Thank you for sharing your trading experience under unusual market conditions. We understand the frustration you may have with significantly widened spreads during major events like the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike. During extreme market conditions or the release of significant economic data, market volatility can be severe and liquidity can plummet. Liquidity providers adjust their quotes to mitigate risk, so widened spreads are inevitable. We remain committed to providing our clients with the most competitive spreads possible under all market conditions and maintaining transparency in our execution. We recommend planning your trading strategy in advance before these important events, managing your position size and risk appropriately to mitigate potential volatility and changes in transaction costs. If you have any questions regarding specific orders or quotes, please feel free to contact us and we will assist you in further verification.
