To be fair, these guys are high frequency traders, and calling the desk to execute trades (except in emergency conditions) is not acceptable for them. There is a blurry line between a real, persistent issue and an intermittent issue that causes some ...

MBT Client Area 2.0 — Looks like MBT has rolled out the new Client Area as default(or maybe I had set it to default!). It is a major improvement in layout, useability and speed. Very nicely done Justin(& Ross & Dev Team of course!) Certain ...

This statement tells me just how lost you are. Congratulations, you're my first "ignore." :-)

This is the name of the game if you want to be more than "lucky" at Forex.

For anybody reading this thread, I thought I'd come back to say that I've since abandoned the VPS stance because I had a problem finding one that maintained acceptable ping rates and internet quality. What I did, was went back to VMWare Fusion and ...

I would say I'm a 1/2 time trader. I've usually got my platform up and eye on the charts from the beginning of the overlap to the end of US session and take trades when I can, but I have other things that keep me out of the market. I'm transitioning ...

I see your point. This is a problem. I guess when it happens to me, I just close at market and wait for the next trade. Approximately what lot sizes are you trading? I suppose in my case there is plenty of liquidity on the ECN for my orders, so its ...

Agreed.

I second this. The history servers need some work They also need to change the setting in Desktop Pro that caps the number of ticks that is loaded into any tick based chart to 500 ticks. I would imagine most traders need much more than this, I do. ...

Well then, this topic is kinda done for me until Justin comes back and tells us that MBT is dedicated to making their system work 100% for all of their clients, ultra-high-frequency-scalpers included and a fix is on the way. Or he could say that ...

I'm not saying that latency is the problem. I just mentioned it as something that has caused me problems with execution. We are talking about scalping (as he stated) which is very, very short timeframe. "I don't have a couple seconds to wait" I ...

bluej, can you tell me which broker you have used that guarantees execution 100% every time, has zero downtime at rollover, has a stable and comprehensive software platform(not MT4), has very low variable spreads(like .2-.5 for EU) and enough ...

bluej, I'm also a high frequency trader that makes upwards of 100 trades per session myself(although usually in the 25-50 range) and I have been absolutely thrilled with MBT's executions in the recent past(and before that as well.) I'm not going to ...

I'm wondering about the actual realities of it myself, but here has been my experience in the last couple weeks. You kind of have to fine tune your use of it but it works best when you "turn it on" at points where price is fast moving and *if it ...

Less than 1K execution — Justin, can you explain why I cannot close a position for less than 1K, but the desk can? One would think that if they can, that something could be incorporated into Desktop Pro to let us close small "straggler" lots ...

This forum is not about trading styles or "best practices" per se, but I thought I'd comment on it a little as it pertains to avoiding the kind of problems we are discussing, and since I'm feeling particularly pious and profound this morning! J/K ...

The folks over at the Oanda support forum are going to love you...
- RealPips replied Mar 17, 2011
Thanks for the explanation Justin. It's not really an issue for me any more because I only use Desktop Pro, which I'm very happy with now(except for the rendering issue), but there was a time when I was into MT4 and opened an account. I was just ...

Core — I've got a quick question Justin and you may have answered this before, but as we are talking about using Desktop simultaneously with MT4 it makes me wonder why it is necessary to have 2 different accounts. So Desktop Pro can trade from ...
