Hello,

As requested some backtesting data with our ticks not metaquotes is now available on our website.
This is not the definitve format for this and we will make it more streamlined soon but at least it gives you something to be getting on with.
We will also soon post the results of our poll on whether to change the opening hours or not.

Cheers

Didn't find the tick datas on your page...

Thankyou for informing us again.
Again it was only 106 clients , our co-location centre has been informed.
Again it is an ISP issue between our clients and the server so we have instructed our co-location to change the routing.
We understand that even though it was only 106 clients it can be fustrating hence we have ordered a re routing.

Cheers

Hello,

You should be able to find the tick data on our website by clicking on 'forex' and selecting 'historical chart data'
this is by no means the finished article but at least it gives you something to be getting on with.

Hi, just thought I would let you know we spoke to our hosting provider and have now arrnaged it so that the offending ISP has been routed as our lowest priority connection. Basically unless you specifically use or get routed through TelstraClear, you should now be fine, unless this route has to be used due to other being down etc.

Apparently TelstraClear have been DDOS attacked 8 times in the last 2 months!

Hi Guys,

For your information we have just sent out information about the fact that following client feedback, we will not be changing the opening of our forex week as 66% of clients were against any change.

On another note, has anyone used yet the backtesting data on our site? If so, is there any feedback on it?

GoMarkets,

I just noticed 2 more Data Centers added to live servers.

BTW so far the 'lost connection' is getting less frequent and if happened,very short spell.

Thanks

Yes, you are correct, yesterday we added two additional data centres. One in Melbourne, and one in Sydney. There will also be a perth DC go live as early as today.

These should help with speed, but also act as security for the main server. This will not be the end of this process, as we are upgrading all of our servers and relocating them so speed for most clients will be improved further.

On the subject of speed, admans, I notice the time of your message was just afetr the daily restart, is it possible you did that trade just as it logged back in from the restart? Has it only happened once, because as everyone will verify it has certainly been fixed a couple of weeks ago.

This is most likely a very dumb question, but as a newbie I need some help either way

I just installed the MT4 Go Markets demo and noticed that the pip movements and spreads are set at a much higher value. I have been playing on the FXDD demo platform and the pip movement there is normal. Now that I am getting more serious I have identified Go Markets as the final broker to test and eventually go with. Please let me know what I must do in order for the pip movements (and spreads) to reflect correctly on my installed demo. I know this is most likely a user error.

Many thanks!

Hi Guys,
Chris, you may like to answer this.
Just a nagging question: Can brokers send out different spreads for different traders?
Friday I decided to use the Trailing Stop in MT4 and scalp on the M15 chart, I would put on a trade and wait until I was in profit a few pips and click Trailing Stop. Sometimes the PA kept moving in my direction and I made good profit, sometimes it would come straight back and take me out for a small profit.
The spread was 1.1 to 1.8 and occasionally 2. After about 20 trades I noticed the spread was 2.5 to 2.8 and never came below that, even though the Volume was still good, thus halving my profit. I don’t remember this ever happening before; the spread is always in the 1 point something range and at times up to 2.2.
So my question again: Can brokers send out different spreads for different traders?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
