EBC's "low spread" is a lie. They advertise "fixed 4 pips spread for USD/JPY," but every time I trade during the evening in Thailand, the spread spikes to 28-32 pips. Last month on the 22nd, I traded XAU/USD—the spread showed 6 when I placed the order, but it changed to 19 after trade confirmation, forcing me to pay an additional 27,000 THB in commissions. Before and after market open, EBC's stock prices surged abnormally, especially with stop-loss orders clustered at key levels. 73% of my stop-loss orders were triggered by this abnormal volatility, with an average deviation of 2.8 pips from the set position. The same stop-loss orders set on other platforms were triggered only 22% of the time. This frustrated me so much that I sent complaint emails for seven consecutive days. EBC is a deceptive platform that exploits retail traders with spreads.
