Another hour and another .4% gain. Almost 0 drawdown because of perfect execution.

I'll stop overposting about this, I just wanted to make sure the positives of MBT's platform are being discussed as well as the negative.

Their MT4 platform just sucks. always have problems. why don't you just offer desktop.
Probably because before they did, everybody and their brother was screaming at them to get it or lose the business. Apparently Oanda recently made the same move, don't know how it is going for them, but I do know their spreads are crap!

MT4 is not a solid app. I guess those that love the punishment will stick with it and blame the broker.

Why don't you just use Desktop Pro. It's a solid app and very good for trading.

Well, there are other things that can affect your connection besides MB Trading(it also could be them). Have you eliminated those problems? Have you spoken to MB Tech Support to try and figure out what the problem is or are you just going to whine about it here?

Connection keeps dropping...offline right now with MBT. I have 4 brokers total and 3 are MT4 based. I can tell you that MBT is the only one with these issues - even with demos last year. I remember doing a demo on them last year and finding the same performance on the demo and was told - "hey it's just demo". My reply was if demo was not reliable why even think live would be any different. I do not know any other brokers even DEMO environment go down as much as theirs, and now live / production environment. Guess I'm right afterall...correction, am right for sure.

The plus is I'm ahead, the bad is I may have to ditch this strategy test broker of mine. Good thing I did not invest heavily with this broker and only use them for strategy testing purposes.

BTW, this is not an MT4 issue, this is a broker issue. I have FXDD demo, ATC live and demo, Interbank FX demo / live. Only MBT has had these problems since last year. Guess what? Even demo on other platforms are working as live. The demo only line an excuse. MBT demo and live behave the same way, drops off and on.

I chatted with support and they are having a server issue. It must just be with MT4 because the MBT Desktop is continuing to work. What would resolve all of this is to have ONE account where we could open, close, manage trades from MT4 and/or from Desktop. That's on my list of "what would you as a customer like to see in the future".

No connection again, and its not Sunday at opening, this sucks big time...let the pumpers of MBTrading post that this is over the top...this broker is the worst I have ever had. The low spread and pay for limit cannot make up for this non-availabilty.

-1. The negative posts on this thread are typically far more over the top than necessary, while the positive ones tend to also accept some of the issues that come up with MBT. No broker is perfect, so the discussions about what could be improved are useful and constructive. Posts about how a one hour issue once in six months is grounds for them being the worst broker in the world are nonsense. It seems like you guys call defensive anyone that is trying to have a constructive conversation rather than an abusive one.
-1000 what now, no connection again Monday 10.45 a.m. eastern...what u gonna say now pumper?? Extended rollover?...the cat urinated on the server? They got a big Tsunami wave from Japan????

It's not once in 6 months, it is twice in 2 days, as in 2 days in a row
