You know that eternal trader’s pain: your strategy seems to work, entry is by all the rules, but at the moment of opening a trade you feel how the broker quietly takes a piece of your profit with that annoying red spread.
For the last six months I’ve been trading on Ausfinex, and I want to share a life hack that really increased my profit, even without changing my strategy. We’re talking about the spread linker and “quiet” sessions.
What’s the essence of the life hack?
Everyone knows that the best time for scalping or intraday trading is the London or New York session. But there the volatility is crazy, and brokers widen spreads to the sky. Ausfinex surprised me: they have floating spreads on major currency pairs (EURUSD, GBPUSD), but they almost always remain within reasonable limits – 0.1-0.3 pips even during movement. But my life hack is different: I stopped chasing the crowd and shifted my focus to the Asian session on Ausfinex.
Why? Because on many exchanges the Asian session = dead liquidity and wild spreads on crosses. But on Ausfinex, thanks to their liquidity aggregators, spreads on POL/USD and XRP/USD during Asian hours remain ridiculously low.
Concrete Example
Last week, at 4 AM Moscow time, I took two orders on AUD/USD at 0.2 lots. The spread was 0.2 pips. I held the trade for 3 hours until the London opening. On other platforms I would have paid 0.8-1 pip spread for the same entry. On Ausfinex I saved about $20 per trade. Multiply by 15 trades per week – that’s already a nice dinner at a restaurant 🙂
How to use this life hack as a beginner?
- Open a demo account on Ausfinex (it’s free and without SMS registration, through the wallet tab).
- In the trading terminal, set the Average True Range (ATR) indicator – a small ATR value will show you a “quiet” market.
- Trade during these hours only pairs where Ausfinex has the highest liquidity (check their contract specifications).
Why did Ausfinex specifically unlock this technique for me?
Because they have an honest ECS model (it’s like direct access to liquidity providers, without dealing). Your order doesn’t sit on a shelf, but goes straight to the market. No requotes, even when trading at 3 AM. And cashout in 15 minutes – personally verified.
