Complaint Response

The company provided tick data for the said date when the client positions were stopped out maintaining that due to increased volatility spread increases for USDRUB occurred on several occasions that day. The company states that under normal conditions spreads are stable but the ‘dramatic’ increase in volatility caused spreads to widen from their liquidity providers which was reflected in their pricing. The company also offered the client a different choice of account with different conditions and fixed spreads.

Decision on this complaint is based on the information provided by Company and by the Client.

Summarizing all above the Dispute Resolution Committee found in favour of the client as the stop out price achieved on the day was not consistent with market prices overall despite the increased volatility.

This complaint was considered by members of the Dispute Resolution Committee  and framed by the Head of the Committee.

Ruling in favor Compensation
Client $1,434.81
