Yeah Goodies!!!

In the final stages of getting my account sorted with MBT.

Just curious is it better to use MT4 or the Navigator?

Whats the general consensus?

TRO:

I've setup my account with MBT and have been trading for about a month now...

I wanted to get ACH transfers into my account, because the amount of bank charges laid against me for changing currency into my domestic currency would be HECTIC! now they are telling me I can only setup these ACH's using American banks... :(

Now my question to you is; are there banks in the USA who will give me an account and a card that I can use in my country, with awesome online banking that I can deposit money overseas (into my local account) with minimal issues and minimal charges... What can I do?

I think there would also be a tax consideration, but as I do not hold a visa or green card would this still apply to me?

I'm busy looking at setting up an offshore account, but MBT will only link to domestic banks... this makes me a little apprehensive.

Are there any other traders trading with MBT but living outside the US, that could shed some light on this matter for me, maybe giving a solution that is working for them?

Thanks Jal

MT4 for charting and Nav for placing trades.

I don't know what bank would be the best. You'll have to research online and let's us know.

I have wired to mb trading from my dutch EURO account.

nowadays it is almost impossible to get an US bank account if you are not resident in the US.

wisest is probably to shop around local:

- look for bank charges for wires in/out

I also wired from an account, which resulted in the lowest cost 2me
(vary widely by different banks)

and wires to MBT should be minimal. (unless you keep loosing and refunding :-) )

@Forexbob... so you wait for the cheques and then you cash em?

My problem is I can't stand cues and banks and having to bring all my documentation whenever I wanna change money... was hoping for an easy wire transfer... hmmm...

Yeah I've been looking into that... but I think I must be doing something wrong, cause sometimes the Navigator just places trades by itself... :shock:

And thats a little scary... I don't think I understand it properly yet...

MBT QUOTE:Wire Deposits
Typically the fastest method of funding your MB Trading account. Wire transfers are usually received the same day that they are sent by your financial institution and will post to your account the day after they are received.

- Now I don't want to fund my account... I want them to pay my winnings to me... Electronically...

How do u get paid ForexBob?
