There is a 300 pip stop loss by the platform provider which is meant to protect in case the signal provider DOES NOT send a stop loss in when the position is opened. However, if the signal provider sends in a stop loss or if you place your own stop loss, then this 300 pip default is nullified. There have not been any changes on this matter since the platform began.

So, as you can see, this 300 pip stop loss is immediately overridden once:
1) the signal provider sends in a stop loss, or
2) the client sends in a stop loss

Email systemselector@fxcm.com with your account number and trade details and we can review and verify the activity and signals sent by the signal provider.
