Hi Stan,

It's still not compatible with MB Desktop Pro. The message is "You are using an obsolete version of MB Trading. Please upgrade." My version of MB Desktop Pro is dated 1/2/2011.

Thanks.

Hi Jim,

I've got the same error after upgrading MCDT to 7.0.66.400. After removing Desktop Pro and installing Desktop Release Candidate 11.8.0.36 (from http://www.mbtrading.com/mbtdesktop.aspx) it worked correctly.

Regards,
Josh

Hi Josh,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, it works with the MB Desktop, but unfortunately not with the MB Desktop Pro.

However, I don't see why anyone would want to have Desktop when they can have Desktop Pro? Multicharts DT is still full of bugs, and until it's stable enough, I do not trust it enough to use for my actual trading. Because it is now not compatible with the Desktop Pro, I cannot even use the Multicharts DT on my demo account. Previous versions of DT works with the Desktop Pro but not the latest release.

Don't get me wrong, I think the Multicharts DT is a potentially wonderful product, and would not hesitate to use it once the bugs have been cleaned out.

I haven't experienced any real bugs with MultiCharts DT, but perhaps I'm not using the features you use, haven't tested enough or I just got lucky so far. :) What kind of bugs did you experience?

I would rather use the Desktop version than the Desktop Pro version, since the latter hasn't been updated by MB Trading since February of this year. I wouldn't trust my trading with such an "old" version when the Desktop version got updated last month (with the assumption that the latest Desktop version is 'better' and more stable, which can be a big assumption with computer software ;) ).

Regards,
Josh
