$100.000 lost in 30 minutes: Exposing Price Manipulation at Atlanta Capital Markets (ACM)
I would like to share a real trading incident that I encountered at Atlanta Capital Markets, to warn the trading community about the risks related to the order matching mechanism and transparency in technical processing.
- On July 17, 2025, I executed a Sell CFD order for ZINC, volume 50 lots, matched at the price of 2705.
- After 30 minutes, the order was automatically closed at 2745, while the price chart at that time only fluctuated around 2706–2707.
- This deviation caused a loss of 100,000 USD and led to the burning of the entire account.
I have sent a request for clarification:
- The system's order matching mechanism
- Actual spread data and liquidity conditions at the time of closing the order
- System logs and technical processing logs.
However, despite the deadline for response, the exchange has not yet provided a full and transparent explanation, making me doubt the reasonableness of the incident.
In addition to the above price deviation issue, I also discovered some other unusual signs during the transaction process, making me suspect that this could be a staged scenario to appropriate user assets. I will share these points specifically in the following articles so that the community has a clearer perspective.
If anyone has encountered a similar situation or has suspicious signs, I look forward to connecting to share data and coordinate to speak up to protect the common interests of the trading community.
