Is it possible that FX brokers cancel my trades today?? I just sent an email to FXDD.
100% possible, yes

How are you sure its 100% possible. Was there a past event that FX brokers made massive profit deletion??
Probably not.

Forex is unregulated,over the counter there are no circuit breakers, no liquidity replenishment points, no after market hours, or any of that stuff. If you want to place an order to trade at any point during the 24 hours you can do that. Whether the market is volatile, semi volatile, or once in a year volatility like today you can get it done just as long as you are willing to accept the prices offered by the market.

The forex market legitimately traded at the price levels, its not like it was some erroneous tick, wayy off market fill.

Now you could argue that the erroneous trade in the stock market caused people to have a high degree of risk aversion,thus dumping the carry trade and buying dollars and yen across the board but it doesn't matter.

Today probably sucked for a certain number of funds that were grossly mispositioned for the action and got slipped badly on their stop orders for sure. But that's just the way the forex market works. 24 hour trading means 24 hour potential for volatility and the ability for people to panic and start dumping billions of dollar orders into an illiquid market.

It's possible, if you made some serious dough with a market maker. Remember, these MM's aren't that big...

If you were ECN, you just robbed another bloke.

Like the guy above me said, it wasn't that it was a spike or a misfeed, and your orders couldn't get filled. It was actual movement, so most likely your trade won't be canceled, unless you robbed your MM to the bone.
ECNs don't match you up to other people buddy,, just to larger liquidity providers

No , my account is only up $ 500 total profit. But you are true because this guy made thousands trading news. http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=95864 so I have his stories in my mind. I am withdrawing all my money from FXDD and I'll report back here.

who are other market makers, banks, which consist of other 'blokes' to become a 'liquidity provider'.

Honestly? I am sorry if it was confusing for you.

I don't think you should worry about $500 though.

yep they are just larger market makers, retail traders can't get access to the real interbank, which only institutional players can

which is why when you hear of ECN and STP they are just fancy ways of saying they are redirecting you to a larger broker/bank/market maker lol... all funny days

and in fact when you look at it more deeper, all these ECNs seem to be are just IBs.. and get to divert accountability as they are not directly taking our trades..

but there are some exceptions, dukascopy I think have some unique exchange environment, and ECNs like fxopen become so impersonal, I believe, that you get tthe same sorta benefit

I think he misunderstood, taking 100% possible as 100% likely which is completely different.

Now if you had said its 50% possible that 10% of brokers are 7% likely to cancel 32% of trades. That would have made more sense

Thank you for the help Sim. In my turn I'll help you with your english and suggest that you should use something called "full stop".
