BlueGuardian spreads

well trading the test-account with BlueGuardian turned out to be alot more complex than anticipated as spreads and pricing offsets making this quite difficult.

trading anything other than majors like EURUSD and .. well actually only EURUSD and maybe USDCAD in the US Session.

trading a non major like BTCUSD or ETHUSD the price offset of almost 0,5% makes it almost impossible to manually place trades with the same TP/SL set.
This makes Scalping assets like crypto almost impossible due to the same offset problem and the spread itself.


The screenshoot shows BlueGuardian MT5 (connected to BlueGuardian-Server) ETHUSD M15 in the foreground with a spread of $4.07 while the chart in the background is cTrader with a InstantFunding feed also showing ETCUSD M15 with a spread of $0.41, both brokers do not charge a commission on Crypto, but the massive spread of $40-90 on BTC makes scalping pretty much impossible. as $4 spread is 0.2% of the asset price as a whole.

In Money Terms: when you breaking even on Instantfunding cTrader,
the BlueGuardian account will still be 0.08% in a loss (same sizes and entries)
