re: T2W Forex Contest - Mar 2012 - Win iPads & iPods!
Sorry to hear that. We've got some scaling issues with the amount of traders using the platform that we're in the process of resolving. Orders are always executed exactly when made, the problem is the amount of trades being processed means that sometimes when there's a heavy load, there's a delay in displaying confirmation to the trader. The order will always be executed though. So you end up with someone retrying and ending up opening or closing multiple lots. We hope to have this fixed soon, and in the meantime, I suggestion you assume the trade is executed as 99% of the time it will be.
Using the demo accounts of the company sponsoring the prize is a definite possibility. We already have the ability to do this with FXCM accounts, and all the info feeds into the forexdesk platform so we can still use the leaderboard and people can view other people's accounts in realtime. Adding support for other brokers can be complex, and with a different sponsor each month it's impossible to add support quick enough before the start of the contest.
