Broker Server Down?

I use Metatrader. Currently I have a demo account with Interbank FX. Usually the charts start updating sometime Sunday afternoon. My status in "Not Connected". Is anyone else having this issue?

It is really weird. I have demos on IBFX, some are "not connected" and some are just fine. Can't tell what the difference is either. They are all less than a week old so don't see how any could have expired.

I'm getting a little tired of this "s*&^". Kinda wish I hadn't sent them money for a live account.....

change the server to "demo" server in the acct - go to login and click the drop down on the server line and change it to the DEMO server, then login...it should connect you. If not go to Tools, then options, then click server tab and hit the drop down for servers and make sure it is on the demo version , then login in again making sure demo sever is selected in drop down on login screen.

I had to do this 3 times tonite and I don't know why it keeps changing back to another server on it's own! it is very inconvienent

Keep trying! Hope this helps, but call them on it - I just had to do this AGAIN while writing this....

Thanks for the advise.
I checked my settings and for some reason it just won't connect. I have used this same Demo for over 8 months now. This is weird. I uninstalled and reinstalled the program and signed into another demo and it connected just fine. For some reason one of my demo accounts is just screwed up.

Another strange thing was happening too. Everytime I log in for some reason all of the tool bars are gone.

Since this is just demo trading and I keep all of my own records it isnt that importand. I was going to open a live account with them but won't if this kind of thing is happening.

Thanks again.

IBFX demos don't generally last 8 months. Your demo has probably expired. They do not give you any warning. Often they only last 30 days.

Mine has gone off three times today. Last time, it closed an open order and shows no record of it. I always have to create a new account to get backonline. I'm lucky if an account lasts 1 week.

Correction 4 times. It just went off line again. :-)

Had someone any problems with the TMGM mt5 server.
I was down for around 15 min. around 3pm german time... And it was not the first time I had some connection issues.
It has occoured on my desktop mt5 and also on my mobile mt5.

luckily I had no open positions at that time....
