Beanbagger Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I recently funded a TradeKing MBT account and have selected it as my data source but there are no streaming quotes and my account is still registered as free with restrictions. Please advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Z Quotes - you probably didn't subscribe to the realtime quotes for your MBT account. Restrictions - you need to use the MBT account in one of the trading windows such as the trade ticket or account view. After that, restart MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanbagger Posted January 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 I just got a message saying my premium membership was about to end because MT couldn't verify my TradeKing account. I setup a funded TradeKing account and have it as my default account in the Settings section. Please advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Just having it in the settings is not sufficient. If you don't actually open any trading window (Account View or Trade Ticket), that account is never logged in, and thus never validated. NOTE: If you are using the MBT Account for quotes, but not trading, if you get the new beta version, it will validate the account if just for quotes, without the need to open a trading window.

Beanbagger Posted January 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 So, is simply opening the "Trade Ticket" window sufficient or do I need to actually initiate a stock trade in order to validate my account? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 that is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
