Never had any issues

Service use: Live Length of use: over 1 Year
First off, let me tell you that I last traded with Go Markets in 2014 and hence my review is not based on latest practices. The only reason why I came here to write this is the overwhelming negative feedback on this broker for WITHDRAWALS which according to me seems totally fake!

In 2014, I deposited US$5k and converted that to $18k in one month after some crazy stupid trading and using excessive leverage - I sent a withdrawal request and it was super fast with, of course, no questions asked. I will not comment on spreads / swaps / comms. since i wasn't even bothered about it back then so never paid any attention on that front!

This is 2020 - Markets are highly regulated - no broker on this planet would stop you out by creating some fake price moves or spike up the spreads only to get your 1 micro lot or 1 mini lot stopped out - I think its high time that traders take responsibility of their own actions instead of making their broker a scapegoat.

We can compare feeds from different brokers and check their OHLC and compare LIVE spreads on myfxbook 24/5.

Its an irony that I made profits with Go Markets (Who dont claim to be pure play ECN) and I lost a lot of money with DMA brokers - The point is - It all boils down to us, as traders. When I made profits with Go Markets - it was luck based (No withdrawal issues at all) and when I lost money with DMA broker, it was purely because of my trading psychology issues - I cannot and will not pass that blame to the broker

Go Markets is the best !

Quite honestly I don't understand the negative reviews on this company ! I've been with Go Markets for 3 1/2 years now and all I can say is they're not only very friendly and helpful, but also 100% correct - after all, they're highly regulated. They even helped me out recently (to their own detriment) when I got hit by the flash crash on 03.01.19.
I've been with so many brokers till now, but this one beats them all when it comes to competence and fairness. As for widening spreads etc. (see negative reviews), all companies do this in times of low liquidity - after all, brokers also carry risks !
All in all, I'm perfectly satisfied with Go Markets !

Honest & Reliable Fx Broker (I work for them and I'm leaving a fake review))

I have been trading with gomarkets since 2013. I have made a decent profit (approx. 3 to 4 times of my initial investment). They have always processed my withdrawal on time. I am super confident to say that they have THE Best support services.
I will strongly recommend this company. Their spreads and execution is as good as prime broker.

I can't believe some of the bad reviews I have seen about go markets.
I have been with them for about 5 years. With 2 problems I've had in MT4 platform, I rang them once, and they used software to remotely view my screen and fixed it. The other time using online chat at their website.
The spreads are low. You can get high leverage if you want.
The people don't have funny accents like most companies when you ring and get someone who speaks English as their 5th language.
I have used a lot of brokers, and go is by far the best. Some were dreadful, and clearly stop loss hunter, or gave requotes.
I don't trade the news, but if you do, beware whatever broker you use. During Non Farm Payroll, go markets spread only increased 2 pips.

Unjustified Deduction and Poor Communication - Seeking Help!

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
Communication - Seeking Help!**
I am writing this review to bring to light my recent distressing experience with GO Markets. On March 6, 2024, I was informed by a customer support representative, Amy (GOMU), that a "corrective adjustment" was made to my trading account (No. 50013243) due to a "technical issue" related to Natural Gas swap rates for the dates of February 28, February 29, and March 1. This adjustment resulted in a substantial, unjustified deduction of $5,513.15 from my account.

What's particularly troubling is the retrospective change of the swap rates from positive to negative, which directly contradicts the initial terms. Despite my efforts to seek a detailed explanation and clarity on how these numbers were calculated, my requests have gone unanswered. The lack of feedback and transparency is alarming, and the financial impact on my account is significant.

Furthermore, the adjustment made due to the so-called "technical issue" and the subsequent charges imposed without proper notification or justification raise serious concerns about the integrity and reliability of GO Markets' trading environment. This experience has left me feeling exploited and disregarded as a customer.

It is crucial to highlight such practices to protect other traders from potential unfair treatment and financial losses. I hope that by sharing my experience, I can receive the necessary guidance and assistance to resolve this matter fairly and prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.

