Subject: PFG



I had a similar experience with PFG, they 
essentially "lost" one of my trades made during the day. At that time i was 
trading the e-mini s&p fairly actively during the day, sometimes as many as 
15 round turns per day. At the end of the day I was flat the market and felt 
everything was fine. The next day I came in to find I was in the money about 10 
points on a position I knew I did not initiate. I called and they said I was in 
fact in that position although I knew I was not. Since it was in the money I 
closed it and was not terribly upset, my first mistake. I again left at the end 
of the day flat. When I came in the next day I found out i was short although I 
called them several times during the day. This time the market gapped up a ton 
and we were out of the money about 20 points. I work for a small firm and my 
boss told me to keep it, it will come back. We eventually lost over 40 points 
which was admittedly our mistake because we did not cover down 20, but PFG did 
put us in a position we were never in. Because the quality of the fills is so 
bad I generally call them about 10 times a day and every time they said I was 
flat, until the next morning. When you talk to them on the phone they say "not 
held" meaning they are not liable if they are wrong. They said I should of known 
I was not flat which I guess, is partly true, they say i should of faught them 
to take away the winning trade they swore I had.
 
The most amazing part about this is that yesterday 
my company just started to trade E minis again and opened an account 
with..............PFG.

  Subject: [RT] Situation with PFG, Inc. - 
  your opinion, please?
  Guys, I need your advice on the situation I had today with 
  RFG.I went into the trade right after data released today. Position 
  has been in the profit for 3 minutes. I took the profit and reversed the 
  position and made a few pips in the opposite direction, being just in 
  the market 30 sec.Result 108 pips profit in $/chf that I made on PFG 
  forex online platform.In twenty minutes I've got the phone call 
  from chief dealer of forex desk who tried to explain that they have been 
  busy and I caught the wrong price and so on.. and they have to review the 
  trades. Short after this phone call I've got the massage that the trades 
  were executed in error and will not be included in account.After 
  that I made one more fast trade and I've got the call again, that I trade 
  to fast and they do not want costumers who made so short term 
  trades.This is not my first year in the market, but this is the first 
  timesomething like this happen to me. I am not looking to argue with them 
  about the profit I made I just want your opinion on the 
  situation.P.S. Of course I requested to closed my account 
  withPFG.To
