Has there been a recent change of liquidity for MBT? I just had a look at L2 and there is only ~5 Mil cumulative depth in eur/usd and just 3 Mil in gbp/usd..

This used to be closer to 30 Mil..

Hi Justin.

I have recently opened a live account and transferred some balance. I am using desktop pro and liking it. Way better than mt4.

Having said that I miss one single feature. That is to quickly calculate pip/time difference between two points on chart using the click-drag cross hair. I have already requested that on "Idea Exchange". Thought I'hd give a shout out here too.

Keep up the good work!

Shrike,

We are in the process of changing some code in the Market Depth to accommodate additions and it has effected the way size displays. There is significantly more size available, however it is just not displaying properly and we are looking for a fix.

We are opening an office in the UK this summer, but the official date we go live has not been established. Re CFD's, we do plan to offer them eventually, but they will not be immediately available when we launch.

hi Justin,

When you say plans to offer in the future, does this mean the distant future, or something relatively closer to when you launch?

I can understand JPY not being a priority for the Europe office, but why offer USD and not CHF from the outset? It's a European currency after all, whereas the USD is not.

I'm sure many European traders would have far more interest being able to keep their funds in Francs versus Dollars, so purely on a business level it would seem to make sense to offer it.

Is it some kind of technical or regulatory issue?

Cheers,

Fudo

We will immediately offer GBP, EUR, and USD based accounts with plans to offer CHF and JPY in the future.

Fudomyo,

It’s just a matter of getting set up in each currency from a banking perspective and then adjusting our applications and various platforms to work with that currency. I can’t discuss what state each currency is in at this time, but we’re not going to hold up opening the UK branch and wait for a certain base currency to be ready.

No one was suggesting that.

"planning to offer in the future" could mean a number of different things, so the point of my question was to find out if it was a consideration or an actual plan.

Anyway, it's not a big deal. If at some point in the future you do offer them that would be great.

Cheers

I've just started using the demo on mb desktop pro and realized that the daily pivots study is broken as it shrinks my chart to something unreadable. Is there a fix or should I just look up pivots from another platform and hori line them? Thanks

Did you select "pivot points" or "daily pivots" and what time frame? I was able to replicate the issue with "pivot points", but not "daily" in any time frame.

I placed the order which got filled partially, and I tried to close all my position because it was in the 12 pips positive, but there was a message saying that numbers of position were wrong. Then I called the number 18666283002, they could do it after my position in the 12pips loss. Is this normal in trading the circumstance like this?

Is there some reason why my account is not loading? I tried logging into Desktop as well as the website, and my account info will not load on either one.

Is it just me, or is it system-wide?
