Prices reversed quickly after that. Highly suspicious. Not sure whether to file a complaint since my account is only about $100 each time and not sure whether the authorities can do anything about it. Not forgetting the stop loss orders that got hit and quickly reversed course as well ( though I tried to dismiss that as normal market movement initially, I'm not so sure now  . )
I am convinced now to put my money elsewhere ( likely to be Oanda ). Beware of FXCM when you put stop loss orders or if you have open positions when your account balance is near your margin limit.  |
Could you tell us details about the trades? Like the entry, stoploss, time it happened, etc? Or post a picture, that would be better!
Then we can check our charts and maybe help you out.
