Severe Slippage

eToro

I lost 170,000 dollars on eToro due to unfair slippage, platform failures, and forced closures. As a beginner, I had no real understanding of CFDs, leverage, or the extreme risks involved. Instead of protecting me, eToro moved my account from Australia’s AFCA regulation to Seychelles, stripping away my legal protections without warning and then took advantage of my ignorance. The way my account was closed was disrespectful, as if they were doing me a favor Now I’m buried under $200,000 in debt, my family is suffering, and my health has collapsed. eToro’s system is not built to protect traders, it profits from their mistakes. I have full evidence of every trade showing the technical issues. Please read this before trusting eToro, once you lose, you lose everything

I experienced severe slippage on XAUUSD from the closing price, and the stop loss I set was too far away.

Silver reached a high of 53.24, but they liquidated my position at 53.34 and claimed it was normal. If this is considered normal, the spread for one lot of silver could easily be thousands of dollars.

Yesterday's highest closing price for silver was 53.24. He was there, 53.34 liquidated my position and told me this was normal, could move the point to 53.5.

I have set a stop loss for EsaFX, but they did not reduce it. On October 6th, I reduced my funds by over 400，I still have balance in my account but I can't take it out

TICKMILL

I've tried various brokers in Latam and Tickmill has been the worst. When I opened a position, the execution was several pips up and my operation started with negative $20 in a RAW account, which is unacceptable. I made a claim with evidence, and they responded 4 days later, telling me it was a demo account and to "learn how to use the platform", with a rude tone and zero professionalism. In that time, I had to close in negative to avoid burning the account. They don't have online support and they don't solve anything. I've seen other Latam traders report the same: sliding prices, misleading spreads, and a total lack of transparency. Terrible experience: I don't recommend Tickmill.

Upway

I entered with a heavy position. The phone screen recording showed continuous profits, but I couldn't close the position. On the third attempt to close, the platform executed it at a price that never appeared in the market—MT5 quotes confirmed no such price existed at that time. This turned my profits into losses. When I requested the trade code, the platform outright refused and then banned my account, blocking my access. They destroyed all evidence, but I always record my trades, so I have complete proof. I hope the platform can assist in defending my rights! Thank you!

PrimeXBT

I'm not impressed with PrimeXBT's spreads. While they claim to offer tight spreads from 0.1 pips, I've experienced wider spreads in certain market conditions. Cryptocurrency spreads can be particularly volatile. The lack of transparency and consistency in their spreads has led to unexpected trading costs. For active traders like myself, these costs can eat into profits. I expect more reliable spreads from a reputable broker." ¹

PXBT

I’ve been trading on PrimeXBT and honestly their spreads are terrible. They keep widening without warning, making it nearly impossible to trade profitably. It feels like the broker is taking advantage of traders rather than providing a fair market environment. Even in normal market conditions, the spreads are higher than most other brokers I’ve used. This makes me believe they’re more focused on draining clients’ accounts than building trust.

PXBT

I deposited funds on PrimeXBT two weeks ago and now they’re refusing to process my withdrawal. The support team keeps sending generic replies instead of solving the problem. They invented a strange excuse about a “Do not honor” issue, but my bank and credit card provider both confirmed this doesn’t exist and that they would never block an incoming payment. On top of that, I can’t even select the same card I used for deposit to request a refund. This looks like a deliberate attempt to trap client funds.

PXBT

I’m really disappointed with PrimeXBT because of their spreads. At first, I thought this broker was reliable, but after trading for some time, I realized their spreads are unreasonably high compared to other brokers. Every time I open a position, I’m already starting with a big loss because the spread is eating into my balance immediately. This makes it almost impossible to scalp or take short-term trades, and even longer-term trades feel like I’m being unfairly charged. Instead of giving traders a fair chance, PrimeXBT seems more interested in profiting off these inflated spreads. It’s frustrating because spreads are supposed to be competitive in today’s market, yet with PrimeXBT I feel like I’m trading at a disadvantage right from the start. Honestly, I regret depositing here, and I wouldn’t recommend this broker to anyone who values fair trading conditions.

