Earlier today, my trade was stopped out at a price that NEVER even existed on the chart. I checked different timeframes, and there was no candle or wick that reached my stop-loss level, yet somehow, my trade got closed. This is a clear sign of artificial price movements, which is unacceptable for a broker claiming to offer fair execution. On top of that, I had set my risk to $1.5, but when my trade was stopped out, I was charged a $2.3 loss instead. That’s almost 50% more than what I expected. Either they widened the spread at execution, or they’re manipulating trade outcomes in their favor. Either way, it’s shady.
