That was my thought too, but I left it as is...pick your battles as they say. And, more importantly, it is the deep liquidity spread that truly matters, not just the net spread. A dishonest broker could keep a 0.1 spread using single microlots, ...

Intu, I've had resting orders for over 10min that show wrong commissions, it's a bug in their system. I originally thought it was for limits filled w/ positive slippage, but found wrong commissions for limits filled at the entered price, so who ...

Quant, I too disagree w/ the premise, but here is Justin's response from a post a while back This is the entire post if you are interested. url I too think that they are splitting up their base far too much. Better to have just taken the chosen ...

Justin said it was because they selected a few LP's to feed liquidity into the Free EXN thereby making them 'try a little harder' to get fills equaling tighter spreads. IMHO, they screwed the pooch on this. They have alienated all their old ...

TradeOffice, I had some problem yesterday and AGAIN, same problem today. For my daily PnL reporting, I am assuming they fix this issue, but it is especially annoying. Yesterday was 4 incorrect rebates, today is 6. Utterly sucks having to run daily ...

How good is MBT MT4 platform?

Fair enough, and a hearty thank you for looking into my failed hypothesis. As you stated the first time, and appears to be the case, market dynamics have changed a bit. Luckily this old dog can learn new tricks too Cheers and thanks Justin + MBT ...

AMEN I tried to subtly introduce this issue a few weeks back and basically got "all is normal" by Justin, but I humbly disagree. And MBT can prove it. They can easily see the "in house fill rate" before and after Free EXN was introduced. My guess is ...

My 2 cents — *Warning, QuadX labels me MBT Boy Band Leader--so take what's below for what it is * So, here is how I'd approach the question-- 1.) Trade Live--There is no excuse not to load up a $500 acct and test any and all brokers live. ...

Pete, Yes, you get paid for any non-marketable limit orders that gets filled. If you want to scalp 0.1pip and gain $0.06USD in rebates, you can (rebate rate = 1 micro lot, 1000 units). You can place orders inside the spread, and all those other ...

Perfect, thanks, I will leave the board in peace for a few days. Much appreciated Justin (and other positive and productive commentators)... PS...QuadX just ripped on OANDA's board too...he's just not happy...maybe if he joined the MBT boyz he would ...

By the way, today I had stuck bids in the market depth and slow chart updates--MBT is not perfect nor do I declare them to be--But relative to other brokers--they get my seal of approval...

Yes, but as mentioned later by brisully and myself, it is the market orders that have moved, as I have qualitatively determined. MBT and you have the hard numbers, if you could do a bit of data mining and calculate the number of market orders per X ...

[quote=QuadrupleX;5542778] Maybe this should become my signature as it would save myself from having to repeat it again and again...it's the only TRUE way to gauge a broker...Forums are crap, friends are crap, pros are crap for advice...live and die ...

Classic, blinded by rage I take it. ZZ was just pointing out your spelling mistake, it's "customer" not "costumer". No need for name calling. I'd hate to be near you when a position goes against you...wow. As for questions about MBT--here is the ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

My worthless two cents--if you are going to trade with MBT, forgo MT4, 90% of the complaints here ultimately relate to that software. Desktop Pro works well, SDK is available if you are an automated trader, and NinjaTrader is also an option. MT4 = ...

Ha! I was just thinking about it today as well. My screen recorder failed during trading this AM and stream of thought lead to remembering your issue. Glad it was fixed and thanks for the info. There is still the issue of why the tick was removed ...
