Quoting The River
I am so over these freezes in the Pepperstone feed. I've loved Pepperstone except for this issue (and no...it is not my internet connection as I have other broker feeds open at the same time without the freezes Pepperstone has on multiple occasions every day.)
Got to say I'm having them too. Watching on a 1 minute chart, it only happens when I'm waiting for price to break a level. It's not a coincidence. Just lately.

Too many freezes lately:

I tried both webtrader / metatrader.

Yesterday I had to reconnect at least 6 different times.

I'm thinking of switching...

It's so frustrating because Pepperstone have been great in every other way.: competitive spreads, security of ASIC regulation, good leverage, extremely reliable withdrawals.....

To me the problems appear to be occurring when the market is moving fast- is it volume related? Feed can't handle the traffic?

Whatever it is, it has cost me money on more than one occasion, so it's a BIG problem which they seem to deny exists.

I'm an Aussie fulltime daytrader who trades reasonable size (5 to 10 lots on average) and I'd like to continue to support them, but I'm thinking I might move on.

It's not a volume or news thing. It's been happening during asia when price breaks through a level. I trade simple 1.2.3 breakouts. The odd thing I've noticed is my order will be stuck but price is moving on the tick chart, then my order will go through and price will have jumped to a less than favorable price. It's only been recently, and like you I am happy with everything else. I'll start taking notes and screenshots.

The funny thing is, I once clicked the sell button let say at 124.90, at the exact same time the whole thing froze. In the meanwhile the price moved up to 124.95. After the price started to move again and the order was processed, it got filled at 124.90.

While on my EUR/Y screenshot I sold at 125.30, but the order got filled at 125.20

So I never got this thing happen in my favour.

Anyway, I wish good luck to everyone here. Eventhough their withdrawals, spreads and regulation are ok, this isn't worth it.

Thks Bogus, CindyXXX, PipCruiser, Patience, Jack, Alpha, Diogo, j4d and all the others who have shown support, and even the ones who are sorta scared to show support. I understand. Don’t know why, But I feel I need to tell you that I will no longer post in this forum. After having stepped on my self-respect quite a bit and tried to contact Twee, well this was the one and only reply I got.

Ramy, the jig is up as I have informed your crew.. Please don’t add insult to injury by continuing to waste our time with this, your damaging all credibility and move on to another forum bud.

Just a quick smartass response. I do not feel like this is the kind of forum I would like to keep on contributing too and help grow. And will be moving on from this point. (some of you might be happy, lol. ). They sorta have liberated me, I was spending way too much on time on these forums. And for what, I mean really. Was so mad that I had everything set up with multiple usernames and wanted to flash bash multiple threads, lol. Think I was really pissed, never been so insulted in my life. But then it hit me, It’s a forum not real life. It’s just sad that it had to end this way. I can only speculate on why they chose this route and your guess is as good as mine. Although I still feel that it is because paying competitors where being bothered by our activity (out of our own free time). And i am the one with a credibility problem, lol. I had fun and actually loved trying to help. Pretty much the end of that…

Made a couple of good friends here which I now will keep contact with for some time I hope. At least that part ended better than I would have imagined.
So, I am bidding you farewell and happy trading with much success. Good luck guys.

Was gonna request to have my stuff deleted, but nah. At least I gave back a bit for what I got out of this forum…

Oh, almost forgot, F**** you Twee/bud.

Ramy3

Wishing you all great success. Enjoy!!!!

That's a shame but totally understandable. Not much fun to be confined to the ghetto of FF.

All the best Ramy.

Sorry to see you go Ramy, but I entirely understand in the 'first hand' sorta way.

As others have said, ForexFactory is losing out with your departure.

This is actually the result I warned Twee about in my final email to him. To paraphrase it: The cruddy thing about this whole mess is that ForexFactory loses very helpful and knowledgeable users who enjoy assisting others.

You and I both know just how out of place, insulting, and inaccurate Twee's message was (after chatting with you over the last year and change, and everything we've talked about, I know you're intentions here were positive and your character was solid,) but no matter at this point, in the end it's only ForexFactory that loses out..

And it's obvious that others here recognize this as well.

I had to ask about this myself. I remembered someone posting about a potential new server being brought on to balance the load and make execution smoother, but didn't know it was already up and in production.

Could this be related to what they discovered when helping you out with your execution issues from a few months back?

Anyone get moved to the new server?

While I haven't noticed any issues on my own accounts, I'm very tempted to try out the new server and see if it runs better..

(Though, to be honest, I totally thought they had some sort of scaling cluster and didn't have to partition their clients between multiple servers.. so I'm also curious about what this tells us about their infrastructure.)

I put in a request over the weekend for a transfer but haven't had a reply yet.

My 2cents worth - Twee is well on the way to wrecking a good site with his recent actions on this thread. For what it is worth Jack... I think that you and Ramy have been treated very poorly.

I just installed a fresh copy of the OneClickTrading EA from an installer found in the 'downloads' section of the client panel.... and it instantly populated with depth info and seems quite snappy.

Don't see a 'picture' feature though.

Holy heck... have you guys noticed the liquidity on the EURUSD lately?

http://i.imgur.com/Bpr8kmm.png

It's not even the London session, nor the London NYC overlap... and there's nearly a yard by over half a yard within a pip from the inside quote. Way higher than the 80-150MM I was used to seeing.

Shows I haven't been using the depth feature in a while.

Sadly, the OneClickTrading app is still a resource hog.. kinda CPU intensive.

EDIT: and I can't get it working on a few other pairs, seems to work fine on EURUSD though.

The picture feature I worked out is that after the last rebuild, the box was ticked to be on the MQL5 site.
