Did I miss something?

Only on their own platform so far. They also treat max number of contracts as equal between minis and micros instead of 10:1, also unless using their own platform. I think they are encouraging people to use their own platform instead of NinjaTrader, ...

"Hi Aaron, Apologies sir. But these rules are made to ensure more sustainability in the business model." No doubt.

So, I emailed support and said, "Many people use automated trailing stops. I'm not aware of them having a two minute timer. This is not a good rule." Their reply was: "The 2 minutes rule affects only funded accounts Aaron. And if you have a pre-set ...

So no automated trailing stop or ATM strategies for the first two minutes. That's stupidly ridiculous. There's not a single trailing stop or ATM strategy I'm aware of that has a two minute timer on it. Prop firms just keep inventing new ways to ...

There have been many emails shared with these facts after being funded. I'm not currently in any Forex prop firm Telegram and Discord groups anymore to dig them up, having been forced into futures instead. But you can find them. One was just shared ...

Cumulative floating loss and maximum daily loss aren’t the same thing. They don’t want more than 1% risk in open trades at once essentially. You can still lose 5x in a day on 5 different trade ideas if each had a cumulative 1% risk (regardless how ...

Yeah, FTMO has often reduced overall risk % or leverage to reduce exposure on funded traders. They don't care if you use 1:100 leverage on the evals, but they don't like more than 1:5 or so on funded accounts. It's not written anywhere to my ...

It's not written on their website, other than their suggestion in their tips on their blog: url However, they have frequently enforced this on funded accounts, just not on evals. They can enforce any rule they want to impose on you.

No, they won't allow that. They consider all open trades on the same symbol or correlated symbols to be a single trade idea and thus limited to 1% risk combined. There are terms in their agreement that they can change the terms at any time per ...

They've been pulling that foolishness on their website for a few years now, long before they released a 64-bit version of MT4. You have to get the latest MT4 installer from your broker instead. MetaQuotes has been doing a "bait and switch" on their ...

They actually did convert MT4 to 64-bit last year. 32-bit installers stopped working on January 1, 2024.

This topic has been beat to death, and pretty off-topic for this group, so I won't voice my personal opinion. However, for those that have been following this for years, this is a recent peer-reviewed research paper you should read, or at least the ...

You can't. That's one of the big downsides of MQL5's VPS vs. a true VPS where you have a full Windows environment you can remote into with a separate MT4 instance. On the plus side, if you bought an EA from their marketplace, their VPS won't ding ...

I haven't found something similar for Tradovate yet to get a real time number.

They told everyone to stop trading Tradovate yesterday, so I closed a trade at a small loss and waited most of the day. They had reset my account back to Sunday night later.

Me too, although some said Tradovate was down before they locked down the Discord group and wouldn't allow any comments. I haven't had any issues with Tradovate this morning, except one on-going problem with Trading View (been happening for weeks ...

APEX is down again this morning. So is Schwab and ThinkOrSwim. All about the same time. Screenshot from downdetector.com

Well, my email started showing up in a bunch of things in the past week and a half, including haveibeenpwned. But, of course, that could have been from anywhere, so that doesn't necessarily prove the source was ACG. Still, the timing makes me ...

Also this, waiting to hear any official response to it:
