Forex dot com

Hi, I am new. I am using forex.com.
Last month when Non farm payroll data is released, my EUR/USD order get filled 50 pips away from my order price.
I understand when a event like non farm pay roll data releasing. there might be a lot of traders try to trade at that same moment.
But is 50 pips slipping normal?

If you’re using a platform like forex.com I guess so.

If you’re a novice I’ll advice you to use a company that does not use a dealing desk. My top 2 choice are

  1. FX Solutions
  2. Interbank FX

Take it from someone who has spent countless hours researching firms for 2 months. I wish I found this site earlier on, but I did not… Anyways won’t trade the knowledge I got for anything though.

Basically if you’re trading b/w $500 - $10,000, use the guys I mentioned above, and don’t be stupid, trade micro or mini lots.

Holla @ moi if you need more info sir or madame…
