If EURUSD continues falling, I can't imagine EURCHF 1.20 will hold for much longer. and 1.20 break will be spectacular (not just eurchf, there would be shockwaves across the markets, stocks crashing, perhaps further lows on oil, emerging markets flushing down the toilet etc. ) maybe they will avoid it this time again, but it seems to be getting harder and harder now. Brace for impact. I'll keep taking more euroswissy shorts even if it goes to 1.30 before. I feel it just got to go down.

final thoughts. 11% of all the traded volume in the world was long EURCHF so one can assume that all these firms are insolvent so they will be in a hurry to collect as much as they can to avoid imminent bankrupcy before the end of the month. Tell them that you are suffering an act of God and that you have no liquidity at the moment, delay them as much as possible because in the end they are the ones in trouble... They owe the bank that offered liquidity to execute you trades, you are only one ammong hundres off thousands

Damn... It must be really stressful.
Here's something that might interest you, buddy.

Some lies
(...)A special team on Saxo’s trading floor was working hard yesterday night to resolve the situation for clients having lost money in the Swiss currency crosses and working with the affected clients. Liquidity in the market was suddenly almost non-existent following the SNB announcement, and the team had to ensure and verify that all orders and execution requests were executed at reliable prices. For some clients this meant that their positions were stopped out.

Pure robbery:
(... from the forum below) Hi, I had stoploss orders at 1,2005, at first i seemed like the orders were excecuted above 1,20. But got a mail a couple of hours later from Saxo telling me that there might be changes.... 12 hours later I got a new mail telling me the orders were changed to 0.96.

Honestly, am not that involved in OTC to give you a better advice than others. It must get the same prices updates like our normal trading platforms and methods.

It went to 0.86 in 10 min. for u, the same happened for some brokers normal accounts, others had 1.01 low

About the Swiss mafia bank, explained that before, what can i add more!, briefly, why apply both cut rates and remove peg, doing the first and waiting for market reaction was the smartest decision. Who will u talk to? Idiots like Jordan and the other basXXXrds.
Other than putting many big companies out of business including Swiss ones, the Swiss idiot bank left the companies employees and their families to the street destiny!!! What a shameful CB!!

{quote} I would advise everyone to remain calm. This obviously is a special situation, and brokers will at the moment push with everything they have at their disposal to get negative balance from their customers. They might even have ultra secure formulations in their contracts to enable them to do just that. But recieving the money is something very different. As far as I understand, a lot of people who have negative balance simply don't have that much money. It's their own fault, of course, read the contract before you sign anything! There was...
Good advice. No need to panic. Wait for them to make the legal step. You have time later to review and discuss the case with your lawyer depending to the scam broker charges specifically.

There is a lesson behind this: only free floating instruments should be available to the public on trading platforms
Maybe best time to go back to paper money exchange, safest method out of the 95% of brokers(SCAM)

{quote} i simly cant get Quite, if i cant trade against saxo, because i switch broker years ago, i Will try to trade against them without account, by advising to thos who have negative balance to not pay them anything . If you have XYK negative balance, consider this as a trade, risk XK to lawyer (if you would need it all) and your profit is XYK (your negative account at them), why not take that trade???....i simply dont understand why not. evrybody saying you should pay, are either brokers people or stupid, and dont know how stuff like that goes...
Right. First, if they have the guts to make a legal step(the word will spread in forums before u know it from a letter to ur house, u have time), instantly withdraw ur money from banks, write ur properties(land, houses..etc) in the name of ur father or mother(safest, guaranteed).

Second, no need to appoint a lawyer, tell the court you can't pay him, they're obliged to assign one for u, even criminals get this.

You kidding? The SNB finally has credibility. How is the SNB's fault traders are lazy? The credibility was lost when the peg was created in the first was place. Traders have ate out of central bankers' hands for six years and this bullshit thing called forward guidance. Surprise! This is what forex should be.

This is what all brokers must had done if they apply the basics of trading conditions. Sadly, 95% turned to be B-Book brokers, nothin transferred to real market.

High Leverage may had killed brokers, but it must had protected clients, bcoz the more u over leverage the more ur orders must be stopped out before time(no free margin), if not all at once, partially until all available margin runs off.

Not necessarily, not in an event like this. Who knows where they're cut on a 3,500 pip drop. I have personally see traders' margin go into the negative under "normal" circumstances.

For sure. Not sure about hkd but chf was not pegged, buying eurchf offered an upside with no downside, words from snb offered confidence to leverage. I wasnt around 30 years ago, but i hope no one ever trust snb, in a way they let down all their partner in their monetary policy.
