How long does it take to verify accounts? Normally, it takes only a business day or two at most brokerages. It's been 5 days now and live chat and acct manager seem to be stalling around this issue. I suppose it may be busy around the office, but if the account manager can take the time to personally call me (twice) within 1 day of opening account, why couldn't he just verify the account right then or shortly after. All the documents are in place.

Most of the secondary things seems instantaneous (open up account, general questions, etc), but i am worried it might take as long for deposits/withdrawals. I'm a little nervous now.

It is usually done within a few business days. On rare occasions it may take longer either because the submitted documents require a translation, or because additional information/documents are required to finalize the verification. Please note that your Account Manager cannot verify your account because documents are collected and verified by our Backoffice department. I kindly ask you to send your account number to my email ([email protected]) so I could personally assist you in this case.

I would like to clear you doubts regarding the processing time of deposits and withdrawal. Deposits are processed instantly if you are depositing using electronic payment systems or with a credit card. Bank wires and money transfers are processed immediately upon receipt during normal business hours. Withdrawals are usually processed within one business day. However, if you choose to withdraw funds to your credit card or to request a bank wire, it may take 2-5 business days for you to receive the funds.

I hope was able to clarify your concerns. If you have any other questions, please post them in this thread or contact our Customer Support Department.

Best regards,
Andrey

Ok. I would figure that my account would be opened properly first (with Trading Point) before being upsold with additional offers. It's been over 1 week already and i'm waiting for support to respond. I hope audry can help; I have sent him email.

Question: what are the hours of operation for the 'day staff'? Meaning, when people are physically in the office and can respond to account inquiries?

The new website looks smooth. So is the transfer of account the same account number, or will there be a new account number issued?

Dear jajano,

The transfer will be completed within 24 hours. You will also receive a confirmation email from us.

You certainly can change the leverage and your account type. Please note that you if you want to change the leverage or your account type you must close all your open positions and do not open any new positions until changes have taken place.

Best regards,
Andrey

If you decide to transfer the account, your account number will remain the same.

Account verified . Switched account to xeMarkets, account # is the same. I see the 888:1 leverage showing up in the mt4 leverage function .

question: is there a daily maintenance period for your server where you reboot the metatrader platform? I noticed looking back through a chart where there was a non-weekend gap in prices. I am not sure

Where are your live and/or demo trading servers physically located? I'm showing appx 25ms latency to New York City, USA vps.

is it possible to trade with off-quote pricing? Or pricing that does not exist. How is this possible? I've seen this happen with several brokers recently.

It just seems impossible, unless there is a technical glitch in the trading platform or pricing platform that does this.

Dear ybfjax,

Our servers are up 24/5. We have several servers that are located in the United States and Europe. If you are looking at CFD charts, you will see gaps because most of these instruments are traded in session and gaps can happen in between trading sessions.

It is not possible to be executed at the off-quote/off-market prices if you are trading with us. We have implemented several security measures that prevent this kind of errors and guarantee superior execution at the best available market prices.

Best regards,
Andrey

There is generally one main / master trading server where the orders are matched up. And this will also usually be very close to liquidity provider server, but not always. For metatrader platform there can be several DCs located throughout the world. For minimum latency, the trader wants to place their VPS as close to the main trading server as possible. It looks
like it is near New York, USA according to my latency checks.

I asked about the offquotes thing as I was reading up on a couple of hacks that attempted to take advantage of off-quote pricing. Not a very long term solution to a good relationship with your broker, but could temporarily catch the broker off-guard.

Spreads are a bit high, but platform looks good overall.

http://www.xemarkets.com/trading-hours http://www.trading-point.com/forex-trading-hours . This needs to be updated to reflect the metatrader 4 times also. You need to remind clients that metatrader 4 time is 00:05 Monday to 23:59 Friday. Quoting time in generic GMT format causes confusion.

To avoid confusion, if you only want to list 1 time, then all of your times posted should be metatrader 4 market watch time or platform. This maintains consistency across the board.

I have certain "no-trade" times that I set in the EA based on what was put on the website (22:05 GMT Sunday - 22:00 GMT Friday) . I made incorrect assumption that the posted time applied to metatrader 4, which would have caused EA/indicator to possibly make incorrect calculation of time.

is it possible to have demo accounts with 1:888 leverage? I could not see this in the 'open an account' metatrader 4 options. The highest leverage was 1:500.
