stop loss was over 26 pips on top of the highest price on AUDUSD in DAYS, on the day they stopped me out it was 29 pips from the stop loss. The broker told me non-chalantly that it had a 30-pip stop loss because of news. This was at about 7 am EST when I got stopped out-the "news" had been 12 hours earlier!! THEN, he tried to tell me they had the lowest spreads in the business for "beginners" and tried to push me to enter a live account "with just $50".
I made my donations at Christmas time; not altruistic enough in my cynical old age to "donate" $50 to this jerk. I'll stick with the broker I've been using, US Brokers can go....................(fill in the blank)
