MBT is great broker, but to be even greater I wish it also had in MT4 charts of:
SP 500
TNOTE
GOLD
SILVER
OIL
Currency Indexes (ie. USD Index, EUR Index and other Majors Indexes)
and more... ;-)
Of course all of this NON-TRADEABLE (CFD is not allowed in US) but for market situation preview.

P.S.
Best would be like this >>

Leeon,

Your screenshot is for a Demo account. We do updates to Demo account from time to time that can disrupt orders. We did one last week, which was after your trade was entered but before it hit your T/P.

As someone else said, “Demo is demo.”
the same thing happened again today. Position which was opened on usd/ch on 21st of july didn't close today when it riched my profit target @ 0,7730.

What is the point of this demo account if trades are not closed, and I can't even train properly?
Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth.

The Demo environment is designed to allow someone to become familiar with how the software works. In our case, the Demo environment includes not only the MT4 software, which goes through its own updates, but also our MT4 to ECN bridge, our execution systems, and our quote servers, each of which are separate systems. While we obviously have our own environment behind the scenes for developing new features, enhancements, and bug fixes, the reality is that an update to one of these systems can’t fully be explored in terms of how it reacts to thousands of orders until it is put into the Demo environment. By testing in the Demo environment, we dramatically speed up development time on these items by a factor of 10. Unfortunately, in some cases, this can mean that something that you entered two weeks ago in the Demo environment might be disconnected from the trade server if we did an update since then, which is what happens sometimes.

Why does this keep happening? How can an ECN market order be rejected?

LOL, I guess a market order is not a market order with them. On the other hand, you are lucky that is was rejected.

Hello Justin,

do you have someone that could give technical support with the NavPro?
The manual doesn't cover a lot of the functions and online chat doesn't seem to be very knowledgeable about it.
I'm trying to set up a cell formula that needs to make calculations with the position cost basis but for some reason the function doesn't retrieve the values...

Thanks

Everyone on this thread has experience with MB. Some of your quote is wrong. You get credit for Limit orders (entry and exit) and you pay for market orders.

Silverpuma - were you having trouble via the UK online chat? What time was this EST?

Did you receive a message along the lines of "There are currently 'x' chat request(s) before you.."

Yes Justin that's what I got, 5 in front of me. It was around 2.00pm GMT. Also to make matters worst I called the customer service number on the MB UK website (UK number) from my mobile but ended up speaking with a US rep in the US..............aaarrrrgggghhhh my bill will kill me!! Really, UK questions should be dealt with by a UK based support team.

So anyways are MB UK accepting Live Desktop accounts?

As long as you dialed a local number you will not be charged for the call to US. Your call was simply forwarded to a number in US.
