' Forex.com robbed my account, took all profits $19276.33 and left losses on 15 Oct '

I am submitting the case against: www.Forex.com
My Case is: I am a day trader. I have a major account with forex.com with around $204k. I trade with forex.com for over one year. over all is profiting but not very much and not that consistent. total profit is around $50000. On oct 15, 2014, I made about$11000. However, the next day I found my account is disabled. I decide to withdraw my fund and email my customer manager for inquiry what happens. The customer manager just say he is sorry about that and the financial department is processing my fund withdrawal. I decide to withdraw my fund because I ever have the experience that my other account with forex.com was ever disabled (they usually disable accounts once you make consistent profits for several months) before but all fund and profit were returned. I open an new account with forex.com because their IB urge me to open an account with them again for account interest and spread discount. There was no problem during the last whole year. However, all of sudden, they disable my account and told me all my positive trade that day is forfeited (totally positive trade $19276.33) leave an ' Admin Trd Adj -19276.33' in my account that means only my negative trade that day (around $8000) was left. Please note in forex.com website, they allow all tradings including EA . I don't understand what makes them forfeit my profitable trades and leave only negative trades in my account If their server got wrong, how come retail trader should be punished and how come they can do like this. That is totally scam and unacceptable. I declare I just traded by my strategy. I have been trade with the strategy (trade with pyramid for trend bounce back) for over 4 years. I don't know what happens to their server/platform. My strategy is based on the indicators and timeframes. No matter their server got wrong, I will execute the trades based on my strategy and sure will make profits on that day. It is totally nonsense they say because I make use of their server problem and then took all my profits and left all negatives. Their logic is: If their server got problem and you lose, you have to accept it. but if you make profit, you have to be punished. They can't lose anyway. that's it.

I have 4 argues:

1. My trades are based on 1min/5min mainly trend bounce back with small pip 5-30 pips take profit . you can check my trading records atwww.myfxbook.com/members/yunben
and check the duration. There are many many trades closed less than 1min. The trades on Oct 15, 2014 are consistent with my strategy and trading style.


2. I ever heard price latency. normally a forex company latency is less than 1 second and even lower. My trades is short but still longer than 25 seconds to several minutes. How do they determine all my profiting trades are invalid and loss trades valid?
Forex.com needs to make a report what's wrong with their server. start time and end time, how long is the price latency. Forex.com claim during the price latency they will trade with traders. they should not make profit based on price latency. This means they should cancel all trades during the price latency not just my profiting trades only. In facts, they make profits by taking fund from my account.

3. If their server got wrong, they should make an open announcement to all their clients and public, cancel all lose and win trade of their clients not me alone. So far I didn't see any public announcement that they claim their server got wrong on that day.I am wondering whether forex.com just give an excuse and take fund from my account because I make profits.

4. Let us know whether the institution traders have this price latency too. I am wondering whether forex.com make use of this latency to make money on retail traders. at a huge price movement time, Forex.com decide to trade against its customers without risk by this kind of latency, it knows what to trade with its clients. if the latency is as low as 1 minutes or less. Only super short term traders that have multi-account knows what happens. Then for those who make profits, forex.com will claim they make use of the latency and easily take away their fund. They all make money on retail traders by this scam.

Not sure, but I think you can contact a regulator.

In UK accounts are insured up to $80k, if you have a claim contact the regulators....

And read those documents they want you to sign before you can withdraw the remainder of your funds. Very likely you admit wrong doing or something once you sign those.

This is clearly case for regulator to solve. They accepted your orders for prices which their platform/servers offered at that time, which is binding. The latency between their servers and liquidity providers to hedge your positions (if they do?) is the risk connected with their business and they should be taken into account when calculating their commissions for your trading to minimize such risks. If there was no bug intentionally exploited from your side, post trade manipulation of such kind is absolutely unacceptable and should be avoided by reputable brokers at all times.

Absolutely. Regulator time all the way.

Hope this Helps!!!

please choose well reputed broker next time 😎

Thanks, I have withdrawn the remaining fund. The case now is reviewed by FOS.
Forex.com said they adjusted the trade profit/loss by raw bank data and now profit become $-19276.33.
I don't accept the way. It means they traded against me. They punished me while this is due to their server failure problem.
here is the email from forex.com.

Let us know how it works out, be interesting to see.

Sadly most of the overseeing bodies are either token or corrupt. I don't have much faith in western regulators.

If you don't have faith in western regulators who you trust then? Cyprus?

There is no one you can trust. Those regulators are in deep pockets with the fx firms. Trust me.

considering the 268 lots you traded on oct 15, 2014 - https://www.myfxbook.com/members/yunben/11112780/708787
I would have to say that your trading system was arbitrage. I've seen this happen at Alpari on Forex Factory a while back . same dispute but the broker always wins because they include trading clauses that we agree to when opening an account.



Forex.com has been known to cheat traders. - https://www.nfa.futures.org/news/newsRel.asp?ArticleID=3676

https://www.nfa.futures.org/basicnet/CaseInfo.aspx?entityid=0339826&type=reg

Actually, you may have a great HFT system that is legit after looking at your lmax account - https://www.myfxbook.com/members/yunben/lmaxuk/968681

Best to use it there or with FIX api at other institutional Liquidity firms.

Good luck with your HFT :-)

@jamie78john

No, you don't trust anyone. Probably the best regulators are in Australia. Those brokers I give preference, shortly followed by Singapore.

