Hi all, I’ve been a full-time futures trader for the last 6 years or so. After an expensive initial learning curve, became profitable about 2 years ago. Prior to trading, was in the corporate world for a couple of years. I’m currently at the upper limit of the maximum amount of trading risk...

I'm with MBT and have received the exact same email from Knight about an hour ago (better late than never). MFG and PFG have set a bad precedent. No doubt. The only mitigating factor with Knight, in my opinion, is that the circumstances that caused liquidity issues at the firm are different...

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...

Tuesday morning. Numerous disconnects AGAIN ("Trading temporarily unavailable", "invalid username", "internal database error") starting around 3:00 am EST.

FYI: MBT sent out an e-mail on Wednesday, 11/30/11, informing customers of changes to data feed pricing (see below) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Valued Customer, We are writing to inform you that MB Trading has changed its...
