I think demos expire after 30 days as well. That could be contributing to it not working for you.

If you have a funded account, even just the minimum, Pepper can setup any number of demos for you to use that don't expire. You just gotta email them with your demo account number.

So I got some word back from Pepper's support staff on the hick-up we had earlier this week.

Apparently it was caused by MetaQuotes pushing a server update for MT4 Server, which was unannounced and gets automatically updated without Pepper's intervention. (If you've been around long enough, you'll know that MetaQuotes loves pushing updates into the wild that break things horribly for clients as well.)

So the update didn't agree with Pepper's unique setup, and down she went..

I was told they had to manually roll back to the previous version of their server software to get it back up and running, and did so as quickly as they figured out what the problem was.. and blocked the update from being applied. They are working with MetaQuotes now to sort out the details and get a working update before it's applied again.

I bet that's frustrating when something gets pushed into production without you being aware. At least it's sorted out now, and despite it not being Pepper's fault, they've gone out of pocket to correct clients who were affected. So good on them.

Just wanted to share with you what info I beat out of Pepper with a few "polite" emails.

I must say that I am a bit surprised and happy to see no one complaning "yet” about how Pepper is resolving this. May be too early to say. But, I guess they are doing good by their customers.

If no one with a legitimate claim comes forward to complain, well…, they are more than all right then.

Happy trading all!

I read this and fell outrageuous from pepperstone's point of view - i wouldn't let a provider impose an automatic update to business primary IT service.

I agree (former IT worker myself,) it should be, and it was mentioned to me that Pepper's preference would have been to do their own QA and roll-out of updates, but apparently MetaQuotes is able to push updates to the server when they see fit.

I think they do it to force new feature updates on brokers, like the signal service they recently put into MT4/5 which allows signals to be executed even when the MetaTrader client isn't turned on.. so something on the MT Server must be put in place to take trade requests, and all brokers had to have this new feature when they rolled out the update to MT4/5 clients to include it. I'm sure a bunch of broker would have liked to forego such a feature and rather direct that desire of their clients to their existing copy-trade or social trading service in place (often something they already invested in or have a monetary interest in,) but MetaQuotes keeps a tight grip on the server software side of things.

Seriously speaking, the more I find out about MetaQuotes as a business, the less I like them.

Pepperstone eh, someone on another forum discovered he could make a profit on the swap payments using a triangle arb trading a SEK, EUR and JPY ring, safe to say, he was quickly shut down and his accounts closed by the broker/thieves, and pepperstone quickly changed their swap payments to kill the arb.

My Pepperstone a/c doesn't even offer SEK. If I had some trading strategy based on swaps and my broker didn't like, it we'd sort it out. They can't shut down your account without disclosure, it's illegal. I guess I'm lucky to live in Australia where these things are well regulated. If my broker pulled that shit, I'd fly down to Melbourne and personally kick his ass, with lawyers or fists.
When you open an FX brokerage account, it's a legally-binding agreement. If you have evidence that a broker has actually ripped-off money, contact your local financial regulators.
Otherwise please don't just repeat something someone else has said on a different thread!

Hi,

I don't have big problems with Pepperstone, some disconnexions but not so much; slippage, yes but with low spreads.

At least with other brokers you have other problems...

I just wanted to say i have a live account and see EURSEK in Fx Europe symbols... So the story is true or not you cannot say they don't offer 'SEK'.

Such a Profit style has nothing to do with trading, it's cheating. If I would be a Broker I would ban him immediately

Maybe but this is not really YOUR story so you cannot say it is true or not.

Don't push things you are not sure of.

Thanks.
