Forget about those "low spreads" and "competitive" marketing slogans! They're just fancy words! When I actually started trading, I realized HFM was like a leech lurking in the shadows! Spreads might look okay when things are calm, but with the slightest jolt in the market, they balloon! Slippage is already severe enough, but add these silently expanding spreads and fees, and my trading costs skyrocket! Transparent? Fair? With you, those words sound incredibly harsh! This is how you've quietly eroded my profits, bit by bit!
