I want to know if any one has tried charting with sierra charts on the default forex feed and trading form MB trading.

Mb trading platform is not that good and has limited drawing tools as i am a :

Swing Trader and need best possible Charting to Analyse marksts.
I trade E-Waves and price action.

Has any one tried this combination so far or any other combination world be a great help

for now i use ninja trader for charting and It is good but not a great platfrom for my style.

Thanks in advance.
Lawrence

Spot forex is unregulated and decentralized, it means every broker has their own price. You cannot use the feed from broker A or feed A to trade broker B.

If you don't want to use MB Trading's data, then you shouldn't trade with them. I know that Sierra Chart supports FXCM and IB.

I used the MBT Platform. I no longer trade with MBT, I had too many problems. Went back to IB for spot.

Keep in mind, I am not a scalper.

What problems did you have? Were they execution/data/software related?
