And this is the trade that could have been on the 15min NQ, went to the target, good example of why you need a reliable setup.

We haven't experienced any drop out when ordering or amending.
Biggest problem has been the spread variation on Eur.Jpy

I can't see any patterns, I put it down to the internet and/or their server.

do they offer micros?
So far for me they are a yes as they are better than some other brokers in Oz but they could do with a slightly narrower Eur/Jpy and 2pips on Gbp/Usd would be well received.
I trade mini contracts through them and i'm relatively new to Fx but learning all the time and if I see any blatantly dodgy prices then I will go elsewhere.

Read pages 13-14 of the PDS for Gomarkets starting with "How are the funds I deposit with you held" before you trade with them.
Here is the Futures PDS: http://o.b5z.net/i/u/10015464/i/Futures_PDSVer_2_13-05-2008.pdf
I was under the impression futures accounts had to be segregated accounts.
Maybe that is for clearing participants only.

I have that spine high at .64846. 
Everything else on the 5 minute chart looks in order.
Looks like your chart spike has been doctored, ie open/close at the top.

I see City Index also shows the spike on their IT Finance tick charts.
White Dude,
I use multiple moving averages ( to show trend) with fibo points ( S & R) on the chart also the arrows show when the RSI crosses 45 or 55 and a double woody CCI in the lower panel
I got a few of the ideas from this thread.

Sent them an email on Thursday to transfer some money out, its in my bank account today.
So far they seem easy to get on with.
I've just opened an account with GO - haven't funded it yet. Had some tech problems with the port for their live server, and they seemed helpful.
To be honest, the main reason I went for them was that I like MT4 and they are the first (only?) Aussie broker offering it. I can fund in AUD, rather than send it offshore by wire and wait an extra few days for it to clear. Spreads look reasonable - not great but OK.
I expect to get started next week with live. Are they any good? Time will tell.
Has anyone noticed that the prices on the order tickets don't match the chart behind (both demo and live)? E.g. on AUD/USD the ticket says 32 / 36 but the chart behind has 32 / 35. Looks like they are spreading the price by 1 pip on the offer. When I looked on Currenex earlier in the day, the spread was 3 pips, so it sounds plausible. On gold it is more obvious. The ticket says 60 / 10 and the chart says 65 / 05 so they are adding a 5c spread either side. I know they need to make some money, but I'm surprised the platform doesn't make it look a bit more consistent.

2)How does this affect the tax?
Does anyone have any clue? Please help.

Kristyna
Hi Kristyna
Iam searching around the web on blogs and forums trying to educate myself with regard to trading the forex markets and inparticular using EA's on MT4.
I am looking for a mentor of sorts, someone to help with my understanding of these matters.
I emigrated here from the UK 18 months ago so my network of relationships of friends & proffesionals is still growing. How have you been going since this thread began back in July '08 I think?
Thanks in anticipation of a reply
Karl

A Reading from the Book of Armaments, Chapter 4, Verses 16 to 20:
Then did he raise on high the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, saying, "Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals ... Now did the Lord say, "First thou pullest the Holy Pin. Then thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the counting, be reached, then lobbest thou the Holy Hand Grenade in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."
Sometimes it takes razor sharp fangs to the jugular to get some traders to realise that what they perceive as their foolproof trading system is in fact just as mythical as the vorpal Rabbit of Caerbannog itself! Also, the EA that "just makes money" with no knowledge or effort is also just as mythical as the legendary Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh.
