I'll re-word it. Price feed now freezing for up to 30 seconds at a time. Account AUD. Syd or Melb no difference.

I've now experienced a second disconnection and was switched from Sydney to Melbourn. What the heck?

It seems you get your good hours and days and your bad hours and days. There seems to be no pattern.

I think moving/having the main trading servers closer to hedging partner's physical server location will work out better. I don't think keeping them in AUS is doing any justice.

Placed 3 orders tonight two took an average of 10-12 seconds 1 took 4 seconds to execute. Also had numerous 3-4 disconnects

I'm glad this is finally be resolved and no longer being told the problem is on our end. I'm sure it will be sorted by Monday. It looks like its top priority now. As for me I have closed all my trades and only trading on my other broker till its all smooth sailing again on GO. I'd rather be safe then sorry, I have full confidence in GO that whether it takes 2 days or 2 weeks that it'll be all sorted out soon.. If it turns out not to be firewall related, opening a new server hub closer to their LQ not in OZ would be a nice step in a good direction for long term sustainability of the company

Have had really slow order execution today. one Took 24 seconds, average 10 -12 seconds, and that's just stuff like changing SL or TP on an existing limit order. :/

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Closing even the last client's account i was trying after your servers improvement!
IT'S NOT POSSIBLE TRADING THIS WAY!
It's even better a market maker, a bucket shop is always a bucket shop!

YOU CAN'T FOOL THE TRADERS THIS WAY!CMON!!
Why the Market Makers call themselves Brokers???

Trades taking 10+ seconds to be filled.
Disconnects.........

Only had this acct with GoMarkets for 3 weeks. Was under the impression they are/were one of the better FX providers.

I hope that these problems are fixed this weekend or I will be taking my trading back to CME Futures.

Alpha that is what everybody thinks when open an account @gomarkets...
I'm really sorry coz I liked em so much 1 years ago...They had the best fill on the MetaTrash I had ever seen...great spreads and huge liquidity!!
Now i don't know what's happening....it's more than a month that the spreads have been widened and the execution is crap.....

u know,it only started happening for me start of this month.. been with them for 3 months and it was fine for news trading and i havent change me trading method in anyway. Its either delay for few seconds up to 15 seconds for order entries or the whole graph just freezes for a whole minute or server disconnects right at news time. I had one time trading two accounts with under the same server and one station's graph froze while the other one was still moving fine, if it wasnt for that other station I wouldnt of known whether i was profiting or losing on my 1st station. Maybe they are starting to blacklist news traders.

eg: Just now, tested the execution on a GBP 6:30pm trade and guess what? Buy order delayed for 3 seconds while the sell order delayed for 15 seconds right after the spike came down already and back up

ScalperOne, I'm totally with you on this one. Chris, FIX IT & FIX IT QUICK!!!!! GO's reputation is going down the drain faster than your execution speed

Ive been with GoMarkets for two and a half years, the disconnects lately are a big concern for me, the other night I was scalping the EURUSD and was disconnected and once re-connected price had moved against me, the disconnect lasted at least 60 seconds enough time to ruin a positive trade, Im affraid to scalp with this broker now and also the minimum stop/limit is 2 pips which makes trading the close of 15min candles frustrating!!!!!!!!


GoMarkets please sort out your issues and provide better service, our investments are at stake!

No use putting more oil on the fire, but I am in NZ and am connected to San Diego, while I specified Sydney!

A buzy, do or die weekend ahead for Go.
