I've just tested it and have no issues. Please make sure you have the correct terminal installed and access the correct server

MT4: https://fibogroup.eu/files/program/fg4setup.exe
Server: FIBOGroup-FIBO GROUP HOLDINGS LTD DEMO

I think their server may be overloaded - hopefully it should sort itself out.

Tested again and trades are filled instantaneously - make sure you use the correct MT4/server.

I just closed my open terminal and clicked the link you gave, run the exe file, and still got the same problem.

All chart windows say 'Waiting for update'

Connection status shows DEMO Data Server-2 but only 92/0 kbs

Obviously these crazy mob has server issues

Yup... obviously FIBO is just another wannabe broker

So I wonder if it's a 'first come, first serve' arrangement? Might be waiting awhile...

Its a beginner broker obviously, I've never heard of them.

Probably based in a far off country with poor internet access... that would explain their server issues.

Nigeria, Argentina, Mongolia... who knows?

Might even be a kid in a basement in the outback of Australia.

If this FIBO mob can't afford to buy bandwidth, I doubt they'll honor paying the contest winners.

It has nothing to do with the broker but with how MT4 works - please close all charts and open new ones from the menu.
