{quote} Seems like a lot of traders are having issues lately with the change from strong 2 1/2 mo bull trend (buy the dip long only bias) + increased volatility which makes prior effective smaller stops less effective with wider ranges.
Yes, that is the thing for sure, same with the indices, obviously........when they are so overvalued with no correction ever, they fall way harder than they rise......ADRs are 2-3 times past few days than what they were during the rise.
It was technically overdue and now combined with the uncertainty of the demise of the US.....well, perfect storm for a sell-off on the indices. Actually, gold should remain bullish if the equities sell-off continues as nobody really wants USD either.
This is where props actually save a lot of folks financially, you lose a sub fee or two or three as opposed to your entire broker account you worked 5 years to accumulate.
If someone just started trading within say the past 2-3 years, they're like, Wow, this is so simple....I guarantee there are a lot of margin called accounts the past 2-3 days.
I'm sure GDP at 8:30 will either extend the free fall or be the catalyst for reversal.
I know they had an issue with their support team this week, but I'm not getting good vibes from FundedNext. Ignoring the slow support time, I simply wanted to change my challenge account to a Swap-free account (after seeing their hideous swap fees). Should be a simple matter of charging me the extra fee, or at least refunding me when I purchase a Swap-free challenge. They even have a 7-day refund policy if you haven't started using the account (which I haven't). But for the past week have literally been going around in circles. For example they insist that the extra fee is paid by crypto - not credit card or PayPal. And they are avoiding a refund by never replying to me when I say "let's just do a refund and start over".

Yes the FundedNext dashboard is not working properly. It does not update for days especially when you are funded. And then the daily losses are accumulated so you get breached falsely easily. Then you need to deel with the support, it takes many emails and a week to get those things fixed. For me then my good swing trade chance was over until they fixed my dashboard. Heard a lot of complaints here, especially when you are profitable and funded those things starts with FundedNext. Avoid them better. I think they also have payout issues. Seeing some delays recently too here.

Yes, I am buying DOW and kind of averaging in and out on S&P. Even though S&P contains everything in DOW and all buy 21 in NAS......the tech is getting hit so hard, S&P just falling right in line with it.

is there any advantage using Darwinex with own account over DarwinexZero ?

I remember I read years ago that when you opened a bigger account you would get bigger allocations..
There seems to be enough of us trading futures....anyone have any interest in a new interactive trading thread for the indices, maybe gold as well?

No sub fees on Darwinex...you can build your track record while trading a personal account. There are some restricted countries, including, of course, the USA.
Funny developement on my choppy DZero account...not looking so choppy anymore.
Also no worries about trader SBE anymore, he is at 2,6 % gain or so.... and only 90% match, while 2 days ago he was 95% correlated and 7% gain.

With the narrowing of overall market gains the past several years... when big tech gets hit hard, it gets really ugly out there.

I think the local low is in for SP500, almost a 5% correction from top and Nasdaq around 10%. Just todays low touched the lower trendline support. Expecting 6000 point hit on SP500 by September now. If SP500 hits 6200 by October or earlier I should make 150k profits. Would be huge for me in that short time period. No way any prop firm would payout me that amount even if this is splitted to several accounts. So I trade this just on my personal acc.

The ability to scale in/out with Darwinex futures account on MT5 is a godsend. I would've violated my APEX accounts doing what I am doing here....they would not like it at all.
I just trade APEX small with huge S/l and t/p, either make $400 or lose $400, end of day I just close whatever is there.
Seems to work just fine and there is absolutely no rule they can invent to not pay me.
I just averaged in on DOW on Darwin, that position is alreay up over 100 points, original up 60+....stop on 2nd one is BE +50....can't do this with the props.
