ive noticed it also ,it has worked both ways for me,
i believe that if someone has say 30.000 in front of you and your steaks are small say multiples of 3.00 euro they get taken quicker,it is my thought that there must be a software or bot available to put money quickly in to the market in small amounts,that is if you want to put in 3.0000 it can fire it in to the market in small amounts to have it taken quicker,or at least to jump the que of maybe 50.000 in front of you that has been put in by one guy in one lump.( please comment if anyone dosnt agree )
ive been writing down now every time im trading decent amounts for short price markets ,
that is money traded ,money in front of me so i have precise number of where my money should be taken.(its a bonus if some one in front scratches out ) but even to day i had to wait way over ,like 9.000 more than should have been where my money was taken,its really tooth grinding stuff when money is at risk.and this is not the first time its been mentioned on this forum.perhaps the more (SEASONED)experienced traders would like to comment more on this ,

I wouldn't trust BF with anything. However, I do much of my trading on Tennis & Goals Over/Under, and XM is very easy to see working on these markets. There's no complication when there's only 2 runners.
That's not the case when there's 10+ though. I'm not sure how it works in these cases, but I can imagine some scenarios would arise where people felt they were being victims of some underhand work
