Yes, right setup, very important in trading as we all know.
solution: have a different MT4 terminal to trade within
the system slows down mt4.........

Have you tried pressing contol/alt/del to check out what's running and how much memory there is to spare?
its the range bars not catching up which is the biggest thing...simply need quadcore 8gb ram for this system on mt4....
I'm running MT4 using Virtual server machines on Windows XP using a basic dual core AMD with 2GB of RAM. I have two MT4 platforms running independantly one using Smartlive the other is linked to another broker, one server is solely an IIS server with FTP configured. The main XP box is running intensive VB scripts 24 hours a day and the total CPU useage is about 60% max when the script is analysing the data. It might be worth looking at the virtual route soley for the MT4 platforms as it allows you to run multiple broker platforms on one standard workstation box. I use a VM package called Oracle Virtual box and it's free open source software. Definately worth looking into if you'd like to simultaneously test MT4 platforms on a very basic PC system. I have to say Smartlive on MT4 is working smooth a silk so far - fingers crossed.
Have you been considering offering the DAX30SB at 1 point spread an hour earlier in the morning? Most of the SB companies switch from off hours trading to this timing for the DAX index.Hi
Absolutely, and I would not suggest anything else.
Also of course members can help each other as well.
We just want to provide the best service to clients we can.

Anyone besides me have a problem with slippage? This especially on the stop loss.

One Thing I would point out to owners is that I would suggest they try and get a faster feed. This morning's spike down (GBPUSD) on news was over 2 seconds slower than all my other brokers. I have noticed this on other news releases as well....Maybe it is just my connection to SB. But I doubt it because I have AUS broker that has quicker chart updates during news.... Maybe something to watch.... I haven't tried to see if the old prices are tradeable but would be a shame for you if they are because it seems to be rigged against you!

In that instant I traded the DAX, yes there were quite a movement but no gap, it just went through the stop. I do not bother to contact them at this stage, just testing their service with a very small amount of money. They probably would have corrected the slippage, if I have sent them an email.If they have put you on their interbank feed, then you will have a fair bit of slippage.

No, I don't think so, Smart Live Markets are probably "smarter" than that. Very important introducing a new platform, without playing silly games. I have had no more slippage since those incidents.Sounds like 'designer slippage' to me, added by the SB for no other reason than they can.
