The spreads were always low and the price feed was stable at the start of my trading on this platform. I mean it was good, but now it became a shameless broker. They manipulated the price and closed my positions arbitrarily, like many other brokers. THIS 101 INVESTING HAS NO HEARTS NOW.

Me sorprende que la licencia de regulación de este broker sea clonada. Pero para nosotros los inversores comunes y corrientes, cómo vamos a identificarlas? Gracias a Wikifx por ayudarnos...
