Well, it was all looking so grand until that outage happened. image So that was quite alright. A little bit of down time that was rather manageable I think for my particular brand of trading. But then the following! What on bloody earth ...

Just an update in regard to what I've been seeing with 4xwatch monitoring tool. So far today, the connection has been much much more stable as you can see below. In comparison to my previous screen shots, I have had very little disconnection time ...

I could care less about MT5 until the servers are working properly. MT5 will be neat in its own way but if the servers are still crap, then who cares of GO has MT5 or not?

Hey Joseph, it's called 4xWatch. I'm not sure if I''m allowed to post the website's address so just google 4xWatch and it should be the first link that comes up on a google search. Just an update, I am continuing to suffer connection problems and ...

Yup, FXCM has most every option under the sun so long as you don't mind dealing with a company that when forced to pay for slippage on American accounts, opts to not do same for all of their account holders world wide. An unethical broker can offer ...

Sorry for the delayed response. This is on a VPS I run with Commercial Network Services out of their San Diego offices. I have complete faith in CNS but my faith in GO is unfortunately deteriorating which is worrisome because I don't know where else ...

Well, after an initial couple of hours of niceness, this is now actually quite horrible. As you can see below, I'm up to 33 minutes of total daily down time so far and server connection has been flipping more often than a mad McDonalds burger cook.

I've now experienced a second disconnection and was switched from Sydney to Melbourn. What the heck?

GoMarkets Discussion

I'm not trying to dispute any problems others are having. No need to disagree with me, it was just an observation. since the firewall maintenance, I have now experienced one disconnection under 30 seconds according to 4xWatch which I have ound to be ...

Hmm, I've experienced the smoothest connection I've ever seen with GO since they performed maintenance on the firewalls. Just about a minute or so shy of a solid 2.5 hours of an uninterrupted connection to DC1.

Have experienced several outages today and also was connected to the SD servers again. Terrible. This increases my average latency by about 150-200 milliseconds at least. In total, my platform has either had to switch or reconnect to one of the DCs ...

I'm curious to know more about your trading strategy as your explanation at FPA was a little dodgy. Something about hedging your positions at one broker against the positions you hold at another broker? Are you using arbitrage trading or something?

LiteForex Block My Account & Steal My Profit!

After reading here, I decided to purchase 4xwatch to monitor my connection to GO because I'm very often not able to watch it myself. What I've seen so far is actually fairly disconcerting. I'm still collecting info on this and haven't experienced ...

GoMarkets has an Lplate account which has a maximum initial deposit of $1,000 and trades with $100 lots.

Metatrader broker with $100 lots?

Not to simply blithely defend GO here though I don't think any attacks on them is really merited at this point RE: rebates but have you ever heard the saying, "you get what you pay for" before? I don't trade with rebates so this doesn't affect me ...

If that is accurate, perhaps it has something to do with GM being on that giant island littered with wallabies and kangaroos. Australia does after all have only two connections to the world wide web through South East Asia and North America. Perhaps ...

Quoted for truth. I hate to bash on poor Jason here because he's only a messenger but what he's been told to bring as a message about this slippage issue is just plainly pathetic and disgusting to me as a trader. Seriously, it's amazing to me that ...

Hey Chris, Since you didn't answer my previous post in this topic, maybe you'll catch this one. Since someone has bought up mobile trading, is there any chance you guys might be able to consider some kind of partnership with XoGee trader at ...

But no refunds for previous ill performance. Again, this is a very clear act of bad faith on the part of FXCM. I used to speak rather lowly of those who would bash FXCM on what I thought were frivolous grounds. Being one of the biggest players in ...

Wow, so is this now a very clear indication that customers may be treated differently depending on what jurisdiction they are in? I mean, naturally, customers from jurisdiction to jurisdiction should expect some minor differences but this would be a ...
