MBtrading issue

Discussion in 'Forex Brokers' started by davidmaria1, Feb 13, 2008.

  1. FX and futures. It is a hassle not having an intergrated account. I'm running fx on auto and take NT generated signals on futures which I enter into stand alone NAV.

  2. What free charting software is compatible with MBfx ?

  3. Not sure if you mean direct integration, as neo is with MB? I opened an Oanda chart to use with the MB demo order entry.
    Electronic duct tape until I decide which broker to use.
    Short list.
    Oanda-but no trailing stops
    MB-but needs outside charting
    FXCM-not entirely familiar with the platform yet
    Tradestation-been there, done that, thank you.
    Any thoughts? I know Big Frank uses MB.
    Any other opinions?
    BTW, MB had another ghost order on my log-in this a.m.. I'm up over $800 in "ghost" orders! Good sales tactic.

  4. I recommend any of the 4 primary retail ECNs (IB, MBT/EFX, HotSpotFX, Dukascopy), but with all of them, you're going to want external 3rd party charting.

    IB's data with a 3rd party tool such as QuoteTracker or Amibroker isn't bad.

    You can also use any MT4 broker's demo for charting if you prefer the MetaTrader platform. The demos don't expire.

  5. I'm assuming you mean an integrated 3rd party chart service? I downloaded the Interbankfx demo, will try it, thanks for the info.

    #########################################

    Dukascopy - Swiss market not regulated
    IBKR ,MBT -not pure agent of principals
    MBT ,Hotspotfx - low capitalization ...


    Divide capitals between 3-4 accounts -correct .But ,suspect
    Swiss must be avoided for Forex (shares in Swiss different from
    Forex ,regulated from EBK)


    Your respectfully ...

  7. Couldn't agree more. I have accounts at all but HotSpot, which I'll probably open sooner or later. Never put all your eggs in one basket.

  9. Why have an account at all, when you can just deposit a fraction of your equity with one broker and hold the rest in an intrest bearing business bank account. At the beginning of each year, i put in 40% of my capital with the broker, and withdraw profits quarterly and sometimes half yearly.

  10. Not a bad idea either. I'm not at the point of a single account yet, never mind multiples. Not sure if there will be a shakeout with the NFA/CFTC. Still paper trading Oanda and MB platforms, still undecided.
