I think a combination of 3 things:

1/ velocities main liquidy provider (forex liquidity llc) went bankrupt beginning december.

2/ The NFA fined them big times about claims made in june.

3/ They didn't met the increased capital requirements

Conclusion:

I was satisfied with velocity4x and had no issues with them in the 2 years I had live accounts with them.

With forex.com I had in 1 month more issues then I ever had with all brokers I use together.
At first I was happy that a big broker was going to use metatrader 4, but when all mergers will be like this I don't think MT4 has a bright future.
