It seems to me that TradersWay have lost their connection to their liquidity provider for some time, and have acted as market maker to keep their trade services running and minimize claims. As the FX market is an OTC market, the easy excuse is always: "our live feed was correct" which is not a complete lie as it was the price in the local TradersWay liquidity pool at the moment, but it had no relation to the market.
I totally agree with you DavidB .. however I think they never lost connection to their liquidity pool. Looking at the Tradersway demo account .. those bars match DailyFX! I have been in IT for almost 30 years and manage a staff of 20 developers. We have over 30 servers in our computer room and I can tell you this .. our production environment has failover, clustering, and VM rollover to make sure our customers NEVER lose connection to the data. Our test environments are another case .. no failover .. no nothing .. only a duplication of what is in the production environment. So why would the live feed be so incorrect and the demo feed correct? Very very suspicious. Like I said .. I only lost $20 but it's the principal of the thing .. and how do I know it hasn't happened before and never noticed? Lesson learned on my part .. I will follow the ticks much closer in the future.
