Well, there are at least three other possibilities for you.

Look into forming an entity outside the USA, domiciled in a friendly country. Form, say an IBC (International Business Corporation) or otherwise and trade in the name of that entity. Since such corporations are a separate legal entity it will only require that the broker/dealer accept the Corp. as a customer.

If you're in a position to do so, get dual citizenship (yes, it is entirely legal) and none of this regulatory nonsense created for your "protection" will apply to you at...
Iam not sure about that, as far as I know if you are a US Citizen regardless of where you reside in this world you bound to those rules see CFD prohibition.

GoM - Chris,

Is the Fri/Sat GBPNZD spike down to 2.13158 at server (live) time 2010.09.03 22:58 real data or is it bogus that I need to correct for, and if so, to what price?

Thanks, Rich

Hi Rich,

It appears to be real, but only down at those levels because of close of market illiquidity causing bigger than normal spreads. I dont expect there to have been many trades executed at those levels, but just a few bid prices being sent through from the traders in London/NY looking forward to their beer...

Hi Guys,

Just thought I would let you know that we are currently running on our backup server as part of a scheduled check of our disaster recovery systems. The backup server is located in Singapore, so if you notice a different connection/trading speed to normal. If it seems slower than normal, then it may be beneficial to try one of the other DCs, such as DC1 which is in Singapore.

Do you mean the dollar index? Currently I don't think we have any plans for that.

Hi,

Just to let you know, we are switching back to main server later today but we have had reports after some initial testing that the backup server is running smoothly and that dc1 and 5 seem to offer best connection but obviously it will differ depending on location.

DC1 is our Singapore based Data centre. If you click once on the connection status you will see 4 DCs losted and the ability to rescan the servers.

Further form the previous post, now fully integreated the backup server is running with the same perfromance as the main server, so we may continue to run this for a few days in order to satisfy more testing.

We will let you know if anything else changes.

For Gomarkets, have you plan to translate websites into other languages (spanish, italian, french ..) for International users and European users, and you have idea for the future of even entering in the futures markets with platforms like Ninja Trader / Strategy Runner / Pathfinder or others, or is a market where you do not plan to enter?

Thanks

I was told that Gomarkets has a server in San Diego, CA USA.



Most MT4 brokers HAVE a few different SRV. files within the CONFIG setup in the Metatrader folder. Gomarkets only has one. Why is this?

I have these servers in the connection window status.

DC1-
DC2-
DC3-
DC5-Currently connected

I live in California. What server is in CA, USA?
What server is the MAIN?
What server is the back up?
What server is the most reliable?


Are Server issues common? After skimming over 60 pages comments, I hope to have some solid answers.

Why are REAL customers not notified with these Server issues and Only the FF community Thread is Up to date. Can i request to be put on a mailing list so, you can contact me immediately about current issues instead of hearing about issues on a NON Gomarkets website?

It is important to make a distinction between a MetaTrader server and a MetaTrader data center. We have live MetaTrader servers (of course, we also have seperate servers for backups and demos), but we are currently running four data centres. With MetaTrader the data centres allow clients to connect to them which takes strain off the main servers and should help to provide a faster connection and execution for everyone. Of the DCs you listed above, none of them are the main or backup servers. Clients do not connect direct to the servers, but through one of the data centres.

As for our reliability, of course like any other broker we it is possible to have occasional IT issues, but over the last 12 months we have only had around 8 hours of downtime, which makes it about 99.8% uptime, which I think is pretty good. We do not have any issues, but are running our backup as part of our scheduled testing of disaster recovery. We are also currently in the process of upgrading our systems and more information will be sent out once available.

We did send out a message to clients through the MetaTrader, rather than through email and we will continue to keep clients informed of any changes.

It would be way better to get messages through email than through the platform mailbox.

what about the other Two Data Centers (DC)?

""Dear Client,

As you will be aware, the trading server for all MetaTrader4 providers is required to perform a daily optimisation and restart in order to preserve the health of the trading server. Previously we had set the scheduled daily restart to be at 02:50 server time (10.50am AEST), which coincides with one of the quietest periods of the day for trading volumes. However, recently we have had a number of clients request that we change the restart time in order to avoid the increasingly busy mid-morning Asian session. Following these requests, we analysed typical trading patterns and were able to find a more suitable daily restart time, which is designed to have a minimal impact on trading. From now on, the live trading server will perform a daily restart at 06:00 server time (2.00pm AEST).

Any one having issues with Go markets right now??

I made a few successful scalps . execution was perfect. and Now my connection to DC 5 is pulling in 55kb-77kb, while 3 other REAL account brokers are all normal. (Above 1300kb).

I have had 6-10 disconnects, freezes and gaps on my tick charts and 1min candles ONLY on GO.. This is testing day 2. Yesterday, execution was slow, but today execution is FAst until I made 3 successful Scalps... hmmm..
I will provide Screenshots , myfxbook verification and i'll find that EA that records disconnects ... I'll be back.

There are more than 1 reason for this frustration. The biggest, is that I use Dukascopy MT4 bridge. If I get a 5 second Fill delay, my Duka account is filled the second I hit the trigger, while MT4 lags.. That doesnt bother me much, but having disconnects and freezes.. If I can not send an order, my duka account does not get the order as well. GIve me the Delay, But keep me connected!
