DislikedYup, I was observing their price movement on Demo acct for both their mt4 platform and their desktop pro yesterday. What I saw was that mt4 price (with occasional hanging) moved down together with other mt4 broker (I use Alpari mt4 to double check) but desktop pro price still stuck at about 50pips away from the mt4 mkt price.
I called them on the live chat to ask if their demo was on a different price feed from their live feed and was told that they are the same! When I told them what happened and asked why, all I got in reply was "Sorry that...Ignored
I think you miss the point of a demo server. The point is for the broker to give you a copy of their software (and a trial data feed) to make sure it works with your system, etc. and that you are generally comfortable with the concept. The point of a demo is not to ensure that you will experience exactly what you will in live trading, or that your trading system will make money when you get out in "the real world."
You don't understand why/how the prices and execution MUST be different in the live and demo environments?
So their Desktop Demo data feed was different/delayed from the mt4 demo feed. Who cares? Another annoying thing about Demo accounts, what about when you've traded for several days and really are loving having your account balance be so great, can show all your friends, etc., and then ooops, reset. all gone. That's demo!
I guess it boils down to, if you need to trade market open on Sunday, don't use MB Trading. If you can't handle the fact that you will be completely unable to affect your positions with MB Trading in any way from approximately 4:55pm EST to as late as 6pm EST every trading day, then you don't want to trade live with MB Trading.
If you are looking for a broker who's data feed will never go out at a time that is bad for you(especially demo), then you'll have a hard time finding a broker, in my experience.
These 2 things(and a few minor issues with Desktop Pro) are the only 2 negative things I can say about my 4+ year client relationship with MB trading. I'm pretty happy with them as a broker, and now that they are paying me to trade(I use 80-90% limit orders), I'm liking them that much more. I place zero emphasis on the accuracy of their demo environments.
