I've decided to close my MB Trading account after 3 years. Two events have brought me to this decision: 1. Last Sunday I was unable to place any trades until about 2 hours after the normal opening of the FX markets. They told me it was a lack of ...

You can always use MTPM for that. Its one of the most useful EAs on FF and much under estimated.

Since they started to Pay for Limit orders I've never been out of credit on my MBT Commission balance which is nice. I use NT7 and their SuperDOM to place my trades and the combination works very well. Its a shame they dont trade for the first 5 ...

MBT or Pfgbest?

I think that's an important point. Whilst Egypt isnt that important, its the whole momentum for change that seems to be gaining in the Arab world. This will effect the oil price and as we know, the oil price affects everything in the west.

For what its worth COT data seems to show that they are short EU, medium term

Dont forget NFP in an hour or so, so insiders will be setting themselves up.

Thanks. I've been involved one way or another with VSA since I met Tom in 1993, so I do know a fair bit about it. That's not the issue. I really wondered if anyone had done any analysis separating buyer/seller initiated volume, rather than just ...

No

vsa with Malcolm

As I think I've mentioned elsewhere, I've been a fan of VSA for a number of years but over that time have seen the concept fail on numerous ocassions. Often its because the volume data is rubbish, like you get with MT4 but also because Volume per se ...

Order Flow - Finding cluster of stops on chart

For what its worth I have to agree with scooby-doo. I suspect when the markets are moving as they are at the moment people will make steady and small profits but then the pairs will re-align themselves and all the previous profits will be blown in ...

Going Home - a multi-pair auto-trader for Dreamliner's strategy, by Steve Hopwood

Well I must say I'm liking the new 'Pay for Limits' they've introduced today. My Balances page now shows I'm in credit for my Gross Commissions rather than debit. This could make a big difference to traders like me who never take a market price. ...

Still not accepting trades 1 hour after the FX open.....Hopeless....Placed the trades on my LMAX account....

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

That's what you call sod's law. Just after I extolled the virtues of MB, I now find that their markets are still not open 45 mins after the opening generally available elsewhere. They tell me its because of a lack of liquidity....

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

I've used NT for a long time and like it a lot. They have good customer service and the VPA (VSA) indicators that have been written and available free, are great.

vsa with Malcolm

The sooner the better too. However, I suspect its not quite as simple as that and the MMBs will do some neat side steps to pretend they are ECNs. There is major money to be made out there so they're not going to give it up without a fight. We need ...
