Hi Tradetowin,
I would assume you have heard all your going to here from them directly. Reading their response leads me in that direction. Using an ea of any type on their platform can be seen as manipulation of their platform and the terms & conditions that were sent says no manipulation. So there is their stance.
the withdrawl request you had probably was the reason they looked into your account, and I assume they looked at your platform saw the ea and bent you over for it.
I personally hate it for you and hope that you get your profit.
Have you looked into statute of limitations on auditing accounts by AVA? That would be the only recourse I see you having.
OH and by the way.... " news trader?" Balls of Steel BOI !!!! I like to think my mind is pretty agile but trading the news on one account has taught me to stay on the sidelines and pick up scraps later...good luck to you,,
