MB Trading: Good, bad or pretty much the usual US based broker?

All of the threads regarding MB Trading are older, so I was seeing if anyone here currently uses them or has in the past and what their thoughts and experiences were.
Pros/cons ? Spreads live not demo , pay for providing liquidity etc.

The offer C trader which I have demoed with an overseas broker but I am very hesitant to send money to Estonia, Dominca, Belize, Cyprus, Malta etc.
I have been with Oanda for 14 months and looking for US based alternatives. Not FXCM though, too much negative comments for them.

I have used MB Trading for about 18 months, trading a small account with an EA running. I have had no problems with any transactions, and had good experience with tech support. I recently made my first withdrawal and no problems.

Being MBT's customer since 2008, no compliant. Spread is decent, execution good, withdrawal is fast. That's what I need plus it's a America based broker.

P.S I am referring to its desktop platform here, haven't used cTrader nor MT4.

I tried MB once. They weren't very good. The people I spoke to on the phone weren't helpful, in fact they seemed disinterested and bored. Had to call twcie just to get my MT4 login and password. Their MT4 platform sucked, couldn't place breakout trades ( stops above and below range) because I'd get a message claiming it was against FIFO rules ( which is utter baloney, do it all the time on Oanda's MT4).

Try Oanda, much better run outfit (and NO I don't work for them, so my recommendation isn't a paid plug for them).

Zkf, are you using the spread only or the commission based plan ?
How are the spreads on EU, UJ, GU ? On Oanda it averages 1.2-1.9 during NY and London times. 2.2-2.8 in off hours.
Thanks

Terrible spreads and worse in terms of account holders profitability in the US including MM.

I once used their commission based plan, when they started to offer spread only account, I switch.

In normal times, EU 1.2, UJ 1.5 GU 2.5 pips around.


In fact, I think all US based fx brokers are good as long as you are not die-hard scalpper or news trader. US based broker are under toughest regulation, that why I stay with them.

That's it, wish you luck~

Can someone shed some light on their platform(s)? They offer Ctrader, Ninja Trader, and their own platform. Are any of them any good? Im coming from FXCM and I love their platform. Its so easy and convenient. However, Im switching at least for a little while until they work things out.

Any information on their platforms would be greatly appreciated.

they don't offer cTrader (at least not anymore).
