    Does MB Trading charge a 50 cent fee for each check written on the checking account they offer to their customers? The MB web site shows a 50 cent fee for each "bill pay transaction" (what ever that means).

    Any chance of adding more futures to your available list, like... ZB, ZN, CL, NG, C, S, ICE products, etc....

  5. I have never had a broker like MB trading, There customer support is bar none. Every time I call I get a live person, there is no recording. :)

  6. Any one trade the intraday forex market with MB? Any reviews on that side of it?

    I was going with fxdd untill I started reading about MB. I didn't go with IB because of low leverage.

    Thanks

    Stay away from MB Trading like a bad disease.
    People are inexperienced and there back office clearing form, Penson, knows nothing about futures.
    Penson if not geared toward futures trading with limited trading hours in a 24 hour world.
    Plus there system sucks big time in dealing with real-time problems.

    IMHO

  8. forex....not futures.

    Besides you seem to be the exception and not the rule. I read your desiese statement befor. The majority agree that there customer service if the best around. And only there prices are a little high. I'll pay more fr better service any way.


    Thanks for your opinion but is any one currently trading intraday forex with them?

  9. Quick unrelated question.

    Why is MB Trading not offered in Canada, whereas it is offered in numerous other countries, many of whom I was surprised to see on the list.

    Here's the link where I got the info.
