MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Certainly you must do what works for you, but it was weird that they were rude. Usually MB is on top in the customer service department. Maybe she/he was having a bad day. Was it one person, or was everyone sharing that same sentiment.

Any comments re: FastBrokers?

Having this awareness is the beginning of a perfect relationship with your broker (or anyone for that matter). You have to know what you want...how you want it, and then you must weigh what each broker is offering to see if it is a good fit for your ...

OpenECry, TradeStation, Interactive Brokers, PFG Best. I cannot say that slippage is a non-issue in futures, but because it is exchange traded, you'll never have to worry about requotes or incorrect pricing. Level II is available It's a true ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

If you are a market maker style broker, if it is a volitile period in the markets or if there are too many orders coming through, the broker must still take the other side of the trade. They may need some time to ensure that they can pass off the ...

Use a tool such as mt4spreads.com or mt4i.com to get a good idea of what the true average spreads are at a brokerage. It is showing 1.3 for the Eur/USd

Alfonso, Please address the disconnect issue during news time or during other volitile periods. If your fxTrade system was so well designed, why are live account users still having these problems? If you cannot address these issues on a manual ...

Is there any plans to open an Australia division or other non-USA division?

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

It's usually not that much. But it's the same thing as dukascopy or other broker reducing the leverage over the weekend. It's only to protect the broker against the exposed risk. The spreads go back to normal when the market opens again. Watch again ...

The offsetting take profit limit order should be non-marketable, especially considering the FIFO in the USA. But then again, in forex market retail most of the time, the commission is charged on the entry, not the exit of a position. This is a very ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Excellent clarification. Makes perfect sense now.....all of it. To give a summary, just placing limit (or stop limit) orders alone does not automatically qualify you for the bonus. At the exact time the limit portion of the order is received at the ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

i know exactly how you feel. We really have to wait and see on this one. I don't think oanda will be able to pull it off. Not without significant slippage/requotes/disconnects. If they cant do it with their basic manual trade Java software, I really ...

Oanda goes Metatrader

I don't quote follow how a stop limit order is still a market order. It's actually 2 orders. One stop order and one limit order. Once the stop is hit, the resulting limit order is what is sent to the (market) ECN, correct? So it is a limit order at ...

Thanks. I had a related question. What happens if a country falls on the bad list. Are those clients banned altogether? Or they just open up a bank account in an alternate jurisdiction?

GoMarkets Discussion

Is thailand included in this list? How often is this Austrac list updated? Can you provide me with a link? What made you pick the Netherlands vs other EU or UK jurisdiction?

I don't run multicharts now for charting. I helped them test with OEC api (OpenECry). That was about 3 or 4 years ago. That was the last time I used it for trading. I looked at the platform again about a year ago as I was considering MBT or OEC for ...

TradeStation for trading forex?

I thought that with MulitCharts, you can open up separate windows (workstations), each with tabs and then just place the windows wherever you want. It's been like that for a while now. I think for futures, it's 10 round-turn trades per statement ...

I've used GoM running EA 24/5 and had no problems with execution. I did have it on a VPS near their datacenter, so latency was always <1 ms. At worst, the fill may have taken a second or 2 longer to be reported back to the Any slippage that occurred ...

Best broker for news trading

Here is the thing I find difficult to understand. If the broker (house) makes their money through commissions (rake), then who cares if someone wins or loses? Don't they make money either way anyway? I guess we are talking about brokers who use ...

Broker Arbitrage

Well, we cannot have it both ways. Either the individual investor is allowed to choose who to invest with and who not to invest with. Or Currensee or outside regulators can impose a bunch of restrictions to make us feel safe that we'll later ...
