Thanks to `` the main fighter for the happiness of the oppressed peoples in the markets '', found out, that a certain firm has filed a class action lawsuit against well-known forex firms like Gain,FXDD,FXCM, accusing them mainly of software manipulation, which kind of counteracted client providers.
This is very , i would say, critical moment, because not only forex firms are at stake , but also Metatrader since. that it has functionality, allowing offices " play" from every kind " gizmos like placing orders and so on.
Understandably, that all companies will protect themselves, but if they prove, then the losses can be as follows, that you will have to close them all. Truth, it is worth noting, that FXCM has its own NDD( without dealer) program and will fight back, Considering, that they have a lot of money, but the Metatrader will not be very good, if they prove the guilt of the companies, this is still subject to, that they do not have their own programmatic ways to manipulate. But on the other hand,, is it really necessary to risk companies with such capital, manipulating something. !!!!!
Although this is still not documented and will most likely be a lump sum settlement.
a. Slow Server Command: When a customer is engaged in profitable trading activity, Defendant routes the customer’s account to a “slow server,” causing trade execution to be slowed down, and allowing Defendant the time to hijack any potential profit in the trade by buying and selling in-between the customer’s order and the real market, with Defendant’s taking any profit and leaving the customer victimized with no money for his or her effort;
b. False “Error” Messages: Defendant uses its administrative back-end software to prevent the customer from closing out a profitable trade and instead causes the trading system to generate any one of a series of “error” messages to the customer, blocking the customer’s efforts to finalize what would have been a profitable order;
c. Flash Trades: Defendant, in a practice known as “stop hunting,” manipulates the market price of the traded currency, including printing bogus “flash trades” which move the “market” to trigger the customer’s stop order for a given trade, essentially closing the customer out of that trade;
d. Arbitrary Margin Rules: Defendant arbitrarily changes the margin rules on Fridays for an ensuing week without any notice to the customer, which results in the customer’s being deprived of any trading advantages or leverage opportunities they may have, and again causing the customer’s account to be closed out in favor of Defendant;
e. Abuse of “Slippage”: Defendant, in a practice known as “slipping a trade,” takes advantage of “slippage” in a given trade. “Slippage” is the change in price between the time when a price is quoted and a market order is placed. It is customarily caused by market movement while the trade is being executed. The incidence of “slippage” should roughly be equal in favor of the customer and the broker. Defying all laws of probability, in almost every case, Defendant’s customers suffer losses as a result of “slippage” at grossly greater percentages than Defendant does, which can only be explained by Defendant’s manipulation of pricing; and
“Slow Fill” and “No Fill” Commands: Defendant often fails to execute valid and profitable trade orders entered by the customer and instead causes the trading system to generate a “slow fill” or “no fill” message to the customer as the customer attempts to close out a profitable trade, preventing the customer from making a profit while generating illicit profits for Defendant.
