Futures contracts also have a spread as well as commission but normally its pretty low, for most index contracts its about 1 point and for forex it varies but tends to be comparable to a good ECN broker

Commissions

I agree, its been working much better for me since GO added more data centres. Seems weird that its a demo causing a problem for you Abinadi as any normal bucket shop has a great demo but crap live so it may genuinely be a connection issue. My MB ...

Chris, Is it possible you can add a few more pairs for the backtesting data?

GoMarkets Discussion

I have experience of IG and City index and both seem ok, I have personally traded with IG back when i lived in the UK and City's offering was always pretty close. I think to have the spreadbet classed as a bet the positions have to be closed and re ...

Best Spreadbet Provider for FX?

Given the fact that Go are publishing tick data regularly on their website I don't think they would change spreads as it would be to easy to catch them out. Loving the new data centres though, reliability has certainly improved. Shame my trading ...

Have a look at City Index, never used them so cant give an opinion but they have been around for years and have a pretty good rep in the UK.

broker with similar indices offer as igmarket?

Chris, Any news on the backtesting data it would be pretty useful? I'm also voting for you guys to not change the hours of trading, it might screw up a few EA's I have running that work well on Go's MT4 but not so well on others for some reason. I ...

That looks like your Meta is corrupted mate , you need to delete and reinstall otherwise I would bet it keeps on happening.

GoMarkets Discussion

Out of interest why don't you quit moaning and find another broker, i'm currently with GO and FXSOL and they both have ups and downs. Go used to have slow execution but now is pretty much instant for me and have better spreads but FXSOL have some ...

GoMarkets Discussion

Yep agreed but it could be worse it could be fxcms boston effort that crashes every 5 minutes, what a joke At least Go admit when systems F**k up unlike most others and they fix it pretty quickly, I maybe biased as i'm aussie and want to support an ...

Seems Go servers are back on line. I called the night desk and they told me that the servers were down due to an attack on the servers. I cant see why this would occur, thankfully my trades were not hindered but would be annoyed if they were. Sh*t ...

GoMarkets Discussion

I see your point and in an ideal world we would all trade on the exchanges due to more transparency and harsher exchange rules but in reality its not always possible. I have traded forex futures b4 through a broker who will remain nameless and there ...

GoMarkets Discussion

I have some on my live server but more on the demo, doesnt affect my trading but wouldnt mind knowing how to stop them, I may have a look at the metaquotes forum and see what they say.

GoMarkets Discussion

Im trading at the moment so they havent shut. My platform did go weird for a few minutes earlier so maybe that coincided with your error.

GoMarkets Discussion

Thanks for that, unfortunately or fortunately i have a bit more than that, may still ask though and see if they can up it

how did you get 500:1? I can only get 300:1

GoMarkets Discussion

err i think your going down the wrong track mate. I worked for IG and am now on holiday in the Uk if you must know. But I do know alot about the industry and run a CFD/FX website but wont mention it here as dont want to advertise it. but it would ...

Im currently in the UK on business but still trading, my execution speed in Oz has been great , here in the UK I agree with Gamma, my first trade took 4 seconds and then subsequent trades were instant. I did notice that if I switched from the ...

GoMarkets Discussion

i wouldn't take it worry about it guys, no one ever writes anything nice about brokers. FXCM and others get just as much crap.

GoMarkets Discussion

not sure if its been discussed properly but Megadroid has had a good start this year but only trades very infrequently so not sure if its a fluke or not yet. worthwhile looking at pipcop.com its EA testing is pretty good. Cant really beat solo ...
