And Alpari UK is down...no trade can be opened. This has to be a joke...I just dumped the morons from FXopen for doing this kind of freezing bullshit all the time...and my first day with Alpari and they freeze for 5 minutes in the middle of the first London hour. Unbelievable... EDIT: Back up after 5 minutes. Looks like I will keep Tallinex as my only broker...everyone else seems to be a dealink desk joke.
btw i had the same issue as well...and all my orders but one were closed!!!!

i believe there is a glitch or something...so far my experience with alpari has been more than positive!

and taking in account that all their lines are busy...i suspect the above


edit: the last one was closed as well without me doing anything!!!!

{quote} Thanks for the kind words, everyone (won't quote all). I'll see how this turns out. The margin call indeed was part of my risk strategy, but I honestly didn't expect it to happen. It's just one account, but in this mess I lost some other trades I would have liked to keep. It will probably take some time to come to terms with this event, but I'm still alive. Going for lunch...
Just a quick update if anyone is interested: turns out the margincall worked it was supposed to, and the account balance which was negative for a while was corrected. The account didn't blow up as I at first thought. Looks like I did the right thing when I chose that borker (who's got a good reputation in Germany).
Still sorry for some lost trades along the way, but happy my own dumb ass stupidity didn't cost me more. I'm now officially and truly flat, which is a good feeling.
Fail better.

Still, I don't like those kind of "glitches", I have been with Tallinex for over a year and so far not even one problem...no "glitch" like this for even 1 second during all this time. If this happens again with Alpari, I am done with them, too...luckily I didn't have any trade open, just that pending short, but if I had...wouldn't be funny.

EDIT: They just cancelled my second pending, too...glitch, my ass, they are either morons or doing this on purpose. None of those 2 options makes me happy.

EDIT2: Can't even open the pending anymore, says "trade is disabled", jeez...I hate dealing with idiots. Forex is stressful enough without this.

there is only one reason for this to happen in case you have the "trade is disabled"..... other than a glitch... and i dont want right now to experience this thing.... especially now i was more than 75% in profit on my open ones (just about when i was to close them to lock profits)

{quote}..... A dozen or so micro bucket shop officially busted and a couple of big ones (IG, FXCM, etc) suffered severe losses....and those are only the reported ones.
I have no sympathy for these, if they fully covered every trade in the real market they would have little problems to deal with, as for IG I stopped using them a long time ago due to how they handled volatile moments like yesterday.... they basically freeze all the impacted trades in the terminals, manually work out their exposure, then go to market manually for one big fill and give all the clients with open positions exactly the same fill despite where the client TP or SL was..... so when you get a move like yesterday they get caught red handed.........

{quote} idiocy is the only explanation why the pegged it to the Euro, they would've done a better job pegging to the USD.... but they're in the middle of europe so the only thing they could think of pegging to at first is the euro.

EURUSD fell hard and fast during the course of yesterday session and as a result we are well below the 1.17 handle. The Swiss National Bank in an unscheduled announcement ended the currency peg that it had been holding onto at the 1.20 level in the EURCHF, putting significant downward pressure on the Euro in general.

EURUSD the new low of 1.1567!!!, and I closed my short at 1.1605. A close below 1.1640 should be enough to trigger losses to 1.1210 then 1.0835. Key resistance is 1.1871,.1.1916, 1.2000 and 1.2235 (200 ma).

Nope...1600-1610 will hold it, no worries. No new lows tomorrow...

I use Alpari, had two open orders that both closed in loss 9:24 London time. Afterwards i couldnt trade at all.
Which is pretty fucked up, since its dancing about the 2005 low, so i WOULD probably want to trade right now.

EDIT: From alparis homepage:

The recent move on the Swiss franc caused by the Swiss National Bank’s unexpected policy reversal of capping the Swiss franc against the euro has resulted in exceptional volatility and extreme lack of liquidity. This has resulted in the majority of clients sustaining losses which has exceeded their account equity. Where a client cannot cover this loss, it is passed on to us. This has forced Alpari (UK) Limited to confirm today, 16/01/15, that it has entered into insolvency. Retail client funds continue to be segregated in accordance with FCA rules. - See more at: http://www.alpari.co.uk/client-updat....f7DaQwTm.dpuf

Morning,

Eurusd is not going anywhere unless eurgbp finds bids around 30.

Its positioning and trimming right now. By default try to break above 50 to test 70/75.

Have to wait offers to be cleared on cable first.

PS. Crazy day yesterday, historic.
They think they are smarter than I am.
