it's common for a demo account to expire after a certain period of time. I'm not sure if gomarkets does it or not, but FYI.

the best solution would be to not use this shared VPS at all. It is just too risky and restrictive - find a real VPS instead. You know it is funny how I even found out about it. I received an email from a Boston Technologies tech asking how to hide ...

there you go again Jason. You are not giving away a virtual private server. You are giving away shared access to a windows server. I am not sure you understand the difference but it is profound. You are putting at least two traders on the same ...

jason what you are offering is not a VPS. A VPS would mean it is a PRIVATE server. You are putting multiple traders in the same OS instance. This is a shared desktop, not a VPS. if it was a VPS then a trader could reboot their VPS. They can't ...

I tend to focus on the server side of things. It is not difficult to tell a junk broker from a good one just by the volume of support tickets coming into our helpdesk. Neither of these brokers have a history of technical issues and both have great ...

for what it is worth, we have many traders hosting their VPS in our NYC datacenter and trading with PFG. We have not received an unusual number of complaints at all. seems to be a good broker from what I see here.
