Hi all,

From trading live using MBT MT4, I know that lot sizes are as follows:
0.1 Lot = 1K
1 Lot = 10K
10 Lots = 100K

I wish to know if MBT Desktop Pro allows you to change the lot size?
Say for instance if you make enough money from 10K size lots and you want to upgrade to 100K lots and eventually to 1000K lots ??

Regards

Yes.

You can set from 1000 Units ( .1 Lot ) up.

Yes. I hope you have your S/L and T/P set if you're in a trade.

Seems like it is only the Website, the trading servers are working.
I'm not insane; my mother had me tested.

I see, i am not using mt4, so can't test that. Are you talking about demo or about the live mt4 server? I can only say that my Desktop Pro platform is running without any problems on my live account.

Live MT4 accounts. All the servers are down, on my end anyway.

I can trade fine on MT4. Quotes seem to be off and on but you can trade at correct market prices.

My MT4 Live Feed is dead. Desktop Live Account working but on and off and have been behaving weird all day. During ECB anouncement showed as much as 10 pips of negative spread on EUR/USD (off course you wouldn't get filled, but the quotes showed that....)

I'm waiting for a chance to close my position and call it a day, hoping that the can get everything working for tomorrow....

Finally they learn from oanda...system down when the market is moving...even better they freeze mt4 when there is a spike and I encountered it 3 times in last 7days.

My T/P's were hit, but I'm still a little disgusted about this. Hope the rest of you guys are making out.

Just an update on what I'm seeing.

Free EXN plan through MT4 has been up and working the whole time, quotes and trading.

PFL plan through MT4 has been up and tradeable the whole time until last 5 minutes HOWEVER quotes stopped moving for about 30-40 minutes. This is why I keep Desktop Pro running too, so I can see the charts, as quotes there were fine. But, I was able to trade the whole time.

Desktop Pro was up the whole time until about the last 5 minutes.

Website went down, not that I need it, but I happened to check. All Demos seemed fine.
