IBFX(please excuse me for even mentioning)actually beats out MBT on the Cable/Yen with a spread of 1 pip less!

My IBFX spread on GBP/JPY is a pretty consistent 9 pips...

Very noticeable tightening on GJ with MBT. Justin, can we expect this to continue? I quit using MBT in August when the spread simply was un-tradable...

Justin,

Any plans for the Mult-Terminal version of MT4 for managing accounts? I didn't see any hints about it on the MBT new site.

Any timeframe for going MT4 live?

Best idea would be to sign up for today’s Catching Up with MB Trading webinar and ask these questions. If you can’t attend live, by registering, you will be able to hear the recording.

Not every webinar will be recorded, but many will be and posted for viewing at a later time. It is also our intention once we start running the webinars on a daily basis to make sure we accommodate all time zones.

Since this seems to come up quite a bit, I'm going to post the information here:

Regarding the Quotes

  1. Live quotes in Nav and Live quotes in Meta are the same.
  2. Demo quotes in Nav and Demo quotes in Meta are the same.

So for example, using the EUR/GBP. Let's say that the quote is 0.9040 by 0.9050 at the bank level (which is probably wider than it would really be during European, but let's give that example).

 Now, let's say in the Live environment, one of our customers places a Limit order to buy 10 EUR/GBP at 0.9045. That now becomes the bid, so the quote in the live environment is now 0.9045 by 0.9050. But demo would still show 0.9040 by 0.9050. A 5 pip difference. Note that the same would be true in reverse if someone in Demo put a buy limit at 0.9045. The live quote would still be 0.9040 by 0.9050 because obviously the demo order isn't real for a live trader to hit.

 So those are the only differences you'll see in quotes, which is the same as comparing our Nav demo quotes to Nav live quotes.

 Regarding Back Testing

 Backtesting. When we come off of Beta, we will have years of backdata available. In the meantime, there is about one month's data, and some of it has gaps from when we put code updates on the server.

We will not be installing the backdata until we go live for a variety of reasons, one of which is that it still gets messed up as we continue to update our bridge with fixes.

If you visit MBT MetaTrader 4 Download, the version that installs should be Build 220. I just did it myself to double check.

Hi Justin !

I just downloaded the MT4-demo and installed it on my office PC.

I configured the proxy server details in the same manner as my existing
IBFX demo account.

After opening I got an error message => Wrong Proxy

Is it not possible to trade via HTTP proxy or do I have to register my
MT4 demo first ?

Greetings

Bernhard

P.S. Thanks for the informative Webinar yesterday

Hi Justin

I just tried to open a demo account in MT4, but it never gave me a user/password.
Do I need to use the demo account I already have setup for navigator? If you need my account details to get it setup on the server for beta testing or just demo, pm me and I'll send the details.

Forex accounts are kept separate from the Stocks, Futures, & Options Global One account. You would need to open a new account to trade those markets.

I called and talked to Jason. He got me setup and emailed my login info.
Is there any time frame when you think all the history data will be entered? I'd like to do some back testing if possible. Does the platform have to be connected for trailing stops to work?
I like the versatility of navigator for the different combo of orders. How similar will mt4 be?
Sorry for all the questions, if it'll be better to check out a webinar just tell me and I'll try to make one.

Justin,

A few friends were alerting me to the fact that CFTC may increase the Min. Capital Requirments to $20 Million soon while the present capital of MB Trading is $14 Million.

Actually, I just found NFA's official notice to all members regarding this issue:

http://www.nfa.futures.org/news/news...ArticleID=2198


I appreciate commenting on this concern.

KC,

Please see my previous post regarding backtesting: http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...postcount=2889

MT4 will offer similar combo orders as the Navigator, but because we turned off the deal desk functions in MT4, the process for entering such orders might be different.
