Spread for Drain the Banks
What's your broker? I use FxPro, they have tight spreads (1.6 or under for EUR/USD, USD/JPY and usually 3-4 for Eur/CHF). I would leave the settings at 5 pips, FxPro and others have variable spreads and you might find higher spreads sometime.
For scalping, FxPro is doing good for me (no quotes error and good execution), probably Alpari (this what i've listened) is very good too for spreads.

One known problem with Alpari (and many other MT4 brokers)
is limitation on pending limit orders' price: your limit price must be
3-5-10-20 pips away (broker-dependand) from current market price.
For example, for quick scalp entry within 1-10 pips from current price
you maybe not even able to enter limit order at 1.330,
if current price is 1.300 - try and see for yourself.
You can enter at market price, of course - but entering at market
with 1.5 pips spread broker - could be virtually 1-2 pips worse
(1pip spread difference + 0.5pip slippage),
as compared with ECN MBT - where EURUSD spread could be
as low, as 0.5 pips and no much slippage on limit order
MBT MT4 hasn't this limitation (it seems to be the only one
with 0 allowed difference between prices),
but you cannot trade for real money from their MT4 yet.

Drain the Banks for TradeStation
HI:
Is there a way to use this on TradeStation? I checked the TS motherlode and downloads and didn't see anything.
Thanks!

Wow, I was not aware of this. Of course I am still on the Demo Account.
Does anyone know when MBT is going to allow trading with real money?

Avery doesnt code much TS anymore. You wouldnt find it in the motherloads. If you want to join the party, you will probably need to add Metatrader 4 and learn mql4. I am a tradestation user and know a little easylanguage. mql4 is not that difficult.

Exact date of MBT MT4 going live is not known yet, there speculation - it
could happen by the end of this year.
I won't trade real via their MT4 for 2 reasons:
1) Their demo MT4 platform is quite buggy and I won't expect real one
to be perfect (in first year - at least)
2) Trading via MT4 has its own limitations
So I'm watching the charts/indicators via MBT MT4
(exact flavour of MT4 doesn't make much difference then -
I have 2 others running: Alpari, InterbankFX)
and placing the trades via MBT Navigator.
By the way, TRO himself is using Alpari MT4 for charts/indicators
and MBT Navigator for Forex trades -
why not learn from the best.

Just tried and got 5 pips on usdjpy just by waiting ok to buy !!!
Is it the signal I have to wait to trade ?
If yes, have you an indicators showing a popup for pairs with clear signal (ok to buy or ok to short)
Regards,
Sorry--am new to the forum--when you talk about the trigger levels -are you refering to the dyn support and resistance levels--cause there are a lot of lines on the chart(lol)--gets confusing sometimes--maybe a chart example would simplify it----this is to anyone in the forum
thanks
The trigger prices are right on the chart in the upper left hand corner. They are COLOR CODED.

I either use 5 or 10 depending on market conditions.