UK and USA are a joke. You just have to see how the banks behave. HSBC had special boxes made for the drug cartels to make it easy to deposit their cash in Mexico. Then they get bust and the fine is like a few weeks revenue. Clearly that system is corrupt to its core. And I suspect quite close to collapse.

Gold is being openly manipulated, probably with the US governments blessing who is still trying to get Germany's gold back. Fx is also a free for all. https://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/3f60230a-4562-11e4-9b71-00144feabdc0.html#axzz3IYVkcCuJ

And again there's no talk of criminal cases, just fines. Small ones compared to the gains these people made.

Historically when markets have reached this level of corruption the money simply leaves. NYSE has lost about 90% of its volume and the little bit they do have is just the HFT firms battling it out against each other. Granted some of it's competition, but clearly there is something structurally wrong with the markets.

So you need to spread your risk over a few brokers and use leverage to minimise counter party risk. And it goes without saying you will be taken to the cleaners a few times before it becomes apparent who can be trusted.

There are a few which I tend to like.... but not in the U.S. A broker that has its base somewhere but a local UK branch and in most of the major countries (like Germany, Italy, France, etc) in Europe would be my bet.

I checked their US version customer agreement. It seems they dare not take a penny from its clients pocket (say, realized profit/loss).
but in UK version, they have a lot of terms that allow them to adjust trades after the market. They forbid scalping or price latency which never appears in US version. This all because they trade against you. You win means they lose.

Stay away from Forex.com




Hi, guys:

I found forex.com have different terms in customer agreements in their UK/US version.
According to their UK agreement, they can do anything to your account in their discretion.
I have to say, they very very likely do this deliberately to its retail clients . They can easily delete your profit by their UK agreements. but they can't change customers realized profits/losses in US agreement.


the following terms are not included in US version:
https://secure.efxnow.com/NEWOLS_GCU...8_20140707.pdf

28.4 Access to the Trading Systems is provided “as is”. Gain Capital UK makes no warranties
(express or implied), representations, or guarantees as to merchantability, fitness for any
particular purpose or otherwise with respect to the Trading Systems, their content, any
documentation or any hardware or software provided by Gain Capital UK. Technical
difficulties could be encountered in connection with the Trading Systems. These difficulties
could involve, among others, failures, delays, malfunction, software erosion or hardware
damage, which difficulties could be the result of hardware, software or communication link
inadequacies or other causes. Such difficulties could lead to possible economic and/or data
loss. In no event will Gain Capital UK or its affiliates or any of their employees be liable for
any possible loss (including loss of profit or revenue whether direct or indirect), cost or
damage including, without limitation, consequential, unforeseeable or special damages or
expense which might occur as a result of or arising out of using, accessing, installing,
maintaining, modifying, deactivating or attempting to access the Trading Systems or
otherwise. Gain Capital UK further reserves the right, in its reasonable discretion to unwind
an executed Transaction or adjust the price of executed Transactions (including Transactions
that have been confirmed or settled) to a fair market price if the Transaction was mispriced
because of technical difficulties with the Trading Systems.

28.5 Internet, connectivity delays, and price feed errors sometimes create a situation where the
price displayed on the Trading Systems do not accurately reflect the market rates. The
concept of arbitrage and “scalping”, or taking advantage of these internet delays, cannot exist
in an over-the-counter market where the client is buying or selling directly from the market
maker. Gain Capital UK does not permit the practice of arbitrage on the Trading Systems.
Transactions that rely on price latency arbitrage opportunities may be revoked. Gain Capital
UK reserves the right to make the necessary corrections or adjustments on the Account
involved. Accounts that rely on arbitrage strategies may at Gain Capital UK’s sole discretion
be subject to Gain Capital UK’s intervention and Gain Capital UK’s approval of any Orders.

28.6 Gain Capital UK shall have no obligation to contact you to advise upon appropriate action
when there are changes in market conditions.

ultimately reflected on the Customer Statements. This may or may not adversely affect customer realized and unrealized gains and losses.

Forex.com at least shows two features of scam in 'You'll be banned for winning too much' and 'Skewing quotation of prices'

Ways in which you can be defrauded:
Stop Hunting/Running That's Immoral: Forex brokers always advice on proof-less fact that you will hardly face any stop running in this market. This fabrication is the boldest and biggest claim of them. In fact the truth of the matter is that there exists much more forex stop running than there is in futures. The stop running in this market is possibly the same as in the equity markets.
Suspicious spike: Sometimes, on the chart of a broker, there's very fast increase in candlestick when there's nothing taking place on another's chart. Indicator like stop-loss is prompted mainly to give indication of that dubious spike.
You'll be banned for winning too much: You must have heard that winning frequently in forex can cause you to be banned. Win too much and be barred in Forex, you may ask yourself. But it's true.
Leaning: Brokers claim they charge you a three-pip layout when trading the well-known pair of currencies. But the pips they are making may run into double digit figures, for example 10 or even more. He skews the price to do this. As you are not conducting your trading at an exchange, your broker can proffer you any price he wishes to.
Skewing quotation of prices: Commonly, brokers in the forex market lean prices. The broker is capable of just giving you the currency price as quoted by the bank he uses to trade. Different banks have different currency pricing structures. You will never get to know what the true real price is, in the absence of a central exchange where all prices flow through.

It would have been a lot better if you had traded your money in an ECN account! They would have no restriction on price arbitrage method used by yourself.

Doing that at a market maker account is sure to invite trouble. Just open an ECN account and there will be no problems!
