Fair enough, and when you get the reply, please post it. And I will be sure to not be around to say "I told you so"...The answer is in my reply, but guess you'll have to hear it from Armada rather than someone trying to help...

Fail--limit orders are guaranteed price, not guaranteed fill. Based on Forex Factory feed, price barely touched .994 then retreated. My MBT acct shows a bid high of .99399 for that same period. It's the downside of limit orders, I had the same thing ...

Seems to me the issue is Metatrader, not MBT. Crassius uses NinjaTrader and is content w/ MBT (not to put words in his mouth). I use Navigator Pro and am content w/ MBT. MBT may have sold themselves to the devil offering MT4, but at least you have ...

Remember that the ticks of Crassius' and the MBT Nav charts are all just price changes at the bid. True sales data is not provided. Nonetheless, how ever those low, bad bids entered the system, they still caused stop triggering... In reality, this ...

Crassius, bang on as usual...the voice of reason and experience, if people have not noticed. The issue today, imho, is that the tick flow did cause erroneous trade(s) and that the bad ticks disappeared from the MBT historical data. For me, I am most ...

Here is the other spike pointed out by Traderji

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Yeah, not good, and I was done trading for the day so I don't have a screen-recording, but trust me, I'm recording 100% of the session when I have trades on. No way I'll fall for that too. I also record each tick to file. I suspect the burden of ...

CTS, I deleted my post as it was horribly written and unclear. Glad the spike did not hurt you too bad. I too am implementing more stops and the spikes do un-nerve me a bit, although I also trust MBT above most others to make it right. In the end, ...

Justin, In this case, this was not a rollover spike. At 11:11-11:12EST, MBT EURUSD spiked down to 1.30000 whereas all my other feeds only show a low of ~1.30300. See Screenshots and NOTE: Reloading new MBT EURUSD chart on separate computer does not ...

My guess is bad ticks at rollover. You won't get filled on these bad ticks as order server is offline. Search forum, it's all here. As for spread, some times it's better, some times it's worse...at least it doesn't blow out to 10+ on news...fact is, ...

Justin, Is the above statement still true? Placed a trade for 3000 and was filled in 1 order. I'll keep playing, but want to be sure I'm not completely wasting my time. I should add that I am currently only testing limit orders via the SDK. And it ...

Everyone should follow your lead, I could tell from the first post nothing would satisfy this guy. Must be nearing a full moon as all the whiners and criers are out tonight. Thanks to Justin and MBT as they are the most MATURE, organized, ...

THANKS! — Again Justin, your time and energy expended sharing such information is very much appreciated. The insight not only into MBT's motivations, but the motivation of your LP's is eye-opening. The difference between inclusivity and ...

Awesome quantitative data rooicol. As I understand it, PFL and Free are two completely different systems and, while customers may have accts on both systems, orders are restricted to either PFL or Free. Otherwise, one could arbitrage the two and ...

Justin, First and foremost, your and MBT's transparency and sharing of the inner workings is very refreshing and appreciated. If I may expand on the Free-EXN vs Pay-For-Limits discussion. As a fairly new trader, I share the opinion of Zzn. I was ...

We've all been there, attached is a screenshot of everything working perfectly. Having never used L+TTO, your issue was a good time for me to test. So we both win. Took 4min to fill and 30min to hit stop. Good stuff. Get some rest Bronc

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Unless I am missing something (and I don't use TTO) orders, you are placing limit orders to buy that are well above the current market, therefore being executed as markets. Had your buy orders been below current market, the orders would rest until ...
