Being able to open and close trades seperately is a must as far as I am concerned when choosing a broker. This is where MB falls short.
Funny though how this post was started and most of the replies are about MB trading.
:
lol cheers for your input jagui.
yeah i have no relationship with MB either, otherwise the thread title woulda been "anyone tried MB?"
currently i'm just waiting for the big data coming out later this week, and putting straddles in to see how things go.
nd1377's comments worry me so i figured NFP time will be a good time to test a whole bunch of them at the same time witht he same straddle orders,.....provided my pc holds up

just as a quick update:
mb trading no probs with market order at 8:29:27 on demo when the move started. not even a requote!
kinda had trouble closingit cos i was an idiot and didnt read the instructions, still was a good run. lol havin trouble closing was a plus
coesfx, same thing, but was easier to close. didnt have to read instructions.
hotspot i didnt run cos i've had it open the past week and really didnt like the way it looks. lol superficial i know, but just couldnt get into the feel of it.
i'm quite liking mb alot and ithink thats where i'll be going soon
moe howd you make out today if you traded NFP live?

"Ahahaha! Demotrading is a joke, especially at news time, you'll never get slippige or requotes on a demo. Go live and you'll be shocked at the difference in fills."- jesie
.... which is exactly why i started this thread, and its my reply to ND and someone else who tried the demo and said they had probs with MB's demo. would serve you well to read the whole thread in the future
