Since I said that from the thousand of binary options brokers, I opened my first account with Dukascopy since they are the first ones I can minimally trust, I would consider that praise, not criticism.Being a one post guy and coming here to criticize Dukascopy says it all! You are using a username, they'll not know who you are anyway, only if there was a real case with them firstly!!
Forex is one thing, binary options is quite another. When trading binary options with Dukascopy they are the counterparty. How much "winning" will they tolerate? $1K per day? $50K per day? These are not hypothetical numbers. $50K per day is not unreasonable given their maximum bet size ($10K) and their pricing structure (fixed).I can't believe that a bank like Dukascopy will stop you from withdrawing money or cut your profits just because you are succeeding!!, that's if we believe your story!!
To make it clear - I have nothing negative to say about Dukascopy at the moment. They did nothing wrong to me. But allow me to be skeptical that they will tolerate losing hundreds of $K per month to advanced traders with quant strategies.
On the other hand, assuming that the terms posted are correct, I think a 100 CHF per day penalty for public complaints is a bit harsh. I'd also like to see clarification on whether something like "fix my problem or I'll share the facts publicly" counts as blackmail.
You can read the terms for yourself. Section 22.6 in this version: http://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/docs/bankForms/Marketplace-Trading-Agreement-in-use.pdf
