Goal

After you complete this tutorial, NeoTicker® can send orders to MB Trading.

Step 1: Installing and Configuring MBT Navigator

You will need to install MB Trading's MBT Navigator in order for NeoTicker® to place order to MB Trading.

1. Go to MB Trading Website.
2. In MB Trading's website, go to Trading system>MBT Navigator>Download.
3. Press the Download button to download MBT Navigator installation program to your hard drive.
4. Install MBT Navigator.

Step 2: Obtaining MB Trading Demo Account

You should obtain an MB Trading demo account even if you are an MB Trading client. The demo account lets you test NeoTicker® ordering features without using a real trading account.

To obtain an demo account:

1. Go to MB Trading Website.
2. In MB Trading's website, go to Trading System>MBT Navigator>Demo Account.
3. Fill in the form and MB Trading will email you your user name and password.
4. Check your email.

Step 3: Installing NT Order Server for MB Trading

You can download NT Order Server for MB from one of the locations below:

Location 1: Full/lease version users can download NT Order Server in NeoTicker® Customer Area, under the section Download Order Server Plugins.

Location 2: All users can download NT Order Server in NeoTicker® Download Demo page, under the section Download Order Server Plugins.

After you download, run the program to install NT Order Server.

NT Order Server must reside in the OrderApp directory in NeoTicker® installation. If you installed NeoTicker® in a customized location, make sure NT Order Server is installed in the OrderApp directory.

Step 4: Configuring NeoTicker® to Place Orders to MB Trading

This step configures NeoTicker® to send the orders to NT Order Server.

1. Open NeoTicker®.
2. In main window, choose Order>Order Interface Setup to open Order Interface Setup dialog.
3. In Order Interface Setup dialog, under Connection tab, choose ActiveX Broker Interface.
4. In the drop down menu, choose MB Trading.
5. Under Options, enable Auto Reconnect ActiveX B/I.
6. Press OK button.
7. NeoTicker® will launch an agreement dialog on the terms of using NeoTicker® to place orders.
8. Read the conditions carefully. If you agree, check the agreements and press Continue.
9. NeoTicker® will launch NT Order Server. NT Order Server will connect to MB Trading. MBT Navigator Login will appear.

   

10. Enter demo account user name and password.

NeoTicker® is now configured to send orders to MB Trading.

In the next NeoTicker® session, NeoTicker® will auto launch MBT Navigator.

Step 5: Testing

This is a simple test of sending orders from NeoTicker® to MBT Navigator. You should always use the demo account for testing.

1. If you are not using a demo account with MBT Navigator, exit NeoTicker®. Then restart NeoTicker®. Enter a demo account user name and password to login to MBT Navigator.
2. In NeoTicker®, choose Order>Simple Order Entry to open an order entry form.

   

3. Enter a symbol (e.g. MSFT).

   Because you are using the demo account, you only have a limited number of symbols to work with. See MB Trading Demo Symbols.

4. Enter number of shares/contracts you want to trade, then press BUY at Market.
5. Account Manager will be open. Press Send under Confirm to send the order.

   

6. In the order entry form, you can see the status of the order returned at the bottom.

   

7. Order status and position information is also available in Account Manager, under the Processed Orders and Positions tabs.
