anyone else get hit by a spike that only shows on YOUR broker

[charliebrown]

had a stop on gbpjpy, price wicked down 30 pips hit my stop then instantly went back up. checked tradingview and 2 other brokers feeds, the spike wasnt there. only my brokers chart had it. is this a thing or am i being paranoid

[shadowpilot]

its a thing on b-book brokers. they can show a price feed thats 'theirs', a quick wick to clear a cluster of stops then back. hard to prove individually but if it only shows on their feed and not on 3 others thats a huge red flag. save the screenshots side by side

[connor_m]

could also just be a real low-liquidity wick that your broker filled and the others didnt cause their feed aggregated differently. happens around news/rollover when liquidity is thin. not always manipulation, but worth watching the pattern. once = maybe, every time = sus

this drives me INSANE happened to me twice on the same broker right at rollover. moved brokers and it stopped. coincidence? maybe. felt targeted tho

or your stop was just in the obvious place everyone else put theirs and the market took it. liquidity goes where the stops are, no conspiracy needed

[Chris]

how do i even compare feeds, do i just screenshot tradingview at the same second?

[oliver_s]

yeah, tradingview + your broker chart + a second broker if you have one, same timeframe same second. if the wick is only on yours, keep that. one isnt proof but a folder of them is a pattern you can take to a regulator
