Broker Real Stop Hunt on Gold XAUUSD

Found out about IC Markets on March 26 there is a huge stop hunt / mispricing or whatever you call it that occured. IMO, this is not fair at all. This is too much if that quote is true.

I checked on Oanda and Pepperstone and I dont' see this irregular quote.

Please confirm in your charts and let us know if are one of those that got stopped on this trade because of that sudden illiquidity.

Thanks. That's odd. Is this MT5 too? I hope others can pitch in.

I have been away for a few days. So have just checked my chart and it shows on my IC chart But not on my ETX chart. Very strange.

ETX Chart. I have not traded gold for a long time but I do have a live a/c with IC so I am not happy to see a spike like that.

I think all Brokers must be stop hunting. Just look left on the ETX Chart and there are several spikes that are not showing on the IC Chart. They almost look like different charts. Good Luck and trading to all.
