FXTF said a system-settings error caused its MT4 platform to check client margin at 13:30 instead of the normal 15:30 to 15:45 window, Finance Magnates reported on 2 November. The check tests whether an account has more than 100% of required margin. The report gives no affected-account count.
The broker apologised and said it would review settings and their management. No aggregate trading loss or completed remediation outcome was disclosed. The article treats this operational error separately from the third-party hosting attack, and it should not be used to claim that FXTF’s trading system was newly compromised.
