Nice discussion, thanks. I am fairly new to Forex and brand new to this group. Great group by the way, lot's of knowledge. Anyway I use MB Trading and trade the news almost GBP/USD exclusivley. I have not noticed any big pip spread during news and my data on MBT usally varies one to two pips from a feed I get from FXCM. Somewhere I was told that MBT uses about ten banks, if that is true that could be the differance. Just noticed there is no spell check. Sorry
