I see in MB Trading's last report to the CFTC that they had only $796,000 more in adjusted net capital than the required $21,234,000 . Does this mean if there adjusted net capital falls another $796,000 they'll go bankrupt? If not, what happens at that point? thanks
MBT is a huge brokerage for stocks futures options and forex........they are absolutely solvent on all accounts and just keep up with new minimums in forex......they are not going broke until 2012 when the world ends

This has pretty much been answered by others, but MB Trading Futures is just a division of the company and always has been. We’ve never had any issues meeting the net cap requirements, and that goes for when they were $1 mil, $5 mil, and now $20 mil. We also have to maintain such requirements for other regulatory entities for other divisions of the company, including MB Trading itself, which is the stocks, options, and futures broker registered with several entities.

I was curious about the iphone app. Does it do tick by tick or is it that you gotta refresh every few seconds?

They do not stream, because that would require too much battery and bandwidth. However, they do auto refresh based on your settings and can be as low as every 10 seconds.

hi,

I'm in the process of back testing my strategy and I'm a bit confused about how should I treat historical tick data in order to construct OHLC bars.

Historical data (from TrueFX GainCapital etc) contains bid and ask prices - not actual trades. The log files don't even have volume information. So how can I tell if those bid-ask prices where actually traded at that time?

Also - I believe that the tick files contain sampled data which means I can miss any of the high low open or close prices.

Shouldn't those vendors provide log files for actual trades that where made instead of bid-ask information which merely represent the order book?...

Any insight on this subject is appreciated.

thx.

Hi Jason, I'm resorting to the FF forum for help as I sent you a email request yesterday but have not received a reply and I have tried twice on the MBT chat with no success.

It appears to get the link for the recording of the MYFX webinar held yesterday 23 Feb the only place I can get it is from you.

Could you post it here please. I'm a live MBT account holder/customer and to be frank its a bit disappointing that only one person can supply a simple link and I need to go outside MBT to get some basic help.

Thanks and I look forward to the link..............

Hi Jason,...
silverpuma,

Not sure why you haven't received a reply; could you PM me your name and email address so I can make sure it was actually received by Jason since I know he wouldn't ignore it.

Multiple members of our staff have access to the webinar recordings, but since it was only 12 hours ago and Jason worked late, he probably hadn't had a chance to pass it around before you called.

Here you go

(First two minutes no audio - don't be alarmed)

Yes on Blackberry, but not until Droid and iPad are out.

Pay for Limits is not a promotion and not going anywhere.

King,

You'll have to submit a new online application for MT4, but you don't have to fund it. To submit a new application, visit our website and login to the client manager to follow the steps to open an additional account.

I have a Mac as well as a couple of PCs and I installed Boot Camp on my Mac and WinXP so it was a dual boot system. Works great.