FXGT.com

This broker is a scam. I can imagine they make a lot from slippage as commision. Their slippage is really severe at ond time that my account got blown few minutes after I opened a XAU/USD trade. I was so devasted as it has never happened before. My trading career took a hit from that event. Newbies, stay away from FXGT with every power you have. You will end up losing money my friend.

Levels

The Levels platform suffers from severe slippage. During a relatively stable gold market, where I frequently trade, I placed a buy order at $1,850 per ounce. Normally, slippage should be around $3-5. However, on Levels, the actual transaction price reached $1,858 per ounce, a staggering $8 in slippage. I carefully reviewed my gold trading history on the platform over the past two months. Of my 80 trades, 50, or 62.5%, experienced abnormal slippage (slippage exceeding $6). Furthermore, the platform's spreads are extremely unreasonable. While other reputable platforms typically offer spreads of $2-3 on gold trading, Levels' spreads frequently hover between $5-8, significantly increasing my trading costs. Beyond trading issues, the platform's customer service is also abysmal. Their customer service was extremely perfunctory, offering no substantive solutions to my issues. This platform has absolutely no regard for investors' interests and is a thoroughly deceptive platform.

Levels

My experience with Levels broker has been frustrating because their spreads are not stable at all. They constantly widen during trades, even when the market isn’t highly volatile. This makes trading unnecessarily expensive and stressful. What they advertise about tight spreads doesn’t match the reality, and it feels very misleading.

Levels broker promotes low spreads, but when I started trading, I quickly realized it was misleading. The spreads widen too often, especially at crucial moments, adding hidden costs to every trade. It feels unfair and unprofessional, making it very difficult to trust their platform.

Levels broker’s spreads are a big disappointment. They advertise competitive, low spreads, but once you’re trading, it’s a completely different story. The spreads suddenly widen during active sessions or even normal conditions, making it very hard to maintain profitability. It feels misleading and unfair because these hidden costs keep eating into profits, leaving me frustrated and doubting their transparency.

Levels broker claims to offer tight spreads, but in reality, they widen unexpectedly, especially during peak market hours. This constant change makes trading costly and frustrating. It feels deceptive because the spreads are nothing like what they advertise, cutting deep into potential profits

During my trading with the company i hav come across a common malpractice of increasing the spread of a running trade to effectively cause a wipeout and make the traders loose the money. I had four trading positions in GbpJpy , two hedged positions each of 30 mini lots with the below order numbers and details 117674678 buy 131.038 118179064 buy 129.915 118096852 sell 129.288 118213430 sell 129.188 All the above orders automatically got squared off and i had a wipe out of 897 usd. in total all my orders were actually closed / squared off at a exact time of 14:29:59 on 16.08.2016 with a vast difference in the closed trade prices, the buy trades closed at a price of 129.356…. And the sell trades closed at 129.635 a difference of 28 pips, which in a perfect real world caused the margin call and wipeout. The 5 minute mt4 candle 14.25 to 14.30 had open 129.53 high 129.563 low 129.158 close 129.318 ( my trades were closed at 14.29.59…hence this time frame would be legally Accountable

PXBT

The PXBT forex platform employs a variety of disgusting tactics. The manipulation involved in trading is even more outrageous. During the release of the November 2024 non-farm payroll data, my EUR/USD order experienced an abnormal slippage of over 2 points, resulting in a direct loss of $600. The platform's customer service excused the issue by citing "market volatility," completely ignoring the industry standard that legitimate platforms typically limit slippage to less than 0.5 points during major market fluctuations. This malicious slippage is clearly technical manipulation by the platform exploiting market fluctuations. The platform advertises "zero fees," but when I closed a $10,000 GBP/JPY order, I was inexplicably charged a $350 "transaction service fee." This is simply a brazen misappropriation of user funds. Stay away from this unregulated, manipulative, and fund-withdrawing black market platform.
