{quote} I dont think you can rely on doing 10% in two days with the challenge....I would atleast do 3 weeks more on demo with the strategie you are to use.....I am not trying to talk you down,but like me you have gotten into some serius trubble and almost blown up several times when trying to do 5% a day on MRDFX`S challenge.....The first rule to follow is to cut the loosers as fast as possible and that takes a lot of disipline......I had to start using a hidden stoploss so i am not able to move it cause i am very bad at taking losses and even i...
{quote} You're right about MRDX's challenge and we've all blown our accounts on that endeavour right? The problem with all of us has been attempting to overtrade small 100 dollar accounts which simply doesn't work. Glad to hear you're finding some consistency at last. The problem with me has simply been trying to make big money using very small money. It simply doesn't work and it's always a recipe for disaster. Of course I'm not going to try to do the challenge in 2 or 3 days! That would be dangerous but having the margin and and a decent account...
I've been seriously searching for a Prop firm to trade with for my future livelihood. I've broken it down to Topstep and FTMO. I trade Futures using the Ninja Trader platform. Dorman and ThinkorSwim are my brokers for my small live account. Unfortunately, I do not think FTMO offers to trade from Ninja. I decided to try out the MT4 platform and trade a $10,000 Demo account. The tools that I use on my Ninja Platform cannot be used with the MT4 platform. However, I found a way around this while trading the MT4 chart. Although not as accurate as simply...
{quote} I'm sure you can make it, just a matter of time. I notice one trader has an FTMO journal on FF from when they started. Also some of the videos are interesting especially one lady who apparently has only been trading for a year or two and now has a funded account, but she only applies the same H1 entry technique with a little better than 33% strike rate so her RRR is high. What concerns me is that when the market decides to change it may greatly affect her ability to keep deriving a profit, one reason why I believe having several trading...
{quote} I saw the video too, I think she is following a signal service. Not sustainable without a personal edge in the markets. My preferable platform is Sierra but not available, C trader is better then mt4 for the challenge account but not available for trial accounts. I hope they will add professional platforms in future. I am testing on trial account with mt4, its way too slow and frustrating.
{quote} perhaps i could of but my risk has been set to accommodate for loosing streaks that my strat had which you can see in my history. its all good having the leverage and margin but if at any point i get into a severe streak i could be wiped out, its all about account preservation and profiting in the long term, i don't mind getting rich slowly as i know the market repeats it self and through years of back testing my strat is profitable its just difficult cramming it into 30 days for this challenge without over leveraging/over risking. once...
{quote} No you're quite right - I'm not doing the maths am I?
we all perceive the market and its risk differently, if we all thought the same there wouldn't be a market 
oing same ting over expecting different results..Einstein
