close the position up front then reopen it after the spreads tighten again (assuming your reason for being in the trade is still valid.) Sounds like a broker that just shuts down for a few minutes might be a good idea. As shown in my example above, I would have been stopped out of my CAD/CHF position by the quick spread increase had I not been able to move my stop. I have been stopped out many times by this in the past when I was not able to be at my computer during rollover to temporarily move my stops. Something for me to think about.

Well, I have always found FXCM very reasonable to deal with on the phone, and they will always email a confirmation of what they say if you ask. I would simply ring them up and ask them!
