Here is the report, taken again a couple of minutes ago. The only time I've had slow execution is when trading Gold when the Gold market is closed - so understandable really.

pending order test show communication speed only. it wan't tell you the real execution speed as it's not need to communicated with LP and find hedging for your order, basically if everyone run similar EA 24 x 6 MT4 server will get overloaded and execution will get worsen. if your are connected to Sydney modify order always at top speed.

Has anyone answered this yet as to why the spreads are so insanely high lately?

I stuck around after they took rebates away but I opened multiple accounts with other brokers. Go is always 1 full pip higher. When my other brokers are 1.5 Go is always 2.5 etc AND I am getting rebates back off my other brokers too. Ill stick around till Friday and see if it's just a temporary thing.

Hello mohan76, can you explain what happened to my account? My VPS is definitely at Sydney(ip: 103.3.184.*), and here is my test result:

ok that was shit. it was an obvious mistake and i think i've cleaned it all up now. i know i keep saying this, but i'm tired (when am i not?) and i should be asleep right now. the source is there so people can make of it what they want.

personally what i would do with a script like this is bind a shortcut key to it, and also have another script that sets the global var to 1 (which causes this script to end itself nicely) bound to another shortcut key. from this you can simply switch the script on and off by 2 simple shortcut keys much like...

Thank you for your time and skills Nubcake, i'll take a good look at all your coding shortly.

I did not write it as a script because then you can't run other scripts on that chart, i didn't write it as an ea should be because then the exact time would not necessarily be 29 seconds (at least to my thinking).

I discovered it was exactly 30 seconds, and then Chris confirmed this to me. It is the same with all MT4 brokers, as they all use the same MT4 backend server software.

I spoke to Chris about having 12*60*2=1440 live trades placed/altered per day and he said it would be okay. Maybe if every live client did this though it would not be okay...

I didn't use milli-second timing due to the variability of output of cpu, which varies the number of milli-seconds in a second, if you cpu is heavily loaded it will result in >1000 ms per actual real time second, and vice versa. Accurate durations can be calculated by finding the mean of a large number of whole second values, either 0 or 1.

it was worth it. you provided a very cool and useful piece of info which i will be using when necessary and so upgrading your base code was worth the few hours it took to iron out the bugs and make it more robust. you had the right idea with the code, and i have the inability to not try and upgrade something that is simple but so useful.

sure, but if you take millisecond timings, which despite still being wrong to some very small margin of error, you will get far more accurate results than rounding off to some whole number and then if you take a large sample of these more accurate readings then you will derive a much more accurate average out of the sample.

there must have some reason for this, buddy.
with the report of skoda2008
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...84#post5097284
and my report
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...48#post5097648

I think I get some point of this.

STP(straight through processing system) means put your order to the Market directly. As an ITer I understand that between two system, such as Go and his LP, it's a miracle to get an execution time under 200ms, not to mention most of the LPs are not locate in AUS, the latency is a big problem. If the time around 1000ms, I will thank Dear God. The demo account will have a good performance because it doesn't need to find a LP, just like some MM broker does.

In my opinion, there are two types of broker in this world, MM and STP/ECN; and two types of trader in this world too, the one who lose money(call them A) and the one who earn money(call them B).

And now I find another type of broker who is both MM and STP, and they just put A to MM, B to STP.

Assume that skoda2008 just open a new account, do not show his power of getting money, then the MM mode is activated. You will get a fantasy execution time like a demo account. It's the same for me when I began to use my account.

But once you show your power, the MM mode is no good for the broker obviously, then STP mode will be activated, they won't pay for this. It happens when someome get some significant profit, maybe like me.

Nevertheless, Go is still a good broker, I still get 800ms~1500ms before except these days, maybe the LP's problem, also lead to higher spread, nightmare. I'll wait till next week, to see what will happen, hope they are faster in STP.

pft. i truly hope i am on your ignore list. you are clearly an idiot and i would hate to think you might ever benefit from anything i ever post. anyone looking at this champs post history will see nothing but broker bashing in the last dozen or so posts, if not more, and not just of gom. what a champ.

as for paid.... you couldn't pay me to deal with idiots like this all day, hence my sympathy for chris having to read this shit day in and day out and attempt to make something positive out of any of it. some people don't even realize he is obviously ignoring their posts because their blabbering is so retarded and not worth the time replying to.

enjoy your level of stupidity onu. you have plenty of people at your level to keep you company.

I lost $50 this week.

They were bank charges, withdraw fund and repeat!

My last hope is they can fix the problem on time. or I need to do it again!

Nevertheless, Go is still a good broker, I still get 800ms~1500ms before except these days, maybe the LP's problem, also lead to higher spread, nightmare. I'll wait till next week, to see what will happen, hope they are faster in STP.

I knew it, before I opened my acc all brokers were good.

I remember that I opened my acc with FXDD at the end of 2010, 2011 shit things happened to them, fixed spread become floating spread, all spreads cost rise 25%.

This time.....I just did the same thing on last friday....I'm a broker terminator....

Hi Guys,

I just thought I would give you all a quick update.

As you all know we have had liquidity provider issues over the last week or so. I have just been speaking to our new provider who have assured us we will be ready to go on Monday morning.

I know that the service you have had in the last week has not been what you may expect and we may have annoyed some of you, but with the new LP I can assure you you will see a reduction in spreads and an improvement in execution speed from Monday.

Have a good weekend.

Cheers,
Chris
