<< Does anybody here use MB Trading that can comment on their system reliability, customer support, executions, etc? >> Wayne, MB Trading suffers from all of the problems of any internet broker. They have just upgraded to a T3 on Alternet and I believe have either upgraded or are about to upgrade to a T3 on MCI. They also have multiple T1 feeds with IBM's network, etc. Executions can be as little as a couple of seconds on SOES, longer on ARCA. In many ways, you are assuming the broker's functions by placing and watching your own orders, so the software and procedures can be a little overwhelming at first. If you have mIRC on your computer, you can join their technical support channel #MBTRADING (in CAPS) and watch the problems being handled. If anyone asks if you are a client, just say you are thinking about opening an account. Yes, they have glitches, but in my opinion, they handle them pretty well. Just call me a satisfied client. John aka snowman99 or snowman88 on mIRC PS - I am sure others will add their comments ... You could also ask on the MB Trading SI thread.
