I'm sure its on their end... they are used to deal desk broker versions of MT4... throw FIFO, 28 different order types, partial fills... they just haven't spent the time to program their end to handle that.

MB has an API for them and is willing to add things to it if they need it... based on discussions I've read in the Idea Exchange....

I'm sure they are making a cost benefit analysis... until they feel that they are missing out of something by not servicing MB clients, its easier just to not support MB clients.

Squeeky wheel gets the...
MBT's client base is too small compare to standard MM type of brokers. I used to make a report on the issue that i encountered to Fxstat. Guess what? No reply at all.

Scott,

That is great news, thanks for letting us know. If you have any suggestions for future YouTube training videos, certainly let us know. This is probably the best place for the suggestions.

Wow... Desktop pro now has a scripting language to code custom indicators.

Probably not gonna be as neat as NinjaTrader's seamless use of C# and DotNet, but once a couple of years ago I was asked the question, "What would you need in Navigator to meet your needs?".

I responded it never would because without the ability to code my proprietary indicators, it was useless to me.

Wonders never cease.... guess I am going to have to take a serious look at this new version of Desktop.

Where is this new scripting capability to be found? Couldnt find it at a first glance at the new version. Are there any docs available?

I was basing that on this screen...

http://www.mbtrading.com/mbtDesktopPro.aspx

Unfortunately when I clicked the link to the manual to look at the documentation it hasn't been updated since 6/30/2011.

Pretty hard to program in a language with no documentation. Guess I'll wait till they update the docs.

I disagree. I've already found several useful tidbits in these that I never would have known. It's a great collection of tutorials and they are actually done by the guy that teaches the webinars. Very useful stuff and a long time coming.

I'm talking specifically about the audio. It amazes me how a company would make something public with such a poor audio quality.

My question again. Would bankrupt them to pay somebody to record a decent audio?

Justin any plans to enhance the TTO order type to include multiple take profit prices? I am accustomed to using a DOM like ninjatrader which has 3 stop and profit levels built in.

I have watched many of the new tutorials on the youtube as well, audio sounds fine to me. They are very helpful and nice when you can't make it to one of the webinar classes. Maybe you have a problem with your computer speakers?

Again, sounds great to me and I have learned a lot from these youtube videos.
