MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Hi Justin,

does it accept 0.1 lot(1000 currency units)?
does it have OCA(One Cancel All) order?

Justin,

I understand that the software (MBT Navigator) cannot work through proxy. Is there any other way to get it run in my office (firewall + proxy?)

Thanks

TickJob,

Yes, the system does accept orders as low as .1 (1000 currency units).

What exactly were you trying to accomplish with the OCA?

Hi Zamans,

I can provide you with a list of ports that need to be opened if you wish.

Hi all-

Just a quick update on the Forex Pro. We've had less than 5% of our accounts report an issue with the product, which is higher than we'd like but not so high as to suggest there is a big problem. After taking trouble tickets from people for the last two months, we have determined the following. Please note that this relates to the following two issues:

1) Quotes show as all zeroes when you log in.

2) Pro locks when you enter an order (order is entered, but platform locks and you have to reboot).

First of all, a certain percent of the problems were reported on Windows Vista machines. Please note that the product has not been certified for Vista, but it does seem to work fine on many Vista machines. If you are using Vista and have a problem with Pro, we cannot help you troubleshoot the issue at this time.

The bulk of the other problems seem to relate to the following:

1) Machines running Windows XP Home with AVG anti-virus program.

2) Machines running Windows XP Home with ZoneAlarm anti-virus program.

85% of reported issues were reported by people with one of the two above items. It's interesting that almost no one with Windows XP Pro is reporting any issues. At the same time, we cannot account for all possible firewall and anti-virus programs. If you are running either of these programs and having trouble, it seems likely that the virus programs are not allowing the Pro to log in properly (especially in the case of the zero quote issue).

One solution is to uninstall the Pro and the Navigator, delete their directories (EFX and EFX Navigator) out of the c:/program files directory, and then reboot. Install Navigator and then Pro. We recommend that you do this using Internet Explorer straight from our website (Run..., don't Save As... to your machine). Then, make sure that your anti-virus program has been told to allow these programs to run. That should solve many of these issues.

Beyond that, let me state the following.

We will not be certifying the Pro for use with Vista because of Project Omega. Once Omega is available, Pro will no longer be offered. In the meantime, the Pro seems to work fine for most of you that choose to use it, and we ask that you consider the steps above if your machine is running the programs listed above and experiences any issues. Beyond that, you can always feel free to contact us about any issues that you might have, or come to a webinar on the Pro to see how to use it.

I'm afraid this cannot be done, as it needs a higher authority to do so.

Back to the Project Omega, can it be something like MT4 platform?

I find it's easier than MBT Navigator or Forex Pro

Does MBTrading also accept 0.1 (1000 currency units since both are the same platform?

I have checked and found that your Limit+TTO and others combined order types are in fact OCA , no more issue.

But I have problem to code Limit+TTO in SmartQuant, which has only OCA function. Any idea how to code using Limit+TTO in SmartQuant?

Get a wireless 3.5G modem

its a good idea, if I'm making hundred of pips, I don't mind

I don't know where are you, in Singapore, it is only $38 singapore dollar a month, unless you are students otherwise it is considered quite cheap.

Hi Justin,

last night I watched a recorded webinar. You explained the "trade through" function as an opportunity to trade between the spread.
Unfortunately I did not understand this part - you were so fast...

So I hope you can answer to my questions here.
Assume, we want to go long at 100, the spread is 5.

By choosing the trade through option combined with a buy stop order - which price will I have to pay - 100 or 105 ? And what if we choose a buy stop limit order?

Then, after we got into the trade we like to put our stop loss at 90. Will the trade through option combined with a sell stop give me 90?

Thank you so much for the discussion on this forum.

Hi All,

After Trading live with EFX for a few days I just wanted to confirm that the LIVE server seems to be stable. -I voiced concerns about the demo server being a bit erratic but no such problems live.
I was told this would be the case but thought I'd just chuck in my 2c..
Happy trading
Paul

Hi Freewheeling ~

Thanks for joining us last night.

Realize that trading between the spread and using the stop method preferences are two separate items.

When trading between the spread all you are really doing is placing a limit order between the bid/ask price, becoming the best bid or offer for all clients on our system to see.

Stop Method preferences allow you to adjust where you would like to be stopped out of your trade once you are already in the market. See attached example:

This particular feature would be a wonderful on a deal desk...but don't count on it -

I hope this helps!

Thanks Paul - I'm really glad to hear that.

I appreciate you taking the time to post this message.

Justin,

Come on... how about giving us just a tiny little bit more info on Omega? Is it going to be available by September? or closer to December? We are sooo looking forward to Omega that any new information from your tight lips would raise our spirits!

Hi Justin,
thank you for the file. That helps really!

Great work.

With the Navigator software, is there a way to trade options on the spot currencies? What would I need to do to trade these options?

on MB trading main site, stated that you need to open another sub-account of option? only then it will appears in the navigator...

Justin

Send you a PM last week, still waiting for response.

and when will the SPOT GOLD trading starts? Perhaps SPOT SILVER is better than that crap Forex pair (USD vs CZK,DKK, MXN,NOK,SEK)
