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
I've been told everyone should be receiving an update in the next week to get started.

Hi Justin (this is the opening of so many posts here...),

I left MB a couple of years ago because I could not get an euro account.
Now that MB is offering euro accounts, I'm considering returning to MB.

Can I ask you a couple of things?

1) Must I choose between Navigator and MT4, or both can be used to trade?

2) If I can trade only from one platform and I choose MT4, will I be able to trade through Ninja Trader?

Thank you.

I'm not sure if anyone here checks out Forex Peace Army (www.forexpeacearmy.com), but it is a great site with reviews for brokers, software, etc. - dedicated to getting rid of scam brokers. I just went there and started reading some of the MB Trading reviews, and was quite surprised. Clearly there are a lot of fake reviews with ridiculous claims; most likely other brokers trying to bring down MB Trading's rating.

For those of you that are happy with MB Trading as a company, as well as the great service we receive in this thread, I think it would be a nice gift for Justin and all the great work he puts in if we all go and submit a fair and accurate review of our MB experiences.

Hopefully this will help to give MB Trading the 5-star rating it deserves.

Great comment. I did it myself. I think some of the motives of Forex Peace Army are suspect to begin with, but you are definitely right. There are some nonsense posts in there. I sent a review and they did post it though.

Justin...

I want to run the MT4 platform on my home computer and also my work computer. Obviously, I can only be in 1 place at a time. Is there an issue running MT4 on different computers as long as you are only logged into one at a time? I won't have an issue with this will I?

Thanks....

No you won't... actually it even works being logged in at same time in separate accounts to my surprise. I found this kind of odd since my other broker platform if i enter in another computer automatically disconnects the platform that was logged in and says what time it was and the IP that made the new login.

This doesn't happen in MT4 though... I've logged in on my lapton while at same time Mt4 on desktop was on and they were both working fine

That's good. Hopefully others will follow. Apparently it takes a few days for the review to show up.

Hi Justin, I just downloaded the MB Trading MT4 demo because of all the great reviews I'm hearing all over the internet about your brokerage firm about how you guys are the real deal when it comes to ECN trading. I was also looking into getting a currenex or viking platform and I was wondering how I would intergrate this into your non-deal desk MT4 platform? Does your firm allow this integration? Maybe that's more of a programming question? My apologizes if you've answered a similiar question in a previous post. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Very cool....that is all I wanted to hear. I think I'm going to make the switch.

Thanks much!

I will follow and post a review as well. Perhaps I'm missing something but all the complaints about the commission seem a little weird. I've only have one other forex broker and it seems to me that the spread was much worse than the commission. Wouldn't it be better to have a tight spread and pay a little commission than to immediately be down by 5 or 6 pips off the bat? Am I missing something here?

Correct once again wtfx!

I traded MBT's demo and Alpari UK's demo side by side for two months and found that I made a lot more money with MBT...their spreads are consistently lower, especially at news time and on cross pairs. Also that was BEFORE MBT lowered their commish rates. If you did the same now with the new rates I'm sure the difference would be huge.

UncagedEagle,

Thanks for the post. MBT would not support the integration of another platform like Currenex into MT4 at this time.

Dawg,

If you are trading with EAs, I would suggest using our VPS for simplicity reasons. If no EAs, just trading manually, you need to copy the RSA key per our website to both machines and you can log in from either at any time.

Hi Jagui,

Welcome back.

1. You can have two accounts; a funded MT4 account and funded Nav account if you wish to trade on both platforms. However, you can not use your funded Nav account to trade MT4 or vice versa, only to log in and view charts, reports, L2, etc. Each platform has its own account.

2. Your log in for MT4/Nav should allow you to execute trades through NinjaTrader without any problems.

Has anyone here experienced different?

Hi Justin,

At 6:00am EST for the past 2 weeks my trading account goes off line. I get a "loading account" prompt at this time, (sometimes at other times of day as well). Is this server side, or is it an issue on my end?

Thanks for your help.

No problem Justin. It is well deserved. My review has just appeared after a few days, so hopefully others have followed suit and we will start seeing more shortly.

I'm with you Captain, just posted one too. I'm glad you mentioned that site...I had stumbled on it a long time ago but forgot all about it since.
