The Worse and Severe Slippage and Suspected Fraud

I would like to share my experience with TridentPro regarding a hedging trading arrangement involving XAU/USD positions. I was introduced to a strategy where simultaneous Buy and Sell positions were opened on XAU/USD, supposedly to earn from positive overnight swap fees while keeping the trades hedged. The arrangement was presented as low-risk and legitimate. The introducer also appeared closely connected to the brokerage, and I was informed that IBs (Introducing Brokers) were allowed access to parts of the system to assist in client KYC approvals, which increased my confidence. However, on 25 August 2025, immediately after the forex market opened, the positions suffered severe losses and resulted in margin calls. Despite being hedged, the losses escalated rapidly within a very short time, leading to substantial financial damage. Collectively, we lost more than USD 400,000.
