Hi everyone, I’d like to share a serious issue I recently experienced and get some insights from the community.
On April 30, 2026, my forex trading account suddenly executed multiple trades in a very rapid sequence (burst entry) followed by bulk closing of positions — all happening without my intention.
Here’s the important part:
- The broker claims the trades were authorized because they were executed using valid login credentials.
- They also mentioned activity from an Android device and an iPhone, both of which are indeed my personal devices.
- However, at the exact time this happened, I was working and not trading at all.
I actually have a screen recording from the moment it happened. In the video:
- The “bulk closing all positions” suddenly starts on its own
- I react in panic and try to stop it immediately
- My actions are clearly defensive, trying to secure the remaining balance
- But I lose to the speed of the burst entries — it all happens too fast
I want to emphasize:
👉 I did NOT initiate those trades
👉 I did NOT intentionally enable any bulk execution
👉 I have NO idea who or what triggered it
The broker’s conclusion is basically:
“Since the login was valid, all actions are considered authorized.”
To me, that feels like an oversimplification.
Valid login ≠ intentional trading, especially if:
- There could be session hijacking
- Credential compromise
- API/EA misuse
- Or even platform-side issues
What makes it worse is the speed and pattern of execution, which honestly doesn’t feel human.
My questions to the community:
- Has anyone experienced something similar (burst entry / mass execution without clear intent)?
- Is it technically possible for trades to be triggered like this without direct manual action?
- How strong is the broker’s argument that “valid login = user responsibility”?
- What would you recommend as the next step — escalate to regulator, forensic analysis, or something else?
I’m currently pushing back and asking for a deeper investigation, but I’d really appreciate any insights, similar experiences, or advice.
Thanks in advance 🙏
