Did you also notice they charged a 50 pip spread on the GBPUSD today!
Thursday 15 min before the US open I was about to open a trade but say the spread of 6 pips on the EURUSD, so I emilid them as to why, When I traded Futures my broker never raised the commission when news came out.
The responce from FXDD is below
Due to breaking news that came out early in London the market has been very volatile.
Thank You,
