Hi Justin,
I've got 2 MT4 questions:
1) If I try to put an expiration time on an order, I get error 147: 'expirations denied by broker' - Did you guys disable the expiration function?

2) If I get a partial fill, I noticed that I get a new order number. So with MBT it looks like my EA will have to track open orders by using the magic number rather than the opening order number. Is that correct?

thanks

I have mobile trading and web-based trading coming very soon, but no real ETA on the mobile release.
Hey Justin, great work as always.

When you say mobile trading very soon, can you tell me if there is any chance of an iPhone app?

Thanks.

Captain,

Thanks for the comments.

The software for mobile is built using WAP technology, so it should run on iPhone or any other SmartPhone.

1) ECN only accepts GTC
2) Correct on the magic number

Hey Leblang...I've posted about 3 legitimate questions on this thread for you and you have ignored every one of them. What gives?

I've been an MB Trading customer for years and I'm thinking about switching over the the MT4 platform so I d-loaded the demo. My question is this...why can't I see the round numbers on my charts? It's very weird trying to find those psychological S/R levels and they aren't there....what gives?
P Dawg,

Sorry this got missed.

Could you clarify what you mean by round numbers?

What were your other questions, I couldn't find them?

I've been with MB for about 6 years and I'm considering switching to the MT4 platform. I've been using an indicator that only shows the grid on the 00's...like 1.4200. It lets you hone in on those psychological support and resistance levels. It lets you see them clearly. I believe it does not work because you guys have an extra digit...5 decimal places rather than 4 and my indicator won't work. It's a little difficult to watch for those 00's on the chart with the extra digit. My question is this....I know you have a university forum...will your programmers help me tweak the code in my indicator so that it will work with the additional decimal places? I don't think it will be difficult, it's just that I'm not inclined to learn a programming language.

Don't sweat the other questions. I forget them anyway.

Much thanks!

Hi Justin.. Quick question about ACH transfers. I remember seeing something about a 5K limit on deposits/withdrawals per month, but I can't find this info anymore. Is there a limit to how much I can deposit/withdraw in a month using ACH?

Another question, Justin. Any idea if MB is planning on allowing accounts in currencies other than USD and EUR? I'd love to see the other majors and gold and silver (with a small haircur if necessary). I know that a lot of other brokers (haven't seen one in spot fx) have started accepting gold and silver.

Angus...

Thank you so much. I'm switching to the MT4 platform with MB Trading and I was bummed that my round numbers did not work. It is so much easier to see the the RN indicator on the MT4 charts. I guess it was the 5th decimal throwing it off.

Thanks so much...I appreciate it!

Not sure. Currently only USD and EUR. Accounts in other currencies are in the works.

Hi Justin,

I have sent you an email a while back regarding the EUR account thing.

I already have opened an account before EUR was available, but so far didn't have a reply. Any developments regarding that matter?

Thanks
