MB Trading

Of course spreads will widen during news times, but it's only for a second, and you can get nearly instant fills with either MB or the CME.
Scott,
Have you done trades with MB immediately after the news release, or are you placing orders right before the news (straddling)? I have heard from a few traders using MB that they could not get filled at news time or they were slipped by 40 pips.
