Justin,


If Nav and mt4 will become synced then if I already have a Nav account but opened an mt4 live yesterday, could ur office just tie it in with my current Nav account ??
Can the funds in the Nav be used on MT4 ? ie: fungible

This will save me a lot of admin. work -))
jonjon,

When you say "tie it in", what feature were you looking for exactly? You'll be able to view your Meta account in the Nav, but the two accounts won't be linked to each other.

However, you will be able to transfer funds between the two accounts, but that is about all.

traderfx,

The thought process is correct, but the problem is not only will your 'lower trigger' have a sell for 200k, but your 'upper trigger' will as well when using a TTO. Unless you plan to place your 'upper trigger' at an unreasonable price to avoid being triggered, I would place either a 'sell stop market' order for 200k without the upper trigger or a separate 'sell stop market' for 100k at 1.6450 all together.

Hope this helps.
so if im long 100k i can just put sell stop at 200k and this will close my 100k long and put me in a 100k sell ? and remove my stop on my long?

Did you mean as your target on the original trade? If so, you certainly can, but you'll need to manually cancel it if the trade triggers your stop market first.

Did you place any other trades in the last 24 hours? The positions window and the account balance window display the total commission, not the commission for that particular trade.

Hi Justin:

Are there any plans to allow users who have both a Forex & Stock account w/ MBT to access both accounts at once - either thru one integrated interface or thru two platforms being opened simultaneously? Would this be solved if the user were using MetaTrader for forex (therefore you could have MT open and Navigator for stocks open at the same time)?

Thanks...

Hi Infinity,

Currently, MBT users with multiple accounts can have their log-ins linked for all accounts. This provides the user with an easy way to log-in only once and then toggle between their multiple accounts with a simple right click.

The other option you suggested would work as well though - having MT4 up for Forex and Nav for Equities.

Is anyone else having problems with the CAD/CHF feed from mbtrading? I opened a short position last week which was still open this morning. However now I have no bid/ask price for CAD/CHF and, on speaking to their support, they told me they can't find a bank offering liquidity on this pair at the moment! As far as I now understand this means that theoretically price could move way beyond my stoplosses without me having any control over the pair - a potential account wiper. This is on a LIVE account with $5.5k in it. Does it seem a bit scary that they cannot guarantee liquidity from one day to the next?

Ouch, that's really bad.

You can hedge your short cad/chf with short usd/cad and long usd/chf for the time being (if you know how to calculate the ratio).

Hi Rob -

Welcome to Forex via an ECN. There is never a guarantee that liquidity will be offered. This is not a centralized market.

Have a look at the hourly or 4 hour data on the pair - the gappy look of it will tell you that this pair is very risky to trade.

If you go to a deal desk, and they actually carry this pair, you might get serviced, if they can get serviced.
I'm pretty much done with all this ...
