Yes, only on my live accounts. I just got the feed back. It was out for about 45 minutes. They were working out trades by telephone and the chat feature on the web site.

It's always their live accounts that go down or freeze up, especially at crucial times (like today's surprise UK rate hike). Mine is down again, as of this writing.

The demos on the other hand, seem to perform great, even during NFP. I am going to ask if my live account can be fed through their demo servers, as they seem to be more stable.

yes, they are close the live connectin, but in same time if you check there demo server you will find it work fine.
Also if you check the high and low of price for GBP/USD for example for each hour in candles , you will find diff prices!!!!!!!
Also you will find gaps in live charts, and there is no gaps in demo charts!!!!!!

I'm sorry to hear the IBFX is closing down. I've been with them since 2010. They have always been good to me. Love the customer service. How does anybody else feel? or think what's going on???

I guess its down for good now. Opened up my ibfx mt4 today and it's no longer valid and my money is gone. Another account and broker down the tubes. Oh, well, that's forex.

Check your emails from ibfx. You should have emails from fxcm also, as they have brought ibfx's mt4 customer base & live accounts.
Also read through the 2 fxcm threads in this area.

You should now have an fxcm account once you tick some boxes to say ok to 63 & 40 & 10 or 15 pages of cop out clauses.
And download their platform, although it appears you may be able to use ibfx platform with a little bit doctoring.
Save your favourite templates, indicators ea's etc and history if you use it.

cheers scalpz

oh and have fun with their swath of spam emails trying to get you to use Trade Station and sell you heaps.

I finally laid my MT4 accounts to rest this week after 4 good years. Service and execution were pretty good, but I'm glad to move away from MT4. Hopefully the Trading Station platform lives up to expectations.
