when mt4 platform will be available for traders with real account with mb trading ?
No ETA.

When we feel confident it is ready for retail use, then it will be released.

Hi Justin,
1. I have a Demo account for MBT Navigator, but I do not have access to the Reports area (it looks like my demo user is not activated on the web). What should I do in order to access it?
2. does MBT have a Pocket PC/Microsoft Windows Mobile version of MBT Navigator? I travel a lot and is quite important for me to be able to check/place/modify orders via a smartphone.

Justin,

Since we are discussing TTO's I have a question. In the past I have used this and say I go long with a TTO. Later my upper limit is hit and it closes me out of the trade. However the lower part of the TTO is still in the open orders, so there is a chance that it could be hit later and open a new short position if I'm not there to watch it. Is this your experience?

Thanks,
Brent

Justin,

Can you tell me how to put a STOP LOSS?

Market +TTO?

I *think* I had it working, where I put an up trigger, and a down trigger.. obviously your stop will be your DOWN trigger if you are going long, OR your UP trigger if you are going SHORT?

I was in a deal EURO/USD yesterday, up $380.. I couldn't close my deal.. nothing in the box to 'close' It just said CANCEL CXL? Was I supposed to cancel that - then it would give me a close deal option? because it wanted me to edit my up and down triggers again...


Please reply..

FYI...another "emergency" measure I have found is to right click on the open position in Navigator and it will give you the option to close all deals. I have used it in a fast market when I made an error or when emotions have taken hold.

Hi Justin,

Just discovered your beta charts for Navigator, and wanted to say "Wooo hoo! Very nifty!!" You guys are getting better and better everyday

I know it's still in Beta, so have accepted that there are limitations. I noticed that Candlesticks and bar charts are available, but line charts are not. Strange... Just wanted to let you know. Seems that line charts should be a basic option in any charting software. I did call your techs about it; they couldn't find it either.

Anyways, I'm sure it's a work in progress, and just wanted to add my thumbs up and a request for the line charts.

Thanks!

Thank you Dahlia - yes, many positive changes are being made and lots of other great things coming soon.

Have you checked out the Research Section in the Beta yet? Go to Navigate and either select 'Morning Notes' or 'Research'. I'm working on scheduling a webinar for the MN and Research for next week that will go through in detail how to use it to the max.

Brent,

TTO's are 'one cancels the other' and I have never heard of it not working properly. Does this happen frequently or was this a one time situation?

Sorry can not recall, because I quit using them. But if I'm understanding you correctly they should work, so I'll give it a go tomorrow just to see.

Also what if i have an existing order and I put in a take profit and a stop loss when the one is hit will the other one be canceled also?

Thanks again,
Brent

Give it a try and let me know. You should find that TTO's will always act as OCO orders, even if you add to an already existing position.

Dude how many times does he have to say there is no ETA? Why do you complain, do you think if they thought they could go live with it they wouldnt? Try using just a little bit of your brain and think as to why they havent gone live with it. I bet you are the same guy who would complain if they turned it on tomorrow and it wasnt working properly. You want an ETA, ill give you one, stay Fing tuned. BTW i dont even care about MT4 or MB for that matter (at least until they get their commish down to 20 per M) but people like you waste to much space and time.

Take a pack of chill pill and chill out! I'm saying it would be nice. Most project have time line so what's wrong with asking for update. I'm not the only one who speak up as you can see. If you don't care about MBT then stay the Fout of this tread. and don't even complain about their commission if you don't think some one have right to say sh!t. a55

I know you have to call them for a user name and password. However, I haven't been able to connect for the past two weeks as well, even with the new server.

'I was demo trading the last few days. I didn’t do so well and Friday I was 800.000 units long on Eur/Usd with an average price of 1.2911. I had used all my margin. My demo account had 10.400 $ capital and at some point I couldnt buy any more lots. As you all know the price kept going down to 1.2705 or something. My account value had gone to -5.000 or -6.000 $. My urealized P&L was -15.000 $.
I thought that I should have been margined out. I thought that my trades would automaticaly closed and my account would go to zero. But instead I just couldnt do anything.
The price started to go up again past 1.2915 and 1.2920 where I had placed sell orders. The orders were executed and I ended up with 500 $ profits.
My question is : Did I blow up my account ? If this wasnt a demo would I had lost all my money or would everything go as I described you. Can I lose more than my account value ? Thanks. (Sorry for my English)

FrankBlack...I'm assuming you are talking about a demo account with Navigator. Only the Live environment has strict supervision regarding account protection.

Hi,

When will you be able to offer your services to British Columbia, Canada?

It's a shame you only can operate in Ontario.

Yes Justin. You are correct.

So I managed to blow up the account.
