There is nothing fine, its crap and getting worse as the days go by, I am having the longest execution times, about 30 to 60 seconds if I am lucky enough to not get a no connection message.

Switching it all over to my other broker now, Go can get stuffed all together.

BYE BYE GO MARKETS

the 406 build may have something to do with the slow down, my platform goes slow since updating

fortunately my orders are limit only

but i can understand it would be a nightmare if trading at market

Well, with all being said here, I must say that GO Markets honored the stops I had on today with all the Swissy volatility. This was from Mammoth VPS as well

I see that some traders really got hit, must have been using them mental stops!

It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.

Have experienced several outages today and also was connected to the SD servers again. Terrible. This increases my average latency by about 150-200 milliseconds at least. In total, my platform has either had to switch or reconnect to one of the DCs 14 flippin' times today! Outrageous!

4x watch shows at least 23 minutes of down time in total today so far with the reporting period for the day about two thirds of the way through . I am hoping sincerely that after this weekend, fixes are indeed implemented.

A question for you guys.

AUD users, did your platform freeze today?

Other currency users, I know your platform froze earlier. (mine did)

AUD users, have your platforms ever froze? Do you frequently experience switching away from sydney dc into san diego or london or melbourne?

the bottom half should be solid green, and there should be no gray in the tick volume. gray is amount of ticks missed, and the lower half is percentage received/missed.

you can see where my connection was struggling, then almost on the hour it finally crapped out and then reconnected and has been pretty decent apart from a section you can see after it reconnected where it crapped out again.

it's currently on melbourne dc. in the first part that was terrible i tried both sydney and melbourne and they were just as bad as each other until something unknown changed and everything settled back down on the hour.

My Go account is AUD based and also experienced multiple disconnection during these days.

Today, one of my EA shows requoting error and repeating the buy order. Examine the Journal log, shows Ping failed and then followed by Login. Looking further into the log file, there were several occurrence of Ping Failed followed by Login.

i write my own shit, because i'm just that awesome. true story.

i posted a simpler version a few pages back already. it's right there for anyone to compile. it's basic and easily changed.

now, since posting my last post the connection has trended towards dropping most ticks. eyeballing it has it somewhere around 80% ticks not received compared to the volume it should be at.

but, as always, i'm on wireless. some day i'll give a damn and take my laptop and plug it into the router and let it run for a day just to really see what the score is when the wireless dongle isn't a consideration.

edit : and right then a login attempt after it finally died. interestingly i see a login just under an hour ago which coincided when the degradation started.

so, it is crap, dies, connects, is considerably great in comparison for a few hours, dies, connects, is crappy again, dies, connects.... maybe it'll be good again? fun.

just received maintenance notice

In approximately 10 minutes (02:30 server time) some essential maintenance will occur on one of the firewalls in our trading server network. Whilst every effort is taken to cause the least interruption to your trading, it is possible that this will result in your account being inaccessible for up to 10 minutes.

Edit make sure sl and tp set

Hi Jason,

Did your AUD MT4 account freeze during the spike yesterday?

It is good that the maintenance is happening now, wouldn't want to see out the week the way it has been freezing and executing like it has been.

Hmm, I've experienced the smoothest connection I've ever seen with GO since they performed maintenance on the firewalls. Just about a minute or so shy of a solid 2.5 hours of an uninterrupted connection to DC1.

I disagree. Seeing 10~15 second price freezes.

I'm not trying to dispute any problems others are having. No need to disagree with me, it was just an observation.

since the firewall maintenance, I have now experienced one disconnection under 30 seconds according to 4xWatch which I have ound to be exceptionally accurate. My account is in AUD.

Cheers
