Quote from Mark2m:


3) Minimum is $30 per month whether you trade or not, so if $26 in trades than you pay $4 more at the end of the month.



This seemed to be a little more than what I recalled as IB's activity minimums. I went back and read IB's activity minimums and this is the way I understood the minimum activity cost per month: If a trader generates less than $10 per month in trade commissions in a month, a fee will be added so the fee plus the commissions equals $10.00. Also, if a client is signed up for the USA market data bundle, there is a additional $10.00 monthly fee which is waived whenever the monthly commissions generated in the account reach 30.00 USD. The way I interpret this is the minimum monthly charge for no activity is $10.00 if the client is not signed up for the USA market data bundle. If the client is signed up for the USA market data bundle, the total monthly fee for no trading activity is $20.00.

MBTrading Mobile has been showing no positions, zero account balance since futures opened Sunday night (still the case now). MBT Desktop app looks fine to me right now (account normal)

Watchlists on the same mobile app (Android) has been screwed for 2 weeks...get some sort of error that says 'try again later'.

Closed my account after only 1 month with them. Customer service never responds, website/mobileapp so buggy and agree with the no positions in the mornings, etc. Plus they use Penson financial as agent and atlas ratings puts them down close to PFG on the list so that's not good.

MBT sent out a letter about a month ago informing its futures clients that Knight Execution & Clearing Services (now part of Knight Capital) has taken over futures clearing operations from Penson Futures Division.

As fate would have it, Knight Capital is on the front page of every major newspaper with today's headline indicating that they took a $440 million loss as a result of yesterday's "trading glitch". In light of this development, any reason to be concerned about the safety of funds held in MBT Futures accounts?
