Just wondering when im using the advanced forex trading system sometimes all activities stop on the buy and sell, sometimes this can be for a couple of minutes sometimes less, Is this normal or is this the software freezing or my connection. Im using the FXCM trading system.

sometimes if there is a lot of volatility, the system will lag or even shut down for a minute or two.
i noticed this week that several times i had to retry closing positions several times.. -
a few minutes lag is no good for Forex. You know better that a few minutes can cause 100-150 points of difference..Comment

Cheers this is bad if its the software or server lagging due to a lot of activity. Like you said above a couple of minutes could loose you money

i should have mentioned that i dont usually set stops/limits...
if you have a limit set or stop loss, your trades should still get executed..
its only when i am manually closing out trades that i have had an issue and like i said it only happens when there is a lot of volatility..
whats going on in the forex market is unseen.. i made more money this week there ever before...
btw, hit me up if you ever want to chat about trading
i only turn icq on sun-thurs...

Thanks, I also have not tried setting limits or stop losses yet and I am also doing it manually. I am still playing with the practice trade station but I have now signed up and been accepted for a live account but wont be funding or using it just yet. I have always "so far" made a profit when ever I have used the practice station and just hope I can do the same when I do decide to "go live" and use real money ..shit this can suck you in if you aint carefull and you can make and loose a lot of money.
Thanks for the offer of chatting on ICQ I might just hit you up
