Spot forex is unregulated and decentralized, it means every broker has their own price. You cannot use the feed from broker A or feed A to trade broker B.
If you don't want to use MB Trading's data, then you shouldn't trade with them. I know that Sierra Chart supports FXCM and IB.

I used the MBT Platform. I no longer trade with MBT, I had too many problems. Went back to IB for spot.
Keep in mind, I am not a scalper .

What problems did you have? Were they execution/data/software related?
