Million Dollar Pips讨论

I have been comparing two brokers lately, one has a 0 pip distance for SL (Broker1) and the other a 2 pip SL distance (broker 2). Although slippage is a lot less on broker 2 I have noticed that because I can place my stop losses tighter on broker 1 its doing a lot better.... has anyone else looked into the difference the SL distance makes? I read it needs to be under 3, but it seems brokers with a SL distance of 0 work best... ???

haha.. loss loss loss..happy loss.

why no one share you are loss.

I believe MDP needs a stops level of 3 or less. That doesn't mean that if a broker has it at 0 it is better. MDP places it at 3 so if the broker has a 0 level it really doesn't mean anything except tht MDP can trade there. Anybody else??

Thanks reader. I was comparing the logs on both and the broker with the 2 pip spread distance had a bunch off errors not being able to place the SL and TP etc. Where as the other broker seemed to have placed them fine.

Yea most of us have been losing for the past few days, but i'm sure it will go back up again :D

With broker 1 I had no trades last night and made $5 the night before.
With broker 2 I had no trades last night and lost 0.6% the night before.

The market has been really quiet with not much news or action. Looks like alot of new tonight.....

It really sounds weird.

You know that Your night is my day ?

yesterday losses, no trades today

yep, so for me MDP trades while I'm asleep, so I go to bed wondering what will happen.

Two trade, all loss

two trade, loss total 6.1 pips

8 trades, all loss 🙄

better to trade manually, remember 'trend is your friend' 😎

It was a bad trade. maximum possible take was about 2 pips and that would only have been by luck. I tried to close out and still got a small loss. Couldn't get the trades closed before it went negative.
