Dear Members

I hope you are doing well.

I was reading in a forum thant Metatrader has a plugin where the broker can manipulate the price from their side, not talking about price from liquitidy providers, I talk about where example price went up to 1.1100, but they set it up to 1.1105 to clear stops.

Can this happen in cTrader services?

Example, this client has a very big lot size, let's move the price a little bit to clear his stops. Is it possible?

Thank you so much and have a great week.

Hi dani20102015,

Can this happen in cTrader services?

No it cannot. Brokers cannot manipulate price feeds from within cTrader.
