I have been figuring out ways to bridge MT4 EA with my MBT account. Has anyone done this already?

I came upon this website: www.quotetracker.com/help/QTTradingAPI-MB.shtml
Has anyone tried them?

If you are working on similar project and would like to collaborate, perhaps we can hasten things up.

QuoteTracker is great, I use it 24/7 for MBT FX quotes and indices/equities/futures on IB. Although I don't have a funded account with MBT, the quotes, charts, and level 2 data interface fine. I imagine orders would work just as well too.

There's no chart backfill for MBT unfortunately, I use IB for that.

BurgerKing,

A friend of mine did this for me on a demo acct. last year by coding a dll and it works, I don't have the source code though. But there are couple of problems:

1. MBT doesn't allow hedging (buy and sell same pair without offset each other) and my EAs are all based hedging, kinda like grid trading..

2. MBT's swap rate is too high.

so I never used it live. But I am sure it can be done. Now I am just waiting for Alpari opens up in the US. Good luck.

I thought about this sometimes ago, and got this idea to write an MBT-SDK a .csv history file which then converted to .hst and read by MT4. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to follow it through. I got to meet my family's ends and conditions in my country for the last few months were slide down from bad to worse.

Still, if you want to share ideas, feel free to pm me. Only, do forgive if I'm a bit late in response.

Thanks.

It is easily achievable to initiate trading from an EA, however if you use indicators in your EA they will be based on the charts in MT4 but you will be actually trading on MBT. If this is not a problem I believe this can be easily done. I have done MT4 bridges for other purposes. Well I have not connected them to MBTSDK but I have as well done a little programming in MBTSDK and from what I have seen it seems possible.

I have been using MBT for close to a year now and there are alot of things I like about them but I've been considering changing brokers simply because I cannot utilize the power and resources (forums like this) available with MT4. So I am very interested in any progress that as been made in the effort to bridge the two. Although I am not a programmer/coder, I would be willing to help in any way I can. Thanks.

I have found a person who is willing to bridge this for $800 one time fee.
-ECN
-No dealing desk
-Spread are low check out MBTrading
-No game
If you want it let me know we can share the cost. 2person=400 3p/266 4p/200 ect


I know mbt will come out with MT4 soon but I rather stay away from runing it in live account as it take years for all bug to be fix.

I was hoping to trade my EAs at MBT last year after I was disgusted with MT4's built in broker cheats. But this offer comes way late unfortunately.

After not trading my EA for almost a year, Im not in a hurry to wait longer to trade them at MBT's MT4 implementation.

If any one interested please post. so far I have one other person. so it's 400 atm. If you interested this would be good investment for you as you will find out sooner or later that every MT4 broker are in business to make money from you not to help you make money. Help me put in the cost and this will save you who know how much later. DOT THROW YOUR MONEY AWAY invest smart.

Spread are very low such as Eur/Gbp are avg of 1pip and you pay 50 cent for 10,000 in commission. saving one pip in spread think of that in percent that is huge. Most broker you will find now are rip off avg of 5-7 in Eur/Gbp.

MBT has already come out with their own MT4 (beta), available free to all clients. Who needs a bridge anymore?

Is that were actually true, won't your bridge take even longer to work out the bugs, since you don't have an entire broker's IT division helping you like they do?

MBT have no idea when they will have it done. As far as I know their MT4 crash every day on MT4. My EA don't work right on it also. You don't want that thing until all bug are fix. So if you are going to trade live with it it can disconect you at any time to fix server jam. Look at how long ATC broker been open with ECN they still have alot of problem til now

So it will need to be test before going live with it. I will need to test my EA and such. If it don't work I don't pay them for the job.

not really worth the effort now. Should be just a few months before MBT releases MT4 to go live. Currently in beta testing
