DislikedHmmm, I don't know if you responded quickly to my post regarding #5 (to back-fill the missing data during the downtime) or if you had already fixed the issue prior to my post but I needed to "Refresh" my charts. I do know that I just restarted MT4, and I could still see the gaps on my open charts. However, when I opened brand new charts of other timeframes and/or symbols, in many of the charts (not all!) sometimes I didn't see data gaps (good). So back in my existing charts, if I saw a gap, I did a chart "Refresh". The chart in which I did "Refresh"...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Its been a very long day, so I'm gonna keep this brief and to the point... if you wish more elaboration perhaps I'll respond if time allows. For most of your post you discuss the crappy quality of the MT4 history data available and how such crappy backfill/history data affects your careful analysis. Yes, you are exactly correct the MT4 backfill/history data is not top notch, and yes, less than ideal data has material impact on your analysis. Trying to be very brief, let me say that this is what you should expect from an MT4 feed. Brokers...Ignored

Disliked{quote} I must agree 100% with Crass here. Mt4 is a one-size fits many type of retail charting and algorithmic trading package. While downtime at any broker is frowned upon, especially anything longer than a couple of minutes during high volatility, it does happen. I along with many other traders personally gave MetaQuotes a piece of my mind when build 500 was forced out. ..Ignored
Disliked{quote} Understood. To clarify, paying advertisers get to be directly in the brokers forum. But non-paying brokers are placed in the commercial forum. Is this correct? It would be nice if you could respond to these allegations recently reported in ForexMagnates. http://forexmagnates.com/mb-trading-...-requirements/ Looks like a reporting error, although in light of recent PFG scandals and such, be careful with maintaining proper regulatory standards.Ignored
DislikedOn Wednesday, MBT MT4 was down about 3.5 hours. On June 20th, it was down about 45 minutes. Occasionally, it might be down for shorter periods, but this is technology, and glitches happen. I don't know if MBT is better or worse than other live broker feeds, but until recently, I haven't seen enough of a persistent problem to even mention it. I had a live trade open on Wednesday. Had it been live, I would have been stopped out at the S/L at ~B.E. Had it come up after ~90 minutes, my trade could have been below the S/L, and presumably would have closed...Ignored
DislikedMBT growing SPREADs and diminishing LIQUIDITY Hi Jason, What happened to MBT SPREADS/liquidity? The spreads for majors almost doubled compared to 2011! The number of new ticks is down about 4-6 times! Even with pay for limits (limit/market round turn) it is not competitive anymore. Is MBT planning to improve its liquidity? Or is it going out of business? thx fIgnored
Disliked.......Vbfjax, I am a bit curious. You say "build 500", so I assume you are referring to MT4, not MT5, yes? MT4 is now at build 509, so I'm curious what about it was a problem? (I did disable one-click-trading, and also turn on the box to "use Alt key to drag trade levels"; and I notice that MT4 updates itself now without much user control, so is that your complaint? If you have links to other threads, thanks).Ignored

Disliked{quote} mt4, build 500 was "hidden" so you didn't realize you were upgraded until the next time you restarted the platform (no advanced warning/notification), and mt4 did NOT have the 'hold alt button to adjust trade levels'. You had to uncheck "show trade levels". Build 509 solved that problem. if you wanted to draw anything or move any existing objects on the chart without being prompted to modify an order. It was an extreme annoyance, among other bugs. MQ actually deleted some forum threads on mql4/5 of people who were attempting some honest...Ignored

Hi, can MB Trading consider adding a feature to change the opening and closing time a bar is calculated. Or just change it all together. My problem is the Sunday bar (from 5 PM Eastern to 12 AM) which then displays 6 trading days in a week vs. the usual 5. I notice this discrepancy on the MB Trading Meta trader terminal vs. other MT4 data feeds and even the MBT Desktop Pro data feed where the daily bar starts at 5 PM eastern USA time thus displaying 5 daily bars in a trading week. Or at the least can I get an explanation why there is this data discrepancy between the 2 MB Trading platforms.
Thanks,
Joe
