Cheers for the offer, but it seems the FIX guy was 'out of the office' and the wheels are now in motion.

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

I'm not sure that's what you meant It is the lack of middleware in the FIX solution which is peaking my interest. I already have ATS software, but at the moment it is connecting though TWS to IB, TWS is a pain (as are other aspects of IDEALPRO). ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Sorry, misinterpreted your question. Grid EA eh? Do you know the story of Dr Zogg?

Will my scalping EA survive live?

Will my scalping EA survive live?

Mixing Timeframes on a Metatrader Chart
