After following this thread for a long time and reading the "news" on a daily basis I just have to shake my head. I mean really you guys spent all your times complaining about GO, making videos, testing ticks, measuring latency and the list goes on, WTF???
Seriously are you here to trade or are you working on a degree in IT?
I have gone trough a number of brokers and GO used to be one of them but I would never ever troll on FF on how bad the broker is and wasting my time with that. I just would take my money and run if problems are not fixed as promised several times by the broker.
So instead of filling pages up to prove something, why not check other brokers out...... bla, bla ....

Good luck to you all.

AXI Trader and Pepperstone are names I keep hearing; pretty sure they only have 2 servers each so not sure how they can provide any better than GO Markets.

Check all of the Broker Discussion sub-forum, there will be more mention of brokers there
Even with only 2 servers the connections are better, less disconnects than GO Markets

I'm sure many have. I did and moved on to Pepperstone. That said, I'm glad that there are people who do such due diligence so that when I do figure it's time to make the decision to stick with my broker or go somewhere else, I have as much information as possible to make an informed decision based on the bigger picture.

In many ways, GO is a great broker so it's entirely understandable that some one would want the broker to fix the issues they have rather than switch and get used to a new broker, with new staff, new infrastructure, a new account manager and new policies. That was my problem. Aside from their infrastructure problems, I otherwise loved GO but had to move on because of the connectivity issues. I would much rather have seen the problems fixed through so I could stick with the broker and keep on using a company that I was otherwise comfortable with.

The stuff posted here isn't just trolling. It's a number of customers trying to stick with their broker and I think it's completely logical and understandable.

thanks, wc. u wrote well, a professional manner

like many, i am a small account holder, not residing in Australia. the most i would just burn my small account (fund) instead of switching to a new broker and pay the bank fee again. it is not wise just to switch for a new broker for novice traders... my 2 cents opinion.

i hope go would rectify their server problems asap. it is sick to keep listening their on going problems.

my orders with GO for years have taken anywhere up to 1 min to reach my MT4 terminal. Chris was never able to fix the delay despite concerted efforts, but it didnt matter so much because i only wanted to trade via limit orders.

i've just placed a few limit orders today and they are hitting my terminal like lightening, ........odd but true

i've had mt4 running for the last half hour and it has only missed one tick, and had no re-logins yet.

but, wait for later today when london wakes up and see how it goes. and then same for the rest of the week. last monday was the same thing. it was spectacular, then degraded... possibly as more clients jumped back into the game and ruining it for everyone.

this shows that Go Markets is not customer service oriented....if they expected more clients to use their platform, they should have better plans set to handle the load.

it's purely a theory, and i have no evidence to suggest it's true... so don't take it as fact when it's probably fiction.

that said... not long after my last post the received ticks has degraded a bit and seems to be getting slightly worse and worse as volume increases per bar.

GoMarkets appear to be re-active not pro-active.

As mentioned, i will keep acct for swing and hedging my futures positions( if necessary) .

Hi,

I said I will monitor Go markets thru a server on a datacenter. See, since tonight we got disconnected once as you can see.

This server is in a datacenter in Germany with a 100MB/S connectivity state of the art datacenters.

Hope Chris will check this deeper. And most important waiting for real action to see what happens.

Notice this is not a VPS. And this server is totally IDLE with 8GB RAM & enough horse power to keep metatrader BIG LOAD on shore!
