Lon Eagle........... When did you have an account with EFX? I have to assume it was some time ago? TDFX is an STP system and was one of the first of it's type. It improves with age and the technology changes have been significant. In addition to the technology as the liquidity grows so does...

Miami........ I researched the quote issue you saw on Sunday and can confirm that we were experiencing a line outages to several of the larger banks we connect too. As such the quotes that were displayed were the resting limit orders of TDFX retail clients. As more banks came on line and the...

Miami.... You are referring to the first 20 minutes or so after we started to come online on Sunday. Because we are a 100% direct access firm and as such our quotes are an aggregation of a multitude of banks. That means as they come on line our spreads narrow to 1 pip down to choice. This...

Pippi.............. This should fix the problem you were having. Please download and install this version.............. http://www.mbtrading.com/waters/mbt-beta.exe Regards, Steve

boony...... At that time of the screenshot there was a bank participant that did not refresh their quote. There are various ways that we remedy this and in this case we pulled the bank which was not updating. Regards, Steve

moe27...... We are looking into it. I will keep everyone updated if we move forward with them. Regards, Steve

Electric......... No, not at the moment (for both questions) Regards, Steve

toby....... My apologies for not responding earlier. It is not a cost issue but one of suitability. We at MBT are generally more conservative and feel it is potentially not appropriate to accept payment to fund an account that could be creating debt (credit card) for that customer...

Tradeviper........... We had a router bounce which caused certain traders on that order server to experience a disconnect from the server. We were able to replace it with a redundant router which took a total of approximately 6 minutes. The router had bounced at 8:36am PST. We had informed...

granville.......... The difference in this example is that if a non-bank participant had a quote that was displaying it wouldn't have the possibility of being stale. That is because as an ECN the quote would have been pulled down if the participant had been filled (for the full amount of the...

waelmg.... Sometimes this can happen but generally speaking it is not tradeable because the bank with the "stale" quote is sending an update simultaneously. Usually you will only see it for a second or so before the update comes. Regards, Steve

traderviper...... The spreads do widen a little on MBT. I can't say exactly how much because we do not have fixed spreads but I can say it's within reason. I would not expect for you to find it unusual or abnormally wide. The best way to see for yourself is to sign up for a demo. The demo...

Hi Pippi.... I see the problem. For the time being, apparently North American is required. However, I am on this and will get back to you after I see what our development team says can be done. Regards, Steve

Sem.... I would be happy to clarify that MBT is in fact using an ECN for forex. Please help me understand why you think it is not an ECN that MBT utilizes and how size (minis) makes a difference? Regards, Steve

Abe, The registry entry is in fact from the installation of the Navigator. As GTS correctly explained this is NOT CommonName or Spyware however because it is an undocumented registry entry spyware scanners interrupted as such. This is a MSFT bug which they appear to have fixed in the newer...

Abe..... From one of my previous posts........ " I am here to educate our clients and prospects. I attempt to treat all with dignity and respect. If this conversation becomes aggravating for you then please pardon my ignorance and chalk it up to a win in your book. In the mean time I will...

Bitstream......... If your only intention on knowing a bank name is to discuss who gave a bad fill then it seems like a bit of misplaced effort. Your complaint would be to the FCM (MBTF) in this case. As such MBTF would then go take the fight up on your behalf. Regards, Steve

simple.......... I can not stress to you how much I enjoy this. Its like a good session of “let it all out”. You have the opportunity to tell me your fears and concerns and I have the opportunity in an open forum to respond and dispel those fears. In the end we get a more educated...

We don’t disclose because we have award winning routing and systems which has benefited our clients for just short of a decade. FX is an emerging market place and as such the less we help competitors build systems to compete with us the better for our clients and us. But I will let you in on...
