The Japanese election caused a violent drop and reversal
of JPY pairs over 3000 pips seconds after the release of the
election results. Oanda, one of the largest brokers, was sent
scrambling as accounts were wiped out and others grossly
inflated. My account was one that had been wiped out.
Thankfully Oanda cleared up the problem accounts.
Surely an event worthy of mention on the forexfactory calendar.
Thank you for your reply.

DislikedI don't mean to patronise you but you've got to take responsibility for your own decisions. It's not FF's fault that you weren't abreast of the events that effected your trade. And it begs the question; where on earth was your stop loss?Ignored

my 5 minute Aud/Jpy chart Aug 30 and having my

and waiting for Oanda to fix it. ... that is another
dude thing I guess.
Unfortunately, I did not save the graph but believe me
it was very much there and my zero balance was also.
Possibly one of you "smarter than dudes" would like to check with Oanda as to what happened....Ignored
Dislikedlet's get one thing straight. There was no 3000 pip move on any currency pair just after the japanese election. If such a move was observed by you, then it was an error in the data feed , as has already being pointed out, and your broker would make the correct amendments. You are either taking the piss, or too stupid to be trading.Ignored
Dislikedchrist!! The usd/cad has just dropped 7 billion pis in 1 second and wiped out my entire account!!! Oh... Hang on ... I had a stop in place , so i've only lost 1/2 a % of my equity. Phew!!Ignored

DislikedEverything seems to point toward an Oanda data problem . . . some sort of spike on their end. But you are probably right that the elections should be listed on the calendar from now on. Hopefully that will be taken care of.Ignored
