AHH! So it's not just me. I mean I was able to buy and sell when it was freezing, but I the 1-2 times I tried it I wasn't getting filled at the LIVE rates I was receiving on MetaTrader and so I don't regard them as executable. Even if the price was frozen on FXCM, and I tried to purchase or sell at that price, I still got filled at something different. Edit: And now everything is working fine, but this has been almost 3 days that at various times I've been trading, prolonged freeze ups have been occuring. In no way acceptable, for a broker who claims they do a lot of business.
I have experienced the same freezes for the past several days as well. It really is garbage. But at least today's action was tradable (to some extent). For example, when the Canadian data came out at 10amEST this morning the FXCM prices hung 15 pips low and were executable. That meant when the prices on FXCM's platform caught up to reality you were up 15 pips. Rare exception I suppose. Despite any freezing, all stops (even trailing) remained intact and corresponded to the market. I simply can't feel sorry for anyone trading without a stop in place. Hopefully people had their asses covered.
