    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.

Dear All,
i've been trading with Pepperstone for some time. On January 15 i was on the right side on CHF move and made a gain of more than 30k.
During this day, after closing all my positions, i requested a withdrawal. By the end of the day, as usual, i received the email confirmation of all the trading activity of the day. (note this point is important).
The day after (January 16) i received an email saying funds were not enough to make the withdrawal, i checked my account and all the trades on CHF were nullified. (i've the statement saved)

After that we had some mail exchange with pepperstone and here is the summary

1. They told me i was using an EA which calculate price difference between price feeds.
2. I had the same activity also weeks before (some losing week) and they TOLD ME NOTHING
3. I replied telling to prove me how i've profited illegally from price movements
4. SAME REPLY from them, you were using an EA to profit from price difference.

After that i've asked to be contacted by phone, and NO REPLY

Of course i've synthetized for your convenience but i can post FULL mai exchange and also statements.
 
We do hope that they would state their arguments not only for this case but as a whole because there are clients who have lost from their trades and clients who have generated immense profit. I am sure that this is not the only case.
The good broker will always be with you and explain the situation as it is. Buckets hide behind thousands of excuses, sometimes even irrational.

They are a regulated broker, so, if that was their excuse, contact their regulator and quote their answer. Ask for help and advice.

Of course already filed a case with Australian Regulator.

Hope some sergent here can also tell something. :)
 
they pretend to be ECN so in theory they shouldn't care about trading style, never saw Pepperstone here, seems things are really bad with them after CHF accident ... welcome in club Pepperstone !

Totale agree.... And also when CHF accident occured in their site they stated "business as usual"... Now i know the meaning...

Are you scammed by them also?
 
Were the trades opened before or after the SNB pulled the rug out from under the EURCHF?
 
At that SNB or another time does not matter, pepperstone system had processed the client execution for trades because their liquidity providers had price feed from top to all the way down, and when pepperstone claim to be ECN broker that includes your trades free to market access.

Although pepperstone behaved better than other scam brokers who said no liquidity as an excuse, they can not cancel your profits during that time because of any EA, because they allow EA trading.

I've also proved to them that orders where opened at the top of the candles not in the middle or at any whipsaw.
So yes they had liqudity to process the orders.
 
You have nothing to prove to them. in the middle or at any whipsaw does not matter, they had liquidity at the execution prices that's why they filled your trades.

Non of their business if you were using EA (that they allow), excel program or a pencil and paper to calculate price feed differences!
