Justin,

Would MBT be affected by this proposal by the FINRA? It sounds like a joke to me, but they are proposing leverage of 1.5:1???

Let's just wait and see.

That's a FINRA rule. MBT FX is registered with NFA.

Thanks Indy. I was looking at MB's website and it mentions them being a member of FINRA & NFA. Do you know if that's separate for the FX and equities division or does it affect the whole thing?

Justin, firstly I'd like to say you're doing amazing job by answering a lot of questions. Thank you for that.

Secondly, I have two questions to ask, too. In MBTNavigator when I apply MACD to the chart, I only see lines. I'm not seeing MACD Histogram. Does the Navigator include MACD Histogram or am I missing something?

The second question I'd like to ask is if there's Force Index (or some indicator like that) included in the Navigator?

Thank you for your answers.

Dear Justin,

I have a question about Navigator.
Is there any feature (or a version of Navigator) where someone can run Navigator and see the account balance, position, etc., but in read-only mode ?
I need this feature because I'm going to pool money from 10 small investors into one account for trading. I want the investors able to monitor the account balance, position, etc in read-only mode.
Of course the read-only password should be different from the main trader password.
Also when the main trader is still running Navigator online, investor read-only login (simultaneously) should not disconnecting the main trader's Navigator, vice-versa.

I'm not talking about MAT, because I know it is for managing several accounts simultaneously, where in my case above is about simultaneous read-only access to one account from different PC.

Best Regards,

Hello,

Can someone tell me if MB Trading's margin requirement is 1% for any single trade regardless of how much your leverage is (assuming 100:1 maximum leverage) and how many lots you purchase?

(assuming USD-based pairs)

For instance, if you start out with $1000 and purchase 1 lot of $10,000 (10:1 leverage), is the margin requirement $100 (1% of $10,000), leaving you with $900 free?

Or if you have $5000 in your account and purchase 10 lots of $10,000 each (20:1 leverage), is the margin requirement still $1000 (1% of $100,000), leaving you with $4000 free?

Thanks!

Margin requirement always the same (for same leverage), for any account size ($1000, $10.000, $100.000 or $1M account.) So if leverage 1:100 then margin requirement always $100 for mini lot, and $1000 for standard lot.
