    Discuss is for general discussions of a financial company or issues related to companies.

    Info is for things like "Has anyone heard of Company X?" or "Is Company X legit or not?"

    Compare is for things like "Which of these 2 (or more) companies is best?"

    Searching is for things like "Help me pick a broker" or "What's the best VPS out there for trading?"

    Problem is for reporting an issue with a company. Please don't just scream "CompanyX is a scam!" It is much more useful to say "I can't withdraw my money from Company X" or "Company Y is not honoring their refund guarantee" in the subject line.
    Keep Problem discussions civil and lay out the facts of your case. Your goal should be to get your problem resolved or reported to the regulators, not to see how many insults you can put into the thread.

Has anyone noticed the freeze out tactics used by some brokers on mt4 that stops you entering positions during important news releases anyone have a sollution.
 
Never experienced it. Which broker do you use? I have been with HotForex for over two months and never experienced such problem.

I was with Iron FX at the time but its not the only broker I have witnessed this on and it happened at the time when important news was being released. If you use Fngun on this site for trading spikes which I have most recently frozen out of ctrader platform with error messages coming in from platform run by FX PRo and this was a demo.

If you think about this how honest is a broker that makes you place pending orders 50 pips from current price if you are using any type of straddle tactic it would render it useless straight off.

I am happy you have a good broker and are happy with the service I won't be trading live for a while but when I do you can bet that I will be having many direct chats before going live again.
I take the blame for lack of research and hopefully lesson learned.
 
I wish you the best of luck for your venture in forex trading. Research is the the number 1 best thing one can do to be profitable and successful in forex, otherwise the market will turn against you in a blink of an eye.
 
I just saw this while looking for solutions to this exact problem. But since it's only happening on my FXCM MT4 platform, (and the acct Msgr. Actually told me it would go away once I go live with them), I've decided on a different broker who doesn't seem to have these problems...
I may try the FNGun since I DO trade news events-although I don't usually use any type of EA or automation..,
 
I also noticed that many brokers do not allow to enter into a order in all the news, or perform already at the new prices by 30-50 pips different from the request price
 
This is definitely not a good a sign, you need to reconsider your broker and maybe switch to the different one. This is how somebody plays unfair game. Also it makes sense to check with your existing broker; maybe this is some kind of scam software which prevents from making order.
