Yes I think you are right, because my SBFX is also down, but my connection with MGForex is up...

Also, I checked my satellite connection and it is up.
Also, this very server seems to be having some difficulty and it is in NJ

I was informed that some terrorist who ploted the UK attack were pissed with FXCM. In retaliation, they sabotaged some of FXCM's servers.

I have had my oanda platform open 24/6 without any problems for the last month with zero outage. The game platform is a mess, but the live is flawless...
It's not flawless, if you didn't have a problem, consider yourself lucky. It's not something that happend only to me, they said on an email

"This morning some of our clientswere having difficulty logging in to the FXTrade Servers. Please notethat the FXTrade Servers were operational throughout this time, and anyexisting limit orders, stop losses or take profits would have beenhonored.

We are continuing to investigate the cause, however, you should be able to login now."

If you see some spaces missing between the words... that's how they sent the email.

It was at 8:30 am EST and it took about 20min - a half an hour. It was big volatility there.

So it's not flawless.

Hi,

Woke up early today at 4:30am in our time or that's 16:30 EST. Just to be able to start the my trading week at 17:00 EST.. but 17:00 EST pass by,still no movement..patiently waited till 19:00 EST knowing its Japanese Market opening.Surely they would open now..but still nothing..until now its 22:00 EST and fxcm is still down..that's the longest I've ever seen them down..maybe they have gone bankrupt or what :
For all of you so quick to jump on FXCM's case, you fail to realise what time frame BOMA is talking about. He's not talking about NFP or other such craziness, he's talking about problems starting twelve hours ago.

I thought I did something with my platform.
GFT ans SaxoBank are working. No problem with them.
It is hard to believe that they turned off their servers because some players were making money. They can do this once or twice then the customers will just go away.

NJFX is your stratagyfx still down ??? I cant get my charts to refresh as well
does anyone else have the same problem?????
My data feed didn't come back intil ~8:45 EST, down ~10hrs. Data from 'server outage' time still missing messing up my indicators.

Be careful we may have to wait for more data, because now if you are using indicators, the caculations will be messed up due to the data gap. Oanda was up during this period.

I lost my Oanda connection for ~ 15 minutes last Friday, fortuatly I didn't have any open trades. It was during the volatility after the NY announcement.

My FXDD demo account wasn't refreshing properly yesterday for me either.

I could use my InterbankFX one with no problem.

Thing is, I started the FXDD account 2 weekends ago because of InterbankFX's demo platform shutdown over the weekend! It seemed to shutdown this weekend too!? Couldn't refresh my charts. I wasn't on for the last few hours of trading Friday. At first I thought they'd put a block on my I.P or something. lol

Any one notice this, or was it limited to me?
