This is the picture of the stop hunt. This is a live account with a 100 lot sell trade on.

Doh, I was looking at the wrong bar. Sorry to dispute. Your right about that being a move.

A couple of things to note here.

I see the very first chart hitting 26 on the red candle, however none of the additional charts do including your last one (which I presumed was a reposting of this first one). Did you notice ? Or did I misunderstand what you meant by the next chart as it appears like it's on the exact same platform as the first chart.

Second, during FOMC news, a 20 pip stop? I'm not likely to attempt to understand exactly what the rationale is, but 20 pip volatility is so common during news releases.

Yup I've been searching for a little while on COES and sure looks like a fake candle for me... Have you sent this information to the broker and asked them to explain it? The 20 pip stop is near, but not really the point... the phony candle is the point...

[18:46 EUR/USD: EUR/USD Option Barriers Break] New York May 10. The defense of alternative barriers at 1.2815 that had repelled every effort to break from the topside finally gave way. FX traders are reacting to every tic in the 10Y Treasury note. We enrolled a session high in 1.2755, marginally above prevent losses in the 50 degree. Eager buyers of EUR sopped up the wave of selling, and we built up sufficient kinetic energy to rip through the topside. We are rebounding off 1.2830, here are 1.2850 challenges, and 1.29s. We also hear that there are enormous sell orders in 1.3000. Watch this space.

Heres the thomson report saying that it didn't touch the 1.2815 alternative amounts until AFTER the big down move. It seems highly unlikly that yours has been the only trade which has been smoked out in that move. Raise hell with em!

Sorry, it doesn't burst my bubble. Clearly, you didn't read my whole post. I'm well aware that the SUBSEQUENT candle attained 1.2833. But, not the candle that the stopout happened on.

This will be a bit more clear. I have images from the 1 minute . As you look well joined to the OTC market, please find me a broker or bank that traded EURUSD at 1.2826 at 2:15 PM EST as this broker did. The first image is the stop hunt, or, if you will, the errant price pub. The second is from InterbankFX.

InterbankFX 1m chart.

Sorry DarkStar,

I had been getting a little snippy with you personally.

Regards,

It is all good brother. If I were in your position I believe I would be throwing things.
