Well said, and this is just a convenient excuse for everything...

That's still so slow...1.3ms to match a trade is an eternity.

I agree. In order to move the market by such magnitude you need to have some ridiculous limits or immense co-ordination between parties. There is no way that a single person/algo/trader was responsible for this.

And dont forget, no regulation at all

Why are people here surprised that they were wiped out when they run 100:1 leverage? A 20:1 leverage account would have been wiped out last night. Agree with the above poster, just scale back your leverage guys.

Any platform that didn't 'freeze' was because they chose not to halt the market, as this is what you would expect. As for the crooks that froze the relevant ccy pairs, they are a bunch of crooks, but what sort of action you can take against them is ...

So many people asleep now will wake up and find out they have been wiped out by this. Feel sorry for them, but I can see this going to near parity in the near future. Whatever happens in the world, the $$$ will always be/stay the safe haven and the ...

Well said, and especially as 400:1 leverage with ActivTrades means that a 0.25% move against you will wipe you out entirely.

Well said. In simple terms, imagine that he was on day 4 where his balance is north of 10k euros. Would you be willing to tolerate a 30%-40% drawdown without cutting the trade?

I did but in a demo account and already had a MC. It's hard to judge someone on 1 day worth of performance/trading, and I still do wish him the best of luck in this venture.

Just one question. Is this a system that you have only back-tested and are running it live for the 1st time just this week, or have you run it live before and for how long? Wishing you all the best regardless of your answer

Maybe got hosed by the SNB move
- majkara replied Jan 22, 2015
No...the move in some currencies was up to 40%, so the only way to protect themselves would have been a max leverage of 2:1. At 4:1 a 25% wipes you out, and at 5:1 a 20% move wipes you out.

Its called Mario Draghi effect

I wonder how many ppl on this thread got hosed by the CHF events last week?

You guys are killin' me

It is if you look at it from a moral point of view. However, this is fx cash and it is an unregulated market so they can pretty much do whatever they want, hence what is why hear of re-pricing/cancelled trades. This is just an event that will ...

Of course not. Anyone with a negative balance has lost all their money and in effect 'owes' money to FXCM. I would presume that accounts with negative balances will just get deleted, with the new owner assuming all the negative accounts balance debt. ...
