anyone trade Forex with MB Trading ?

Jharvey, I was playing around with the esignal feed yesterday, and I did find that with tickquest you can superimpose different feeds on the chart so if you want a composite of several providers, you can stack one on top of the other, this cuts out the retail noise from gain, etc.

Word is that MB/EFX Group will be coming out with their own charting program within a month. I understand it to be a free deal for customers as well.

I use eSignal and am a customer of MB/EFX. I like to watch the feeds of GFT, Gain and COES in eSignal. All seem to be real close to MB.

 

is there ANY advantage to going with EFX instead of MB directly?

Thanks,

SURF, good to hear from you. Yes there is an advantage. EFX rates are lower.

Also, EFX is offering 2 charting options. A free chart package with Quote Tracker, and it appears, one through eSignal - not sure if that one is free though. It doesn't appear that there is any difference on the commissions. EFX is an IB for MBTrading. When opening an account with EFX, the funds are sent to the MB Trading account at WF.

 

Does EFX offer mini accounts (MB does)?

 

TradeViper,


Where do you see the difference in
rates between MB and EFX ?!

 

I talked to a rep about 6 months ago, and the rates may have changed by now, but as I recall it was like 2 bucks cheaper with EFX.

They don't offer a mini account per se; they offer what they call a "Universal" account that has 100:1 leverage and a lot size in multiples of 10K (1 lot). Opening funds needed is $400.

 

ok, thanks. still a little confused--- rates looks identical between EFX and MB. anyone can get free quotetracker charting with or without EFX and esignal costs the same with or without efx. any other reasons for EFX over MB direct?

thanks,
