Got burned by another broker’s platform crashing during NFP last month. Considering FBS but need real data – does this community have live dashboards or aggregated user reports showing FBS MT5 uptime during major events? Prefer actual numbers over marketing claims.
Check forum’s broker status section. Updated live.
We maintain real-time platform reliability scores in the Tools section. FBS scored 97.4% uptime during last CPI release. Compare that to their 99% claim. The dashboard shows outage durations and user-reported latency. Critical for scalpers – anything below 98% during London/New York overlap is risky. Test yourself with demo during next Fed meeting.
There’s a crowd-sourced uptime tracker pinned in the FBS discussion thread. Users submit timestamps when they experience lag or disconnects. Last ECB meeting showed three 10-second freezes on FBS MT5. Nothing major but worth monitoring.
The reports reset weekly. Check historical data there.
During January’s JPY surge FBS had 45 seconds of order freezing. Documented in the community incident log with screenshots. Their web platform fared better than MT5 that day. Now I keep both platforms open as backup. Search ‘FBS downtime logs’ here – filter by economic calendar dates.
