MBtrading issue

Quote from mktman:

Frank,

Neoticker great product been using it for 2 years now your right does have a bit of a learning curve.

Are you trading equities or forex or a combo of both? Sure wish one could trade both forex and equities at the same time but not possible

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.
 
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.
 
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.

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 ...

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.

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.
 
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.
