Re: data feed different
The charts show the bid prices, like many brokers, so the spread is not indicated. Our FAQs give a more in detail explanation: http://www.gomarketsaus.com/faqs.
I have looked at this, and if you look at M1 chart for example it will show a very similar level, but it seems that there is a gap on the hourly chart for some reason which I will have rectified.
Cheers for bringing it to my attention.

50 pip difference required for pending order?
Hi Chris - I've been evaluating a number of brokers and I must say that your spreads are excellent - almost identical to spreads from one of the "big boy" brokers that requires a 25k+ deposit!
I was also looking at another MT4 broker and I noticed that on their platform, a pending order can be executed immediately, while on Go there has to be a 50 pip difference from the current market price. Is there any reasoning behind this?
Thanks!

Re: 50 pip difference required for pending order?
Hi Hyperseer. The spreads are very good, and yes whilst they can widen they only do so if they widen between banks. I am certainly not watching spreads all day moving them around - I am much more interested in stalking the forums trying to find a question to answer!
As we offer 5 decimal place pricing, some things on the platform can be thrown off somewhat with an extra zero. For example 50 pips actually means 5-pips, so it is not as bad as at first glance.
It is something we are looking at to see if these can be reduced/removed and will have a decision within the next couple of weeks.

We do not close accounts due to inactivity. Perhaps there has been a misunderstanding. Send us an email or call in with your details and I am sure we can check on it.

Re: 50 pip difference required for pending order?
DOH! Of course - 5, not 50! Guess I haven't gotten used to the 5 digits everywhere.
5 pips is not bad at all for a pending order. Of course, if you can get rid of it entirely...

Hello,
I am experiencing technical problems with meta4 on gomarkets and was interested to know if it was just me? I called the 24 hr dealing desk as it is midnight and after being hung up on once and then being told they couldn't be of any assistance with their limited English I desisted. I have re-installed the trader but I am simply getting invalid account. In the previous few days I have been getting many meta4 program hangs also. If anyone has this problem and knows how to fix it I would appreciate the help.

which windows are you running?
are u running any EAs? -- if so are the .dll based? are they your own source code? or compiled by someone else?
also try deleting all the 'mqlcache' files.

Limited English ... surely you jest? Can you provide a sample?
Same problem here ... its taking like 3-4 sec for orders to fill in.

i wasnt the only one then who couldnt log in untill 8am
There is a very good reason, with there being no official open it is just when the first bank puts the first price through, but what we have found is that first thing on a Monday morning liquidity is pretty rubbish to be honest which can result in wider spreads coming from the banks. If we opened up earlier, we may see some really strange spreads and price spikes which could result in trades being done that clients may not have wanted etc.
Personally I have previously been an FX dealer and whilst working the night shifts in London, we used to open our market at 10pm Sunday night (7am Monday) and the liquidity was truly shocking.
Technically we could set things up so that it started at any time we want, but imagine if we started at 6am, and there were misticks all over the place... it would not be pleasant!
