It does appear that we had an ISP issue that affected the website, phones, and the PFL servers for a bit overnight. However, everything has long since been fixed, except there seems to be a secondary issue related to Asia.
you gotta be kidding me. MBT Desktop Pro is still down and I am not sitting in asia.

Looks this time effect many country,right now my MT4 back to normal,no missing data.
Now look at this, MBeta Trader is on the red according to this list. PFG was number 41. Draw your own conclusions.

+1 can't agree with you more.
+2 second that....bad technology...servers etc. etc.
Desktop pro still working but haven't been able to pull up the website for awhile.
Justin,
I've been with MBTF since 2007, but lately things have made me suspect you're having trouble:

1. I've submitted 2 support tickets recently and got no reply to either. This is new because I've alway gotten a speedy reply in the past. One ticket was about an issue with execution, and the other was a question about an advanced order type. The first one is certainly an issue I'd expect a reply to.

2. You've been having a LOT of computer problems, such as trouble accessing account balances, trouble accessing the main site, and trouble with the trading platform.

3. According to CFTC, your reserve cash is minimal compared to other brokers, like TradeStation, Interactive Brokers and FX Solutions. It's above the required minimum, but barely.

There are an awful lot of reasons to stay with MBTF, but none of them matter if you're not going to be around much longer. Would you mind addressing these issues and putting my heart at ease?

Thank you,

Rob M.

+2 second that....bad technology...sluggish charting sftw. Servers etc. etc. unbelievable...i hope they (MBT) learn to fly straight....i hardly dare to trade with them anymore due to mishaps...losing confidence is a bad thing...
stop the stupid "pay for limit" program, this is killing you.

improve the quality of execution, platform stability, pay your staff more make them happy , etc.

The money lost by your tech issue is far more than you want to save for customers.

Yes, I get that drop in NZDUSD with data from FXDirekt, with a low of 0.7913. Forex Factory shows the low of only 0.7960, but DailyFX (FXCM) shows a low of 0.7909.

Forex doesn't have centralized data. Most of the time the charts will be really close with different data providers, but in circumstances like this there'll be a difference. In this case I think MB Trading is close to correct and IFX missed the boat.

Desktop pro still working but haven't been able to pull up the website for awhile.

Why does it seem to me that there are some issues with MB website blocked IP address out of US in some countries? I have never seen the website down (maybe for a maintenance upgrade, granted, I have no need to go there every moment of every day), but there seem to be people that can never access the site, at least if you assume they are real and their stories are real. Justin, is it possible that this isn't about your site servers but about some strange IP blocking outside the US?

It's the ISP issue I guess. ISP is blocking some IP area due to ddos attack or something like that. The attack should not be targeting MB Trading, but the ISP (maybe this ISP hold some website in which the content is threat to someone/institution, you know what I mean). So once in a while, if there is an attack and ISP blocking the IP area where the attacking is from.

But the point is why other US based brokers have no such issues or minimum, they have back up servers or their ISP is more "intelligent". I am not expert, but for what ever, it should have ways to avoid.

Ok so now we are starting to get something constructive here.

Read around Justin and you will see that traders are after a HONEST broker. People are tired of fighting the market AND their brokers.

I had to split my account in 2 and send 40% of it to another broker just to hedge and lock profits or protect my capital when Oanda decided to play their tricks.

My account may not be that big but 10 guys like me would account for close to 2 millions and thats good money even for MB to have.

I'm not with oanda anymore but I have to keep a second...

bingo....

It's a bit worrying that a single ISP issue can take down both phones and website; and all the P4L servers.

I would think that all of your customers have a backup phone available in case they have ISP problems, but you don't appear to have even this basic level of resilience.

You can't use MBT Mobile with an MT4 account, this is stated in the account documents very clearly and on the site. If you have an MT4 PFL account, you can use MetaTrader4 Mobile. It is still coming for FREE EXN MT4 accounts.
