MT4 Frozen

I'm new to MT4. I downloaded it off of SBFX last week and I'm using the demo. Everything was working out great until this morning at around 4:29 EST or 11:29 on MT4 (whatever time zone this thing runs on), when it froze. Right now the time should be 15:07, but it still says 11:29. I searched the forum for ideas...I tried getting a new demo account and I also re-downloaded the software, but its still saying the same thing. Is this just a case of the MT4 demo account server going down or is this likely something on my end? If its their server going down, how long does this usually last? I have other charting that I use, but I like MT4 for certain indicators that would be either difficult or costly to have on other services.

Hi,

Its the server going down, mines the same, I run 4 lots of MT4 which gives less pc load than one with lots of charts, it also gives you some backup in case one goes down, there are lots but the 2 others I use are North Finance and WHC Trader, exactly the same software just different brokers but with demo accounts this is not a problem.

Only thing you will notice is the server times will be different depending on where the it is based, North Finance I think are in Russia.

If you have problems, contact your broker immediately. Take the action you would take if you were trading live. If your trading and your charts are acting up, take the proper action... contact your broker.

Good Luck
