One of the worst Broker you can deal with.
I have Roth-IRA equity account , Before applying for futures account they never mentioned about custodian thing. After account approved they said I have to go through millinium trust custodian[one of the most expensive]. I advise stay away from this broker. Remember Mbtrading bought wizetrade. What more reference can I give. I am switching to TDA or IB.

Good company - but platform is worse than useless!
MBTrading are one of the few retail brokerages you should consider, however their platform is worse than useless.
Seriously, I would prefer to chew crushed glass all day than use their software.
So brokerage 9/10, platform 0/10.

great platform for forex trading
I like the flexibility they offer with their Desktop Pro platform in terms of orders and order routing, but it does take time to understand and get used to it. Once you do, it's worth it. In general, their spreads are tight and MB has always been straightforward in the way they do business. After all, it helps them to help those of us who are traders using their services. And in terms of customer service, I've had good experiences (no major issues). I think the accolades they get, in particular from Barron's almost every year, are well deserved.

Believe the hype!
I heard the buzz about MB Trading's "Pay for Limits" and was cautious at first, wondering if it was a gimmick. After 6 weeks of trading under the guidelines to qualify for the rebates, I have received just over $3000. I trade Forex full time and as long as this program remains in place (MBT says that it will), it looks like I will stay ahead of the game seeing as my rebates cover my commission costs.

MBT GOOD?
I have a live acount with MBT. After reading so many good reviews about MB Trading I decided to give them a try, I been with them now for a cupple of months. I can only state that the good reviews must be written by people that don't really know what they are talking about, or supporters of MBT, or maybe long term traders who doesn't understand the value of fast executions.
I have been very disapointed with MBT, mostly because of my trading style, I like to say that other traders might not have these issues.
First the bad things:
A very laggy execution, sometimes up to 5 seconds! Since I am a scalper this is killing my trades, and I had to give up scalping all together. Note: longer term traders won't have this problem, so maybe the good reviews comes from them?
The MT4 platform is really buggy, I cannot understand how they can let people trade with this junk, requotes after requotes, and messages such as: "trade desk is busy" and more. Did I mention unbeliavable slow executions? We are talking some serious liquidity problems here, and very poorly programming of the MT4 software.
Sometimes you cannot close your trades in the MT4 platform so you have to call them by phone, very anoying and expensive since I live in europe. And the worst thing, the trade is running against you. and you can't close it. Note: this is only the MT4, the other platform is better and they really made a lot of effort to make a good platform, but it takes some time to learn it, and it too suffers from slow executions. The other bad thing is very expensive rollovers.
The support is ok, sometimes slow but for the most time they are acceptable, the live chat is really nice but they can't help you with everything, like if the trade is running against you, they can't close it, you have to call them by phone, they should fix this.
Another thing that is very anoying is that they reboot their servers all the time, usually at least 2 times a day, under this period your open trades are unaccessable and it has happend that stoplosses are not prooperly executed because of this since it sometime cause a gap in price so the stoploss is technically jumped over. very anoying I HATE IT! these stops last about 5-6 minutes but it is not unusual that this period sometime is extended, especially during rollovers.
The good things are:
They don't mess with your trades or trade against you since they are ECN. And fast withdraws and deposits, just about 1 day from europe both ways, impressive! I do hope they can add credit card transfers, that would be so much easier. And they have very nice spreads, they are not the best but very good.
Conclusion, is MBT as good as everyone is saying? Hardly!, they could be very good if they added some more liquidity providers, as for now I doubt they have more than 1 bank. If you are a scalper then you will not be a happy customer at MBT. For longer term traders, they are good but stay far away from their MT4.

MB Trading is the Best in the Business
MB Trading is BY FAR the best ECN Broker I have traded with. They have the tightest spreads I have seen, great customer support, and super low commissions - especially since they introduced their 'Pay For Limits' rebate program. I am very happy with MBT and I will continue to do business with and recommend them.
