Hi GoMarket representative,

You probably missed this one... Could you please confirm that there's no order execution priority queue (when sending our orders to STP liquidity providers) based on individual accounts or account groups when filling orders?

Thank you..

My fd was with GO and got kicked out due to his EA was taking advantage of news latency. All the EA was doing was putting two stop orders before news release. Having said that I spoke with their live support and they welcome News traders. Thats interesting

Hi,

Could be a misunderstanding as we dont care what EA is used. have your friend contact us , we have no problem with trading around news time.

However our Liquidity providers frown upon toxic trading as is the same with most brokers i.e using sniping tools to take advantage of prices that are no longer available in the actual market , they would rather they not be used otherwise clients may find themselves being filled at the genuine price rather than the sniped price.

Thanks

There is no priority queue for clients when trading.
Of course though if thousands of individual clients are for example trading EUR/USD at exactly the same time on the same spike then our liquidity providers have to check volume is ok and fill the trades so the more people trading it at one split second may obviously mean execution could be around 1 second for some people which is in my opinion still an excellent processing time.

Thanks

Failed to understand how it is a sniping tool as it would be no different than placing stop orders manually , wouldnt whatever price you allow us to be filled would be at that price?

Whats about the promised Stop Level reducing? GO got rid of the IBs and cashback and nothing happens to compensate us.

BTW, execution times are good on some accounts, on others they are still bad..

Hi Guys,

I just thought I would let you all know that I am back from my trip now, so I will be back to answer your questions. I know my colleagues did a good job in helping you out in my absence, but I am sure you all missed me!

Whilst I was away we moved further in negotiations on a couple of things. I can let you all know that around an hour ago I signed an agreement for our new mobile apps. That means that within a couple of weeks we will have new Android, Blackberry, iPhone, iPad and web platforms available. Once we have a firm release date everyone will get all the details.

As well as being in discussions with a number of new liquidity providers, we are also talking to other providers about some alternatives for you all, and I would expect more news on that by the end of the month.

By the end of the year GO Markets will be a totally different animal, unfortunately not my favourite animal (a Liger if anyone is asking), but pretty damn good.

As always, if you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks,
Chris

OK this is now really frustrating..

I uninstalled MT4, cleared all logs, Reinstalled MT4 and EA and ran on my account which I made some bucks last few weeks with 300-600 open/exec/modify times..

Guess what? No improvement, infact it's gone worse.. From about 1200ms last week to now almost close to 1800ms.. One manual order yesterday (this is not during news times) took almost 3000ms to modify.

Then I tested two GoM accounts on same VPS, side by side! One account is my trading account, the other is a new account. Believe it or not, the new account's giving 300-600 exec and the old one 1000-18000ms.. Same VPS, Same ISP..

What's going on?

Please raise your voice if you too are experiencing increase in execution/open/modify times after you've made some $$ on your account. I don't think this is an issue for micro accounts so don't bother..

Thank you..

Can anyone comment on their "Order Execution" times and "Order Modify" times?

I used to have around 300-600ms order execution and modify and now it's about tripled!! It was worse yesterday and scalping has become impossible.

After the server/firewall upgrade everything was good for a week, with good pips (like the good old days), and good execution times. But since last week and more noticeably this week, it's gone worse!

I'm begining to wonder if the execution times can be adjusted by individuals, or if individuals can be placed...

To me this looks like a systematic f... up of successful traded accounts.
