Spreads — You guys have been beating HotSpot on spreads throughout this mess, and especially so today, when you'd think liquidity would have done some improving all around. Cheers MB!

Been away from the forums for a bit... guess I haven't had the taste for roasted troll in a while. I have to say in just catching up on the last few pages of this thread, I'm astounded at how entirely unmanaged the FF forums have become. Remember ...

lol if u say so Discretionary trading is death.

Accuracy vs. net profit

I'm just trying to talk tech regarding mech trading... I don't need any help with my comfort. I do believe I've since come across another forum with mech FX traders though, so this will satisfy my desire to talk shop

Accuracy vs. net profit

In addition to what shrike said, you have to also add the HotSpot feed on top of the general feed you already have. It's an extra few bucks a month.

Hey Justin, any chance of being able to do spot metals out of my FX account any time in the near future?

Well well well, you've really changed your tune there 42. Glad to see it, but why the change of heart?

Lemme give this one more bump, then I'm going to delete it from subscriptions. Any mechanical traders want to talk shop?

Forgot to press the "hide banks" button! ROFL! Man what can I say. I love the internetz

I think the traders should be held 100% responsible IMO, but that it should be handled with technology. My view is that a margin call is made when either a trader has grossly mismanaged their account, or when something catastrophic and unexpected ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Yes you REALLY are. That was my EXIT, smart guy, not the entrance into a position. Didn't you see it was a limit sale? If it was a limit BUY, it could NOT have been filled above the limit price. Since it was a limit SELL, that means I am willing to ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Don't be a smart ass Justin. All types of trading make margin calls on accounts, which I assume you know. I've never heard of a securities broker calling customers about their positions. I'm not sure why you would either. If a trader is not managing ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

That's what I thought was the case, but was confused by your convo with Dahila @ post 1681 or so. Unless you are talking total disconnect to the order desk and all systems (including your systems responsible for making the margin call), I don't see ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Mr. 42, it seems you are very confused and distressed. If I place a limit order, which is the the target I have determined beforehand that I desire for a particular trade, I cannot be filled below my target. That's the limit part of the order. If ...

Dude, slip me 20 pips in my favor 3 seconds after I place an order ANY time. My target was protected by the limit order. Anything above is just gravy. So it sounds like you've qualified for #1 of my list. How about #2?

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

RTFM lolz. Yeah I'ts been a while since I read that. Justin made some recent comments that made it sound otherwise when somebody was asking about your account going into debt. I'd like him to explain that. Thanks.

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Yo, so I'm a credit where credit is due, no nonsense kind of dude. When I don't like something, I say so. When I think something rocks, I speak right up about that too. I just got a fill 7 seconds after the NFP that was 20 PIPS BETTER than the LIMIT ...

Justin, margin calls in FX trading, or no? Thanks.

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

I though MB would make margin calls on FX accounts, just like on any other type of trading account. Is that not the case?
