Scroll to the bottom of this page http://mbtrading.com/MBTnavigatorDownload.aspx and install the beta version of the Navigator.

Once you have it installed, go to Navigate, Tools, and either choose Research or Morning Notes. The morning notes are great, plus you can watch live TV or previously recorded news from the current day.
Thanks again Justin.

Thanks,

I don't actually trade with Ninja, but I keep it downloaded for this exact reason. If you need a good contact at Ninja, let me know.

Does MB have micro lots on the MT4 (0.01)? Broco seems to have 10 000 (0.1) as their minimum.

I'm part of your MT beta-testing and look forward to you offering it.

Q: When you implement MT, will it only be for Forex or will I also be able to trade stocks, futures, etc with it? I'm still looking for a broker where I can use my MT Expert Advisors on other things besides Forex.

try this Currenex + MetaTrader (same as MBT's metatrader demo)

$0 minimum

$5 roundturn

http://www.brocompany.com/trading-pl...roco-investor/

disadvantage,spread not as tight as MBT...but still worth it IMHO as you pay half the commission you pay with MBT (pro rated) no such thing as x1.33 etc

also russian based - come-on alpari is/was russian based too...

now MBT has competitor to lower down their commission - yey!
According to their website, they are located in Mauritius. I had no idea where that even was, so I looked it up and it's an island off the coast of Africa, near Madagascar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauritius

I don't know about you, but when I think about the safety and security of my money at a forex broker, the thought of it being in "Mauritius" doesn't exactly give me the warm fuzzies...

Anyone else had any delay in closing orders today? I closed out a short AUDUSD position in 3 parts, they were not particularly odd lots, or in times of extreme volatility but twice they took around 30 seconds to fill. First time I have experienced anything like that with MBT. Fortunately it did not make a great deal of difference to the result of the trade but it certainly could have done.

Again, I am experiencing what I consider to be unreasonable delays in order execution today. First I had an issue with a EURUSD market entry with about a 20 to 30 second delay on getting half of the order filled. I am not using particularly odd lots either so these should get matched up easily enough in the market. Then when exiting that position it took a long time, with the exit order sitting in the orderbook highlighted in red for about 30 seconds again, then eventually the order was broken up into odd parts. Fortunately I did not experience a great deal of slippage on these but the long delay caused me to re-think so I opted to use stop+TTO orders thinking this might solve the problem as they might be prioritised by the system. However, this did not seem to work as I just had a short stop set on EU at 1.32605 filled at an average of 1.3239 with the order highlighted in red sitting in the orderbook for over 60 seconds.

I have never had it this bad before. Perhaps trading an exotic pair in a dead Asian session I might expect to wait a few seconds but this was EU in the European session. The main reason I use MBT is because of the fast execution and limited slippage. What is going on and is anyone else having similar experiences?

Noted, but still I would not have expected such a delay considering the European session traditionally has the greatest volume and there is no bank holiday here. Plus, I was experiencing the same thing last week too. I do have the order execution set to favour price rather than speed, but I have used MBT for some time now and I have never had this problem before and I have traded bank holidays, dead Asian sessions, even dead Asian sessions on bank holidays. I will see what response I get back from support.

I have it set to price instead of speed also and have not noticed any problem or delays in execution.

FrankBlack ~

Unfortunately at this time MB does not accept accounts in EURO's, and therefore you would have to exchange your money with your bank prior to sending us your funds.
Any possible to have account in euros in the future? It's needed and it's a service which every broker should have.

jleblang hi.

I Have some qusetions about MB Trading.

1) Can I have an account in Euros?

2) Is the demo account the same with live account?

Question for users with live account with MB Trading.

1) What about re-quotes or slipage?

2) Do they have fast execution?

Please help me chose a broker.

Thanks.


No Euros.

Live quotes are actually slightly tighter than Demo quotes, which is a nice first for a broker.

No requotes possible in their system. Slippage is about the market and how you place your orders.

Very fast execution.

Hope that helps.

Thanks wannatradefx

I have decided that MB Trading is the best broker out there.

So even if I would prefer euro account when I try live I will go with them.

The lack of a Euro account option is something that comes up almost as much as the lack of MT4 used to. I am surprised MBT has not addressed this with their other new features, since they are constantly having people ask them for it. I for one would truly appreciate the option...

I like to hear from thoses who are Beta testering the Mt4. How are things coming alone? Are you using a Demo or real acct? Do you think they will be up and rolling by the end of 1Q?
