hehe
Actually mate they prefer the trader who would blow $5000 in a week
because, truth be told, there are so many of them and the turn over is ridiculous,
why do you think Trading scams exist
why do think Bucket shops exist
but, you are right on one point
LOGICALLY, it would make sense to have your client winning.
but, you see, the thing is, THEY KNOW YOU THINK THAT WAY ABOUT THEM,
that’s why they do what they do, because, they know YOU WILL NEVER SUSPECT THAT THEY REALLY TRULY DO STUFF YOU OVER
but, it is a fact mate
i personally video my trades
and… i have video evidence of the following
i place a trade to go Long,
after a few seconds, it closes
(now… at this point, you could argue,… but martin, you had indicators on the chart)
no no no… Not even a support a line was drawn… Absolutely nothing but the chart and profile settings
so the trade closes on it’s own
now. IN THE TRADE HISTORY, YOU WOULD EXPECT TO SEE A LOSS… right ?
but…
the trade DOES NOT EXIST IN THE HISTORY
and here’s the kicker
what’s more is
after they closed the Long trade
a SHORT TRADE opened immediately
and… Ever so Coincidentally hehe (as if) it had the IDENTICAL ENTRY PRICE
and… can you guess which way the trade went ? hehe
that’s right
it shot up
and … the short trade showed up in the history as a loss
when i called the broker and quoted the trade number,
they said it didn’t exist
i then mentioned (around 20mins later) that i video record my sessions
and… AS IF BY MAGIC
they found that trade number
and Low and behold , it was returned to my trading history
NOW HERE’S THE OTHER FUNNY THING
that trade now showed up as a profit
but, THAT SHORT TRADE, is nowhere to be found in the history
now… if that’s not manipulation, tell me what is ?
so. does the broker take the other side
does the broker do dishonest stuff
yes they bloody do
i’m with a new broker now, though
this broker still is better
but still from time to time they try and get cheeky
but i find, if you let them know you know what they are doing,
they generally back off and let you trade without BS
otherwise, they’ll try every trick in the book to get your money
