Sorry to hear that, the truth is that this has happened many times in the past with other prop firms. It's not like it was back in the heyday of prop trading during the dot com bubble, I'm not sure this stuff is worth the risk these days. I just trade futures now, plenty of leverage there if you...

So, I guess nobody has heard anything from these guys then I take it? Their website is still up. Kind of scary how a firm can just take all your money and disappear without a trace. How can it even be proved that it was all due to a bad trade and they didn't just run away with it all? This kind...

You are insane if you send these guys any money after what you have just read on this thread. They haven't answered emails or skype messages, and you have two people who told you that they received emails from them saying that they are not accepting traders any more, one email saying that they...

Good advice in general... I wouldn't send any details until I actually had contact with them just to be safe. Still, it's probably a genuine email. Although I'm not sure what good it will do, I doubt anyone will be getting much money back. If anyone has any luck talking to them you can post in...

Given the fact that (a) They are not responding at all to Skype messages, and (b) they are not responding to emails, I would say that the situation is real and they have shut down. My account has a zero balance so I can't log in and check, but maybe someone else can see if they can log in and...

Take a screenshot of those funds and when they arrived. It might be used as evidence to get all of your money back, in case they try to roll you in with losses that other people are sustaining. If what you are saying is true, if it was due to XIV, then you have a case against them for taking...

To be clear, I just noticed that the email I got is different than the one you posted earlier in the thread. The text of my email was as follows: Dear Customer, Shark Traders company is no longer providing services to individual traders, that is why crediting your trading account is no longer...

It is a little scary... they were running for years, and always very responsive and then all of a sudden with no warning in 24 hours they are gone. I have also written an email, let's see if they respond.

I don't think it's a scam. I actually withdrew all my cash recently (thankfully), but they appear to be offline now. I tried pinging them on Skype and no answer, which is the first time that has ever happened. I think they're gone, not sure what happened.
