Justin,

Why is there a picture on the homepage saying 24 hour Support and Customer service but then I get this in the chat: MB Trading Customer Service is available from 8:30am to 6:00 pm EST.

Hi Justin,

if I have an account with MB Trading, can I transfer founds to another account with MB Trading that was not opened under my name? For example: my brother and I both have an account with MB Trading. Can I transfer funds from my account to my brother's account?

Regards,
Leeon

I haven't had a problem with MBT since I opened my account recently but they sure do have some funny looking spikes around 17:00 when they shut down for maintenance. This one didn't get noticed evidently. I have multiple brokers live and demo using MT4 and not another has anything close. Picture 2 is IBFX.

Justin- A friend mentioned that he has checking acct/debit card connected to his FX acct with another broker. Has MBT considered a similar offering? That would be unbelievably convenient and I could leave more funds in my trading account to work with.
aaceofspades,

That is not something MB is going to consider, but we do offer ACH for Forex accounts which allows for easy deposit and withdrawal.

Leeon,

You can only transfer funds between like accounts. If you had a joint account with your brother this would be possible, but if the accounts are in your individual names, then you can not transfer funds between each account.

But only for US residents. For us foreigners would be this option ideal.

I know I asked you to install .60 last week, but .61 that fixes some bugs found in .60 is up on the website now.

MBT Desktop Pro Download .61

Improvement: Changes to Installer for Windows 7 compatibility. After installation there will not be a dialog asking whether the application installed correctly.
Bug fixed: Clicking repeatedly on the open area of a MAT view, Open Orders tab, would cause an access violation.
Bug fixed: Application skins which have a problem displaying customized title-bar text were disabled in this build.
An activated child window, whether floating or not, has the distinctive color an activated window. There is only one activated child window, whether floating or not-floating.
When a child window is created or moved between floating and non-floating, its menu and toolbar items become active.
Improvement: The Daily Pivot study is on the chart context menu again; its settings are saved in the workspace. Today's High and Today's Low lines are visible if checked.
Improvement: In charts, notes can be placed on study panes, as well as price panes

As always, I encourage everyone to check out our updated webinar schedule at MBT World Webinars for training on our products.

However, if you are looking for specific "short 3-5 minute" tutorials on the Desktop Pro, you can also visit MBT World Training, log in and go to the training tab. There are about two dozen videos ranging from Order Types, Order Entry from the charts, overview of the platform and advanced charting techniques.

Why is there a $5000 max ACH transfer. I tried to move $100000 between accounts and it wouldn't accept it.

Thanks,

Does anyone here use Ninjatrader with MB???

I will be opening an account with MB with NJ as the platform, want to know what more experienced users have to say.

Any drawbacks to using MB with NJ relative to other platforms?
Any slowdowns, difficulties, advantages, disadvantages, etc?

Thank you so much!

Lcfxtrader,

We have set the limit to $5000 to limit our risk if a clients fund are non-sufficient since it takes several days to clear the bank.

You can obviously wire $100k if you wish for as little as $15.00.

Hi,
Does anyone know how to set up/trade microlots through the SuperDOM on Ninja with MB? I can only seem to get mini lots ($1 pip) at the lowest 0.01 lots on the DOM?
Thanks,

Photon VPS should be assisting with this process - do you have their contact info?

http://photonvps.com/mbt
Well that is wishfull thinking...Photon has no info on its knowledge base other than a link to a microsoft page with just basic info on remote desktop...nothing on the settings for VPS MT4 there.

In particular I will like to know:

Shoul I use a console connection or not.
Is MT4 restarted automatically if Photon reboots, or would I have to rig this myself....as described in the guides attached.

I am attaching 2 PDFs files on connecting to VPS for MT4, but don't know if these are applicable to Photon or if they are the same with Windows 7.

You figure Photon would have something on its knowledge base, but it is bare. This appears to be a new company.

I would appreciate hearing from someone that has set this up successfully with Photon

Edit...I had opened a support ticket with Photon and they provided this link on setting it VPs in general, have not read it yet, don't know if goes into setting, console, or auto restart of MT4 though.
http://www.vps-tutorial.info/2010/03...r-windows-vps/

Edit...the link above is nothing more than the link to microsoft site on general remote desktop...not what I am asking for.

Edit....it appears that console mode is for XP sp2 or lower, xp sp3 or higher use admin mode

I use ninja trader exclusively, go to the ninja trader training webinars they will teach you step by step how to use the trading dome.

Ninja trader has so much more flexibility then MT4, tick charts, range bars to name a few and is still fully programmable and free with the right broker.
