Hello Traders,

Quote from: pinkslink on November 05, 2015, 12:38:50 PM

it didnt get frozen (i understand the difference)
their server went offline for over 40 minutes (which they call slight downtime)
i mean offline not even getting a 403 at most of the period, and i checked using a few resources
it was then in maintenance for about 10 minutes before coming back online
and price did not drop suddenly but gradually over the 40+ minutes their server was down
which is what made it bad as i could see price dropping (on other sites) and nothing i could do about it

TBH i wasnt expecting anything from them
and i didnt ask for refund until their staff posted here that they would reimburse

but it seems that is just a post for public forum
as they now have just ignored my email and PM i sent here

it was funny how something similar also happened the next day
which only affected BTCUSD, BTCCNY (BTCEUR and BTCJPY were fine)
closed for 5 minutes and reopened $40 down, with no indication on screen (except for closed)
i not really care about that one but its not good for anyone using their platform

so to all
BE VERY CAUTIOUS using simpleFX

and it seems safe to say ignore any promise of reimbursment from such issues

any Bitcoin CFD gets frozen when in crazy volatily. they just can't handel the risk in those moments

i have not had any reply back from simplefx in regards to refund,
for my loss due to their server going offline

i also sent ANN a PM here but no reply and it seems she has logged in here since i sent PM
at this point i think i will just be ignored and the promise of being reimbursed is just for the public forum
or i may get a reply simply laying blame away from themselves, which is what i had in first reply
and they also refer to server being offline for nearly an hour as "slight downtime"
even when using MT4, the next day the 24/7 market closed for 5 minutes on simplefx and in that time price dropped $40

ok, i have just sent a reply to the email i got to see if you do actually refund my losses,
for those interested (this is included in email sent) and can easily be seen by my trades
i had trades running, it was 1:30am my time (GMT+7)
i closed all trades and took profit
i then opened two more trades just to see if movement was there, so i could put stop loss above opening and go to sleep
the trades were not doing anything so i decided to close the 2 trades and go to sleep, now 2:30am
just as i went to close them, simplefx server went offline,
it came back on later and i had lost 7.2342 bitcoins (2 trades) all due to the server going offline and completely out of my control

i will wait to see what they say in email rather than promise in public forum
hopefully simplefx are true to their word and refund my loss
(i also lost another 2.2 bitcoin immediately after trying to recoup loss but that was my own doing, but still a symptom of my initial loss due to server, which i would not have done otherwise, so in all i lost over 9 bitcoins)

i will post replies of emails and how simplefx handle this here for all

fingers crossed

you did not offer to refund my losses in the reply i got from you at all
i also lost again today
when your "24/7 market" closed for 5 minutes, this was even when using MT4
and at the exact same time BTC took a massive drop (makes me wonder)

whom do i contact about my initial loss ?
as it totally destroyed my trading, and it happened just as i was about to close all to go to sleep (GMT+7)
i had to wait then just to see i had lost a lot

Is SimpleFX properly equipped to handle customer activity during massive worldwide Bitcoin volume, such as the current Bitcoin boom run to $500 USD today? Nobody likes to see their exchange of choice go down when they absolutely need it the most. It can be devastating. Are there industry standards for how exchanges deal with massive volume? If so, do you meet these standards?

Hello Traders!
1. After Affiliate Program implementing our main focus is now 2FA and new instruments.
2. We also recommend to watch our Q&A session on BTCVIX VIX's Whale Club TeamSpeak Server weekly podcast: http://youtu.be/9OLDL33oMCY
3. Unfortunately we do not have micro or mini accounts. I would recommend to test our platform on demo account.

can i have micro or mini account on simplefx?

because 1 pip = 40k sat is too big for me to test the site with real account not demo account..maybe in the forex like 1 pip= 0.01 usd...

A $impleFX representative had an hour long Q&A yesterday on BTCVIX VIX's Whale Club TeamSpeak Server weekly podcast.

It was a pretty good session with a four other man panel. A lot of topics were covered.

hi guys.. i had a lot of fun already on this trading platform..

what would be nice to have is :

when entering a buy or sell.; how much profit i'll make if price moves 1% in my good direction. so i can calculate intantly how much i need to like 1broker has.µ

read about position sizing.

what I use is this: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=281772
great script

and btw: for forex pairs generaly 1 pip means $10 in a 1 Lot position

Or something similar that makes it realy easy

everytime i'm making an order .. i'll stick to 0.01 contract because i have no idea what it will result into if i'm doing a market order.. and i want to be fast..

2FA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! needs to be implemented .; for withdraws as fast as possible

and email confirmation on top of that would be also great to have..

thanks ..and keep adding markets.. not sure how you guys make money.; but most of the markets are pretty hard to trade because they are traded by the elite of the world
why not add a few markets who are less difficult .. like bitcoin market;. but then with smaller spreads

But thanks for the great service already.. i like it a lot.. so far.

https://simplefx.com/?sfx-r=b9acece2-d022-4f9b-a40a-e35cbf9097b0 for anyone who wants to get 50% of the affiliate that i make on you .. give me a shout..

Hello guys.

Im new on this forum, I kinda jumped in without checking simplefx out fully, I have got 2 live accounts the deposited amounts were 16BTC in and one 18BTC in the other, profited about 4BTC on both so far.... I have been very happy so far but I have not tried a withdrawal yet, I would be happy to use this thread to report status updates to let people know more information about the actual legitimacy of simplefx, im planning on doing a withdrawal just yet but when I do ill report the details on here, I know im new on this forum... its the only one I could find with a decent thread on simplefx.. so on this basis ill include screenshots along with the updates as and when I have them...

cheers
russell
