I remember when I first started with FXCM
The platform would go down every other day.....positions would disappear.......quotes freeze...etc....
But none of that now
I think that in the beginning of every account, they try to kill you ASAP
BUT
If you are able to survive, they chill out and put you in their "leave this account be" group of traders where their machine does nothing crazy
Ever since I have been pretty good.....
Addition: I think their machine picks up over=leveraged positions and then the bid/ask starts going hyper-crazy rabid to stop-hunt or in the case of no stop limits, at least freak out the trader so that he manually closes out good positions due to fear
