After many years of trading, really I don't believe anymore on stop hunting at least on most MT4 brokers, if that happen good arbitrage opportunities will appear.

In my particular case I never had problems of that type on IBFX although I had others like platform freeze, many times, or orders go beyond the TP without execution etc, but those problems were isolated enough that today I prefer think they were technicals problems an not intentional situations. Anyway, my profitability was not affected, I don't use stops, at least not traditional ones, and I trade small (relative to account balance)

Don't overleverage, trade small and use mental stops. that's all.

We, as small traders have more flexibility than brokers and big traders.

Totally Agree with Project. well said.. I have also seen myself many of the traders i chat online, they overleverage there positions, which brings them heavily in risk of loss.
I trade with 50:1 or 100:1 leverage, and work things in discipline with money management techniques, hedging positions and such.
The main thing is always finding a right forex broker with good support good execution, good deposit/withdraw facilities, if you have all that, and your expertise in discipline of trades, no emotional fall back and such alike. i am sure success is around near you.

I use :

Market orders to open. Market orders to close.

No stoploss orders. No take profit orders.

That keeps 'em honest.

LOL you use nothing other than markets?

Ok so I'm not a big conspiracy theorist about feed manipulation and all that, and I have been off the ball as far as trading goes today, but I thought it was strange that price went exactly to my stop level and then back to normal. Its also not on my MIG demo so just thought I would check if any of you IBFX traders had a similar spike/misquote/whatever on your EURUSD 1m charts around 19:40 server time on October 8.
