Has anyone experienced intermittent disconnections with MT4? It seems MT4’s connection is intermittent to my brokers server. I no longer use it though. I remember one night it wouldn’t connect, and during that time I missed out on a trade. Ever since then I stopped using it because I feel it’s connection is highly unreliable.
That unfortunately is quite common. I can remember one occasion that lasted for hours, but that was exceptional. Another broker (can’t recall) would have disconnections every day and sometimes every hour. Usually these lasted for seconds, but sometimes for minutes.
EDIT: one thing to remember is that reputable brokers offer trading by phone to handle this situation.
Yes, I too have that problem. I have read somewhere that the people who made metatrader are doing so on purpose so people would change to MT5. But that is just a rumor…
It was happening in MT4 before MT5 was even a rumor. It seems to be dependent on the broker. There is a vast difference between them. Sometimes I run two demos side by side and its very obvious.
