Now I know why X_Trader is "free" with velocity. It's been down for 1 hour. Thankfully I was trading on sim. For traders who had on big size when it froze up that must have really sucked. So I chat with them and they say "we're working on it". That was 30 minutes ago.
Does this happen often with velocity? It's not giving me much confidence. I can only remember zenfire being down once during RTH and that's in 2 years.
Velocity was down for over an hour, maybe more. Maybe it's coincidence and that's their own downtime per year but I'll be watching them closely.
I haven't looked at CQG or CTS T4. Do they show the cumulative volume on the DOM? That's mainly what I'm looking for so that I can see if contracts are traded or pulled.
CQG looks very interesting, I'm going to do a demo. Thanks for the links to the other threads, I'm subscribed to the CQG thread. Velocity doesn't offer T4.
Hello Cunparis - I've had an account with Velocity for 2 months now and also had a problem yesterday. However when I contacted them, they were extremely helpful. They ran a trace route from my machine to their servers showing me the issue was the internet and not them at all. After contacting my ISP they too confirmed my connection was failing on it's way to the Velocity servers. I noticed you're in Paris? If I were that far away I think I'd have to colocate to remove the many ''hops'' needed to reach the US servers. I highly recommend Velocity (excellent portal & features) and X_TRADER. Dale more than matched my previous brokers commissions and I'm not even paying for X_TRADER anymore!
