The key point of information is stage 3. The shorter this step, the faster the execution. With that in mind you will benefit from connecting to a DC closer to our main servers (in Sydney). As with any kind of network, as a general rule, the speed comes down to how far you are from the destination, and it makes sense that a connection from Sydney to Sydney is faster than San Diego or London to Sydney.

We normally recommend that you let the platform connect you automatically to the best available DC as it will usually result in the best possible...
I thought about it some more, and now the new question is: what is the point of all the other DCs then? If only the DCs closest to the main server matter, and connecting to DCs further away actually would increase the latency, I do not see the logical or technical advantage of live traders connecting to DCs in areas outside of Sidney.

What would seem to make more sense is to:

1) have multiple main servers / secondary trading servers near 2-3 major DCs, say London, UK and SDCA, USA. Then the latency would be small as the trader now has real choice to connect to DC that would actually route to the closest trading server.

2) consolidate the DCs into 1-3 DCs all surrounding the main server / trading server.

3) combination of 1 and 2.

...unless there is something i'm missing?

Hello,

Would it be possible for you to add USDNOK and USDSEK, those two are my preferred currency pairs because they are so volatile. I know, it is high risk, but I have a good grasp on those two pairs. I have to choose between you and forex.com and since forex.com already has both pairs I am inclined to go with them, however, if you added those two pairs I would definitely go with you

Kind regards,

Hi 13,

I am currently interstate at the moment, but I haven't seen anything about this not working. It was working yesterday when I was in the office, but to be honest we do not have that many people using it so if you have problems, can you call in and someone will be able to help you?

I will follow up with MetaQuotes as well to find out if they know of any issues with the multi-terminal.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Canman888,

Thanks for the question. We can certainly have a look at these and any pairs that people are interested in. I believe we have access to these pairs through our current feed, but I would have to review the reliability and liquidity (and of course spreads) before we would put them live.

I will try and get some more information over to you next week.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi,

The latency figures I was giving you were from the DCs we have connected to our main server. Unfortunately we don't have one in New York, so there is nothing for me to test latency to. I would imagine though that if you were using a VPS in New York it would be slower than one in San Diego.

Thanks,
Chris
The looking glass tool http://helpdesk.commercialnetworkser...leid=182&nav=0

would allow you to test the NYC server of CNS to your main trading server. A couple of tests would give us an idea of what latency to expect.

@GoMarkets,

I am from the US. I had my account with you guys until it was decided not to have US clients any longer. This was maybe 14 months ago, give or take.

Two questions pls: Why exactly did you cancel your US clients?; and, since then have you made any arrangements that would allow them back again? (I would open another acct tomorrow if it were possible.)

To improve is to change. To perfect, is to change often.

Hi fxking,

Of course, feel free to drop by and bring the documents. Whilst the requirements vary for ID depending on what country you are a resident of, when you come in person it is pretty simple. Just bring in your passport and a utility bill or bank statement and that will be good enough. Or, if your drivers licence has an address on it, that would be fine.

To make sure you have the right documents, maybe drop our new accounts team an email ([email protected]) so they can confirm before you come in.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Callisto,

MetaQuotes hold this automated trading competition every year and you can enter any MetaTrader 5 EA you want. Of course not everyone writes their own EAs, but with MT5 there is a much easier way of learning the code: the MQL5 Wizard. It will automatically make the code based on your strategies so you do not have to bother about learning a new computer language. Entry is free and you could win the $40,000 first prize! We will have our MT5 demo running well before the competition starts so you will lots of time to practice.

Remember guys, I am one of the judges this year, so be nice to me. (I am of course not open to bribes... unfortunately).

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Guys,

Just a quick note to say that I am going to be in Hong Kong until Thursday, so I may not be able to answer your questions as quickly. If you want quick answers, feel free to give us a call or send us an email.

I wanted to ask a few questions about GoMarkets.

Since you only offer MT4 MT5 as a trading platform, is the virtual dealing desk functionality in the version you make available disabled?

When you say you are STP, what does that mean exactly? It doesn't seem possible that all orders would be put directly out on the Interbank, especially people traing microlots. So how does this work with your company?

What is GoMarkets track record in regard to requotes and slippage on live accounts.

Thanks,

Fudo
