The most interesting thing is that I still have these 300,000 in my account. No one has taken them off me yet! = ) Actually, I still hope that I will be able to take everything away.
I just can't withdraw this money!
I think that the money was not written off in order to make money on you, to take your 78 thousand. If the account is now 378 thousand, then you may want to start trading huge lots on them. Then there are 2 possible outcomes: 1) you will merge everything or most of it, 2) you will make a huge profit.
In the first case, you will be additionally charged those zeroed 300 thousand, and it will turn out that you made a big drain from your own 78 thousand. It is possible that there will be nothing left of this money.
In the second case, you will be charged all the new profit, since it was obtained on the basis of non-existent 300 thousand. In the best case, they will write off 300 thousand, and all the profit received after the incident will be multiplied by a factor of 78/378.
But that's just my guess. I don't know how this broker will actually work. If you really did not use any vulnerabilities, and you were canceled fair trades because of their profitability, then the broker works on the model of a market maker. In this case, your profit is his loss and vice versa. Such brokers can even consider any deposits of clients as their own money, and they will hold on to this money in every possible way and do everything to ensure that the client does not withdraw them as long as possible. However, I have never heard anything bad about Pepperstone before, so I am very interested in how your story will end.
In general, trade with normal brokers who do not cancel profitable trades and work on the A-book model, not B-book. If you have caught a broker stealing and cheating, then do not give him a reason to deceive you twice. Go to another broker.
