Price Manipulation?


Guest Obelius_Titan

Question

Guest Obelius_Titan

Hi all,

This is my first post on here and I was hoping someone could answer a question for me. I had a long position on AUD/USD which was going badly. However, my stop loss hadn't been hit yet and the market was showing some tentative signs of retracement, where I was hoping to get out with minimal damages.. Until BAM, I get hit with this wick in the last 5 minutes before market close. Now, I've checked various other exchanges on Trading View and none of them had a wick anywhere near as violent as this one. Some of them didn't have a wick at all!
And lastly, the wick reached 0.67775, which just barely tagged my stop loss, however, my position was closed at 0.67757.
Could anyone please tell me:

A) Is this wick just IG trying to f$&# me over through some kind of price manipulation? Because if so, how are they allowed to get away with this?

and B) How is it that my position closed lower than where the price even reached?

Needless to say, I'm not very impressed but I'm going to assume it's only my own ignorance that I should be upset about. Any help would be appreciated!

Regards,

OT

    • Brent crude oil, gold and natural gas prices drop post hawkish Fed pause Outlook on Brent crude oil, gold and natural following Fed’s hawkish pause. Source: Bloomberg  Axel Rudolph FSTA | Senior Financial Analyst, London | Publication date: Thursday 21 September 2023 11:27 Brent crude oil comes off its ten-month high The price of Brent crude oil continues to come off Tuesday’s ten-month high at $94.97 while the US dollar once more appreciates, exerting a slight downward pressure on the oil price, and as the Fed delivered a hawkish pause. Support can be spotted around the $90.97 early September high ahead of the psychological $90.00 mark. Resistance lurks around Tuesday’s $93.32 low. Further up lies this week’s ten-month high at $94.97 and the mid-September 2022 high at $95.19. Source: ProRealTime Gold comes off yesterday’s $1,947 high Gold rallied back towards its $1,953 per troy ounce early September high but only managed to reach $1,947 before it came off again as the greenback continued to appreciate following hawkish comments at the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). The 200-day simple moving average (SMA) at $1,925 is currently being probed as support, below which the 6 September low at $1,915 may also act as minor support. Minor resistance above the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at $1,932 sits at Tuesday’s $1,937 high. Source: ProRealTime Natural gas comes off this week’s six-week high Natural gas prices recently shot back up to the $3.000 mark on weather and production concerns but are currently slipping back from this week’s high at $3.021. A slip through Wednesday’s $2.857 low would put Monday’s low and the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) at $2.800 to $2.791 on the map. Immediate resistance is seen at the early September high at $2.904 ahead of last and this week’s highs at $2.973 to $3.021. Slightly further up sits the August peak at $3.050. Source: ProRealTime
