I don't know whats going on. My feed is working but all the prices are strangely away from the market. Dow 100 points off and gold 2dollars. I restarted, gold fixed but dow is still way off.

I wouldn't normally post, but these server disconnects are a problem and they are unacceptable when money is at risk. I have been getting disconnects for as long as I can remember; usually lasting a couple of seconds depending on how Metatrader reconnects. Now I am running a demo trial on MT4, a challenge account on MT5, and when things disconnect, I will quickly check MT4/5 on my mobile connection to see if it's my internet or FTMO. My thinkorswim keeps a connection, or the rare cases it's my own internet, is able to recover promptly. There are so many disconnects with FTMO.

During Asia hours though, it was clear that FTMO had problems with their server because gold was still updating prices, but all forex was frozen for I think over 45 minutes. You can see the gaps in prices at 3:00 today for yourself.

{quote} I've been here for 5 years, this guy just trolls the forums, nothing better to do, nothing positive ever. He clearly failed big time at trading and has the notion that nobody can succeed simply because he didn't. I honestly cannot believe he still posts here.
My guess is 99.99% of thread readers will agree and appreciate the above.

However, it is well known that trolls love nothing better that to stir up a hornets nest.

Copy and paste and some from a previous post
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Some rushed thoughts - comment why I don't respond to this entity (my initial first post is addressed universally )

The notion of wasting time is an illusion. For all intent and purposes time is infinite - the galaxies have, after all, been around for some extended time.

Were we to live 60, 000 years and just waste time we would have wasted nothing of time.

The human body duration is finite-in-infinite-time. When we talk of wasting time we are not fully aware or cognizant that we are in fact referring to wasting-our-human-body-duration. We don't have 700 years at our disposal to get things done.

From the above premise we can deduct - human body duration - to be our first fundamental strategic physical asset upon which all other strategic physical assets depend.

While not religious - "cast not pearls before swine" - is a vital pro-productive strategy.

The hidden agenda of swine is to waste their body duration and yours as theft contribution as they satiate themselves feasting on emotional negativity, attention seeking and psychological illness dressed up as virtue (megalomania, delusions, etc. ... the provocative avatar club ....again, not religious, but another pearl......"by their fruits you will know them").

In trading if losses are not cut ruthlessly and immediately losses amount.

The same immediate ruthless principle is required with swine - it is criminal to self and family welfare and wealth to waste the first fundamental strategic physical asset - body duration - on body duration thieves.

As far as FF is concerned Commercial threads are, besides outright scam and some other transgressions as a general rule, free-for-all-with-whatever-goes and any thread monitoring is solely the responsibility of the Commercial thread starter.

Failure of which leaves recourse to the magic button - lol, he...he......out of sight, out of mind .... - a suggestion: smile, be happy and and just ruthlessly move on....

1. See this: Post 53?

2. Go to to his $100 to $409k thread?

3. 6 months or so? What do you think?

Don't worry, FTMO could not care less for a lousy 100k our hero will gladly blow away. He blew away 4,400% in gains. For a day? LOL

How is this EVEN possible?

Is it due to an extremely poor money management?

I bet, he just can't handle money. And he can't handle CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICS, as well. Not a single one. Even WHEN HIGHLY POSITIVE.

I am sorry. My daily baskets opened are nearly 200. More or less. Each is 0.01 flat. Their overall average target is 10 usd (100 net collected pips). This means, my daily collections in this particular account are close to 20,000 pips. I do make small target closures on the fly, but for the global some 2-4-6 weeks are required.

20k pips a day. Hell yeah!

After 1-2 global closures I am going after the 40k pips a day or 60k pips a day. Have not decided that one yet...

The technical problems this company's customers have are just incredible.

It goes on for ever!

But what's even more alarming than that are the frequent reports that when people need urgent support and try the online chat, they wait for so long and then just get disconnected from it because it's the end of the working day for FTMO and they don't care. And even when people complain about that in public, when FTMO reply to questions and complaints here (which is only about once a week!) they never reply to those at all, and simply don't comment at all on their dreadful behaviour! No apology, no explanation, no acknowledgement of the widespread problem!

How can you guys bear to do business with a company like this?!

It doesn't affect my trading much, they generally have technical issues during rollover and i am never in a rollover trade.

Wait, you actually passed all objectives and kept trading? You need to open atleast a small live account elsewhere if you feel the need to keep trading.

Looks like a few lucky trades got you into the verification parameters.

You made nearly 100 trades in that long loosing streak from the top... You need to rethink your strategy, write down what goes wrong with your trades and learn from it

Not lucky trades, I do have a winning strategy with +exp.value.
but took trades outside my plan was the cause.
Mostly boredom trades based on impulse.

the fixed profit target to me is the hardest part to overcome and causes things like overtrading and taking losses prematurely. But once you passed its strange you didn't just fire micros in and out once a day.
