It does seem a common issue that the fine print around "bonus" deposits get traders into grey areas of T&C's. Personnally, I wouldn't trade with a broker promoting such offers because they lead to "bait and switch" scenarios too frequently; plus, if you don't have the momney to trade, you shouldn't be trading, period! Bonus deposits are a ruse to encourage people to overtrade their account.
That being said, this broker seems to be tryiing a new variant of "scam" on their clients; accusing the client of trading an unauthorized hedge from a different IP (in this case, from inside the brokerage)! Now just how absurd is that!!!!
The whole thing begs answers to questions like, who authorized the "hedge" account and how could a client trade from an IP inside the brokerage without prior knowledge? Even if this happened as a result of some sharp witted internet geek hacker, one has to question the security and safety of an account with such a broker!!
I'm voting this one guilty...
