Hi! Anyone else experiencing these "freezes" last days? (demo server EURUSD). I have just had one that lasted some 3 minutes leaving a gap on the 1min chart.
I am testing a scalping strategy and was planning going live next week. It´s been like this for some 2 weeks... several freezes. Before that in general I was very satisfied with the servers stabilyt, execution etc..
For those using Live servers.. how stable are they these last days? Thnks

They have the worst servers at least at demo side real disaster many times connection loss during the day,and not only ,also real side account servers lack in quality,this at least for Europe. Is not about speed cos i have really big download and upload over 300mb on both.
In tickmill i never experienced such big lag and loss of connections so many times during one single day.
not always but sometimes and too many times i have even 30 seconds delay in manual execution,is really a mess. thats why i only play skinny account with them nothing serious,tickmill is way more better at the execution time and servers quality.

server dc or freezing is a major issue with ic markets unfortunately. Also during volatility dc or freezing happens and parts of candles doesn't print on charts. I've been comparing with other brokers for a long time and it seems that ic markets will never fix it. Today during news the platform didn't freeze but instead price didn't move on chart as it supposed to while ask line was moving because spreads were widening.

Attached two charts, the one with missing candles belong to ic markets, also notice how it effects the formation of next candles.

Very very bad. It was freezing then I can not protect my account. It took all the stop loss and margin call due to sudden spike and huge spreads!

Lately, it changed from "True ECN" to "Raw Spread" and this happened!

I am using IC markets one year and I didn't get any problem. Once I get problem with other broker, my computer was Ok and my connection was OK everything worked fine in MT4 with other broker, but I was not able to use that broker. Problem last for one hour, I conntact them and they say that problem is at my computer (I know that everything work fine). Fortunately I didn't get any lost because that.

I suggest you leave this broker. I have same experience last year with FXDD i cant login on trading server, i have reset my
password and try login but the server seems offline. Try contact the support and all the answer are same they say their server is fine the problem is from my computer.

This broker dishonest about their problem, try to cover up and blame my problem from my computer so i leave them.

Thank you for advice I have already done that. I could don't belive when they try to convince me that there was problem with my computer. I contact some other traders that use that broker, but none of them was trading when this happened so they could not confirm me problem with servers.

Why isn't anyone recording their trading sessions? In these cases, you should be recording your screen with bandicam or thundershare screen recorders continuously.


FYI, among all the recent bucketshop tactics that IC Markets has been called out on recently in FPA forum, you do realize that IC Markets quietly removed all references to being a "True ECN" from their marketing material. This was done shortly after ASIC announced proposed sweeping changes to retail otc CFDs a couple of months ago.

Yet a lot of people seemed determined to continue supporting this eToro derivative.

It's sooo bloody obvious!! I can see the quotes all of a sudden update rapidly then stop from 10 seconds to 50 seconds then rapidly update again over and over...but the market watch time is moving along normally!! WTF!!!. So definitely the live MT4 server is playing up.

not ic's fault. there is a market wide issue with XAU due to the lack of volatility in EFP gold.
