How r we suppose to know whats the movement? Imagine if I winning or losing? Is this normal? Imagine if all my transaction had been on winning side, suddenly when it begin all over again, I am on losing side? Many things can occur in 1 minute. From the time that I look at this message its over 10 minutes. Btw, I send them 2 emails, hope they could reply.

I've attached a 5min chart of oanda for its collapse interval

EDIT: oops - its own for E/U only but the collapse was on every pair, tell me the pair you need and will upload the chart if you would like to

Was their server actually down, or would you not link?

I had a blip (disconnect/reconnect) within my connection to OANDA this morning @~9:14EST and observed half a dozen articles about it on this forum. There is even some genuinely delusional conspiracy theorist posting they believe the outage at OANDA was related to the one that you submitted about @ibfx ~5:30EST.. .

Any account which has been migrated over to the new Mini 4 host seems to be down. I have one account migrated over and not working, I have other accounts on Mini Server 3 and they're working normally.

For the past 3 to 4 hours the Market Watch clock onto my IBFX platform has not upgraded or has upgraded . At one point I had access to my Trade tab or the Account History tab, they were not there from the Terminal window. I tried visiting http://www.ibfx.com, but the connection timed out, no real home.
It appears they are having server issues.
I've opened an account with Oanda...

Men, I have been using IBFX for 3 decades, and all that while they always have regular down time with all the host this is particularly harmful for traders who trades with the significant money egy.

All I would like to say is, go facebook and search ibfx, or visit ibfx site and make an official complain to ask them to update their **** server.

How can a broker allow this to take place, they stated 24/7 up time.

Ibfx should you find this, please contact your host/server and UPGRADE IT!

And yes IBFX SERVER WAS DOWN THIS MORNING

anyway I just realised you bumped a 3 year post. . Proved they had down times in the previous 3 years -_-