Charging fees and still not allowing me to withdraw

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
I took all my investments and won't allow me to withdraw anything. Every time I consulted to them I had to pay fees and penalties. Let me give a run down. I sent them this message down below.
You gave me the deadline for the fee for the IP address Nov 22 not only did I give it before time not long after you ask for fee for custody in which I gave you in less than 1 week now you want to penalize me for adhering to your deadlines. This is absolutely malicious, and cruel, it's obvious that you have no desire for me to withdraw any of my funds! How do you expect me to keep paying you stuff without any return of my actual investment? This is such a vicious thing for human beings to do. They are very cold. They haven't replied to my message since I sent this. They wanted me to pay 6k this is after I gave them 16k for fees and verification. I'm in more debt than I was before.

I had a horrifying experience with Go Markets

Service use: Live Length of use: 3-6 Months
I had a horrifying experience when Go Markets took all my profits for no apparent reason. I asked their support about dividend-related matters, specifically if I would be charged any fees for holding sell orders overnight. I received information from the support representative of the platform, assuring me that I would not be charged any fees when holding dividend-related orders overnight. When I received this information and began trading, Go Market deducted $2080 from my account. I inquired about this with Go Market, and they claimed not to charge anything, despite this unauthorized deduction. I provided evidence and emailed them to request a refund, but Go Market refused and blamed the customer for not having a clear understanding of the information.
In reality, Go Market's support provided incorrect information to the customer, ultimately causing the customer to lose $2080. Meanwhile, Go Market profited from this incorrect information.
I also posted about this issue on Trustpilot, and Go Market paid Trustpilot to remove all my reviews.
I hope the community can help me recover the money that Go Market took from me. I have collected all the evidence of Go Market's wrongdoing.  Sincerely, thank you.

Account Balance shows zero. Being fobbed off by technical support

Service use: Live Length of use: over 1 Year
I have been trading with GoMarkets on live accounts with MT4 for well over 10 years. Over that time I have run into a few technical problems with MT4. I have generally found GoMarkets tech support appalling but since I have an IT background I have always managed to sort out the problems by myself.

A week or so ago Metatrader did an automatic upgrade of MT4 to version 4.00 Build 1320 and I immediately started experiencing a strange problem which I have been unable to resolve.
Sometime MT4 works normally but at other times, often for several hours at a time it will come up with a zero account balance even though there is a substantial amount of money in the account. Then after an indefinite period of time (often many hours) it will reconnect and start working again. I have tried all the usual stuff such as rebooting the computer and re logging into the account multiple times etc as well as monitoring network traffic, cpu usage etc but I haven't as yet been able to figure this one out.

I contacted GoMarkets tech support a few days ago but I am just being given the run around. First they told me I needed a faster internet connection. I have NBN fibre optic with a 5Ghz connection. You don't get much better than that in Australia. I have been using this network for many months with Metatrader without a problem. In any case, the way I trade, the internet data requirements for MT4 are very modest. Data usage is typically only about 100 megabytes a day so my NBN fibre optic network is vast overkill.

The next thing they tried to tell me was that their IT dept had monitored my internet connection and it was faulty. I am curious how they managed to do this without having access to my network which I most certainly haven't provided them with. They sent me a list of my attempted logins as proof of their claim. To my way of thinking it proves the opposite. If my internet connection was faulty I wouldn't be able to log in at all. My multiple login attempts take place when MT4 is showing zero balance (i.e not working). Of course the internet connection works fine for everything else at these times.

I tried accessing the account with an older version of MT4 using the same internet network and at the same time as when the current version of MT4 wasn't working. The old version appears to work fine but the new one doesn't. Since this is an intermittent problem with the new version this unfortunately is not conclusive proof.

It looks to me very much like this problem has somethng to do with the MT4 upgrade but the support people at GoMarkets won't have a bar of this and have basically just fobbed me of and told me to fix my internet problem.

Not only can't I trade at the moment but I am really frustrated by GoMarket's complete lack of competent technical support together with a general unwillingness to even try and help. It really makes me wonder if the rest of the company is run in similar appallingly bad way. If so it seems to be that it might be time to move to another broker who can offer amongst other things reasonable technical support.

This post is to report on my highly unsatisfactory experiences with GoMarkets technical support. I apologise for all the techo stuff but I thought it necessary to provide a full and accurate account of my experiences. I was also wondering if anybody else has experienced anything similar to this with GoMarkets or MT4.
