COMPLAINT DETAILS

During the investigation of claim materials provided by the client on December 30^th , 2013 the DRC found out that during the period of three months (from late August until the end of December 2013), the client made her trades using trading adviser (EA) specifically designed for MT4 platform and managed to earn some profit on her trading account . On November 5^th, 2013 the client withdrew a portion of the profits ($400) from her account and continued to trade. After some time, the broker found a violation of trading rules on the client`s side and made a decision on December 24^th, 2013 to cancel all accumulated profits the client had made by that time. In their arguments broker refers to the fact that during the period from November 5^th to December 4^th , 2013 the expert adviser, used by the client, was able to identify financial instruments with quotations, lagging behind the real market, thus allowing the client to conduct transactions on obsolete or non-existent prices. In addition to canceling most of client`s profitable trades results the broker company requires the client to close her live account. In turn, the client does not find any violations of trade rules in her actions and demands compensation for wrongfully canceled profit of 586.16USD.
