There are a lot of scammers in forex, starting from forex brokers! I was scammed by a broker (an Asian broker) tens of thousands for just one single night! The claim made by my broker was because of the GBPUSD flash crash happened just second past 10:00 p.m (GMT) in Oct. 2017. It said the GU spread had widenly so big, that my equity was not enough so they have to close my long trade at lowest low in decades, hence wiped off my account completely. The next morning when I logged back into my account, it was horror to see my balance became negative in thousands!
In addition, at the same time I had another broker (European broker) account also traded with GBPUSD with bigger lots, my balance was fully intact. When I found out why my other broker's account did not experience the same fate, i was told this particular broker they have the practice to close all their clients account automatically at beginning of 10:00 pm (GMT) for a few seconds up to a min. to adjust overnight swaps. So I was extremely lucky and so grateful for this broker that my account was protected because of their consideration for their clients.
