I am still having trouble selecting servers.
When I hover over the connection icon nothing happens--although last week it did. For some reason I could never fathom the icon is sometimes on the bottom left and sometimes the bottom right. It occassionally shows servers when on bottom right but never when its on the left???????????????? Any ideas?
Cheers
Hi,

Are you using demo or live? the live has got 5 DCs , if you cant see them log in again and click on the icon on the bottom right hand corner

Any problems give us a call as all is working fine

I had an EA that opened two trades during the very brief moments the server was responding to orders between 02:05 and 02:30...and then when the server was restarted at about 02:35-02:40, these two trades simply vanished! No record whatsover of them in my account history, my account balance was unaffected.

I got those two trades recreated OK, though and am moving on.
This is scary, your not worried about your trading with them when something like this happens?

Hi Iamfx & Chris

Being not-a-tech person, it is such "disadvantage?"

Now I know... where the locations of DCs!

Mine is at the right bottom (see the image).

Does it mean that I can switch to other DC as and when I like?

Cheers

Yes you can switch to whichever DC works best for you, normally the platform will automatically find the best connection though.

Hi,

You will have just been sent a message through the MT4 platform,
We want to connect to a faster internet connection on the new servers to make trading even quicker so we are doing this in about 15mins.
It will mean about 5 mins of downtime but as ever if you need anything call in but the extra speed should more than make up for it.

Cheers for your assistance

Unlike many other brokers, GoMarkets have a very good history of re-imbursing any stuff ups on their behalf.

All brokers or their platforms stuff up once in a while. The good brokers tend to fix up any financial difficulties caused by their stuff ups straight away.

Even the bigger brokers like IBFX, FXCM and ODL tend to be slower than GoMarkets.

most brokers do not have the constant disconnects, not to mention the delay in execution either that these guys have, ask yourself why the move was not done over the weekend? why now when their are open trades and the market is moving, i dont have an answer but i have been looking for a new broker i have now taken these guys out and have gone with this broker after all the disconnects, requotes and problems that never seem to get fixed only temp solutions

http://www.inovatrade.com/

only $1.50 per round lot traded commission, EXEcellent spreads and execution, no requotes no hassles and no BS about server moves during business hours and delay in trades, a true STP broker.
I have been looking for almost 1yr now for a good MT4 broker and could not be happier with the above broker.

sorry Chris but i have watched the problems persist for far too long with no real solutions it seems, good luck but you cannot compare the them.

anyone question my post? test both demos and open a small account live and test, there is no comparision.

are you for real, they look like a bucket shop with no regulation..... yeh let get 1.50 round turn till they run off with our funds, their site barley even works.... address in Panama, my god are you sane? You really hear it all on FF these days............

Yeh I like all other have been having a roller coaster lately BUT, have Go been there and helped me on every trade that was an issue, yes they have. I have had a three trades that messed up but Go cash corrected two and and reentered me on the third.

I can tell you now when things go wrong at Interactive Brokers it a whole different experience. One, no free call to the USA then 20+ min on hold to be told to put in a ticket, then a day or more later you get a result. At least with GM they pick up the call and help you out quickly.

Like mentioned Go have had a few probs of late but the difference is how they have handled it. No running off FF with heads in the sand.

I really can live without the issues but it's the way they deal with that keeps me a client, I'll be staying put for the time being.

Hi,

If any client had any problems or missed trades due to the backup switch then call us and we will happily rectify for you

Cheers
It's great that you will fix up trades affected, however I trade manually and rarely use pending orders.

Lets say I try to enter a trade but can't due to the platform being down, it's down for half an hour or so markets move 50-100pips, as the order is not in the system at all it would make it difficult to prove that I was wanting to enter at a given price.

Same if you were wanting to adjust Stop Loss while platform is down, if the platform has no connection would there not be any way prove you were trying make the adjustment.

Obviously if it's during the daily restart it can't be avoided, as you have pointed out all MT4 brokers must perform this restart, so can not be avoided, but you have indicated this should generally last no more than 5 mins.

Oh well there was a problem this morning, but over the 9 months I have been with you I have been happy with your performance, hopefully the changes you pointed out will make GoM even better.

I was thinking to open my third live acc with gomarkets therefore demoing it first to see their service level. However, since starting hours of today (GMT+1) their demo server gone down. I cannot even launch go trader comes up with crash details.

Live support person stated it would be fixed in about 10 mins or so. I just checked but same. I have couple other demo acc with various mt brokers and they all are working fine.

So, I'm not so sure opening a live account with gomarkets anymore. If a broker cannot maintain at least one reliable backup server then....
