    IBFX issues...... ???????

    I've had two accounts together with IBFX for two months.
    Jan 1, 2008 to be exact.

    My platform was down probably 8-10 times, from either 15 mins to over an hour.

    I moved last night for 30mins and was down for over 45 mins now.

    Is this normal for this broker?

    Can I just go everywhere?

    This is getting absurd.

    Welcome into the world of this MT4 broker, going somewhere else really depends on your trading style, if it's long term than it's not likely to affect you much, but obviously for short term transactions it's unacceptable.

    I've actually watched IBFX shut out my profitable places for no motive 100's of pips from any T/P or S/L, so I shifted brokers.

    They also have done that to me too.
    Triped SLs not even close to price.
    Triped TPs brief of price.

    Who would you use and are you pleased with them?

    thanks.

    The Mini Accounts 2 host seems to be more often lately including two times in the last 24 hours. I've had problems with the first Mini Accounts server. It did not go down. At least for me.

    It has been down for 45 mins , 3 times in the past 18 hours.

    I will ask them to change my accounts to this server.

    I'm going to ask them to switch my accounts to that server.
    If your luck is like mine, then next month the original miniature server will start having difficulty. Things appear to work better until I switch to them.

    Opening another account with ODL as we speak.
    I'll subsequently, close out the IBFXs when all transactions are closed.

    I'm tired of the crap....

    Which would be my luck too, so I won't have them change me to your own server and cause one of the frustrations...;-)

    I have had a few small outages with odl lately. Usually less than 5 minutes. Probably only a couple of server reboots. Other than that they have performed well for me personally.

    I have noticed this with IBFX too recently.

    Hope they sort out this and fast.
