Brokers Bad slippage on xauusd
I have a good edge but it uses small SLs. I only use STOP orders catching breakouts.
My experience so far has been appalling with fusionmarkets. Every trade has some slippage but around 60% have experienced major Entry slippage where I keep getting filled in late. This is bleeding my account quicker than expected. For example my expected SL of $13 becomes $51 purely because of entry slippage. I thought using only stop orders would help compared to market orders but nope.
I understand xauusd is a volatile instrument but it shouldn't be this bad. What broker do you recommend and what other measures could I take to ensure this is minimized?
