Hi Justin,

Are there plans to offer a MT4 platform. I use a "Trade Manage" EA to control my trades after I am in them manually, as well as the great charts MT4 offers.

I don't mind paying the commission as I can write that off at the end of the year.

Although paying the spread AND a commission is quite irritating. I have been told by your staff that MB Trading doesn't get the spread..... It doesn't really matter who gets it.... I'M NOT and that is all that matters. (ie. 1 Std Lot of E/U is a 2 pip spread and then $12.00 round trip for the commission. At $10.00 per pip that's $20.00 for the spread and your $12.00 fee, that's $32.00 dollars it costs me for the trade, OR 3 pips any way you slice it.)

Please don't get me wrong, I have an active account there and trade long term positions on it daily. Your support is phenomenal and for the most part I am happy. I have a MT4 account at another broker that I actually trade more on. I would love to move all of my business to you.

Long story short....I would really love to see an MT4 platform.

Thanks,

Matrixxdg

Well that is not going to happen. Only Dealdesk brokers use Metatrader. It would not be a good thing for them to use such a platform that would not support the services they offer and would not support the ECN broker way of doing things.

so whats the minimum $size/pip?

justin plz light us up
panos60 ~

With MB you can trade .1 lot or 1000 currency units.

10 lots = 100,000
01 lots = 10,000 (on MB platform, all lots = 10,000)
.1 lot = 1000

I assume MBT groups my small mini lots orders into larger ones for execution on the IB market. Is this true?

If I trade during times with low volume (ie: news events), would it be faster to get execution on common order sizes such as $100,000 order vs. non-common orders such as $30,000?

Thanks.

Executions of all sizes sent through us are treated the same..it doesn't matter what size you input.

Thanks.

So if I send an order for $30,000 or $3,000,000, it should be executed at the same speed?

Absolutely, 100% as long as there is liquidity to support $3,000,000 at the time you submit the order. If you submit an order for $3M and there is only $2M, the rest of your order would be filled at the next best price.

Justin,

I noticed that if I pull up USD/ZAR market depth, I get live quotes from what appears to be a singular liquidity provider. Any chances MBT might be adding this pair in the future? (and/or USD/BRL?) thanks

Justin or anyone who knows, I have opened an account with MB but haven't funded it yet. I hope that the mobile trader capability that you were talking about doesn't get dropped and that it goes into play soon because that was one of the reason's I chose EFX,MB so that acces from any computer would be availablewithout downloading a platform. One other question, I'm on the navigator demo for awhile now, why do the trailing stop orders get dropped after you guys do daily maintenance, hope the live doesn't. TKS

Hi Trader KGB ~

I don't believe we will be adding either of these pairs - but I'll keep my ears open for you.

Anyone else experienced MBT Navigator freeze yesterday during FOMC statement release? I got disconnected from Quotes server and reconnected 30-40 sec later. This is the first time in over 2 years I experienced this problem during high volatility releases, so not bashing the platform here.

No problems here on QuoteTracker with MBT feed during FOMC.

Yes. Happens quite often actually. You have to log out and log back in to fix it.

I was in a trade right up til a minute before the news and exited with no problem.
My connection was fine all through the time after the news as I watched the wild spread-swings on many crosses.

I have funds at MB Trading. That always scares me when a financial website goes down without advance warning. Is it a tech issue (if so, where are the backup servers?) or did they go bankrupt?
