I have had the same issue with GFT but only on weekends.

I think (I stand to be corrected) that the matter is one of no signal because the trading finishes on Saturday and re-starts on Monday.
So it was with GFT anyway.

Hope this may help.

Interesting!!

I know that brokers generally do not run your stops but...........

You did not notice this on the demo account.
Something is definitely different on the real account.

I remember a poster some time ago complaining about the same thing as you.

I cannot remember who it was or what broker they had.

But I do know that they switched to another broker, FX Sol, and they never had another problem with this running stops matter.

I do not use FX Sol myself, so I am not biased.

Yes I realize that there is no streaming data on the weekends, but IBFX has always allowed me to log in on the weekend and get the latest data from the close on Friday. Now all I get is "waiting for update" on my chart windows.

My friend informed me that IBFX was
performing server maintenance starting
from Friday close.

Thanks for the info Jonny, did your friend mention when they would be finished? Hopefully at least a few hours before the open tomorrow night, so I can get my predictions done.

I imagine that they are taking
each server separately, for his
mini acct server 3 is up and running.

Yarcofin,
Did you get the email from IBFX. I did. We will have to login to a different server on the Sunday open. The trading account and password will be the same. The new server they instructed me to login to will be "MT4 Mini Accounts 4". It is probably the same for you.

I haven't tried yet. I will wait for the market open.

For the record IBFX doesn't run stops.

The few times they re-quote you, you get re-quoted if prices moves in your favor or out of your favor.

I had a micro one time with a small non U.S. firm. They only re-quoted you if price moved out of your favor. IBFX will even give you a re-quote at a better price at times. Of course you will click yes to that. Very impressive to me.

I have a joint account with someone else, so they got the email in their junk mail as they're the primary account holder. After doing everything they said in the email as well as the link, I couldn't get logged in. (Server 4 was not on list, tried manually putting on list, tried downloading .svr file)

I just downloaded the MT4 platform from their site again and reinstalled it over top of my old one. It let me log in ONCE... it had only one day's worth of data, the 25th, I couldn't see back any further. Now I can't log in AT ALL doing exactly the same thing.

I guess I won't be trading this week

Hmmm....

I won't even try until the market opens. I hope there are no bugs then.
