I have an account with interbank fx, and their servers have just gone down for the second time in a month. is this just something I should expect from a forex firm or is this unusual? Thanks.
For how long? Any firm that relies on technology will, at some point, experience issues. Even the NYSE and NASDAQ have been "down" at various times, it happens to everyone. Once it is more of a habit than an act you should look for a new broker, or at least one that lets you call in trades. Trader/God
It's happened before to Oanda - though they claim they were the victims of a DOS attack. True or not, I do not know, though it hasn't occured again since then.
Yeah, I can add that in volitile times Oanda keeps good. I know a couple of brokers that are sometimes NOT.
