MBT Platform crashes very often?

Am I the only one to experience this?

MBT trading platform crashes too often I could not have it up longer than 10 minutes (no exaggeration).

I already tried this on 2 computers.

doesn't happen to me....

obviously it doesn't happen to everybody since if it did, they probably wouldn't be in business long.


perhaps you have similar other software installed on both computers? I used to thinks windows was so unstable... then I realized that I installed the same programs or drivers on all my computers ... and one of them was causing this instability. windows in general is pretty solid if you don't install any 3rd party software or drivers

One of the notebook is clean: no antivirus, no firewall, fully updated windows. totally bare.

i noticed that when I open a 2nd FX Board, then and only then will crash a few minutes later.

don't know... contact EFX / MBT to find out. Navigator works fine for me... although I only have about 9 or so pairs on the board. Worked fine on XP, now I have Vista and no probs with crashes either.

sorry, I didn't read your post properly

I never tried opening a 2nd FX board, perhaps that's the prob. I like the navigator a lot... it is very customizable

The navigator is very stable here, i dont remember any crash at all. Im using Windows XP SP2. Do you use Vista maybe? Lots of software has problems with Vista.

Expand your FX board window big enough so you dont need to scroll down the window when you are adding more pairs. Add the amount of pairs you want in the window and resize it.

Yes, That's exactly the problem. We'd better call it "bug".
How to avoid it, very simple. Change your layout style, let all the windows expand out, not all restrained in a big box. Then no matter how many you add another FX Board, it's always OK

I only have One (1) single Currency Pair per FX Board.

BUT I have 4 FX Boards. (May have same pairs or not..)

Honestly, its VERY frustrating....

The error is traced to the smallness of the windows.
1) When its too small to display only 1 pair like I have above, and when I tried (or accidentally) add another pair, it crashes.
2. Or when there are at least 2 pairs inside and I resized it down to show just one pair.

This is repeatable... And all the while MBT does not know how to fix this?

wow
one quick question:

how could you just let two buttons on each FX Board. buy and short.

no matter how hard I try, I just can have buy, short, cancell buttons all together
