{quote} Nice, congrats. Started verification today. Actually just trading to knock out one of the day requirements, not really looking for any big moves the Friday before a 3 day weekend. Since I have new credentials, I no longer see the .lmax. I'm actually quite impressed with the spreads, I'm currently getting 1.4 on GBPAUD. I use to see that as I high as 7 in Asia, never really below 2.5 even in London-NY.
yep me too ....spreads look sweet...i guess they fixed stuff...so many people had their panties in a bunch smh

The spreads and feed were unstable for a significant period of time. Not a few hours, a few days. If money is on the line, this is shit, especially if you trade on the short term. You can shake your head as much as you want, but its just a fact. It has been resolved it appears with the exception of oil, it still looks off market and clunky.

I'm sure I would've been pissed too, I was already in a challenge so even though I used the new server, I was still trading the old .lmax instruments. But if was already funded or under pressure of completing the challenge, absolutely agree it was unacceptable.

I passed the challenge but was still pretty upset on oil. I had to decide whether to close an order on a dead tick in my favor or wait to see whether the tick matures in my favor. It wasn't nice at all.

Yes slow and steady is my underlying approach waiting patiently to load up volume and then let rip within risk parameters.

Just trading the one challenge at this stage but you never know I am tempted to get the other 2 challenges started so maybe next week .... Hmmm.

About time someone else noticed bad spread on FTMO. To me spread is important as sometimes I trade on a 1 min chart. Last I said something about the spread I got flamed like there is no tomorrow. It earned me 3 Maflip fans.

Well, glad they fixed it. I passed the free trial last night. I'll start a new trial see how the new spread is. Still contemplating to buy the challenge or not, but regardless, this trial is good to train ones trading discipline.

And I apologize to people when I said silly things here. It's just some guys can't take criticism. I just had to make fun of them. Again, sorry about that.

It wasn't really about you trying to make fun of them, you drew more attention to yourself by trying to prove yourself on a forum by using big fonts & pictures. Shame, maybe you should just ignore them sometimes.

Agree, but it has done it's job. Seems those people got triggered and it seems other people too including you. This is why I apologized, since it also annoyed other people, but apology is not for those guys, it's for guys like you. I won't do it again, as long as those people stop. This is a free forum where we talk about things good or bad.

What you said about me is vice versa. "Shame, maybe you should just ignore them sometimes." Same can be said to the "Intelligent people out here."

Ok peace. Let's go back to trading. It's the weekend let's have fun.

And here is the dreaded emoticon. A friendly one this time

I think generally, you should expect a couple of days delay for bank transfers.
