Your running tasks on MT are probably CPU heavy. Think about an appropriate upgrade. Other approach may be optimizing MQL code. Do you really need recalculations on every tick on all of the time frames? Maybe on the bigger frames you can use less frequent updates?

{quote} Thanks for your comment. Yes, it’s been a long time. I know all these YouTubers but it personally doesn’t help me in any way. It‘s more confusing/distracting watching these than anything else. Information overload by people but none of them show you how to reach x goal in a systematic way risking x. Discretionary trading is not for me. I have clear goals that i want to reach but somehow I can’t find any effective help. Only dreamers, gamblers or wannabe pros who claim everything but can’t even show you a 2 years track record how they were...

i would say, its less than 1% who do trading as main source (and have no gambling approach), maybe 0,1 % or less (investing is more percentage as main source). to many Crypto and forex gamblers.
when you see how many do trading (even people who do it long time and know math), you will not believe it. hedging and martingale is so often used, unbelievable after so many free education possible.
i would say 99% about trading what you see in Instagram and YouTube is complete worthless/wrong , fake or scam. often the best you get is people who read something in a book and repeat it without understanding it, mixed in many wrong facts.

Aaaaw, trading is your hobby and so is being here to make yourself feel better by telling us that you were this or that or making money. Well, then spend your money and try looking for another hobby, far, far awaaaay from here. We don’t need you here. You are so passé desperately trying to be important and seeking validation in a forum. Tsss.

Several rumors circulating that Smart Prop Trader is not paying for 2 or 3 weeks now and that Blake is trying to sell it. Another artist going down.

What bothers me in all this is that these guys all go down very rich and with no jail time.

same like all the scams and ponzi scheme in crypto meme coins, copy trading with own broker,..... and so much more. thats why so much exist of this.
wait until more pay in then you have to pay out, and when it switched to have to pay out more then pay in you let it bust and die - always same.

yes, exactly...... there is a well founded reason for it.....

like you mentioned, each timeframe is updated only on it's new bar with the exception of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 minute..... they are updated on tick, which is a bit of overkill when looking at so many symbols and so many indicators..... but again, there is a well founded reason for it.....

Fine, you talk me into it, I am staying and carrying my message that "only losers bitch and moan". You will get it some day(nice of me to say that) or will not.

{quote} Congrats! 2.0 is great. You did it the right way. Means you won't have any issue having enough leverage going forward. Unlike me, at 0.19, I'm running around like a castrated bull ready to hump anything that moves but I'm impotent. YOLOing to get to that 75 rating and the first allocation is a huge mistake. Once you're put in risk reduction prison you're stuck in a subscription model with no way of knowing when or IF you'll ever get any leverage back.

Well, we will see tomorrow. I am just assuming they applied a positive risk factor bassed on what the dash shows vs. my actual results. If I see a risk facot under 1 tomorrow, then based on both your and my results, I will have no idea how to trade with them.

I think it will be like this tomorrow , you did very well. But you can play with the risk factor yourself once in silver because it changes as you trade daily.
I had to reset my first account because it went above 10% DD and don't want to drag it out too much, but also changed my aproach from last time where I started slow and low and then increased the risk. This time I went full on from the start and lowered later....with 4 accounts and different strategies (95% strategy match rule), all have similar results because the risk aproach was the same (with the purpose to speed up the process because reset is peanuts anyway):

Depending on the stats in silver, I will then trade a bit higher risk on 1 or 2 out of four and reevaluate the risk on the go. The goal is to get to 20% in 6-8 months so dropping risk with time eliminates the stress and risk engine factor goes up, it makes sense to restart up to third month. It still takes less then a year and less then 500 per account to Gold status.

It is not only for US this way, because trading conditions are much worse then my own broker, I would be losing at least 1k per month in spread and comission, so no go trading Darwinex Live for me. But I absolutly love adding D-Zero as an additional income to my trading.

I was following your Index and noticed you had a rough June. How low did your risk factor go? Also, how do you get 4 accounts?

{quote} There are lots of working systems. With more than years of published result. Look at "Waka Waka EA" and "boring pips"
Not sure about the commercial EAs you can buy for the MetaTrader platform. If these are so great why people are selling them for a few hundreds/thousands?

I would also need to find something that is allowed to be used with a prop trading company as i don‘t have enough capital or even want to risk it. Trading with scared money would probably only lead to even more pressure.

So even if i would finally find something working for me to average a small percentage monthly return, it would have to be allowed with such firm. I believe In case of the „waka waka ea“ there was some YouTuber who used it with FTMO and got banned in the end.

It was over from me from 2 perspectives yes, DD was over -10% which ment I would have to make 25% for gold status and second was my risk engine factor went down from 0.3 to 0.16 and I was in swing trade which ment I had not enough margin for my normal intraday scalping indices that have lower leverage at D-Zero. This was my mistake. Now I divided the same swing trade to 4 accounts (uses minimal margin) and scalp 4 different indices at 4 different accounts separately.

For 4 accounts you need to sign up with 4 different emails- it is the only way and can be done- confirmed with email to support.

Thanks for the response. I might just do another account and trade exactly 1-2 lots with the same risk reward every single trade and see where that goes.

Keep us posted. Good Luck!

I'm surprised they haven't contacted me about being a DZero "influencer". I sent my portfolio pic to them just in case. I told them I only buy American made so I couldn't send a Lambo pic.

Don't forget the 95% strategy match rule- If Darwin's strategy matches 95% or more, then only one gets funding- the one with higher % gain. You need to diversify to get funded on more then one. Prevents copy trading.

Yes, I did this with two. One for futures and one for forex. I am considering getting 2 more for futures, and then trading DOW, NAS and S&P on 3 different accounts. Curious as to wheteher that would violate the 95% corelation rule, I'm thinking not as it's 3 separate instruments????
