Their demo server is often going down, missing data and now its off line and has been all day. No-one there seems to care.

Is anyone still trading with WHC broker? Or is there any other MT4 broker offering 6J symbol?

can anyone confirm if there live data server is more reliable? i assume it would be.

I can't speak for the live servers but I have been using their demo servers 24/5 for 4 months now and I have found them very reliable, which contradicts what a previous poster said.

Does anyone know how WHC are faring financially - any chance of them being going under?

I agree with omelette. I have been using their demo platform since 3/07 and only experienced minimal interruption and only after peak trading hours on emini futures. There was one time when the disconnect was longer than usual and from what I understood it was possibly due to their data source server problem in USA. Their live data server is much more reliable. I also use Ninja Trader and I can attest that WHC's futures prices are the same ones shown on Ninja Trader.

From what I have gathered they are working hard on their registration/certification with an European regulatory agency. I know that their brokers/providers for futures are NFA registered, i.e. Mann Financial, TransAct.

ENJOY!

I've traded a lot with them for a few months and last Friday morning was the very first time I had a delay in data. I immediately restarted the software and in seconds was back to normal - it could have been the internet and not them. I love 'em but haven't made the tons of doe I want before withdrawing so haven't done that yet. They just started a new demo server according to a recent platform mail:

ATTENTION! ! ! Demo server transferred to another host.
New IP : 216.93.180.133:443
New build of WHC Trader 4.0 with a new IP address will be available on Monday, August 6. For those who do not wish to download the new terminal, there is a possibility to add new IP manually:
Menu-terminal Tools / Options
Write new IP : 216.93.180.133:443

Sincerely, Administration

I get no connection with this new IP (but old is working good here)

Both demo servers down again today Aug 7th - it was off line for 16 mins from 13:02 - 13:18 WHC chart time - check out your 1m charts of Cable futures (6B) and you will see the gap in the data

I would like to know how reliable is it for real trading, I mean, how many of you think you can actually withdraw money from there. I am very suspicious about them, I see questions unanswered on forums, PR girls that I had to get words from them with pliers...and, I almost forgot, if they are registered with a regulatory body and a link where we can see it's for real. WHC has the richest datafeed among brokers, looks to me like a sticky tape to catch flies with it!

WHC could be the "best" broker for mt4 user but they have to consider to have nfa or fsa agreement with strong bank garanties. To be russian had a price. ;-)

their demo is professional. to be honest there is no equivalent ...

bravo whc !
