Go Markets any good for forex?

[SlideLow]

Chris you didn't really answer the rest of my questions

Chris i think a good questions is why would the settings on anyones account change?? An why would all of a sudden would a person be moved without them been notified even for reason such as you said "testing"?

...........

Also why is the spread fixed and is rather high during the europe session?

Also when exactly is this need feed cumming because no offense but you've been saying that we should notice a different for a while now. Is this the new feed? If so i don't think it's much of an improvement, if anything it's quite the opposite.

fellow retail traders, lend me your ears

i consider skillful trading to be a peak performance activity.

and one thing that kills peak performance is distraction; whether that distraction comes from family members, the technology you use to trade, your provider, the neighbors loud music etc etc.

I think it fair to assert, from reading this thread, that many are very distracted by GoT, and even agitated.

how unpleasant to each day be irrtiated by a provider that says all the right things but doesnt actually, or is unable to deliver

do yourself a favour, give yourself a chance, if you are unhappy with GoT, its worth putting all of your energy into sourcing a provider that suits you, that meets your needs; CAUTION if you succeed in this and your trading continues to stagnate, you may have to admit that you are the common denominator

so what are you going to do!


PS it may seem that i'm anti GoT, but i'm not really. if you are happy with GoT then continue on. if you arent then why waste another precious moment stuffing around, move on.

Last night the backup feed was in operation for a short time as we were doing several test on the feed.

Take a look now and over the next few hours, it is vastly improved. Since plugging it in earlier today EURUSD has been below 2-pips basically the whole time. You will often see 0.5 pips later today when Europe starts trading. 1.5 as I type this.

Rasta - you may have asked a few times but as I have said before, I do not know who you are, so if you can call up and give me your details I am happy to take a look. You are not stawned are you?

PR@GoMarkets i am ashamed at you for pointing fingers! Its so unprofessional.

First off, when i read this whole thread last week i saw that there were a few people complaining about their spreads here - so i joined this forum to find out what was going on, whether it was permanent or a temporary thing. Then i found out that you were a representative of the company, which is a good thing for us so that we can ask you questions directly. Now that i look at the posts carefully, there is this person "Stawned" who was complaining about his/her issues here. I have no idea what was the exact deal with him/her and you was, but how dare you say that i am him/her? As a matter of fact, i do see some resembelence as he/she seems to be having the same problems as me after reading his/her posts (Dont know what his/her spreads were). And then from what i can tell he/she was banned from this forum and from GoMarkets for registering 2 usernames? (Sounds idiotic of him/her).. But also raises a question, why would registering 2 usernames on this forum get him banned from his/her trading account? Anyways, PR@GoMarkets, just wanted to mention how shameful your acts are now..

Secondly, as many of us have mentioned here: why is it in the first place would an account with GoMarkets have different spreads to other users? Did someone trip and accidently fall on the keyboard and log into several user accounts and hit the key that changes spreads?

Thirdly, i did call, and i asked the operator to trasnfer me to customer service, and they said they could help. And when i did mention my problem, they said the same thing, "hang in there, we should get this fixed ... etc .. liquidity problems ... etc.. new feed to come soon .. etc".. I dont see how this has helped me?

And lastly, YES I HAVE ASKED A FEW TIMES AND NO YOU HAVE STILL NOT ANSWERED. Where is your position with scalpers?

I am withdrawing most of my funds as of today as i absolutely do not trust such behaviour from my broker. Even if i have to start a whole new applicaiton processes again with another broker. My funds are more important to me. Shame GoMarkets, shame on you. Too bad, i actually joined thinking finally an aussie broker with good products.

Also, whats made me come to this stage is reading a hell lot of reviews about this broker (searched "gomarkets" on google) and there are actually other people who have had the same issue as i have.. same thing (wider spreads compared to others, etc etc..)!! And i though i was the only one.

Hope you all dont get screwed here; best of luck ... Lets see how this turns out with the little funds that i leave on the account.:flush:

James Austin, i am taking your advice and moving onto another broker with most of my funds. A more honest broker.

i have noticed somewhat of an improvement already.

1.5 spread on the yen atm. 1.5 on the euro too (although that has bounced around and has been 2.5 for a bit).

im looking forward to you getting all your new feeds sorted out.

//puts on mod hat//

Would be best if those kinds of comments don't appear again supermatt

//removes mod hat//

Will be watching the new feed with interest Chris. 1.5 spread on the euro during asian slop time is a good start

Yes i have just noticed a slight improvement but you still tiptoed around the other question. Maybe we should ask one question per post.


So Chris, why and how do spread differ from one live account to another live account.


the original question
Chris i think a good questions is why would the settings on anyones account change?? An why would all of a sudden would a person be moved without them been notified even for reason such as you said "testing"?

Slide, Apologies, I did think I had answered the question previously, but allow me to again. I said It was not my area of expertise, but I suppose it is possible because we have groups that are used in house for testing feeds etc, but not for actual trading. If there has been an IT ****-up with a group of clients seeing additional spread, they need to contact us. The only thing I am finding strange is that only one person is talking about it, and nobody has called me about it, and there are not normally groups with only 1 client onboard, as that would be a logistical nightmare!!

Rasta, I called you stawned in jest, and thought that most of the participants of this post would have a chuckle since the love/hate relationship i shared with him!

Please call in as previously mentioned, and ask for me. Tell whoever answers the phone that you are calling about the forum or something to make sure they put you through to me, and I will take a look. Without knowing who you are I have no way to check, simple as that.

As a final point, a few of you have mentioned that spreads have improved already, and further improvements are also round the corner....

I'm seeing 4.0 on the yen at the moment.. was better yesterday! :/

I am seeing 1.5-2. Of course it could flick up to 4 briefly, that is the nature of this kind of price feed, but I would be surprised if it stayed there!

 

[PR@GoMarkets]

We actually just got an email from the moderator that Rasta was another incarnation of stawned and has had his account terminated, so it may be best to ignore what he has been saying....

so Chris told all u whining Muppets that the spreads would be improved and it's happened....

good trading

 

[Naked shorts]

Whats the bet that Rasta/Stawned/whoever else he posted as, is actually from another company trying to simply sabotage GoMarkets? I'd say the chances are pretty high.

 

[Mindsphere]

Hi PR@GoMarkets, I'm just wondering if Go has an official position on news trading at all?

 

[PR@GoMarkets]

Hopefully you guys have been looking at the new spreads and they are well received, to be honest I would be surprised if you are not as they are outrageously tight in the most part! There are further changes to come imminently including more feed upgrades, three new servers to increase reliability and a way of making stops an limits less restrictive. I will keep you informed and you will receive official emails as well.

As for the question above we do not restrict any style of trading and clients are welcome to trade during news time either manually or with an EA. The onyl thing we ask is that clients do not use automatic sniping tools, there are a couple of them out there and they trade on prices that our liquidity providers simply cannot hedge. I would like to point out that we are putting plans into action to even allow these to be used in the short-term so again I will keep you updated.

very excellent. if these spreads and server uptimes can be maintained go will not only be australian leader for mt4/retail forex but a world leader.

the issues have been address and solutions found; and (over)expectations of traders matched.

well done go!

atm spreads on the euro have been down to 0.3 at times.
