I remember when I first started with FXCM The platform would go down every other day.....positions would disappear.......quotes freeze...etc.... But none of that now I think that in the beginning of every account, they try to kill you ASAP BUT If you are able to survive, they chill out and put you in their "leave this account be" group of traders where their machine does nothing crazy Ever since I have been pretty good..... Addition: I think their machine picks up over=leveraged positions and then the bid/ask starts going hyper-crazy rabid to stop-hunt or in the case of no stop limits, at least freak out the trader so that he manually closes out good positions due to fear
Actually, I just realized how smart IBFX is.... Their platform limits you to <100 pip profits when you are with the current trend and vice versa The whole level 3,5,10,15,20 thing locks you in so that you ARE NOT ALLOWED to modify limit orders according to what you want.... Gosh....I really hope these guys are out of business soooon
Another retarded feature: ****Auto log-in to the trading platform!**** Are you insane! These guys are so fucking retarded!! LoL I took my $80 profit from the free $50 account today and am closing the account........
