 It would be great if extended hour data were available for charts at all times. So if I request a chart in the middle of the day for a symbol, I would like to be able to see it's pre-market activity.  Also, I may want to see activity from last night in the after-hours.  Please make extended hours an option.  When this option is checked, you would see all pre-market and after-market activity.

It is difficult for developers to find things on the MBT website. On the home page there is a link for Developers - which is good. When you get there, you need to choose the small menu item "MBT SDK". This page is the problem. On this page, there are links for "Register for MBT SDK" and "Join SDK Forums". This is good if you are a new developer. If you are a returning developer, it is difficult to find what you are looking for. When you click "Register for MBT SDK", there is a section of the page on the left to register. This is good. But the problem is, this is also where all the stuff developers need is located. And it's not immediately apparent where it is. To get to the sample files, you need to click "Developer Notes". This is no good. As a returning developer, I would not think to click on "Register for MBT SDK" to find this stuff. Please make the link for "Register for MBT SDK" only about registering. Please put the other stuff right on the main "MBT SDK" page. For example (this is the content from "Register" page, with some editorial changes): Welcome to the Navigator SDK! Simply install the retail Navigator and immediately begin coding your own strategies using the power of the individual Navigator OCX controls and COM objects. Use any Microsoft COM-compatible development environment from Visual Studio version 6 up, including VBA in Excel. Here are some sample programs <link here> to get you going. Here is the Help file <link here> describing all the objects and their properties and methods. Here are some Developer Notes<link here>. Here are Release Notes <link here> for the latest version. read more...

The CME information on the requirements for the CME Globex market data fee-waiver are shown in the link below. MB Trading clients who have a funded MB Trading account that is approved for futures trading should meet the requirements if your clients are trading through a MB Trading order entry system or platform with only access to the Globex data for the  electronically traded products. Please make this market data fee-waiver available to MB Trading futures trading clients.

Please see the following link for verification from CME's own product documentation (pdf, page 21, right side, paragraph 2). Or look at the attachment, same page references.
http://www.cmegroup.com/globex/files/GlobexRefGd.pdf

"There are certain criteria that must be met to qualify for a CME Globex market data fee-waiver. The main three criteria are that a user/device must only be accessing market data for electronically traded products from CME Globex, the user/device is capable
of routing orders to CME Globex, and the user has a capitalized futures account capable of trading CME Group’s or Participating Exchange’s products."

 ARCA works since 4 AM, INET works since 7 AM. Why MBT nav starts to plot premarket trades ("All sessions" turned on) only since 8 AM? A lot of news and earining releases happen before 8 AM. It would be nice if in future versions MBT Nav displayed all premarket trades starting 4 AM.

I use desktopPro for forex trading. The charts datafeed suddenly stops at 4pm EST on a Friday but trading ends at 5pm EST.  There is still much forex action between 4 and 5pm EST.  Can we please have the datastream to charts until the market closes on a Friday otherwise we miss out on some great short term trades. read more...

When you have the Pegged order type selected, the order line floats at bid with the proposed text on the order line.

When you submit an order, you get an order line that is in the same position that has the actual details of your order.  So you have 2 lines of text floating over the other and you can't read either of them.

Not sure I can suggest a solution, just something I saw.

Also, I noticed that if I click on the floating order line it changes to a thicker dotted line. Why is this?

Are there plans to add a preference to be able to affect the properties of the floating order entry line?

 Please increase the number of ticks that are allowed to load.  Right now, you get about 5000.  on a 100t chart, that only fills about a third of the window.

When I use spin increments, it only goes as low as a pip.  If I set it to .1 in order entry, it just goes to 0.  Since MBT lets users place orders in between the pips, the spin increments should also be able to be set below 1 pip. read more...

I love the chart trading feature... please also allow for moving open orders directly on the chart, I simply click and drag the line to move it... this would make the platform absolutely killer.  Also put an "X" on the line to cancel that open order read more...

When I have order entry pane visible, please stop the chart from moving when I try to move orderline using up down arrow keys.

The only way to make it so it doesn't move the chart, but instead moves the order line, is to click on the "limit price" in the order entry pane, and then the arrow keys move the order line....

if I need to click on the chart again, it stops working but instead stops autoscaling the chart and moves it around in space.

if order entry is open, please disable this chart moving thing and enable orderline moving for active chart window with arrow keys regardless of whether i click in the middle of the chart, or somewhere in order entry pane.  

Together with the fact that the orderline disappears when symbol changes (toggling order entry pane brings it back) is extremely annoying.  Because not only do I have to right click and toggle order entry pane, but i then have to click on the limit price again to get the arrow keys to move the orderline and not the chart!

1.  Please make the TTO settings in order preferences apply to all stop related orders.  

For example, I choose limit + market stop, and then I go and put in my limit,  I also have to change the stop.  The stop should offset by the amount in the Order Preferences.  Currently these only work for TTO orders.


2.  On all orders that have the TTO popup box, please add an option within the TTO popup box that says whether each one is market, or limit..

I want to enter a trade and use TTO as target and stop loss, and the target  be on the ECN as a limit order, whereas the stoploss be marketable once hit.

I wish there was an easier way to scroll back in time through charts.  Sometimes I use thin charts to see the price movement in greater detail.  To scroll back in time requires clicking a dragging the chart to the right.  This can be very cumbersome.  Also, it sometimes causes NavPro to freeze in which case you need to shut down and restart.  Please consider a keybaord short cut to scroll back (and forth) one horizontal page at at time. read more...

Hi,

I made this suggestion in the MB Trading API forum, but I don't see it, so I assume the moderator may have vetoed it.  Anyway, I was encouraged to put the suggestion here, so that those "up to the CEO" could read it !!

This is an important issue for API developers, those using the SDK to automate access to MB Trading's systems.

LOGIN CONFLICT

The simple default situation involves a single set of credentials:  user1234/password5678

Using your Desktop software, you cannot log in twice.  Well, probably no one wants to log in twice with the Desktop software, and that's not normally the real issue.

THE ISSUE is that software which logs in using the API (aka SDK) will not be allowed to do so with the same credentials.  The credentials are in Conflict, and if the API software uses those credentials, I think the Desktop will be forcibly LOGGED OUT.  I think if the API got in first with the credentials, that a Desktop login would forcibly disconnect the API connection.

In simple terms, any login with the credentials "burns up" a login slot, and no other login can take place concurrently.

(For the moment, let's set aside the possibility of paying for additional logins, which is a hassle and which doesn't really address the issue very well anyway.)

I PROPOSE THAT users who use the API are given login credentials which are NON-CONFLICTING with other logins.  So they are identified as a different type of login.

Also, I propose that a small number of these NON-CONFLICTING CONCURRENT "API" logins be permitted when the API is being used.

Credentials issued for API logins would need to be identified as such, as distinct from "human" client logins, and would NOT CONFLICT with a "human" login.  So there would be two CATEGORIES of login credentials:  "human" and "api or automated".

Given the ability to classifiy the login by type, then MB could implement different policies for "human" vs "automated" logins to their systems.

I'd propose the policy be something like this, and there are several possible ways of doing this.  I'll put the BEST option first, and then mention oth

Is there an order type that is a limit order but allowed to ride the ask up to a certain point? For example, if I want to buy 100 shares of XYZ and the current ask is $10.10. I can place a limit order to buy at $10.10. The bid/ask may be moving very fast and the order does not get filled and the ask moves up to $10.20. I would like to have my limit order be able to move up to $10.20. I do not want to place a market order. I would like it to be a limit order, but have the capacity to move up along with the ask up to a certain point.

Thanks. read more...
