DislikedAnyone has better execution speed < 1 second?
I still see high execution speed around 3-4 seconds...Ignored
DislikedExecution is always ~ 300 ms, even if you are where i am (UK), provided your MT4 platform is connected to the live trader server and not just the data centre. If you are closer to live trading server it should be even less. The reason you get slow execution speed is because your MT4 platform drops the connection with the live trading server EXACTLY 30 seconds after the last order was placed/ modified with the live trading server, MT4 then reverts to the data centre. To then place a trade MT4 must first connect to the live trading server, this takes...Ignored
DislikedNo worries, it won't last. I'm done with them. Apologies for showing my way of thinking. Looks like we all have to think like you or you'll be kind of uncomfortable, doesn't it?
So as more brokers are shitty and are widening spreads, that means that GoMarkets have reduced their "shitty" rating? That's a pretty demagogic way of thinking, but hey... it's your money and you. Why don't you think the opposite, that many brokers are still showing decent spreads?
"I GOTTA SHOW SOME PATIENCE"??? Is it written in any legal body, customer agreement,...Ignored
Dislikedthat's cool that you came to this conclusion. have you ever checked to see if the list of ip's you are connected to changes during this time window to confirm this? also, how do you go about maintaining this connection? you obviously can't be sending new orders constantly to keep the connection alive... and from this, i wonder if one can't manually preempt the connection by altering the trade history window (unless this only comes from the data center, which is reasonable and likely).Ignored
DislikedThe data centre you are connected to doesn't change during this time (as seen bottom right corner of platform), "List of ip's" I'm not sure what you are referring to with that. I have used three methods to maintain connection. One works by modifying the tp of a pending buy limit I use at price eurusd 0.0001, it raises the tp by one pip every 29 seconds. Sometimes having this pending order can interfere with other scripts I use, so in that case I use an ea that places, and then deletes, a pending buy limit every 29 seconds. There are easier ways...Ignored
Dislikedi was referring to i.p. addresses... as in, i would think you would see a new connection during the times you are supposedly connected to the live server. but now that i think about it i realize that the data center is onforwarding from the live server and we never connect to it, so it's a moot point and i'm just tired and not thinking.
which brings to the next point. that's clever altering a pending that is impossibly far from market. i should have worked that one out myself, but i truly am half-asleep and my brain is not working at all....Ignored
DislikedYeah, it is still work in progress, and if anyone has some ideas as how to do it better i'd appreciate that, i'll upload a copy of the ea code shortly, i've been meaning to incorporate a magic number into it, but it just takes time, as i will have to alter all my other scripts.Ignored
Dislikedjust place pending EU sell limit at 2.00 and change tp between 1.00 and 0.50 , do it for 100 lot , if executed it's jackpotIgnored
DislikedJust being pedantic, but the maximum order size on Go is 20 lots, so the order would be rejected.
In other news, I've had enough and opened a Vantage FX account today, where the EU spread has been around 1.3 pips all (Aus) day.Ignored

DislikedThe main thing for me looking at alternatives has been to keep my account in AUS dollars. That pretty much limits me to Aus brokers. Go, Vantage, AxiTrader, Pepperstone, PureTrade, any others?
AxiTrader spreads aren't that flash.
Pure trade's demo doesn't even work - that instills confidence!
Pepperstone doesn't even offer BPay as a funding option? Which is just like your local Chinese takeaway that only takes cash - would you trust them with your savings?
That pretty much just leaves Vantage.
Go were great until they started fiddling...Ignored
