that, sounds familiar. so far i see on mine that it's never on the hour, it's usually a few minutes just past when it up and craps out and goes from good to bad.
i just try to close my trade with +6 pip it was processing ....... end up seeing sl change to yellow (: , after 30sec history show sl hit, lucky i had sl at + 0.6 pip

seriously....I'm scalping EU....in position, with finger on the 'close' order and less than a minute before a 5min candle close the thing disconnects 2 time within 20 seconds. I exited early as I'm just not confident would have been up about 5 or 6 by now.

wtf? It's like someone is watching, and right at the crucuial point where the market is about to move, the thing disconnects!

I think given the issues with GoMarkets at this moment, it would be wise to have a long week end.

See what transpires over the weekend and hopefully we will be ready to trade a reliable platform next week.
I know I wont be the guinea pig Monday.

Isnt it more likely the handful complaining people here are the exception out of thousands of GO clients?

I have no problems at all...

Fair enough.

If my problems persist I will close my acct.
Never had these issues with Ninjatrader, zenfire feed and Exchange traded products.

I am intrigued. Only 2 minute ago my service dropped out. Do you never have drop outs, or does price never freeze on your terminal? As I type this, price has frozen for more than 30 seconds and the connection dropped out. Do you not have a problem when large price moves happen?

From where I sit, the current service from Go can not be described as "commercial". And, in spite of all the complaints since last year, nothing has happened. These issues could have been addressed within a short timeframe. It's been a year.

Another disconnection right on NY open.

Seems whenever there is a big price move, or sudden burst of data - the connection is prone to dropping out.

Very cool tool for analyzing broker data feed. How does it call?

Josef
Hey Joseph, it's called 4xWatch. I'm not sure if I''m allowed to post the website's address so just google 4xWatch and it should be the first link that comes up on a google search.

Just an update, I am continuing to suffer connection problems and when I woke up, logged in to my VPS to find that yet again, I was connected to the San Diego server. I am waiting for next week on baited breath as I desperately would like to see GO resolve these issues.

Screenshot taken about 5 minutes ago.

Cheers

Exchange-traded products typically all come from one source (the respective exchange). So it should be consistent the connection.

Forex brokers to a large degree have to "Make" their own markets. It's actually a larger undertaking. It took MBT almost 2 years to get the MT4 platform right

You are correct.... I am comparing apples with oranges.
The desired end product of trading with an exchange or FX broker is the same though, the accumulation of money. Currently, as things stand, I don't think I am giving myself the fullest of this opportunity.

Your point is well noted.

From tonights disconnects, i've noticed that too. Execution doesn't seem too bad .. just makes me nervous getting into a positions when i'm not confident for staying connected for the duration.

Trading AUD which doesn't run off that much in scalping is probably the workaround.

Just in case it matters, i don't remember disconnects being that bad on the demo servers.

Also, haven't heard back from an email set to customerservice@gomarketsaus sent at about 7 hours ago (5:30pm)

Reading back over this thread.. just checked the thingy in the bottom right corner, and apparently i was connecting to San Diego.

Chosen Melbourne, let's see if that will make things better.
