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

    • The digital landscape is undergoing a profound transformation as attention, once a freely given commodity, is increasingly recognized as a valuable asset. Layer3 is at the forefront of this revolution, pioneering a new economy where attention can be owned, traded, and monetized   This innovative approach empowers individuals to monetize their engagement, providing unprecedented control over personal data. Simultaneously, advertisers benefit from transparent metrics that optimize campaign performance. Content creators are presented with diverse revenue avenues beyond traditional advertising, while the overall ecosystem experiences a more equitable distribution of value.   The implications of Layer3 extend across various sectors. Social media platforms, for instance, can leverage this technology to revolutionize user engagement and monetization strategies. Tokenomics play a crucial role in driving Layer3's economy, incentivizing participation and rewarding value creation. While challenges such as data privacy and market volatility exist, the potential benefits of Layer3 are immense   Anticipation is building as its native token $L3 is on Bitget Pre-market as users await its listing on the exchange. This milestone is expected to significantly increase the token's visibility and accessibility, potentially driving substantial growth and attracting new investors.

    • I've been exploring the world of play-to-earn gaming recently, looking for something that's not just about endless grinding but actually offers a fun and rewarding experience. OGC really stood out to me because it combines gaming with a sense of community in a unique way. OGC isn't just a game; it's a platform where you can play, earn, and even help shape its future. You're not just a player; you're part of a community with a voice. The idea of earning crypto while playing games is exciting, but what makes OGC special is its focus on community involvement. Your feedback can directly influence the development of the game, which is a big deal. I've also heard that the OGC token is available for pre-market trading on Bitget. While I'm still getting to know the platform and its features, it's definitely something to keep an eye on. Has anyone else tried OGC? What has your experience been like? I'd love to hear your thoughts and any tips you might have.
    • I am anticipating the impact of this listing on Mongy.
