Does anyone elses "portfolio" section seemed to have stopped working ? Mine seems to gave stopped working in the last few days and I'm unable to add favourite markets to it ? I've mailed support, they might be able to sort it.

Oh they can find it alright ! particularly if one doesn't comply with the 1 minute made up rule ! :thumbsdow Yep it's true, happened to myself and others I know.:rolleyes: Like you say take your funds out and move on, less stress...

I have 2 service providers for redundancy one machine runs on one and the other on the other both suffer the same problem but only with Capital. Have also tried from a different physical location with a 3rd provider. I think this is conclusive enough for me.

Simon, Thanks for getting the port opened up for testing. I left the test running with the -t flag over an hour and the min response rate was 28ms max 32ms avg 30 so I dont think this reflects any latency problems. Increasing packet size to 1024 produces 56ms responses which is still fast...

It wasn't a refer to dealer, it was just that the price is not available and so I then have to resubmit an other trade.

lol what a lot of replies. Well over the last few days I tried various trades and yes I trade short term the amount varies from £1 to higher stakes. I don't think I have any latency on my system/system route) as I don't suffer these problems when I use other providers, though they don't have 1...

Twinj cheers for the info. I couldn't find the 100 trades and min 1 min term in any of their terms.

where did that rule come from ? Another one of their dealer invented terms ?

I have to say having tried the facility over the last couple of days the amount of failures to execute trades on the daily dow becasue the price has moved in my favour is very frustrating, when I see the market run away from a position I click to exit and it says no and again, and likewise when...

spot on the money, plus that they close platform at 21:14UK is not good.

Thanks very much (again), I don't trade latency as such, I'd rather there was no latency. I'll give it a whirl one day next week and see how I find it.

Thanks Simon, much appreciated. I'm a relatively active intraday trader, perhaps I'm whats called a scalper, is it correct that this isn't the sort of business that you like ? I don't want to end up on dealer referral, so would be good to know from the off. Thanks

I am currently looking at Yadix and prospreads, Yadix appears is a broker and porspreads appears to be spreadbetting (but with tighter spreads than Yadix) so I am swayed towards pro trader. anyone ever tried both and have thoughts on either ?

vasco, nope £1 a point not ok. Tar, each to their own, find a system that works and stick to it. rapid trading has many benefits over taking a position, but hey everyone is different and that's ok. I have found a Direct to market provider now who doesn't mind scalping, or so they say, we shall...

tar, Yes, that's true some wouldn't of fesses up or had the courtesy to call. As for one minute not being a big deal.... 10 seconds is enough these days to turn your hairs grey in the markets ;) VD Banana, yeah I will trial it, if it doesn't work then no big deal and off to another firm.I have...
