Hello signorx,

Could you mind sharing how to connect MultiChart DT to mbtrading? I tried myself several times but no success. And another question, what about the Monday's opening chart, I remember some Chart Programs have problems with this, and often show huge spike at Monday open.

Regards,

I have installer Nav Pro and multichart no particular setting in MC just set your username and password, if you want open Nav Pro and MC simultaneously you must ask MBT a secondary login account, it's free for forex account, just download request at http://www.mbtrading.com/f/Additiona...tAgreement.pdf and send by email!

For second question, I rarely use MC chart, i use Nav Pro for charting that imho is better, I use MC only for DOM interface and eventually for automated trading!

regards!

Would someone please offer your sincerest advice on this email I received from my broker this morning? Is this more restrictions or is this normal for a broker to be under capacity?

it seems just when I have got my EA to perform, the broker sends this :

Good morning Mr. D. For your MT4 account (#232xxx), you have many working orders. Several of these orders have come pending but are unable to be filled due to insufficient equity. These orders are spamming our bridge and as they can’t be filled, we are forced to manually cancel them. We would ask that you do one of two things. One: Please deposit more funds into the account to cover the margin required for your orders. Or two: if you are using an EA, you may need to adjust the EA as the EA is creating so many working orders. If you are manually trading, please delete some of the orders unless you deposit more funds to cover the required margin. Thank you for your consideration.

Kind regards,

Are you seriously posting live trade numbers and information on this site? What is wrong with people? This isn't a support forum and it isn't a place to give any details about your live trade numbers.

Anyone having issues logging in via MBT Desktop? I just restarted my PC and now I can't log back in.

EDIT: I am getting quotes but it is not able to connect to the order server. And no account info either so I can't see my positions or balances or orders. This is getting f**king ridiculous. Again and again and again, every f**king other day their servers just fall over. How hard is it to maintain even a semi-reliable service?
I had orders execute all night overnight, no issues. Sounds to me like you have a deeper problem. I hope you are working with them to troubleshoot like tracing your route.

Why can't we hedge with MBT Pro? Do you plan to implement this feature anytime soon?

Quoting signorx
100% agree over 1000 trade in November and had no problem at all, some time (very rarely) server are down (like today) but for few minutes. Me too I use Nav Pro and Multi Chart DT. Imho most of problem came by using MT4 that in my opinion is a crappy software and MBT should abandoned it. Now that MBT is fully integrated in Multi Chart there is not a reason to trade with MT4.
They don't allow hedging with MBT Pro.

Can you post template? No need for SMAs, etc, template itself would be enough. Still trying to figure out MBT Pro.

Regarding MBT Pro

Is it possible to buy/sell with one click with a pre-set stop loss and take profit?

For example:

I want to buy 30 lots on market order, take 10 lots out after 30 pips profit and set 20 pips stop loss.

Any way to do so? I tried TTO but it asks me values upon click, which is not what I want.

---

If no, how do I set to take 10 lots out after 30 pips profit for market order? I right click on order but it has no such options.

If you figure it out, please post the answer. I too am struggling with trying to make the best of the order entry system. It is far more capable than I am.

Whit MB Pro is not possible, I may suggest you to use MultiChart DT along MB Pro for this kind of order.

MB Pro for charting + Multichart DT for entry order is a killing solution in my opinion

Hi Justin,

1. For demo equity account, does the minutes data feed gathered using MBT SDK API (via Ninjatrader) is as complete as the data feed used in MBT Desktop?

2. If the above is not, will Live account provide a complete data feed?

I'm having problem of getting the quotes during pre-market/after market displayed on Ninjatrader (for GLD 60-min), connected to a MB demo equity account. In addition, the bars displayed are not completely the same as shown in MBT Desktop chart under the same demo account.

However, I do not experience such problem for demo FX account.

A Ninjatrader tech support is looking into my problem. I thought it will be good to hear from you too.

The bars being slightly different is not at all surprising. Unless you are supplying NinjaTrader with data service provided timestamps... like eSignal supplies, but unlike all the NinjaTrader compatable brokers that I am aware of, including MB Trading, who supply data with no time stamps, bars will sometimes draw differently.

Read the NinjaTrader Help section under Operations >> Charts >> How Bars are built >> Understanding Why A Chart Can Look Different... to get an understanding of why.

As to your other questions I don't know for sure if its a data being supplied issue, at all.

One place to look is at the Session template you have setup for GLD... is it configured in a way to allow pre-market data?

Hi V4X,
To answer your question, you will need to use 'Market + TTO' order type in Plus (combination) Order. But first, you need to set your Target and Stop in Order Entry Preferences...

Hope this helps...Happy Trading!

AFAIK everything is located in US, even the www.mbtrading.co.uk website itself is hosted in the same location as the www.mbtrading.com website. The UK clients use the same quotes servers and order servers as the US clients.
I'm not insane; my mother had me tested.
