• Please try to select the correct prefix when making a new thread in this folder.

    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.

    More info coming soon.

Problem don't work with Pepperstone I lost there 105000$ in one week nobody there spoke to me never send me emails about margin call they are lier broker.

I am having an issue with a company
I feel for you and your loss, but this sounds like you lost your money because of lack of understanding of how leverage and margin work. A new trader with a large balance using 1:500 leverage looking for big wins without understanding the risk is a story repeated time and time again.

I never had any experience with Pepperstone to be honest but all I know is this is another ASIC regulated Aussie broker with no strict audit and monitoring. I have proof that about the dirty games brokers play to send you to the margin call zone. The less experienced you are, the better chance for them to corner you .

I lost my faith in FX brokers even Crypto ones. I was trading with Bitmex when bitcoin crashed In March, They froze many trader's platform so we could not close our short position in profit and open a new position at $3700 a bitcoin. I learned my lesson, No one gives you free loan just to help you make money. It's more profitable for Casino (House) to manipulate the game and take all your money! The whole point is that we cannot blame the trader all the time. The poor guy was not experienced but that doesn't mean it was all his fault.
 
Thanks for all support... now I understand that the broker want me to loss like casino.. and If i win they loss.. but to give 1:500 to newbie is like to give a gun to kill yourself.. and not sending margin call never calling after see big loss and to ask what is going on that his fake broker not fair one and need to be ashamed on him and hope people won't work with them, don't understand why asic still giving them 1:500 levarage and why AFCA that know they are fake not giving my money back!!

No worries Mate. Hope justice finds its way towards them and you get your money back . I don't know how you got a margin call but In the meantime while they are processing your complaint. calculate your lot size and margin requirement on the day you had a margin call. I know some of these ASIC regulated brokers play dirty tricks and reduce the account leverage during the night. Make sure your leverage has not been affected.

To be honest AFCA is a non profit org. Making minimum 2 million dollars a year out of 35000 members. I have a feeling that their judgement could be little biased but I hope I'm wrong .fingers crossed.
Try to report them to ASIC if you have proof about their misconduct. Normally they do nothing but still.

ASIC is good to complain to, but AFCA actually has restitution powers. But most victims are relying too heavily on the regulators to do things on their behalf. Regulation is "after the fact" or reactionary.

But what most traders don't know are the lengths that unscrupulous brokers can go through to legally trip up their clients. This is why understanding the broker's business model is critical. Or put another way, if you don't understand their business model, do not deposit. @roiboy got an expensive lesson here. #RegulatedFool
