    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.

Dear client,

After conducting an investigation on the trading activity of your account, we have reached to the below conclusion:

Your accounts were trading on price disparities with the purpose of benefiting from a possible pricing arbitrage to the Company's detriment.

This comes as a violation of our Trading Terms and Conditions to which the Client has to comply with before opening an account with the Company.

At this point we would like to draw your attention to Paragraph 7.23 and 26.4 of the Trading Terms and Conditions:

7.23 Internet, connectivity delays, and price feed errors sometimes create a situation where there is price latency on the Electronic Systems such that there is a disparity between the Company quoted prices and current market prices for short periods. Client expressly acknowledges and agrees that it shall not execute Transactions with the Company that rely on price latency arbitrage opportunities either by using additional functionalities/plug-ins (i.e. Expert Adviser, etc.) or by any other means. If the Client acts in contravention of this clause the Company reserves the right to (i) make corrections or adjustments to the relevant Transaction execution prices to reflect what would have occurred had there been no price latency arbitrage; and/or (ii) cancel all the relevant Transactions; and/or (iii) terminate without notice the Client’s Account with the Company; and/or (iv) charge an administration fee equal to 10% of the deposited funds, with the maximum charge set at $200 or deposit currency equivalent.

26.4 The Company may terminate this Agreement immediately without giving five (5) business days written notice, and the Company has the right to reverse and/or cancel all previous transactions on a Client’s account, in the following cases:

(a) The Client involves the Company directly or indirectly in any type of fraud, in which it places the interests of the Company and/or the Company’s clients at risk prior to terminating this Agreement.

(b) The Company have grounds to believe that the Client’s trading activity adversely affects in any manner the reliability and/or smooth operation and/or orderly functioning of the Trading Platform.

Having said the above, we will proceed with the below action:

  • Reverse any profits generated as a result of the breach of our Trading Terms and Conditions.

In addition please also note that the company reserves the right to charge an administration fee which at this point has chosen to waive, and you have the right to request withdrawal of your remaining balance in the account.

What are you even thinking to risk with $100?
 
My EA Requires FIXED SPREAD Accounts (FIXED SPREAD - 24x5) and IRONFX Does Provide such an Account and i was eager to deploy and Check the Performance of my EA
Still, there are many who can offer the same.

By the way any official reply from them about the issue?
 
No Reply Receieved after the initial communication to Suspend my Accounts
The Relationship Manager says he is not aware of this issue.

What Ironfx told me is I tried to do " Price/Latency Arbitrage " which is not allowed.
