{quote} Speaking about mt4,technically there is not any need to download new MT4 for every brokerage account you have got. Using common MT4 terminal and add proper/correct login information is sufficient. Quite handy to have only one DATA/MQL location for all accounts. https://www.metaquotes.net/en/metatr...d_trading/mql4 If you want/need to have separate mt4 terminal locations, you can just xcopy local directory structure containing mt4 files into another one, create shortcut to exe and that's it



please can i ge a step by step guide on how to have seperate mq4 terminal locations

Find your Metatrader 4 directory (usually in C:\program files (x86)\)
Select it
CTRL+C
CTRL+V => this will create new folder having Copy suffix in the folder name and it looks like on the screenshot. You can rename the folder to whatever you want.

If you need t create link in Start Menu for the new terminal, you can go inside the new folder, find terminal.exe, right click on it, and chose Pin To Start.

MQL files must be moved separately.

That's it

Hi, this message is for Otakar.

I'm currently in a challenge and the first broker I had was IC-Markets using their RAW/ECN account on MT5. I was extremely happy with them from the spreads to execution. Once learning that ICM was no longer being offered I switched to FTMO/LMAX using the MT4 platform. At first was extremely happy and may of even been better than ICM's. Then the platform started freezing and acting up so unfortunately had to switch to another broker - Blueberry Markets. I assumed that we would receive their Professional/ECN account and not their Standard. Well, I received the Standard which is lessor of the two which I couldn't really make sense of especially being a trader of FTMO. I like to trade the GBP crosses and the spreads are outrageous as well as others! Not even considering Exotics... I understand the volatility lately but they are on the extreme side. Now, I'm stuck with this broker which I chose but really had no idea that I would be in this predicament.

Is there a reason why we don't have access to their better account?

Thank you Otakar!

Bob

ICM Raw Spreads no longer available ?
- ICM Raw Spreads and ICM STP listed on Current Spreads List but not on Long Term Spreads List.

Admiral Markets Prime (now Admiral markets Zero - https://admiralmarkets.com/start-tra...?regulator=fca) - Admiral Markets (standard) appears to be overall consistently the lowest spread cost on both the Current Spreads List and Long Term Spread List.

Hi Phylo, no actually IC-Markets is no longer available to FTMO and their traders and yes they use to offer the RAW/ECN account as that's what I was expecting to receive with Blueberry Markets. It's unfortunate because ICM's was the best broker available and I never had an issue with them. It would be nice if they were to work something out with them again and also add Pepperstone. IC-Markets and Pepperstone both are fantastic Forex brokers and have to be in the top 5.

Thanks.

was linked before, also it is on their website:
"FTMO Coronavirus update
Please be informed that our government enforced the state of emergency with mandatory quarantine for all citizens. Our operations are fully running but our customer support is limited as most of us work from the home office. Please try to minimize your emails and live chat. The response time is now longer than usual. We will contact you ourselves if need be. Thank you for your understanding and support."

in fact slowly the whole world is getting locked up, plenty of countries declared state of emergency, locked down their borders, closed school, shops, etc.
and they let you know about it, 2 days ago, in fact.
there is always, always another trade!!

Good day mates...

Is there anybody else who's experiencing problems with Purple Trading ECN Challenge account? It's been frozen for over 20 minutes now, luckily I have placed my Stops at Breakeven.

That’s the most common and usual problem with demo accounts. They are located on demo servers and demo servers are not and will never be the first priority for maintenance and upgrade, nor for improving execution speed and performance.

As long as FTMO clients have to run demo accounts and rely on servers with extremely low performance there will be problems which FTMO will never be able to solve.
