    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.

Keep after InstaForex. Sometimes they will pay people who complain. Sometimes they won't. If you don't complain, then they definitely won't do anything for you.

Make sure to leave a 1 star review for them if they don't get this fixed soon.

For you to gain or loose, two major thing determines that: If you sell and the market rise above your entry point and if you buy and the market drop below your entry point. Against this backdrop, kindly provide where the entry and exist point to determine the looses.

InstaForex again ? Oh my ! :D:D:D

Just a little comment. A friend had several live accounts with them. Consider this ====> If they do not cheat you, they will have to dig the rubbish compartment inorder to feed their families. But they "talk big" in their advertisement, thou. ;)

Its a shame that scammers like instaforex still win what they call award. I told them about various allegation on FPA against them but they said FPA is a site that makes money through ADVERT and ready to do anything to pull people down. Do you see how crazy this guys are?

Instaforex is a scam venture
 
I'll bet that InstaForex didn't mention that the FPA canceled their ad contract when Insta decided not to be deceptive when a couple of traders complained about them. If the FPA only was in this for cash, they'd have protected InstaForex instead of protecting traders.

The brokers make a lot of money from the Spreads and also by hedging some targeted trades. They have people working for them that can make lots of money on trading also.
It is really unbelievable that they still prefer to act in such unethical ways to steal peoples money.:mad:
 
Normally a " gap " is when there is a difference in price between the closing price friday at 5PM ( New York time ) and the opening price monday morning in Sydney, Australia. Brokers sometimes have rules about that, but all of your trading was on the same day and it was a thursday.

Even during a normal day, there is sometimes a gap if there is a disconnect in the price ( like jumping suddenly from one price to another without any tick in between ). A broker could possibly suffer a loss if he accepted your order at a certain price and found that he couldn t cover his position because of a sudden jump in price.

Still, I cannot make any sense from your statement. Such gaps are rare and I never heard of a broker who would pretend they had to cancel trades because of it. They normally cover their position even before they accept your order and both orders are executed simultaneously. A more common excuse would be that your orders were entered " off-quote " or they would accuse your EA of illegal trading like " arbitrage " ( IE using another feed that is faster than theirs to actually " predict the future " ).

Maybe those brokers who attract people with micro accounts have a problem when a trader opens and closes his account so quickly as you. They had to pay some processing fee when you funded your account with only 15 dollars....maybe it cost them more than 15 dollars. Now that would be THEIR problem of course and not yours. But that can explain why they wont let you go so easily with your little profit. They ll invent some reason ( any reason ) to keep it.

For now, it s not possible to make any sense of your case. Harrass them until they explain it better. But they are a russian broker....you are basically at their mercy because there is no regulation whatsoever in Russia for Forex.
