Tricks Forex Brokers Play



As a trader and an Introducing Broker for ironfx.com, I will be honest with my readers and let them know that most brokers are not always honest in their dealings with client’s funds. Just as we live in an imperfect world so does the trading world operates imperfectly. A lot of forex brokers are scammers; you execute an order and see something different from what you expect.


Today I will be discussing the different tricks forex brokers play:
(      SPREAD:  
As we all know the spread is the difference between the buy and sell price of any given currency pair and this is one of the ways forex brokers make their money. Many brokers claim they offer the lowest spread in the market because they know lower spread save traders money, but in some cases brokers overcharge in their spread values, even over charging during news release by 20-30 pips. Charges in spread values atimes are not noticed when traders are trading.
(       REQUOTE:
This is a process whereby your broker is not able or willing to give you a trade based upon the price you entered, which is a normal thing with every broker. This happens in a fast moving market, mostly during news release. But most brokers take advantage of this and deliberately delay your execution mostly when you try to close a position manually. In this case I would advice one set his/her limit orders as not to fall a victim of this scam.
PLATFORM FREEZES:
Some brokers freeze their platform mostly during news release preventing traders from participating in profitable trading or from closing out profitable trades.
(      DELAY/NON-PAYMENT OF FUNDS:
 Most brokers delay in making payment of funds to their clients bank account after a client has applied for a withdrawal of his/her money from their forex account , so as to tempt the client to trade more and probably lose his/her money. In some cases brokers give funny excuses when it comes to payment of client’s trading profit.
