They are pretty good as a bucket shop, if you are just starting trading, i would recommend them. the extra 10% they are offering recently is just a way to leverage up more.
 
for about 3 or 4 days any deposit up to $2500 was given a 10% bonus to trade with for a month. then the bonus got given back.

thanks for that.

I do not think it is my computer generally, i could access IBFX with some slowness cos I am having it opened with gotrader but gotrader hung mad !!! i think it is their server, slow to respond. just not responding to the command at all !!! other programs up and running with no issues but everytime i want to access the gotrader, either slow to display its content, cannot do anything practically !!!

i am a bit peeved now cos it happens just way to many times and when it is critical cannot do anything ...
 
i havent had any issues with gotrader, nor go-mt4 hanging. they did have their server problems last month. hopefully not repeated.
 
neither have I....

As a matter of fact, I haven't had as many troubles at all.... I am more than happy with their servers and their service.



wabbit :D
 
Has anyone made the move to FXCM using MT4?

I would like to hear a comparison with Go, they advertise smaller AUS/USD pips, but not sure if they give them in reality.
 
I opened a demo account 2 days ago to compare and to test a different EA called FMR lightening. the spreads on FXCM are not even close to what they advertise eur/cad hit nearly 30pips!! and GBP/USD is regularly more than 5 pipsI will open a live account to see if the spreads are better a bit dissapointed as was expecting much better after all the hype.

Regards Go Markets, is there a way of separating your pool of money for FX and your pool of money for another market (CFDs/equities etc): doing so makes it easier to track your system performance in different markets.
How do people handle this? Can you open two accounts?

yes.

the mt4 platform and the saxo based 'gotrader' are two seperate accounts.

you can transfer between them, but are separate accounts. the balances and trades do not effect/show up between them.

so having $3k in forex and $7k in equities would be effectively like having 2 accounts, just with the one broker.

(you can trade forex through the saxo 'gotrader' too).

you can also ask for multiple mt4 accounts under the same gomarket client account. again they are treated totally separately and you need to contact them to transfer between them.
 
Hi,

Did anyone else get caught by this dirty tick ?

I guess I will be ringing Go on Monday morning:(
