Forexsavior............ You make a good point. I will certianly take the suggestion under consideration. Regards, Steve

Please keep in mind since we do not operate a deal desk there is not much need to for trading risk excess. MBT utilizes an ECN and agency model.

Hi Forexsavior, I see this is your first post. Welcome to ET. For point of clarification…………. First, the National Futures Association (NFA) has noticed its Forex Dealer Members (FDM) of a new proposal to increase the minimum net capital requirements of those members. The...

Daal, There are a few things that could be causing this. This is based on the tax treaty the US has with his specific country to pay his portion of taxes, maximum 30% withholding on dividend and interest income to the account. I would want to ensure that TEFRA issues were resolved. If you...

Manz, May I make a suggestion? Please call us at MBT and let us help you. It sounds like you enterred a limit order and received a price improvement however my guess is that you meant to enter a stop order so that you would get filled once the price reached 70. Nevertheless, we can only...

Hi TV........... Just for clarification, this is not a software issue but a TCP/IP issue. And yes to the question. As far as demo, our demo servers don't do nearly the processes that the production servers do and therefore their overhead is not even close. Regards, Steve

I just came across this thread now and I apologize for not responding earlier. As far as our spreads widening 20-30 pips, that is not accurate. We do disseminate quotes directly from the banks feeds within our network so what they deliver you get. I generally notice during times of news that...

Marketsurfer..... MBT Navigator\sounds are where the files are stored. Put whatever .wav files you want in the directory above and set the events in the Sounds tab within Preferences in the NAV. Also we will be adding charts. I can't say specifically when it will be done but it wont be...

benajnim, That is a good question. The size that is displayed comes from the various banks and customers resting orders. For example if a bank wants to bid for 2 million it will display accordingly however what the bank displays does not necessarily mean that is entirely what the bank want...

benjanim........... Some see it. 3DFX's goal in time is to get as many banks to see the orders as possible. Regards, Steve

Benajnim, Your inquiry is very welcomed. The ECN technology (3D Forex) is a separate company and joint venture that was developed in part by the principals of MBT. However it is an autonomously run company and of which MBT is a customer. You will see in the near future that the location...

Pippi.... That is exactly an example of the details I am waiting on amongst many.

At this point we are waiting on them to go into production not to mention awaiting all the details. I expect we should know more within a few months.

yes but I am still waiting on all the details

benajnim, I appreciate the question and the open forum to give insight for how orders are handled. In an effort to keep it simple let me illustrate a few possibilities. You hit the nail on the head in the event that you post a bid/offer which could cross with another customer that wants to...

Lon....... "admit"? Half the battle in this was trying to understand the question. Hence, why I asked you to clarify. MBT routes through 3D Forex and 3D Forex charges MBT for each position (not netted). Regardless of this as I have mentioned several times before MBT custodians all funds...

Lon..... MBT does not act as a prime broker but as a self clearing FCM. Therefore any conversion of currencies are done with our bank when it comes to wiring funds. Again, MBT did not charge you the conversion rate. I certainly want to be able to help and seek ways of improvement for all...

Lon..... Thank you for clarifying. We would roll it over tom/next.

we dont..........

Lon.......... I can see that you have a different interpretation of what an ECN means. Please look at it just like the way ARCA is an ECN. An Electronic Communication Network which allows for banks, institutions, and retail customers to all trade together within one network. It clearly...
