Yeah..they're very very close to being ditched by me, and going back to RBS who are great (apart from their slow BACS payments to fund an account).
This kind of problem is what to be expected. The platform needs to be tuned in under severe market condition, like the volatility we are seeing today. If they wouldn't communicate at all I would be more worried, but since they are quite open with the platform problems, I am confident they will take care of them one by one.Yeah..they're very very close to being ditched by me, and going back to RBS who are great (apart from their slow BACS payments to fund an account).

Hi
Would be a shame to lose you.
IT are installing a perminant fix to the problem over the w/e.
We had hoped the tempoary fix would hold for today, but sadly not.

Yes, they are a start up, so one must give them time in order to get everything running smoothly. Of course one must be careful not to put too much money at the table at this stage, until the current problems is taken care of.Indeed.
If you look at my journal, i've been singing their praises since I began using them.
They have a good model and I like most things about them, but obviously wont stick around with them too much longer when there are better alternatives.
Im gonna give 'em a bit longer though because of their communication etc, as you say, and i feel its my duty as one of the first people to use them and have a journal that references them
is it permissible to use expert advisers on sml platform , i got a message [ expert execution not permissible ] in the journal tab ?

You need more FX pairs, JPY, USD, GBP, and AUD crosses, until then, I find no use for you.
On the MT4 platform you have to work with order scripts that will take care these parameters for your position.I was on SLM briefly.
I left with a £10 profit lol
But I think the main thing that put me off was execution. When I hit the BUY/SELL I want my trade covered with one click to do all this:
Stop
Take Profit
Trailing Stop
% of account for trade
There should be a preference tab where you can set your trade set up. ie
Stop 25 pips
Take profit 75 pips
Trailing stop 50 pips
Trade 2 % of my balance
For a trader like me that jumps in and out speed is the key
On your platform if I see the market move fast I have to type in the stop before I hit BUY/SELL. Yes you can just hit BUY/SELL then when in the position add your stop but by then the position may have reversed 100 pips
Plus the fractional pip just confused me, there should be an option to turn off fractional pips.
BUY/SELL should be a Tab showing the spread rather than a line. FXCM platform is rather the same but they have BUY/SELL tabs changing colour for rise and fall and the spread. On there the trader has the option to switch from line or tab so I'm sure you could do tabs on SLM.
The MACD histogram was just one colour not showing the change of rise and fall in colour.
Sorry rant over
Great support online and fast easy deposits and withdrawals.
If all the above are ever worked out let me know I would run back.
