Discuss Weird spikes before the NY Session close on IC Markets

[chilango]

I wanted to bring up something regarding ICMarkets. On August 20th, I was analyzing EURUSD from this broker when suddenly, there was an unexpected spike to the downside exactly 17:01 NYC time. After that shock, I switched the chart on TradingView to FXCM and the strange spike didn’t appear there or on any other market charts.

Since this incident, I’ve been concerned that ICMarkets might be manipulating prices to stop traders out. I’ve noticed similar spikes on other instruments right before the close of the NY session. After doing some research, I’ve come across some concerning reviews about the broker on this forum which has made me question whether I should trust them.

Have you guys noticed anything shady?
