In response to investors' complaints, we can analyze from the perspective of IT technology to see if it is possible for the trading platform to block the investor's deposit channel when he is about to blow up his position.
Suppose the investor (hereinafter referred to as CC) account is about to burst, this burst alert will be notified to the CC trading account, the investor can receive real-time, this must be understood by every trader.
At the same time, the trading platform can also see the CC account is about to blow up, as well as information about the investor.
So, when the trading platform knows that CC's account is about to burst, is it possible to send instructions to the website to invalidate this investor's deposit operation on the website?
From a technical point of view, this is very easy to achieve. Just send the CC information to the website's back office technicians and set the "Deposit" button to be invalid.
So, if there is a trading platform where an investor who is about to blow up his position wants to make a deposit, but when he clicks on "Deposit" on the website it does not work, it is possible that the platform has been "set up".
However, if the click on "deposit" is effective, and there is information on the deposit channel, you can achieve the deposit, but because of the "time difference" problem, the investor did not deposit funds immediately to the account and cause a blowout, it has nothing to do with the trading platform.
Therefore, investors can record (video) the deposit process on the trading platform's website and click on the "Deposit" button to see if it works, so as to determine whether the trading platform is "malicious" in interfering with the investor's deposit, and whether it needs to compensate the investor's losses.
