my rant for the day, page-35

Hiya Winks

I think people get caught up in the conspiracy theories a bit.

I reckon I would have been stopped out to my exact stop at least 6 times in 9 months and then the price reversed.
I heard about how they hunt stops and thought...the shifty sods...they got me.
Then reality set in...they got me for between $200 and $500.
They aren't actually hunting me at all. They wouldn't even care about my existence. Simply coincidence.
I am sure us little people get caught in some of the bigger actions however I think the cases would be isolated and can alweays be proved against another program.
ie Just a few moments back there was a 25 or so pip spike on the aud and reverse on IG. Ahhh...hunting stops we cry!
Yet when we check against another provider they also spiked and reversed.
So that says it is not the providers. It is most likely just the market vaguaries. It can be a big player as pointed out in one of the articles I posted early however I think we need to be wary of just citing IG or whoever because quite often an accidental spike occurs through the 3rd party chart providers. If this happens IG will happily rectify the trade.
