Recently I found out that trading during economic releases causes severe slippage. I understand that news releases can cause slippage but not this much! In the first pic attached, I placed my sell stop order at 161.620. But it was filled at close to 161.385. That was a 23 pip difference! In the second pic attached, I placed my buy stop at 0.90110. But it was filled 0.90274. That was a 16 pip difference!
