Brokers manipulating operations

[2016]

Hello everyone, I think this is a fairly important issue.But it is always difficult to know if brokers are manipulating operations.What are the first signs that a broker is doing this?Share your experiences!

If you can't realize, do you really matter?

[2016]

Yes it matters, because it means that the broker is interested in losing your operations.

I agree that most brokers do not send all operations to the interbank market.I know from my own experience.I opened an account with a broker and, at times of low liquidity, my operations did not move the price at all.For me, this is a clear sign that they are manipulating operations.It doesn't matter if you operate with 0.10 lots or 10, there is an impact when you close a position at certain times.But if you are operating with more than 50 lots and the price does not move at all, something does not fit.Brokers who claim to cover all positions but do not really be denounced before regulators.

Something even more suspicious happened to me with a broker.He had a short operation in GBP/USD before FOMC with an adjusted stop.I entered 1,5980 with a stop at 1,5990.When the news of "No Tapering" arrived, the price rose up to 1,6025 in seconds, but interestingly my stop was executed exactly in 1,5990 without going through any other level.They were clearly manipulating the Stops.

Exact.That is why traders need a real eCN broker.In an ECN, your order is sent directly to the interbank market without grouping it with other orders.A legitimate broker should send 100% of the orders to other liquidity suppliers instead of being those who "provide" liquidity.

[2016]

Totally agree.But the problem is that even the STP brokers that claim to be "Direct Market Access" do not always send all orders to the interbank.I have operated with one of these brokers and, when executing large orders, the Stops were activated in the exact PIP.When I asked them why my stop was activated at the exact level when the price rose 50 more pips, your answer was: "Isn't our liquidity incredible?"But what they should really have said is: "Are we not experts in retaining your operations internally?"Regulators should do their job and get these brokers from the market that continue to destroy the industry.

Whenever a broker talks about "deep liquidity," I wonder what it really means.Banks are not liquidity suppliers in the strict sense, they are flow suppliers.They process orders from their customers and balance them with the demand.When a broker says he has "good liquidity", many times it only means that it is good manipulating prices for their own benefit.

[2016]

The saddest thing about all this is that there are traders who do not even know that their broker is manipulating its operations.They only believe they had bad luck or that the market "went crazy."Until they understand how the structure of the market works, they will continue to be victims of these abusive practices.

If your broker offers you "ultra -grape execution", without reconstruction and with fixed spreads, you are probably cheating you.No real broker can offer these conditions without taking the other part of the operation.

[Sesrru01]

There is a simple way to know if a broker is manipulating prices: opens an operation at a time of low liquidity and looks if the market moves.If you do not, you are on a manipulated platform.

[2016]

It doesn't matter if you are Scalper or Swing Trader, if your broker manipulates prices, you are at a disadvantage from the beginning.Find a regulated broker, with good reputation and really send the orders to the market.Do not be fooled by ridiculously low bond offers.

A friend of mine worked in a broker and told me that they had algorithms designed to execute customer stops just before a great market movement.So if you think your "casually" broker always touches your stop before the price moves in your address, you know why.

[NukaSessdj]

Another broker trick is the selective slippage.If the price moves in your favor, they give you the worst possible execution.If you go against you, they make sure you execute it at the worst price for you.That is why it is key to operate with a broker that has transparent execution and without conflicts of interest.

[2016]

If a STP or ECN type broker never has slippage in your favor, but you always have it against you, you have a problem.The real market is volatile and the slippage is normal, but if it always affects you negatively, then your broker is playing against you.

[yessCun352]

If your broker offers you a fixed spread at high volatility schedules, it is because it is controlling the price.In the real market, the spreads expand when there is news.If your broker does not, it is because it is not executing orders in the interbank market.

[Todradv81]

For those who still doubt: a real broker earns money with commissions and spreads, not with your losses.If a broker needs you to lose to earn money, flee from there.

[2016]

Conclusion: If your broker always benefits from your losses, you are not operating in the market.You are betting on a casino where the house always wins.Investigate well before choosing where to deposit your money.There are many brokers disguised scams.

Signs of broker manipulation include frequent slippage, unexplained spread widening, platform freezing during volatility, delayed order execution, and stop-hunting. Choosing a regulated broker with transparent policies helps avoid such issues. Share your experiences!
