Just woke up so see that my AUDUSD short had been squeeze out at the spikey top. I use FXCM broker. I notice that the spike is much higher at FXCM than in other broker platform. Anyone else experience the same spiky top in other broker? What is the highest price at your broker platform? {image}
FF shows daily high 0.7753, but in my HF account 0.7758, Seems Market Makers hunting retail sellers to go south.
Failure is not failure if you learn from it...

Yes, if 0.7753 it should be lower than the previous swing high.
I had complained to them. FXCM said they will look into it and contact me within 3-5 business days.
I wonder what took them so long.
Not having high hope on them though.
Take my view with a pinch of salt!

{quote} Same thing happened to me on a EURGBP pending order i had out at the time of the rate cut. Literally grabbed my position to the pip and spiked back down and nailed my stop to the pip. Neither the 1,5 or 15M candles show even a spike in either direction and I compared it to tradingview, the web based trade station, the mobile trade station, MT4, the mobile MT4 and my Oanda acct. I took pictures and got them on the phone to talk shit. Opened a claim. I know they wont do shit about it but im already hunting for a new broker. Might just go back...
Too bad you had the same experience. I also opened a claim.
The rate cut was last Thursday right? So if within 3-5 business day, you should received their reply on the matter within today.
Any reply yet?

Buy @ 7704, will add at 7690 if it goes down. Target 7720. The consolidation looks almost done, but probably will have a bit of work to do to get past 7720 since resistance is building up around there.

I just opened this thread and went back two pages and read about everyone getting screwed on the spikes. It seems to be too much for coincidence. I was holding a AUD/CAD short. I was surprised to find it missing from my holdings tonight. I checked account transactions (I'm with IG) and found I was closed out at 1.01334. So I checked chart. It shows peak ask price was 1.01334........So I was closed out to the hundred thousandth of a point Dead on Exactly what these thieves show was the highest point of the spike. The low of the half hour candle was 1.0057. So roughly 130 pip candle, and they manage to stick it to me on a hundred thousandth....what are the odds of that? 13,000,000 to one? And I made sure all other Aussie and Kiwi trades were closed before the news, because I hate news spikes because this shit has happened to me B4. Only kept this one open because I was carrying a large loss which I thought would turn around, so had wide stop,

{quote} Problem is im in the US so my options are slim. Id love to go to Saxo or perhaps even Pepperstone or some other Aussie joint but no one will touch me thanks to Obama. Im too afraid to go offshore with anything and risk having the shop close up or have the irs on my ass because they think im hiding money.
Join the dark side, raiders. Been offshore for 3 years. ECN environment, low spreads, great execution, no frozen platforms, no random price spikes. Withdrawals take 3 days to hit my bank. Not regulated, but in my opinion, this regulation is way over-hyped. Here we have the toughest regulations in the world and the scammiest brokers. Funds aren't protected. No benefit to the trader whatsoever. I feeel less at risk offshore because only about 20% of my forex capital sits at the broker, the rest sits in my bank. To trade a standard lot of GBPJPY requires $400, in the US I have to fork over $4,000 to the broker for margin!!! As far as IRS, report profits as normal and over $10,000 account they need to know it exists. That's all.

I think FXCM will give me back my money although they do not admit on the spike error.
So happy I got back my money.

That's great news man!

I'll do the same with FXpro, I'm very suspicous about what happened to me.
