I kept looking for it in the drop-down menus. But at the top of the site is also suitable place to put it.

I have run an IBFX demo account alongside a real GoM account and compared the rate that data is d/l. It seems that the demo IBFX account d/l data at roughly twice the speed that data come through on the real GoM account.

After about an hour and a half of having both running, the IBFX has d/l about 4mb of data, through to the 6 majors, and the GoM account has roughly 2mb of data through to 6 majors. I'm worried I may have some firewall issue blocking some bits of data coming in and so my MT4 platform won't be getting the best/full prices (and thus spreads) that could be coming through.

-> I'm wondering what rate are your GoM accounts receiving price data at? Mine is roughly 1.33MB per hour on 6 majors. So approx 220KB per major pair per hour.

-> Also what spreads are you guys looking at for USD-EUR,GBP,AUD? During the Euro/London and NY sessions? It's so rare to see any spreads below 1.

My execution times are getting worse by the week. Avg Exe time this week is 2100ms!! That's going from 400ms 4weeks ago to 2100ms!! I've already started testing on other brokers and I will be moving all my funds out soon...

I've raised this earlier and GoM have continually failed to do anything about it.

It cannot be helped but believe that they have some sort of a manageable queue where customers can be placed for liquidity... more money I made the slower it got, which trimmed my profits and made my trading harder everyday..

Others please comment if you've/are experiencing similar issues (only if your orders are 1lot or more pls..)

hmm interesting info I just started trading live so see how I go. Well I should mention that I was using dial up connection (@work) but that does not explain the freezing. @ home am using broadband speed seems ok

I particularly like the Web platform, and it may help all of you trying to find your way around office firewalls etc, not that I condone you doing such a thing of course!
You got me excited about this, but today, back at work I find it doesn't work through the corporate firewall. It must be trying to open up additional ports which are blocked. Just sits there saying "connecting" forever once I have entered my login details.

I have tried FXDD FXCM ODL Foxpro .......none of them can match Gomarket.

Their servers are located in Austra...and USA, you need to rent a VPS with 100mbs speed. It costs me 55 CNY (8 USD) per month.

Here is my ping to San D. server via my VPS in Cal.

If you dont want to use VPS I suggest you to try FXDD, they are doing well in recent years and their servers are all around world only the spread is too high (EUR/USD AVG 1.8-3).The reason I left.

Under 5ms speed the Execution time is 0.5 -1sec.

Cheers!

Thanks for your input.

Yea, I use VPS and my ping time is around 10ms. That has negligible impact on the increased execution times!!

When I started it was around 300-600ms with the same ping times to the server..

But after 4-5weeks like I've noted earlier execution times have grown almost 4-5times!!

May I ask what lot sizes do you trade?

I'm telling you the truth.

My platform isn't open 24/5, but what I've seen there hasn't been any freezing, only when refreshing and applying resource intensive indicators or templates.

How often do you guys see spreads below 1pip?

If you count 10sec how much data is d/l per pair on your guys accounts? Maybe a small bandwidth is a factor for slow orders as prices you see have gone from current prices and the servers have to wait for the price again or slip.

Yea I guess the lot size is what matters, not the number of lots per month..

If you trade 10-100 lots, I think the execution is slow.

But think in another way, you can split your account in ten small ones, no execution problems anymore.

one question:

How large the spread will be widden during big news time? let's take EU as example.

Unfortunately I don't have a 7digit account to run 10-100 lots, however I run 1-2 mostly..

Spread is largely controlled by liquidity providers, not the brokers.. Cheap broker tricks like spread widening, stop hunting are so 2008 I'm sure they've figured out smarter ways to do things now..
