I agree. In order to move the market by such magnitude you need to have some ridiculous limits or immense co-ordination between parties. There is no way that a single person/algo/trader was responsible for this.

Why are people here surprised that they were wiped out when they run 100:1 leverage? A 20:1 leverage account would have been wiped out last night. Agree with the above poster, just scale back your leverage guys.

Any platform that didn't 'freeze' was because they chose not to halt the market, as this is what you would expect. As for the crooks that froze the relevant ccy pairs, they are a bunch of crooks, but what sort of action you can take against them is ...

So many people asleep now will wake up and find out they have been wiped out by this. Feel sorry for them, but I can see this going to near parity in the near future. Whatever happens in the world, the $$$ will always be/stay the safe haven and the ...

Job Growth Was Fantastic Last Month. So Why Arent Wages Rising More?

Things like this don't happen often. They are 1 in 10-20 years. Usually when there is normal liquidity, you will get a margin call at an appropriate level and as a last resort will have your trades cut by your broker, and still maintain a positive ...

There is no such thing as a guaranteed SL unless the provider that offers it takes all the down risk by providing such functionality. The only true guaranteed SL in this scenario is a hedge on the options market, in this case buying put options at ...
Alpari (UK) Important announcement - entered into insolvency

The LPs that were quoting 1000 pip wide markets. All the LPs that had buy orders for EURCHF at around 0.75-0.80 level made a killing.

- majkara commented Jan 16, 2015
The clients lost a lot of money as many were long EURCHF, following the path of the SNB peg. Once the peg was removed, it pretty much turned all those positions into instant losers. There were a lot more people that were long EURCHF than those who ...

Also, on most platforms a SL is just a market order, which means no bottom or price protection. How many retail guys knew this? Most likely not many due to the fact that in the past they had their SLs executed and filled at their SL price, but this ...

Because fx cash is an unregulated market and they can do whatever the hell they want to. Some trades today were being cancelled/re=priced many hours after the news (some cases 5-6 hours). You may ask why and how can this happen. It can because there ...

I do not have the volume but I do know that 6S was halted 10 times (velocity logic) in the space of about 5-10 minutes or so. You will be able to get the time/sales from CME's website the next business day which should be a nice read. What I was ...
