Maybe you can offer that, yet you don't. 1. In terms of pricing, your $100k eval is on a par with FTMO and MFF (give and take $500) 2. In your program, unlike your competitors, the $500 not reimbursed 3. Leverage: I am not an advocate of ...

Yeah, I hear you. I also routinely hit +20% floating profit in a 24 hour cycle. It's like Murphy's Law, just when I have +20% floating, my wife asks me to update the family holiday photo album and I forget to close out the trades. Next thing the ...

Tim, The goal posts are being moved - I suspect based on feedback/input/remarks on this thread - by the managers of the prop firm in question. Payout cap was there 24 hours ago, it's suddenly gone. Some other aspects might all of a sudden magically ...

Well, I looked at the specs via the "Trading Platform" link their website provided. If it says USD 7 RT elsewhere on their website, fair enough. Not good enough for me though. By far. My current pay-to-play provider charges USD 3 RT / standard lot. ...

Seering eyes and itchy hands ? They use Purple Trading as broker, $ 10 comms RT / standard lot. url $ 10 ? Not in 10 years. Cost of business = triple compared to "the incumbents".

Spot on. +1. You can't fix stoopid. FTMO slave, smart guy ;-) xxxCHF, indices and Gold margin requirements are x3 what's required for the majors, which can lead to borderline situations. Screenshot of FTMO funded high risk yesterday, note the ...

Pushing it, I trade a max of 40 contracts US500.cash / $100k capital. Slippage depends, if your strategy caters for it, try to use limit orders. If you can, stay away from stop orders and trade copiers to avoid getting hammered on your fills. LuXing

Yes, I do know something. It appears to me that you're not a trader because your focus is totally off. Traders care about risk management and extracting money from the markets (or extracting $$$ from other traders if you like so). Here, I just spent ...

Today's pick: +17-ish pips. HH, retrace to the 61 fib level, I initially aimed for previous day's high but the market being slow I got out earlier.

Got the same entry, a bit earlier and lower than yours. Let's see what gives... Popcorn and audiovisual entertainment before the FED fireworks start. video

Yes, for sure cable's August low will be interesting. I have not decided yet if I will trade the breakout to the downside, or play the mean reversion game. Another 60-ish pips before it gets to this Point Of Interest. M5,. M15, H1 and some James ...

Hi Nik, Hope all's well, in spite of all those wildfire disasters. UJ's a decent setup. Entered during Asian session, took half off at +30 pips (stop was 20 pips) and trailing the remaining half down to wherever the market's taking it. Cheers, LuXing ...

This should do the job. Drop the .dll in the libraries directory. Sender/receiver in Experts. LuXing

I think you are not attempting hard enough. Not hard enough for somebody would like to setup a "trading business". Are you kidding ? You are asking FTMO for a list of long standing customers that are long term members of Forexfactory. You are asking ...

Today's only trade: GBPJPY +30 pips. At Frankfurt Open, JPY was pretty much flooring it across the board (in terms of currency strength/weakness). After the initial 20 pip push up, I waited for price to retrace to the lower EMA8 band for an entry. ...

Yes Sir, it is. Ongoing preparations for part II (overseas vs overland)... Trade safely. LuXing

Gil, There's really no reason to be on the defensive. Please correct me, but I don't think I am spreading misleading info at all. A $ 13.000 evaluation account allows "maximum buying power" of 0.65 standard lots, which works out buying or selling ...

Allowed leverage is currently 1:5. European financial supervising authorities are pretty strict and allow a maximum leverage of 1:30. Using only 30% of that, is using 1:10 leverage really unreasonable ? LuXing

It's all the same, 13k or 52k account, just multiply the thresholds by 4. On a 13k account, I need to cater for a maximum of 6 open trades. I'd say this happens once per 24h cycle, usually during the Asian session. Why 6 trades ? Well, a currency ...

Gil, With all due respect, this has nothing to do with trading style or "the way both of you are trading" as you put it. This has to do with money management, not with "low-risk trading". "At The5ers we have framed a very specific risk-policy." "Our ...
