Hey guys. I have been trading with oanda for years and have always encountered a 15-20 pip spread for GBP/USD at major news release time (sometimes more, but very rarely). I have just come back from a long break and I am now copping around a 40 pip spread for GBP/USD. Anyone know if this has become a regular thing for oanda.
Also would like to here from guys using ecn/stp systems if they have whitnessed increase spreads of this magnitude for GBP/USD lately, or is OANDA starting to take the piss a bit?
As far as I have noticed, EUR/USD is still generally 10 pips at news time, same as it always was.
Cheers guys
