Compared to their average customer, I would imagine their opinion would be yes.

I have been known to be a problem customer too, don't take it too personally. I think it just tells you it's a bad fit and go elsewhere.

Am I a problem customer? Well ok!

As soon as i execute a trade, 90% time, market went against me.

maybe it's a toxic fill. Or maybe you were on the wrong side of the trade!

I assume that you don't trade futures. In forex markets everything is possible - stop with it. In non-thin futures markets nobody try to move the market against a single person/entry/stop.

I only trade ES & NQ futures. Sometimes GC.

Quoting 
I am also not allowing anyone ... to trade with me or against me.

I came up with a long winded post about the differences between CFDs and Futures and how broker-side stop hunting only makes sense for CFDs since the broker is your counterparty. Then I reread your post and realized that you don't want to trade, so it was appropriate for your brokers to close your accounts.

P.S. The SEC doesn't regulate futures, forex or cryptocurrency.

I don’t see how any single retail trader is going to have the capital trading futures to be the target of big banks, algos, etc and be counter traded against but what do I know

The truth is that it's easier to blame somebody for a failure than to take responsibility.

Everyone,

I'm closing this thread. It seems to me the original poster was just flat out wrong and confused between CFD forex and futures.

I also changed the title from "The truth about..." to "Futures vs CFD...".
