Hi MaryJane,

I think it is something that everyone should know....
wow, really ?
doesn't really matter; i've got forexlive/mni via rss tray reader updated every minute.. i don't watch news in mt4. but it would probably enhance your reputation if there was nothing at all instead of that what there is.

but Go seems to be a honest broker,
i'll give it a try with a small account.

regards,
mary/.

Can i trade with GoMarktes from the US?

Hi,

Don't know if this is the right place, but I received a message over the weekend to update my MT4 to build 402. I was on 401. Once 402 is installed it would not open. When I re-install 401 everything is OK.

Does anybody else experience the same problem? This happens with both my Live account installation and my Demo account installation (I have 2 separate installations on my PC).

Regards

Can i trade with GoMarktes from the US?
Hi,

Unfortunately we are not able to accept retail clients that are residents of the United States. We would of course love to have US clients, but the very strict rules put in place last year by the CFTC mean that a US resident can only trade with a broker regulated by the CFTC. You may have seen some non CFTC brokers have legal proceedings taken against them recently because they have ignored the restrictions.

We constantly monitor the situation with the assistance of our legal team, but at this stage it is a no. If the rules do change, we will look to accept US clients as soon as possible, but I do not know if there is going to be any change to the rules in the near future.

There is an exception to the rule, for Eligible Contract Participants. These clients are ones who have net assets in excess of $10,000,000 and as such are deemed to be exempt from the rules. If you want more information on this, let me know.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi boerseun,

I would be interested to know if anyone else has had the same problem? I am running 402 on my live and demo and it went through fine. That is the same for another couple of broker's platforms that I also run for comparison.

If there are a number of you with a problem, I will see if MetaQuotes know anything about there being an issue.

Thanks,
Chris

MT5 is pure bullshit.
You are informed about the single position feature for pair of MT5?
With MT4, if the server broker agree, I can open many orders in only one second.
The issue of MT4 is not certainly speed.

I'm asking because I find the order entry with MT4 to be a hassle. I mean...why can't I set a predefined profit target + stop loss when placing a market order with one click ?

I know that there are tools with which you can place SL /TP orders on the screen but am not sure how stable they are and whether GoMarkets accepts them.

Hi Traderlarry,
Go to GoMarkets at the link below and look at MYFX. It will do all and even more than what you are looking for.

I am running one EA on a few live accounts, 2 brokers.
This morning something very strange happened with the Expert Advisor green button on the terminal. It has changed from green to red. I did nothing to the computer or the platforms, actually, I wasn't anywhere near.
This has happened on both brokers (one is GoMarkets), but only on some platforms. Did this happen to anybody else? What would be the reason for it to happen?

Thanks for your help

Best regards

This is strange. Except you click it (or press Ctrl+E), the button also turns red if you switch to another account or change your profile, unless you uncheck the relevant boxes in mt4 Options:

http://i51.tinypic.com/1z3z61e.gif

They are checked by default. You told you did nothing so the only thing coming to my mind is some weird circumstance in communication between your br0ker and mt4 - possibly some kind of disconnect - and mt4 assuming the account / profile has been switched. Unchecking both 'Disable' boxes should solve your problem. Hope it helps.

Hi,

This is not a problem I have heard of before, but my only thought is that it may be caused if you were 'offline' for an extended period. Maybe if your internet at home was disconnected for a while, it may disable this kind of thing.

If it was just us, or any one broker for that matter, it would be perhaps different, but as you were running more than one broker and experienced the same thing, it would seem to be something connection based.

I will ask around and see if anyone else has seen that issue and then let you know.

Thanks,
Chris

This is likely it. If the poster's EA options settings are set as above screenshot, then either accidental keystroke/mouse click or switching of accounts was cause. Or you have EA programmed to disable all expert advisors in the terminal once certain conditions are met.

Hi Chris,

Why Datacenter are DC2 DC3 & DC5. Those names may mean something for you but why you don't rename them to

DC5-Germany
DC6-UK
DC1-Australia

So customers easily see that & what DC to pick without looking at faq or asking support.

So news feed changing?

Thank you everybody for replying to my post.
I am using EAs for a few years now.
I know how to have the Options/Expert Advisors boxes unchecked.
That was the first thing I have checked. All was OK - just as you suggested.
Actually, yesterday, as I was sitting in front of my screens, I have seen the Expert Advisor button occasionally flickering between red and green at the speed of approx. every 5 seconds.

Chris, your explanation seems to be the probable issue.
But, to my knowledge, I had no issues with the internet connection.
As I said, I am trading for a few years now, and I know the basic rules for operation of EAs. This has never happened to me before.
I will appreciate if you ask around about it.
I know, it's not a broker problem since it happened also on another broker platform. But you have the connections.....
BTW I am very happy with GoMarkets.

Cheers everybody
