Jump to new
Hey Chris,
Well for a second time it has been my end great to know and as I have said I am the first to say if it ends up being me, speed is back to where it should be again good stuff.
I kind like being anonymous adds a bit of mystery to it all lol.
I have spoken to you on the phone many times.

Cheers on the good work once again, I must say I am one of your biggest fans and no doubt you would have alot of accounts via my words so please dont feel like that was a attack all I was doing is seeign if anyone else having probs to see if me or ?
Cheers
Houdini :)
 
Well glad to know that whatever the problem was has now gone. Very strange sometimes. As I say, Internode lost connection to our server last week, which was frustrating in our office. I was able to connect to another MT4 provider as well! They normally sort themselves out in the end.
 
no worries Chris, it was just an observation, and there is no advanatage or disadvantage, Go simply paints its price bars differently

eg compare Go's 1 min chart to IGs 1 min, the bars arent starting at the same time by 30 to 40 secs, so someone is out of synch with universal time

James,

That website seems to take the time form your computer and then make the change with regards to the time frame. For example, I just brought it up, then changed my computer time by 30 seconds, and it changed the time showing on that website. Try it for yourself, move your clock forward 20 seconds and it will change. If you edit your clock to be in sync with the MT4 and then go back to the site, it will match up. Compare it to other brokers if you have them and I am sure they will be basically the same.

Also, please note that it is not us who performs the time sync, but it is a feature built into the MT4 by the developers of the platform.

Chris, I understand go's chart time is gmt+2, just curious why different brokers use different times, and what made you choose +2.

my own view is +2 is good because the new day starts at NY's 5pm which is pretty much globally accepted as one of the aritrary fx start of day times, as is Tokyo's 10am

Put simply, GMT+2 is the default because that is where MetaQuotes are based. I don't know why they didn't bother to change it at the time, but to be hinest, whetever is picked will always be wrong/right for someone!

James, glad the times now match up, but very strange, as other than the daily optimisation, nothing has changed. Did you change your computer time?
 
Looks like a few posters can't get by without a whinge and then it's all smiles when they themselves are at fault. I abhor ignorance but some human beings are best handled that way. :banghead:
 
Yeah my order process still slwo after I thought it was me not sure whats going on.
Bit scared to mention it these days to be honest sound like broken record.
I have a Ping speed of like 26ms fantastic speed there.
I will call them one day see what they have to say.
 
Hi,

I have noticed that I now get an "order accepted" box then the order is processed.

Before it used to be that quick I didn't have time to see anything.

Definitely slower, I am going to try a reinstall to see if that helps :(

Will advise the result after tomorrow nights trading.
 
Thanks for your feedback regarding transaction/dealing speed caribean, ISPIZ and macca. Interested to find out what the problem is, and which end it exists at. If you are all profitable traders I have an alarm that starts to tingle.

Edit: Posted incorrect names posters.

no, there's no advantage re price, the time difference merely paints the price bars differently to a platform in synch with GMTime

any way, dont take my word for it, check it yourself against GMTime........i dont know what Go synchs to, but it isnt GMTime

Go and Alpari UK seem pretty similar to me (although I dunno if they are syncd to GMT as you say). Never had problems with using signals from Go charts..

It is still a trial account for me, i don't pay too much attention to it as my primary account takes precedence, however when i did pay attention i found exiting at a precise level almost impossible lately, I'm not saying it is always against the trader, but frustrating nonetheless, the lag can be up to 5-6 seconds.
Thank you for your prompt reply,
regards.
 
Was just wondering if go markets is ever going to make an iphone/ipod touch app for mt4 or a webbased platform ? pretty sure it would be a good move seems apple is huge now.

Fxpro does it, thats why i mentioned it?
 
Interesting to hear that a few of you have had slower connection/execution speeds recently. We have made no changes here, and are actually implementing several data centres to improve conenctivity in anticipation of more clients.

In terms of feedback form my end, I have Optus ADSL2+ at home, and last night my internet was running at a snails pace, and connecting to the server was tempermental. Over the past 2-3 weeks, there have been ISP problems with internode, tpg, iinet and now Optus, so this could be a factor.

I don't know if we will be doing anything like this, however there is an iPhone application for MT4 available through the app store. It is called Forex on the go.
