I wonder what is a reasonable amount of slippage one would encounter on a trade. I have recently been stopped out on a forex pair with spread 6.8 pips and slippage of 16.8 pips !!! Does this seem normal ?
In this climate “normal” slippage goes out the window I’m afraid.
This does seem to be excessive for currency pairs, but if you’re trading Crypto and other exotic pairs outside normal market hours, this ‘slippage’ could be normal. I suggest you take it up with your broker, because you’re playing a negative sum game with these prices. .
Most likely the current global climate/tensions we can expect to see unusual and excessive slippage persist
