This competition is bollocks, why are some people getting withdraw fees and some are not?
can you explain please FXCM

I've asked same question last week and fxcm has replied.
When trading gold you'll have normal spread and won't be charged comision (withdraw) , while for currency you will have lower spread and will pay a commission based on lot size which will be shown as withdraw in your account.

Hi Gentlemen,

My account balance more 69000 and I buy 35.0 USDJPY, FXCM closed my buy trade on price -$11204.75 ...Why?
and in the statement write 97.0%/44149.1/45500.0

Could you please explain what means this 97.0%/44149.1/45500.0

Yes now also around dozen of Chinese account form 7th to 21th that have same order ( all Gold/XAU with same entry/exit points) and now also they trade reverse ( one account buy XAU, other sell). That is dirty tricks from Chinese.
FXCM - please delete/ban these accounts from contest or your contest will be not fair any more
Profit for investor

It is forbidden to have multiaccounts but unless it's prooven that there is a single user on all accounts it should not be banned.
They can simply be friends and share knowlege about market. Why all of them to lose if one can win and share prize (not that it's much) with the others.

You guys are such cry babies. who Cares. The Chinese might make a mistake. And they will make this mistake on multiple accounts. Watch YOU take a BIG leap in the line. Get over it. All of you must be losing real bad to be so jealous.

As mentioned in my post on the first page of this discussion thread, the MT4 charts still show our old pricing which includes our old markups: https://www.myfxbook.com/community/contests/forex-contest/840323,60#?pt=2&p=1&o=840323

So while the bid price on the chart only went up to 114.674, the actual Bid price as seen in your Market Watch window (which reflect the raw FX spreads you can trade trade on) went up higher allowing you to sell at 114.679.

To know for certain why your trade was closed, please log into Trading Station Web and click on the Report button: https://tsweb.fxcorporate.com/

The Condition column of the report will tell you what order type closed the trade. For example, if it says MC, then you got a margin call. That would mean the trade was closed out because you ran out of margin. Did you have any other trades open in your account at the time?

why here is a such a big drop in equity without any loss, but by some kind of withdraw?

Looking at the contest account you mentioned now, you can see there was a large losing trade on November 10. It's possible that information was not yet updated on the page the last time you visited: https://www.myfxbook.com/members/himaalex84/contest-himaalex84/1063473

I cant believe this. We have a whole month in this contest. The chances are the same pretty much. These guys will duplicate their mistakes across all their accounts (Assuming they are cheating) which will totally wipe him/her out. Besides that theire is nothing wrong theoritically with a buddy sharing his trades with his other trading buddies which is another possibility. Trading involves strategic planning. And telling on someone else is not going to help your game one iota. The chinese are not a threat at all. But what is a threat are all EAs. Im far more concerned over that than a bunch of chinese.
