Looking at my charts I saw an unbelievably huge spike - haven't seen such a massive one in a while. I was just wondering, were any traders caught in this spike?

would be interesting if people could post what was the lowest price USDCHF got to yesterday on their brokers chart (live accounts only) I will start 0.06274 with IC Markets, 0.83343 with Global Prime.

Pepperstone reached 0.71412 just read in another spread on USDCHF. IC Markets have said the 0.06274 was from Currenex when Integral feed went down and trades will be adjusted for when prices were quoted incorrectly. So looks like IC Markets is going to fix up trades. Still a massive difference between Global Prime and Pepperstone prices, will be interesting to see how all the brokers adjust trades to traders.

I really hope it doesn't happen to the majors - I believe it happened so quickly that stoplosses were disregarded. Was there any sort of warning? I suppose if you are a fundamental trader you would have known to stay away from affected pairs?

You can be certain that any adjustments will be in the brokers favour.
There was no warning, SNB said it needed to be a surprise. Stop losses were not honoured because for a while there was no liquidity. The market makers pulled out.
There are some traders saying they called it, but law of averages would dictate that some people would be right in their guestimates.

Geez..I know forex is risky but, what expert advisor/manual trading system can foresee something like this? I am sure there are many out there who had their entire account blown in a few seconds. I can understand it was done in secrecy to avoid some cashing in on this and becoming unbelievably rich.

This is going to take many brokers out of the game and the effects will probably cause some changes in the way the market operates.
