yeah yesterday with hotforex and the same thing happened with my other broker, I think it was 20-30 minutes. then i got an email from them about downtime of major LPs caused by Sandy (storm) or something.
But I had diferent exp on HF. My trailing stop gone!!! And due to that, I fail lock my winning move!!! Not Only once, but this is the third!!! So, becareful when using trailing stop on HF. Always check ur trailing stop still active or already gone on HF!!!
i ever told my problem with them. When their ask to me by phone, to deposit my money immidiately and go real for small acc.
But i like their demo. coz unlimited lifetime. Before i used demo on ibfx and fxdd
