I doubt you understand what stop hunting is.
There are 2 forms of Stop Hunting that I know of.

1. The real market movers manipulating price (by buying and selling) to blow through stops.

2. Somebody sitting behind at desk at your broker pushing a magic button to cause your stop loss to activate, even if the real market is 10-20 or even 50-100 pips away from the stop loss.

People are complaining about #2.

Actually, I doubt YOU understand what stop hunting is. You welcome the NFA's BS? Maybe you work for a broker or the NFA - if so, get off this thread. This thread is for REAL traders. Get lost.

NFA regulation is a good thing, I welcome it.
Unbelievable! Take your commie comments elsewhere.

Thanks Dodge - I don't think this pinko Smittens clown understands that. Maybe it will help him open his eyes.

Have the new margin requirements taken effect with anyone's broker? It hasn't with FxSolutions....which is a good thing.

Let's not kid ourselves here, we're dealing with the National Futures Association, not the National Forex Association. The Futures market is losing more and more customers to Forex every day, who do you think they are looking out for?
Yup, you got it...
