are u referring www.instaforex.com FPA marked them as Scam

lol, FPA, where disgruntled masses bleed their hearts out. Every single broker will encounter some sort of scam review, god help them if they got lots of account holders, heaps of opportunity to get a few stuff ups and a scam review.

Anyway, doesn't change the fact they are regulated by the RAFMM, though the efficacy of the regulation is cause for concern.

Hi,

As mentioned in my previous post we are in talks with 3 new well known liquidity providers.

Obviously we will keep you in the loop and let you know who we partner with.
Also as mentioned we are looking to add a 3rd purely ECN with depth trading platform to add to MT4 and MT5. this platform will be software and web based and importantly mac compatible.
We are in the final stages of discussions and we will release details when available.

Thanks

Hi Chris, either I can't find it or it wasn't mentioned, for curiosity's sake could you mention which lp you partnered with?

And any update on the move to ecn with depth to mt4 and mt5?

I feel as if Go gets too criticized, so to add some positivity to this thread:

Amazing spreads this week.

I've seen it go as low as 0.1 today. What more can you ask for?

Average seems to be about 1.2-1.3 for me during Frankie session

Turns out my first post about the better spreads yesterday wasn't 'too soon', just soon lol.

Across the majors the spreads are consistently keeping in par with other brokers.

EA captures spread at time each order is placed to track slippage. I've been seeing 1.2 avg with lows of 0.7 and 1.8 range. I caught a 0.4 pip spread on eurusd once and a couple of zero pip spreads. 0.0

will all hopes, this will be the "norm" for GoM.

14 seconds?

i've just run the script i upgraded from rooicol and it took just under 2 seconds to initially connect to the trade server, and then it's taking about 500ms +-100ms either direction on average for it to keep the connection alive.

sounds like there is a fat bottleneck somewhere between your pc and the trade server making it take ages to initially connect.

"just under 2 seconds" are you having a laugh???, 2 seconds for us scalpers is untradeable!

Go Markets should have just banned MDP instead of increasing execution times. Now everybody looses out.

Everybody already did lose out because of MDP, not because of a broker intentionally increasing execution time. I read a transcript of the founder of Pepperstone FX that talked about the problems some EAs can cause by flooding the market with an insane amount of similar sized orders at the same price. Even with their optic fibre server to LP connection, filling orders is difficult.

But let's say they did ban MDP, and the Fap eas, I'd bet there'd be the same amount of anger against a broker that puts a ban as one that has account holders thinking execution times are being intentionally fiddled with.

Spreads have returned to about 1-2 pips. Too bad about the slippage, but it looks like it's here to stay. Given that I use stops of 20 pips and tend to trade breakouts, this will make things more difficult, and if slippage isn't confined to within a few pips I'll have to shop around for another broker.

Impressive, GoM spreads have improved, the minute avg on fxintel across the majors, GoM is lower in all but Cad and Aud than Vantagefx,

I'm surprised there hasn't been any posts about this clear improvement.
I came back this evening to say that I am happy that the spreads are looking good from my perspective. I do only trade part time at this stage so I don't know what has happened all day, but credit where it is due, I am seeing it look ok now. I don't know about the time it takes, I am not that expert yet, so others may have feedback on that.

are you illiterate? read my post again.... 2 seconds for the initial trade server connection. after that it was about half a second (or somewhat a blink of an eye).

as for your scalping needs... spare me the drama.
