Is this on eur/usd only?
I only trade EURUSD so I don't know about the other pairs.

Guys,

As I posted previously, I did report this issue last week up the ladder when you brought it up (along with the execution lag in MT4). They fixed the execution lag fairly quickly. They are looking at this one to pinpoint the problem. When I can report more, I will, and it should be soon, but we have enough information now to see what is going on. This is not being ignored.

Thank you for the update. It was unclear to me that the problem is still being looked at.

I look forward to your next report on this issue.

Guys, I have some good news:

1st, the spread of EUR/USD on the Free EXN plan has been narrower since 20 Jan. Now average spread is 0.9, well done!

2nd, I think the Free EXN plan accounts now tradable on MBT Desktop/ Desktop Pro (I haven't tried BTW). Until last week, when I selected a Free EXN account in MBT Desktop Pro, it always gave me error message. No more error message now and I can see live posion/balance etc. Great!



Shouldn't Justin buy me a beer for advertizing?

One of the highest impacting news releases each month for EURUSD and the quote feed ran normally through the announcement with no hitches. We got some normal widening up to 2.2 pips just prior to the announcement, but this is expected and the quotes ran freely without sticking.

I just had a buy limit order filled at price EURUSD 0.00001 (Live account). strange. I closed the trade, and took profit, it was credited to my account.

Was it EURUSD future meaning EUR will be 0.00001 at some point?

EUR is in free fall mode now. 1.29777 ATM.

It could drop back to 1.2650 area in next few days.

rooicol,

Please be aware, this was an erroneous trade that will be busted. The EUR obviously never went to 0.00001 and trade desk is reviewing now.

I attended the online webinar trainings over the past few days. Very very helpful, especially the Desktop pro as I am learning to use this particular software.

Question that I forgot to ask; can you run the same Desktop pro fx account at the same time on two different computers? Thanks in advance!

Nope, nor can you have an API-SDK connection and a simultaneous Desktop connection, as far as I know...

Yes you can, but you have to ask for a secondary login account to use with API-SDK or Second Desktop Pro, with secondary account you can open 2 platform at the same time!

Did it happen again last night? I think you've stumbled across a new market inefficiency to exploit

Looking at the data, MBT is certainly working on it.

For the last 2 days, I've recorded all ticks with spreads greater than 2.0 pips and less than 0.0.

I've attached the data for those interested.

Thanks... I had the same idea but have been to busy to code it up.

I agree, they are working on it from the looks of it.
