DislikedHere's my bet...within two years, FX will be regulated the same in all major countries. Separate from that, the US rules haven't affected me at all. Hedging was always a joke and people shouldn't even be trading 100 to 1, much less higher than that. What else has the NFA done except force brokers to have more capital to protect their client base? I would bet that most of the people that whine about the regulation have never made a dime trading forex and are just using it as an excuse. I'd love to see an account statement from someone trading more...Ignored
DislikedSo wait, let me ask this question as a "fanboy" based on what you are saying. I am aware that they were down one day this month for about an hour. I was not affected. It happens. The NYSE and the CME were also both down for about an hour this month. That's part of the world of trading. But that doesn't make the platform unstable, that just means that they experienced a technological glitch, which might or might not have been their fault.
So is that your whole point? That they were down once? Or are you saying that the problem is more systemic?...Ignored
DislikedIt is very apparent that these guys are not a true ECN broker, and are nothing more than smoke and mirrors.Ignored
DislikedSo is that your whole point? That they were down once? Or are you saying that the problem is more systemic? Because I have not experienced the issues that you claim to have experienced.Ignored
DislikedSo yes, the live environment is unstable, and does give off quotes, and will be interesting to know why if that was a true ECN. Also, what I typed above serves as a warning to fellow traders who want to put at risk any serious amount of hard earned cash on this unstable environment.
Plus another thing: I have tried pending orders between the spread that sit there and never get hit for whole minutes on active times. In a true ECN these would have been hit. But in MBT they don't. I leave it to the readers intelligence to guess why.
PS: I would appreciate...Ignored
DislikedSadly in one of the cases it was due to the MT4 server going down and for this reason their phone lines where overwhelmed. Took me about 15-20 min to get though, by that time I had lost around 5% of the account due to this MBT fault. I made a claim which they totally ignored. .Ignored
DislikedWow ...
... if you had bothered to read through all of the legal documents that you signed when joining with them, you would have understood that you agreed that MB Trading would not be held responsible if unforeseen technical issues (such as servers "going down") impacted your trade(s) in any way. These things will happen from time to time, as MB Trading makes it very clear in the crapload of documents that you signed when applying.
Those who don't agree with this should not have signed up with MB Trading in the first...Ignored
DislikedJust for clarity, when I was referring to the possible future reduction (for some again) of Margin or Leverage I was not referring to 100 to 1 , which for me and others is more than enough!...Ignored
DislikedI completely agree with challenger78, you should do your home work before you go saying anything about MB Trading and how good they are. My previous post was about error messages I was getting in the journal/log files from running my EA on my live account. It is very apparent that these guys are not a true ECN broker, and are nothing more than smoke and mirrors.
There is no way in hell that I should be seeing error messages like "Trade Context Busy", "Off Quotes", "Common Error", and yes believe it or not "No Connection". The no connection...Ignored
DislikedSo, anyone who disagrees with you is a "fanboy" or works for MB Trading. I have not experienced off quotes either and their "environment" works wonderfully for me. To say it is unstable is disingenuous at best.
Since you're throwing accusations around, my guess is that you work for the bucket shop competition.Ignored
DislikedEvery broker has technical issues and downtime. I can't tell you how many times Ameritrade went down for me and I couldn't place a trade. Good luck getting someone on the phone when that happens with any of the big brokers.
My experience with MB Trading has been superb, I use the Navigator and have never had an issue with Forex trading. I've tried the MT4, and like this as well. In fact, I'm planning to move my equities account over to MB Trading because of the good experience I've had with Forex. I like the fact that when I call the support...Ignored

DislikedHappy New Year to all. Hope everyone had a great Holiday season. I’m just getting back and settled in.
At long last, we are ready to begin accepting accounts in other base currencies. We will be starting with the Euro and I’m looking for a handful of people to sort of Beta test the process with us. Please email me in private if you are interested in getting started with this. I know a lot of people have been waiting a long time for this. Once we get through one, the rest will come very quickly. Those that email me, I will be getting back to you...Ignored
