have you ever heard of forex suspended during market hour?

broker cannot claim lack of liquidity in forex market as a reason.

fk. busted my a/c. orders placed, very slow response. tried to cancel order but not working. n suddenly my balance jz went below 0

don't know how many accounts got busted today on CHF pairs.

take a look at daily charts, unbelievable!

I got margin call a few times place another order in opposite to hedge. But too late 
Real account

ICM is good? Will try tat. Not gonna use fxcm again. used to be quite nice. Lately jz getting slower n slower response time

don't f with interest rate announcements, more powerful than NFP.

I did. The response is jz too slow. N the system went hairwired imagine the stop loss is on top of open position for long

definitely humongous slippage that will also kill account cause no broker guarantee SL fill at your stop price.

only during high volatility moment. even hit sl also wont stop. it will continue to move until low volatility. u play demo right? demo will stop when hit sl because not real market.

but some good broker there provide refund. u can try fake live chat with ur broker.

i think there is a calendar you can refer to next time, don't mess with central market decision 
even though this time the market is slower response 

how much is the actual commission charge for ICMarkets? $3.50 per lot for standard account?

Let's all give thanks to SL and BE for saving our accounts on such a shitty market move haha

I not sure, I wasn't in any trades but my friend says his trade hit SL and loss $300.  Could have busted his account he said 

Do you have to pay more?  I thought any losses sustained after your account go bust is passed onto your broker.  Perhaps I'm wrong? 

i think they are safe..   This is what they said..

In the wake of unprecedented market events this morning, OANDA demonstrated its ongoing commitment to doing right by its clients. Despite suffering losses and vanishing liquidity in the institutional hedging market, OANDA remained true to its 14-year legacy of transparency, integrity and fairness to our clients. OANDA did not re-quote or amend any CHF cross client trades. We even took the further step of forgiving all negative client balances that were caused when clients could not close out their positions fast enough*.

Client inquiries are being handled normally and those making withdrawals and deposits are able to do so as normal.

OANDA is proud of its strong reputation for fairness and integrity. We thank our customers for their continued loyalty and welcome new traders who want to experience outstanding service and execution.

That's what I always do but I do my money management with both accounts combined (money in broker + money in local bank account that is kept for trading). Most importantly I don't trade CHF. It was already reaching a boiling point but there were plenty of greedy traders hoping that the swiss bank would go further into negative interest rate (which they did) but did not expect them to let go of the 1.20 ceiling so quickly. Even Dukascopy, their own Swiss forex broker, made an announcement a couple of months back for all traders to be vary of the 1.20 ceiling and the lack of liquidity below it and that anything can happen.. and it did.

Edit:
In Oct they said this "Reduction of maximum leverage on EUR/CHF exposures
Due to the possibility of a break of the 1.2000 floor in EUR/CHF which may see significant price gaps and cause negative equity on client accounts, Dukascopy Europe is forced to implement a maximum leverage for EURCHF exposures of 1:10 as of 12 October 2014.

Traders trading EURCHF are invited to estimate margin usage at the moment the maximum leverage on EUR/CHF will be reduced and adjust their exposure accordingly if needed."
I guess nobody listened. They even tried to help by reducing margin.

Those forex brokers that went bust (and probably more coming up) these few days are now being forcefully+violently+unexpectedly revealed to be market makers after all. LOL

If they are not market makers, they would not meet their fate today.

Most of FXCM’s retail clients lost money in 2014, according to the company’s disclosures mandated by the CFTC. The percentage of losing accounts climbed from 67 percent in the first and second quarters to 68 percent in the third quarter and 70 percent in the fourth quarter.

It seems over 2/3 forex retail clients lost money.

beginners at 95% OR MORE . old burung maybe less after burning a few accts in their early adventures.thats life on a learning curve.accept it.

more or less balance out at 69%. see burung kakak tua can still make profits

FXCM pre-market stock down by 90% 

FXCM market capitalisation at 50-60 million now but face 225 million losses, the biggest of them all may go bust

only real ecn broker will go bankrupt.

If they are ECN/DMA broker, the risk would be on the banks, i.e. the liquidity providers.

Liquidator could appoint local debt collector to go after retail debtors.

Maybe. That's probably why Oanda can forgive customers with negative ac balance.
Still learning.

only real ecn broker will go bankrupt.

Supreme1394 , in forex factory, u are using the example of Alpari, which offers ECN account (or aka Pro account) and normal account. Their ECN account has made too much negative to Alpari that causes Alpari in trouble and then causes normal account holders in trouble too.

Which means a "chain reaction" has happened and then affected those innocent accounts.  Am I get it correctly ?   

By applying the same story, fxprimus has offered ECN premier accounts too (but not sure is that a true ECN) .
