From more than 12 hours that I am trying to solve one problem with MBT: my account was locked, I don't know why. Three hours ago it has been unlocked, I don't know how. But now that my account is unlocked, I see from MBT Navigator my demo account only, I don't see my real account, only the demo. And MBTrading web interface gives me always IIS error (Internet Information Server asp.net page). Support doesn't answer me (via chat, for me it is easier). What is happening?

thank you

I tried logging into the website a few hours ago and got a login has been locked out message. A quick call to customer service got it unlocked.

I asked what caused the issue and was told it was owing to the recent outage.

OK, then I'll wait to pass the weekend, thank you Crassius.

I get the same on my end. It is a Holiday weekend, and a long one at that. Patience is a virtue.

My MT4 works and logs-in fine. It is the website login that keeps giving the "Login Locked Out" message. It is time to find another broker.... one without so many issues all the time.

Hi all,

We increased some security on our website this week and evidently it caused a login issue for some. There are no issues with software or trading platforms or accounts in general, it was merely a website security enhancement that caused a glitch. It is fixed now and everyone should be able to log in fine. Happy Holidays to all.

I thought all brokers were closed on Christmas Day?

How come I'm able to log in and trade right now?

Probably because you thought wrong. Christmas is not a national holiday all around the globe you know.

Smartasses are aptly named ... as they tend to talk out their ass because there's not much going on in their head. This the MB Trading THREAD, and MB Trading is a U.S. broker, genius. What the hell does "Christmas not being a national holiday all around the globe" have to do with anything?

Next time try using what little you actually have in your head before speaking.


Most Forex brokers remain open for every holiday except Christmas and New Year's Day. Stock markets and banks have slightly different holiday schedules


This is what Forex Factory writes for every "Bank Holiday" on their calendar.

Wonder why I would think so.


And either way, I don't know what crawled up your asshole, but quite frankly I don't give a shit.

Back the FUCK off.

Most western country's banks follow the Gregorian calendar, then they follow their own National/local/provicial holiday schedule. Forex opening hours are entirely up to the broker, but they usually follow the local holiday schedule.

Usually christmas/new years is celebrated consistently with all western countries. And usually the forex market is closed. Brokers really need to do a better job of using their EMAIL list and email their holiday trading hours.

Quite wrong. i can't recall a single instance in which the forex market as a whole was ever closed on christmas unless it fell on Friday or Saturday when markets are normally closed. Further, this doesn't mean that your broker may not be closed. Certainly, your broker's sales staff and customer support may be gone for the day but the market is simply not closed and if you can't access the markets through your trading platform, you're probably not using a real broker which MBT certainly is.

Aww...pooky get a little miffed? *chuckle* Nothing crawled up my rear end but something must certainly have crawled up yours. All I'm saying is that you thought wrong and that Christmas probably means as much to the Japanese as Kwanza means to the Germans.

Cheers

MB Trading has been closed on Christmas Day in the past. It is up to the brokers what they want to do, and of course, most banks are closed and probably not all liquidity providers are showing quotes either. However, I suspect that MB Trading has decided that they would just rather be open instead of having trading available but their customers not able to, no matter how thin the market. Makes sense, really. And I did get an email from them about Holiday hours stating that they would be open.

Man, you guys fight about the dumbest stuff though.

I have a live P4L account with MBT. Today on the MBT Desktop Pro platform, I see many EUR/USD large orders over 1000 lots in the ladder that I don't see during a normal trading day. Anybody else has noticed? Any idea why?

And, also in a live "Free EXN" account MT4 platform, the spread of EUR/USD constantly at around 0.9, not usual 1.3 or 1.4. What's going on?

Has MB Trading quietly added liquidity providers???

If the spread keeps at 0.9 or lower most of time, MB Trading going to win lots lots of customers, IMHO.
If you can't tell, just wait. The market will.

When can we expect a 64 Bit version of MB Trading software ?. I use Ninja Trader 32 Bit version because there is no 64 bit version of the MB connection software. The 64 bit version would allow me to open a lot more charts ... than I can in the 32 bit version

well well, I just found the charts on P4L and "Free EXN" are different. Around 17:07 on 26th Dec, there was a huge dip on the "Free EXN" chart. EUR/USD was as low as 1.30100!!! It seems prices are more volatile on the "Free EXN" plan. Is that correct? I hope Justin could clarify this, please.

This means if I had been on the "Free EXN" plan, my stop loss would have been triggered. hmmmmm...
