This is case of 08/05/2020 friday at market closing. I had four open positions, i was critically observing market prices that were going in my favor. Suddenly all my open orders closed and i though they reached my TP level but when i checked account history there was reflecting Negative balance. sooner i contacted live chat and informed the situation and provided screenshots for prices running for last 3 hours. they said to complain via support email, i did but when i got response i shocked to hear from them that the transactions were executed correctly. when i asked about screen shots showing prices in my favor and was about to hit TP as i set. Lia the representative is saying all selling orders are executed with ask price i said if highs and lows during transaction close were (Level High =1.39315Level Low = 1.39113) For ask price if we add even 30 pips the price could be High= 1.39350. then how transactions are closed saying price reached to High level - 1.39410 as appearing in my account history.
Price of Candlestick and stop out manipulated and hit me loss of USD57 instead of adding me with profit - USD90 as set.

    your response doesn't supports the facts of closing the transactions with your said prices, as your below prices were high during the period of 22:00 and my transactions were survived in that period and moved towards closing of day. while in day end 23:50 to 23:58 no prices were went as high to fall margin level below 20% my provided screen shots and system log clearly proves the prices were never moved towards below 20% margin level. Further this is totally fraud and SCAM of FBS that to forcefully close server was accessed by FBS and prices manipulated. The candle stick chart and prices closed were never accurate further i also checked the highs and lows for the currency pair in day end never touched the prices you forcefully closed and taken all the money.

    Dear Javed Karim,

    Thank you for contacting us.

    Please, note that HIGH and LOW indicators you refer to are used to describe the highest and lowest prices of the candle and are used to describe BID price, not an ASK price.

    As you may confirm the information as per provided quotes, at the moment of the order closure the ASK price reached the level of 1.39410. The spread widened, which usually happens on market closure - please, note that you were trading on Friday night, right before the market session closed for the weekend.
    Since you had 4 orders opened by that time, the margin of your trading account was not enough to support the orders executed by you, which is why it fell down to 20%, causing the orders to be closed on Stop Out.

    The Take profit level established on your orders was never reached by the ASK price in the period from the order opening till the order closure.
    Since you have also mentioned the prices by 22:15, we would like to also provide you with the prices at the moment:

    As you may see, Take Profit price was never reached since the price level set by you was not reached as well.
    By that time, you had only one order opened, which is why the margin of your trading account was enough to support the order opened by you. Nevertheless, it is necessary to have a bigger amount in order to support 4 orders, which is why the free margin of your trading account fell rapidly on spread widening.

    Thus, the orders under consideration were executed correctly and in full accordance with the trading conditions and Customer Agreement.

    We do understand your frustration and would highly recommend you to calculate your risks beforehand very thoroughly. Also, we recommend you to see if your trading strategy is appropriate by trying it on Demo-accounts.

    If you have any other questions please contact us again here or in our LIVE chat.

    Have a very nice day!

    Sincerely,
    Lia

    08.05.2020 22:15 level high hit to 1.39412 and my orders survived and moved to closing that means there were no low margin level reached...
    08.05.2020 23:45 to 23:58 these were the lows and highs
    Level High =1.39315Level Low = 1.39113
    Secondly i get notification emails when margin level goes less than 100% but in this case i haven't received email as my margin level was already running between 140% to 170%.
    So i request you to reinvestigate the case and arrange to revert the wrongly executed transactions enabling me to resume trade with FBS.

    Dear Javed Karim,

    Thank you for contacting us.

    We have considered your claim regarding the orders
    1145986122 (SELL 0.20 on USDCAD with Take Profit level 1.39204 executed at 23:57 on 2020.05.08)
    1145988711 (SELL 0.15 on USDCAD with Take Profit level 1.39244 executed at 23:57 on 2020.05.08)
    1145988335 (SELL 0.15 on USDCAD with Take Profit level 1.39200 executed at 23:57 on 2020.05.08)
    1145989894 (SELL 0.15 on USDCAD with Take Profit level 1.39246 executed at 23:57 on 2020.05.08)
    on account 220401855, checked the log-files of the server and the chart history and would like to inform you about the following.

    According to the Customer Agreement p.3.6.2. (screenshot : http://prntscr.com/ivax7e ) The Company is entitled to mandatory closing of Client open positions without prior notification of the latter one, if a Margin level is lower than 20% of the necessary margin for maintaining open positions.
    This is exactly the case of your order: on 2020.05.08 the margin level for this particular order fell below 20%, that is why the mentioned orders were executed at the first VALID (i.e. available for trading) quote after the stop out option was triggered,
    The corresponding comment to the orders proves this fact:
    1145986122 - so: -11.5%/-3.7/32.5
    1145988711 - so: -18.8%/-4.2/22.5
    1145988335 - so: -42.1%/-3.2/7.5
    1145989894 - so: -30.4%/-4.6/15.0

    Where "so" stands for earlier described Stop Out, and the percentage amounts specify the amount of margin remaining after the order closing, not 20% losses as you were inclined to believe.
    Let us take an example: Order, opened with 100$ margin is closed with SO function when the margin amount reaches lower than 20$, indicating 20%.
    We suggest you considering this option which is directly related to your margin level in your future trading.

    You may also kindly check the available quotes at the moment of your order execution via the following table.

    Please, kindly note that SELL orders are being opened on BID price and close at the ASK price.
    Due to the specifications of Metatrader 4 platform, the graph shows only BID price, The high and low are also mentioned per BID prices only.
    In order to see the ASK price, you need to activate the ASK line in graphic settings.
    Also kindly note that it is possible to check the exact ASK price only at the exact moment by following the ASK price line or via quotes provided to you below.

    DATE TIME BID ASK

    08.05.2020 23:57:50 ; 1,39241 ; 1,39409 - the exact price on which your order 1145986122 was executed
    08.05.2020 23:57:50 ; 1,39252 ; 1,39410 - the exact price on which your orders 1145988711 and 1145989894 were executed

    08.05.2020 23:57:50 ; 1,39224 ; 1,39404
    08.05.2020 23:57:51 ; 1,39223 ; 1,39403
    08.05.2020 23:57:51 ; 1,39223 ; 1,39397

    08.05.2020 23:57:52 ; 1,39211 ; 1,39391

    Thus, the orders under consideration were executed correctly and in full accordance with the trading conditions and Customer Agreement.

Dear Javed Karim,

1145988335 - so: -42.1%/-3.2/7.5
1145989894 - so: -30.4%/-4.6/15.0

Where "so" stands for earlier described Stop Out, and the percentage amounts specify the amount of margin remaining after the order closing, not 20% losses as you were inclined to believe.
Let us take an example: Order, opened with 100$ margin is closed with SO function when the margin amount reaches lower than 20$, indicating 20%.
We suggest you considering this option which is directly related to your margin level in your future trading.

Also, we would like to remind you that the Market was extremely volatile at closure on 08.05.20 (check the chart screenshot, please - http://prntscr.com/sfuetc ) which stipulated growth of Ask price as well, unfortunately.
We do understand your frustration and would highly recommend you to calculate your risks beforehand very thoroughly. To reduce risks we would advise you to try trading with less volume and less leverage.
Also, we recommend you to see if your trading strategy is appropriate by trying it on Demo-accounts.
 
People trading with 0.2lot on a $250 account are really wondering why they got stopped out on a minute chart? Sorry, but you just over-leveraged your account; with 0.75lot opened on a $250 account you can crash your account immediately, right after opening all those huge trades. Just stick to the simple rule of "1lot for every 100k of your account-size" (which means using 0.01lot per trade on an account-size lower than $2.000), and you should be okay in the future.
