Roldreth,

This will be the site of the UK entity once we come out of Beta testing and open it wide for all:

http://www.tradembt.eu

Thanks
will the desktop pro be also available in the uk?
"hey hey what can I do"

Yes. So will the web based platform even though it is not listed here:

https://www-rc.tradembt.eu/platforms.aspx

I've been testing desktop pro on demo while i'm waiting for my live account to be approved, really like it. Got a question to anyone with experience with MB, can you edit non executed orders? i don't have the option on desktop pro, maybe it is just a problem with demo?

Opening an account with the uk is a pain in the ass though, opened an account through the us site in less than 8 hours (before i realised there was a uk site), been waiting for approval for 3 days for access to uk site and have had to send my documents in 3 times so far. I will give it one more day before i give up

Hey everyone.

Without trying to be disruptive with this, I am pretty much posting out of curiosity.

Given that MB Trading openly endorses Blake Morrow of Wizetrade

http://www.mbtsoftware.com/community.../webinars.aspx

I was wondering if Justin or MBT had a general comment on
http://www.houstonpress.com/2006-02-02/news/wize-guys/
and
http://www.ripoffreport.com/home-bas...olut-e8y8f.htm

and pretty much all of
http://www.ripoffreport.com/Search/globaltec.aspx
http://www.ripoffreport.com/Search/wizetrade.aspx

Kind of in the vein of
"Does MBT feel these kind of practices are representative of the relationships MBT wishes to enjoy? Is the conduct of associated persons commendable?"
That sort of thing.

I don't really want to be the one asking actually.
I pretty much just came across this by chance.
But I know there are various people who might ask these questions if they knew of this stuff, so I thought it might be of interest to them.

Might even be an old hat, I don't know. Haven't looked into the other webinar hosters/people yet. Maybe others can just take it from here.

I don't intend to "carry" this, just wanted the info available.


----

While I am posting, I might as well ask:
Since the new european branch has been mentioned, will there be SEPA based funding options into and out of MBT accounts denominated in EUR, i.e. free of fees?

The whole point of creating the EU was pretty much to have a unified bank/currency region, and all EU member states fall under SEPA logic, which basically states banks can't(won't/shouldn't, whatever) charge more than a corresponding domestic wire fee(which in turn is zero) for a SEPA transfer, as long as the SEPA format is obeyed(i.e. can be processed electronic&automated).

So this would be a fairly relevant issue with european brokers.
Trust price. Know yourself.

SeekingLight,

We acquired Globaltec because we were interested in some of the technology behind their Lightwave software and certain other pieces. Most of the complaints that you find about them were from back in 2006 and prior and were related to their Forex Made Easy and similar products. Just because people didn’t like them in the past doesn’t mean that they didn’t have good technology for the right price. It also doesn’t mean that they don’t have good people that are well-informed about the markets (such as Blake) working for them.

Havaiana,

Thanks for your patience. As you can see, the UK site is not up yet. We are accepting customers on a Beta basis at this time, which means that the process is slower. Basically, they are working out the kinks. It should get handled.

SeekingLight,
Thank you for your swift reply.

What about the MBT Europe related stuff?

I am still long term curious about various broker alternatives within the EUR area, so it would have been interesting to hear where MBT Europe is going and how it is positioned in terms of fund management.

We are adding an IACH (International ACH which is SEPA transfer) as a funding option, it is not quite ready though.

Live accounts require paperwork to be certified by notary - this is a bit dissapointing and would slow down the process, but that's because of UK regulations

Sometimes the Position Line (dashed red one) disappears from the chart for SOME currency/position.

For example, currently I have USD/CAD and EUR/JPY open positions. I can see the red line on EUR/JPY chart, but there is NO line on USD/CAD.

Restarted application but no success.

Also, sometimes Open Positions just disappear from "Positions" text window. I have to swith accounts to bring them back visible.


Desktop Pro 2.0, Live, US account

p.s.

Oops, I found the line... far away from the real average price.

Justin, this looks like the same "wrong average postition problem" but only the charting part. See attached chart: Postition shown on chart is 0.47827 while the real one is 0.9521 (as per the Positions window text)

It strikes me as rather strange as to why any broker would want to do regular maintenance in the middle of the Asian session.

Surely the period between rollover and the start of the Asian session would be more suitable.

We have to go down for maintenance (rollover) either way because the bank feeds stop sending. Easier to do maintenance within the down time than create two separate downtimes.
