I had two open trades when SLM had the 'power surge'. I also run an Alpari demo, and when I was at my TP figure on Alpari for one trade I telephoned SLM to close it. When the platform was running again the trade was closed within five minutes at the price agreed over the telephone. They also...

I may be fortunate but I have had no problems in the past six months (I'm using a VPS). I usually have three or four trades/day

I've tried Forexoverdrive which doesn't work with SLM but works on an Alpari demo. Why I don't know, and neither do support at Forexoverdrive.

Anyone using SML on a VPS? Any advice on advantages or otherwise would be appreciated as I've been looking at adverts for various hosting companies and am more confused by the minute!

Started with SLM in January and had no problems with the live feed

I've taken all indicators off, and the spike is still on the 15, 5 and 1 minute charts. Not on any higher timescales

I only posted because "Dubai" said it had been reported to him. I had no GBP trades open at the time so it didn't affect me if it was a genuine spike. If it was an indicator being funny I would have thought that it would affect all charts rather than just the GBP pairs:confused:

I have a spike on GBP/USD and GBP/JPY at 11:50. GBP/JPY went from 134.054 to 134.776 GBP/USD range was 1.6150 to 1.6269 I would post a chart if I knew how!

I've been using SLM for just over a month now and have had no problems with platform crashing or re-quotes when opening/closing orders. They have also been extremely helpful on the telephone when I have had a query. I also use Interactive Investor/Finspread SB platform and frequently have...

My Trade Manager worked wihtout a hitch this morning so kudos to SML. I am now a happy (elderly) bunny!!

Thanks zorba_g, a phone call did the trick. Apparently when I went to the website to request activation of EA's, because I had a trade open they couldn't do it immediately, and by the time I closed the trade they were onto something else, hence the delay. Sorted now, I'll see if it all works...

I'll have to make allowances, it is Monday!!

Thanks for that, I've been to the website and now I just have to wait. They say it can take up to a week!

I've just tried using a trade manager and the journal has come up with "trading by experts is prohibited". Anyone know why is this, I thought that trading directly on MT4 would have allowed this.
