@Fariwar....just typical broker's salesman lack of training in PR, arrogant attitude, and frustrated in working for a quickly deteriorating company like ICMarkets.
They keep that up and these broker's salesmen will bring the company down to go the same way as the other has-been brokers.
We are the Traders with the money to pay their salaries and commissions and we do not need to trade with a bad broker as there are hundreds of other much better brokers out there to chose from.

You seem to be an expert on STP/ECN brokers for a demo trader.

Well, don't be that happy because if they did it once they will do it again. And there are a lot of ways that brokers can manipulate their client's trading account on MT4 platform. If they get caught, they will blame that on something or someone and, to keep you happy and from posting bad reviews on them, reimburse your losses.
My advice is to look for a new broker and withdraw your money while you still have them in your account.

I have been with this broker....at least 3 different live accounts ranging from a few hundred AUD to almost AUD90k....for over a year.
At first I was really pleased and happy with this broker and even defended them in various forums when I read some negative reviews on them.
Even with all these many total stop-outs (at least six of them with this broker and many more with more than ten different brokers in the more than 4 years trading the forex market), I have never once made an issue or complaint on any of my account stop-out because I either saw that coming with margin-call warning or I was not monitoring my account(s) when the total stop-out occurred.
However, the latest account (relatively small just over AUD5k) total stop-out with ICMarkets was very, very strange and unusual in that, one moment I was monitoring the account which was hedged in one single currency pairs (USD/CAD) with over 450% margin level, but all of a sudden and without any margin-call warning followed by forced closures of highest losing positions, the account was totally wiped out and left with a negative -AUD30.27 balance. I was totally shocked.
After a couple weeks back & forth emails exchanges with their Support (three different persons) all explaining to me why account stop-out happen (as if I don't know after these numerous stop-out experiences), and possibility of market volatility or widening f spreads due to low market volume (none was happening on both), they simply could not explain why the account stop-out happened the way it did. Finally, they simply informed that they have exhausted all their explanations and left the matter hanging.
As I have already mentioned, I was once a very happy and satisfied client of ICMarkets and I thought all those very similar negative issues that some of their other clients have been posting would never happened to me because, as one of their owner emailed me a long time ago, ICMarkets & I understand each other.
Well, from being a well satisfied and happy client, I am now a very Unhappy & dissatisfied client.

It is very reassuring to know that IC Markets are making best efforts to help out their clients. I also recently read that IC Markets has decided to Cover for the Client Negative Losses from Swiss Franc Volatility. Please find the official Press release announcement made by IC Markets here: http://forexmagnates.com/ic-markets-covering-90-client-negative-losses-swiss-franc-volatility/

I had a desire to work with them but then it disappeared. Thanks for the warning.

Fairwar the pirces are not fictional this shows how much you know about OTC derivatives & liquidity pools. In the SNB debacle as you may wish to call it the quoted prices on MT4 where stale meaning the prices showing on MT4 where not reflecting where the market really was as NO one in his right mind would even give you a quote and if they did moist probably it would have been 10% if not more between the bid and ask
You simply cant smear someones reputation simply because you are still wet behind the ears on how liquidity pools works especially for an STP?ECN broker like IC markets. The brokers you quoted in your essay above are classified as market makers & NOT STP/ECN brokers so they can adjust whatever they want cause they run their own book.
I have no relation to IC Markets or any other broker. From all the brokers I used in my 30 years of trading Forex the execution, spreads & customer service is excellent & the best I have ever seen so far.
I truly suggest that you stick with market makers to enjoy the bonuses, competitions & adjustments as most probably you will end up losing your money to them while you think you are being given a great service

Fortunately on this week ICMarkets making a sense on my claims ( ant on claims of another clients as well ) . I get adjusted NZDCHF to close price at 0.6700 and USDCHF on 0.91163. That is caused me to get back my ~65% of deposit which is reasonable and fair.
From now i have no any claims to ICMarkets.
Thanks.

I had $10,000 on my account during SNB news. I had opened 2 NZDCHF and 1 USDCHF and plus some small positions. During SNB news ICMarkets sent horrible unbelievable quotes like a 0.06050 on USDCHF which is causing my account to stop-out. During positions were closed i have $103,7 margin used. After stop out i have left $240 on my account.
After i get "adjustment" they thrown me $1884 like a for dog and they said it is final decision. I do not have to explain when i have $1884+$240 equity and while $103,7 margin used it is very far away from margin call and stop out.
They decide to not reinstate positions. They decide do not compensate more. I lost 85% of account while RIGHT prices was on 50% ( ~$5000 ) of my account.
Also i have another 2 accounts which is not get margin called or stop outed. I have there only 1 USDCHF and even with that weird misquote imy account was alive. After SNB news i was in shock and quickly closed that positions on both accounts. After that ICMarkets adjusted my closings, because i closed my positions ON WRONG PRICES, they adjusted 2 of my accounts and deposited some money.
But here is the shame they suddenly removed adjustment from these 2 accouns ! I have a daily statements where i can see adjustments, but on platform it is erased already and no money was refunded at all !

Overall
i have been trading on a strandard account with ICMarkets i find spread tight ,also i havent faced any troubles with the platform which enables scalping and EA .. and i think that withdrawal request processing is one of the fast as long as you make the request before 13:00 (GMt) Respectable Broker

The Question is do you have 5 clients who have funded at least 200 USD like mentioned in their policy?
Overall
i'd Like to continue Discuss IC MARKETS SCAMM AVOID
Overall Score: 2.9 / 5
Today IC MARKET opened Second Agent (IB) account (i already have 1 Agent account with invited about 10 Users all more than 200$ and bigger funds) and they banned First Account = i cannot transfer from First Agent Accont Funds. I mailed Support - they say that next:
"Your agent accounts ***** and **** have been blocked to transfer as you haven't met the IB funds transfer and withdrawal requirement. For the internal policy, all agent accounts, they are only able to transfer / withdraw funds when they have introduced at least 5 clients and each client has funded at least USD 200. You haven't met the requirement. Once you meet the mentioned requirement, your agent accounts will be unblocked transfer"
