Aussie Broker using ForexMeta Platform & FX Tax?

[arco]

Actually my wife is the one testing the GO platform.....(I'm just doing the reporting)

She has taken the $25000 to $35000 in 2 days......only trading about 2 hours a day and only on EY....using no indicators, just market action. Just imagine the figure without slippage.......

Not sure if GO would like her style of trading

Can just imagine the e-mail now........sorry, blah, blah, blah

GO says STOP

She would have done well Today

Male domestic blindness is a curse....

How do I get futures datafeeds into MT4 with Go? Is this done on a subscription basis? or is there a specific futures data server?

 

[BentRod]

Wabbit...Futures charts are on there together with the Forex.

 

[wabbit]

mmm... not in my system?

no CL and no KC???

 

[BentRod]

Right click in the "market watch" window...."show all"

 

[wabbit]

the above pic is "showing all"

???

I'm going to guess its a demo server vs real acct server issue?

 

[BentRod]

You selected "show all" and nothing happened?

No idea what the problem is then.

Here what is on mine.

Oanda version of slippage ?????

.................try and enter on a fast moving bar

Don't think this is a coincidence anymore......its happened 3 times now.

....................each time big delay and filled at a very bad price.

is anyone with ibfx?

 

[wabbit]

If you're trading the news or trying to scalp with rapidfire trades then you'll probably get hit; if you set your TP and SL with the pending order with reasonable values for slippage then you will find you have less troubles with brokers - - IBFX included.

I have a small acct with ibfx and haven't had problems of any significance, but then again I am a small fish in a very big pond and probably fly under their radar?

You can read good things and bad things about all the brokers here:

Read on and make up your own mind. Keep in mind though, in the forums, you hear the bad things from those who have tried to outsmart the broker and have been burned; the people happily trading and making some money don't have much reason to post.

I've been trading for 24 yrs

I don't trade the news, and have been with Oanda for around 5 yrs without problems.

This 'Warning Notice' is a new occurrence to me. Never struck it before,
and it seems strange it should happen 3 times in 24 hrs.

So not complaining about Oanda generally, as everything has been AOK.

In fact I have recommended them to many other traders as the best out there IMHO.

Great to have someone of your experience around mate.

Regarding Oanda, have you sent them an email with Screenie?

Usually they are pretty good at responding to emails.

The market we have at the moment is pretty frantic, so I'll see if it happens again and take screen shots if necessary. Normally I enter on Limit orders with TP, so its not usually a problem.

No real damage - just frustrating when it happens.

 

[white_goodman]

thats pretty **** how often they are requoting for a new system... ill give it another few weeks for reviews before i commit money to it...

I imagine most of the MT brokers may be re-quoting at the moment. Its the speed of the moves we are getting.

I've been doing a few FX trades tonight and there was no re quoting with instantaneous execution as quoted.

that is true, if i put in a tp and sl maby the slippage will be averted

Hi,

relatively new to FX but have just started with GO, i had requotes on the demo but the live seems to be working fine, may run off a different server. Even last night with lots of data the quotes were fine , just unlucky that my trade went in the opposite direction.
Will stick to EA's in future.

 

[el caballo]

Those re-quotes on GO are sufficient to dissuade me.

Also, are those spreads for their market-made product, and are they fixed?
