Talk is Cheap, Actions speak louder than words.

Go Markets has been full of it for quite a while now and I am sure I am not the only one that feels like a dill for waiting so long and giving them way too many, one more chances to fix things.

More accounts getting closed should strike a chord or two.

NO MORE chances GO. BYE BYE

Chris,
Is the speed issue due to the location of your Liquidity provider? i.e. the speed of getting our orders through to them from your servers?

Where are they located?

Just curious to know what actually happens when we press 'Buy' or 'Sell' before our order gets filled.

They have very 'interesting' affiliate program. They pay $30 for each new client. This is ok, if a referral opens $200 account, but what is he will open the 100K account?

I criticised GO always when it was appropriate.
Right now I have to say: Chris you have done a great job.
Execution has never been faster, no freezing at all.
About the DC flipping I don't know..cant watch it around the clock. Is it fixed?

gee's that sounds like what my platform last month ... seems vice versa now? sounds like a vps host... where a number of clients are stored on a particular machine and if that machine breaks down, those clients go along with it

Well, after an initial couple of hours of niceness, this is now actually quite horrible. As you can see below, I'm up to 33 minutes of total daily down time so far and server connection has been flipping more often than a mad McDonalds burger cook.

Hi,
I mainly buy the high and sell the low of M5 candles.
Just before the close of a candle (lets say 1-10 sec before) price often sits at the high or the low of the candle I want to trade.

My workaround for a pending order would look like this:
(provided, that the market does not move more the 2/10 of a pip)

buy
if (Bid+0.0002 > CandleHigh) BuyStop = Bid + 0.00022 + spread;

sell
if (Bid-0.0002 < CandleLow) SellStop = Bid-0.00022;

Will this work with the real servers as the demo servers donīt care for a minimum pending order distance.

Cheers

Thomas

same. i had an hour or 2 when i first started mt4 where the connection was nice, then about 5 or so hours of absolute crap missing almost all ticks per candle and about 4 or so reconnects. then it got nice again the last hour or so... then i had to reboot my pc due to non-mt4 issue.

the funny thing is, just like yesterday, the quality flipped almost precisely on the hour from good to bad. so for me it's either my isp doing something retarded at certain hour turnovers, or GO doing something similarly retarded on an hourly turnover.

are you on wireless, or router, or is this on a remote pc you log in to?

Sorry for the delayed response. This is on a VPS I run with Commercial Network Services out of their San Diego offices. I have complete faith in CNS but my faith in GO is unfortunately deteriorating which is worrisome because I don't know where else I'll go. I think Pepperstone may be my only option but I would rather just stick with GO if they can just shape up a little.

Chris,


Hope we are now over with Glitches because seriously I loved Go markets but I reached my limit over connection drop.

So now what about Metatrader 5? & Metatrader 5 demo? Are you finally planning something?

Platform has been fine all day until 4:06pm AEST 6 mins after Frankfurt open and I hear the familiar 'Boing' of the disconnect/reconnect.

that, sounds familiar. so far i see on mine that it's never on the hour, it's usually a few minutes just past when it up and craps out and goes from good to bad.
