Company's usual response to such situation:

"It should be mentioned that in accordance with the "General rules for depositing and withdrawing funds" that are available on our official website here, 'If a deposit or withdrawal is not carried out instantly, it will be completed within 24 hours'. We insist that this rule must be observed in every trading strategy. Therefore, the fact that the money could have been credited instantly may not be used as a general reason to compensate for an unprofitable trading order."
