is it worth demotrading with the Mt4 at this point or not ?
Im trading mt4 live with 4 different brokers, although they having almost similar
price quotes, but the feel is not the same. Some quotes may be a little lagging and some are similar on tick per tick basis.

Demotrading with this broker new with Mt4, should serves me to get that "feel" for switch hitting as a scalper. But different traders may have different
purpose in mind, I guess.

Little confused on the MT4 platform and an account.
If you are using neoticker with a pre-existing account and then say want to switch to MT4 for a platform then you need a second account to do that?

Yes, you will need a separate account to trade MetaTrader. Once we come off Beta, everyone will be able to open either account. You can easily transfer money between them, but you definitely will need two accounts as MetaTrader has an entirely different back end than Nav.

Meta Demo quotes will be different than the Navigator for now, but the Meta Live environment is the same price feed.

Let me clarify what I meant. We have two environments, Demo and Live. Both Nav and Meta in Demo share identical quote feeds, which means all of the liquidity showing on the ECN plus any customer limit orders placed IN DEMO. Both Nav and Meta in Live share indentical quote feeds, which means all of the liquidity showing on the ECN plus any customer limit orders placed VIA LIVE ACCOUNTS. Obviously, demo limit orders and live limit orders do not interact.

So again, our demo quotes for Meta and Nav should be identical to each other but probably slightly different than live quotes, but just barely.

I'm using the MBT MT4 demo platform and it appears they are offering the pair with a 12 pip spread.

Att Justin

I actually expected to see better spreads so I'm a lil dissapointed

IBFX(please excuse me for even mentioning)actually beats out MBT on the Cable/Yen with a spread of 1 pip less! But I'm down to maybe 4 pairs I can trade that are competitive in spread over there and Justin I hope your MT4 platform is ready soon, you'll get my money. Not much but you"ll get it!

Now I know you've never been asked this before. What is the ETA on MT4?
