One trader is doing so, I think it might be Italian? Though it is not currently supported for FX trading. If you trade other instruments via MB / EFX this is currently supported. Full FX trading for MB / EFX in Ninjatrader is in beta last I heard.

I do not trade minis, so maybe that is what happened. I know I would be bent if a market order sat for 2 minutes myself though. If it was the banks not filling a micro, that would also mean there were no traders making an opposite trade at that time ...

I was also concerned about what happens during maintenance time, so I asked in detail before opening an account. My scenario was not so much about an automated rule. I was asking: what if I wanted to exit a position during maintenance time? I was ...

Reeealy now. So they are closing your positions at midnight you claim? Well that's a new one. I'll leave you to Justin. (and no I don't work for EFX, I work for MEEEE! )

It would be cool if you all activated the 24 hour support, even if the NFA continues to drag their feet. I know you were hoping to hook it all in with the new website, but just a suggestion.

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

The reason I've raised the point, is that if the NFA is shoved about by heavy lobbying as it seems is the suggestion by fxchant, and regulatory control is handed over to the CFTC (which I don't think anyone would say is shoved around by any industry ...

Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

Mmmmkay, but you didn't really answer my question....

Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

I tend to agree with you on many points fxchant, but if you're right about the above, the NFA's recent move is hard to understand. If they are proposing turing over governance to the CFTC... doesn't that put the NFA out of business?
