    Newbie question for froex traders

But ignoring/deleting an entry order???!!! Hey, where did the slippage go? if you don't fill on market, then just give me the...

    Guaranteed fills in FX stops...

    now they apply new rule that in time of events they dont guarantee fills of entry orders. Another trader said to me he was told that if order is placed 5 or more minuted before the release, it will be accepted. Otherwise they dont guarantee.
