DislikedI think you have good case, price never went up that high, not only that, they gave you slippage also, not to mention the data feed had been bad for hours before they stopped you out, write the email, let us know if they put you back in trade, good luckIgnored
DislikedHello All,
My name is Joel Murphy, and any of you that have called the GO Markets office over the last few years would have most likely had a chat to me. Following Chris Reynolds’ departure from GO Markets I’ll be you new point of contact on Forex Factory.

DislikedNice spreads before payrolls GO. Blew out to 30 pips on Eur/USD about a minute before numbers even came out.
I don't know what the hell has been going on at GO, not least of all because they did not see fit to email users about any changes, but this broker has become little more than a bucket shopIgnored
DislikedThats much better than what i used to experience - (eurjpy) 100+pips spreads was a regular event.
But, I think after all the yelling matches I had with them, spreads improved - a bit)
That was about 8-9 months ago roughly.
They're amateur operators - I trashed about 6K with this crew....and funny enough, my trading performance improved dramatically when I finally signed up with a couple of 'professional' (Dukascopy & Oanda) brokers.
Call it coincidence?
Hardly...Ignored
DislikedHuge spreads during events like payrolls are common, but they aren't supposed to happen before news has even been released.Ignored
DislikedWell, I think I just encountered the mother of all slippages,
My XAUUSD long entry on 17/11/2011 12:16 at 1756.00 and S/L at 1750.50 closed only when the price reached 1741.10 . If it had closed at my SL, it would have been ~$30 loss (similar to the first order) instead of the $88 loss. A slippage of ~900 pips (SL at: 1750.50, ClosePrice at: 1741.10) appears extreme.
I just wrote to GoMarkets and waiting for their response.Ignored
DislikedFrom what I can see the reason for this dramatic drop is due a technical level being breached and it executed an avalanche of stop’s across the market.
we are unable to correct any trades given this is valid price movement in the underlying market.Ignored
DislikedAs a follow-up, I received this reply from GoMarkets when I asked them to correct the trade.

What happened here was a result of a massive move in the price of gold in a very short time period. Essentially if the market moves $10 in the space of a few seconds it will trigger your stop and close you out at the next best price. Slippage on stop orders around this time seem to be a common theme across our client base.

DislikedDoes this mean the traders who "bad" experienced such moves would have to bear the losses themselves? or would go market going to return the funds to the traders or zeronise the trades?Ignored
Yeah thats exactly the point, it comes down to what they would prefer 100000 lots a day traded at 0.5 commission or 10000 a day at 1 pip commission. There surely would be alot more trades done if spread was tighter Im seeing 2 pips alot, thats big these days.
