No I DO have an issue with anybody doing any of those unscrupulous, dishonest maneuvers that do not play fair. If no brokers at the retail level are allowed to stop-hunt, requote, reject trades and freeze their software on purpose, then no brokers at ANY level including at the liquidity-providing level should be allowed to do that. Trading is NOT a manipulated game and shouldn't be; trading in many instruments are not and neither should spot FX trading and the fact that spot FX trading is manipulated in some unscrupulous way is NOT right. We are NOT supposed to accept reality as the truth. If the reality is flawed, we need to change that. Software has nothing to do with it. It's people who use the software that needs to be regulated properly to stop manipulating the market AT ALL LEVELS to their unfair advantage using the software or not. Market-making is certainly flawed as it creates opportunities for conflict of interest so it is a good idea to ban it but banning it at retail level is NOT enough. Ultimately at the liquidity-providing level, you are still facing the ultimate market-makers, the banks, the last stop that makes essentially THE market. The conflict of interest is still there because they control the market and WHY would they be willing to let you profit at their expense so those banks engage in the same tactics as the brokers in retail level. And the regulators are powerless to stop it. They have actually tried looking into it; there were investigation attempts made at examining these issues but nothing ever came out of it. No recommendations or any tangible results have come out of it as far as I know. That's the problem. So now instead of tackling the Goliath to solve the problem, the regulators are turning to clamp down David because we are the little guys and we are the ones who's make a fuss. And of course for any regulators, it's always easier to deal with David rather than Goliath. And that's why all the regulators around the world are shutting down retail FX industry. It's like if you can't play with the big boys then you don't get to play at all. Does it matter that the big boys are not playing fair? That, they don't care or don't have the energy to care.Originally Posted by ;
