Has anyone used the VPS offered through MB Trading? If so, can you please just give me a quick answer on how you've liked it and used it? Thanks.

Hello Justin:

Do you think your company's new logo it's a bit out-of-fashion? Why change the Bull's head which is more legitimate and "meaningful".

just my 2cents

I don't design the logos, or have any say in that. I'm just another guy behind a some other guys.

Why is there such a lag factor in your metatrader. With sudden jumps in the market your system can't handle it. I have closed and reopened metatrader, but the quote is still at 1.3175 while the market is at 1.3150. This isn't the first time this happened, on big news days it lags a lot.

Kal, I've been finding the same thing. I had a horribly executed trade at 11am ET yesterday. I also saw it today with that big move up on the EU around noon ET today. I was with the chat people right after yesterday's trade because I've had several instances of this and needed to figure it out. And I do find the chat people to always be polite and helpful. They told me to look at the VPS option and that's the reason for my question/post a few posts back. I also asked about going back to executing my trades with Navigator, but they thought the VPS option would be better. So I'm still in a dilemma, but everything I executed today looked to be quick and efficient when I made my trades. I am still keeping a close eye on everything because I believe I've seen it lag more times in the past couple months than anytime previously.

For the MB trading guy...Can you do all instruments from one platform and one account? What is the minimum needed for deposit to trade the various instruments?
Thanks

Hello Justin,

This is a very important issue if your guys are really serious about pushing your MT4 Platform. Yes, the trading itself is not affected, but the CHART always has "gaps" during extreme volatile times. You can see this in the attached photos for yesterday's EURO surge, all live accounts.

Best,

Mike

The same always occurs with MB's data feed at eSignal, TDFX. Huge gaps and missing data. Anytime sudden volatility occurs, I have to switch to FXCM's feed for smother printing of candles since the TDFX simply stops.

Have you run routing checks from your location to them? Have you tried their VPS to put your system closer? I don't get lags like that.

I have e-Signal with the TDFX feed. Can you give me an example of a date/time and pair where you get this so I can have a look also?

They lag everytime on major figures, sometimes more than 20 seconds. Dont trust the data you see until 10 minutes or so after the release and get a 2nd/3rd data-source to cross-check quotes. If you have to trade during this time, use limits - price may be 50 pips away from what you see on your screen.

Unfortunately, MB appears not to acknowledge that there is an issue.

Hi everyone,
I have few questions :


1- Is it possible to set stop loss at 2 pips (excluding spread) when I open a position ? Is there any limitation on stop loss size ?
2- What is the average spread on EUR/USD (during london open, NY open)?
3- Are they any problems about slippage on 2 pips stop loss orders ?


I would like to use this method : http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=156106

Thx very much for your answers !

Walcott,

Thank you for your interest in MBT.

1. Yes. We don't place any restrictions on Stop or Limit orders and if you'd like, you can even place an order between the spread.

2. Average spread is .8 - .9 pips.

3. During normal trading hours slippage should be a non-issue. Not saying it can't happen, but more often than not you won't experience any.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Styngray,

Stocks, Futures and Options can all be traded from one account with a min deposit of $1000 for a cash account. Forex requires a separate account and the minimum is $400.

I should also mention that you can have one master username for both accounts, and trade from the same platform via a simple toggle between the two.
