There really is no point in posting details of problems that you have experienced and then not mentioning the broker i.e. the very purpose of this forum topic is to alert people to the possible existence of unscrupulous brokers and practices.

I originally had the name of the company at the beginning of my email, but deleted it upon second thought, siding with caution, as I didn't want to print something that I perceived as being negative experiences (with any company) when in fact what I was experiencing could, for all I know, be the normal environment for all demo accounts on all trading platforms. My reasoning for deleting their name is because, as I already explained, I have been demo trading for only three weeks and the last thing I wanted to do was attach to this company any type of speculation that they practice unsavory business ethics when such an inference made by me could be (would be?) predicated upon MY IGNORANCE of the workings of trading platforms and demo accounts in general and nothing to do with any kind of unsavory practices on their part. So far, it does seem to be my ignorance of the system rather than their unsavory practices as there is already one response to my post which sets forth that although it is uncommon with demo accounts, what I described it can and does happen. Am I happy this is happening to me in my demo account? No, but perhaps it makes it more lifelike? Am I glad I didn't (through my own ignorance) sully this company's reputation by stating their name in my original post? Most definately yes. I don't know but maybe my original post would have been better placed in another thread instead of this one? If so, I apoligize.
