And, no, they don't hunt stops but they definitely widen spreads during high volatility news periods, which is common to all brokers because backend banks do the same.

Me too, no problems that weren't sorted out swiftly and satisfactorily. The widening of spreads like FXGenius says is not unusual for non-bucket shops, it's the fixed spread brokers you have to be careful of, they need to make their money somehow!
Hunting stops by large players is common practice, perhaps people need to learn the game and how their opponents play to benefit from this practice instead of being a victim of it.
