GTC order that will include pre and after market trading

Wed, 18 Aug 2010 20:37:52 GMT

I could not find a way to have A limit order to be active during all trading times, be it pre market, trading and after market hours.
My request would be to implement an order of type limit that will be active for any trading time.
Of course it is expected that such an order will be a GTC order. Such an order should be possible to initiate any time, not just during normal trading hours.
I am aware that other trading platforms provide such an option.

Show Login and Password fields on first page of mbtrading.com

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 17:03:14 GMT

Currently, it takes one extra click to get into the login page on mbtrading.com. Add the verify PIN page and another click to get to Penson, there are just too many steps to access Account Management.

Suggestion: Float (hidden div?) or place login and password fields on the first page of mbtrading.com to speed up the login process.

I understand the transition from http to https for security, but there are ways to work around that (see other sites eg. hotmail, TD Ameritrade etc).

Apple/Mac compatibility

II suggest the trading platform be available for apple/mac users, that aren't running bootcamp or parallels.

Night before order entry

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 15:12:23 GMT

I often know by 9 PM the previous day what I want to order the following AM. I'd like to be able to do it then instead of between 8:30 and 9:30 the following AM, assuming I have the cash for it.

Add columns for Yesterday's Value/Current Value for each stock position.

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 23:24:47 GMT

There is no way to view the value of my current holdings in the Position Window. Suggest addition of Yesterday's Value and Current Value columns ( # of shares * price ) in the Position window.

Direct Order Entry for Pink sheets and OTCBB stocks

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 23:24:47 GMT

Currently, MB Trading requires users to call trading desk for purchase of many OTCBB, Pink sheets stocks. This used to work differently. As long as customers have sufficient cash/purchasing power, direct purchase order entry of OTC/Pinksheets stock should be supported.

Schedule-D report generation or free Gainskeeper integration for tax f

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 15:58:02 GMT

Facilitate free generation of Schedule-D reports (that take care of wash-sales as well) for tax filing purpose. This is what TD Ameritrade provides. For detailed requirements, have a look at TDA's implementation. Currently Penson has a Profit/Loss link but this is clunky and could be improved upon.

Profit and Loss Statements

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 22:03:11 GMT

I would like to see in the P&L an area that shows price bought at, price sold at and then the profit or loss, so that I don't have to go in and do the math.

Ameritrade has a simple format. If that could be followed, that would be great.

Sun, 06 Sep 2009 16:06:46 GMT

Next to US and Canadian securities it would be good to access other markets (Europe, Asia) too.

Electronic trading of Canadian securities

Sat, 05 Sep 2009 12:13:18 GMT

Direct-access, electronic trading (via MBT Navigator) of Canadian securities dealt in:
- Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE)
- TSX Venture Exchange (CVE).

Commissions should be adequate for the type of securities traded. Let's say:
- CAD $0.01 per share (stocks >= CAD $1.00)
- 0.5% of trade value (penny stocks < CAD $1.00)
