@Tomas

Can FTMO consider adding to metrics also "Equity" curve ? Similar to MyFxbook graph. This might also help to solve potential disputes better.

Hi traders. Looking for clarification on the S&P 500. Is it required to have all S&P 500 positions closed by the end of the session every day with a funded account? Web site says it's required, online representative says it's not. Which is it? Thanks.

If the market is to close for more than 2 hours it is necessary to close the positions.

very useful tool.

This is enuff.

One need not complain about slow metrics.
Intraday only.

Hi, i want to ask about news on GBP in less than an hour

GBP has restricted news on FTMO Calender for CPI y/y which is yellow tagged on FF...

As i'm doing a challenge now, restricted or not the news is, it is irrelevant for me... I do not have limit/stop orders on GBP pairs as i already bought the position on GN....

But i have a SL and TP placed for GN buy positions...

On FTMO FAQ ( https://ftmo.com/en/faq/can-i-trade-news/ ), it is stated that "In the FTMO Challenge and Verification, you can hold trades during news releases. However, you cannot scalp the news or use a straddling method (catching news spikes using stop orders)."

My question are:
1) Whether it is alright(i don't lose my challenge status) if then the impact of news catches immediately my SL and or TP?

2) When i interpreted the particular FTMO sentence above, it sounded like if there is any news, irregardless the colour of tag, irregardless of restricted or not, as long as the currency pair has that particular currency which has the news, i should not place any pending buy/short as the result is losing the challenge qualification... even though much lower probability of yellow/orange tagged news making sudden large move...

Might be an error. As soon as I check red FTMO economic calendar the GBP news not listed as restricted, but is before hand. If in doubt, don’t take chances, assume restricted.
Perhaps FTMO can look into the non match.

I checked earlier, just AUD and CAD were showing as restricted. Now GBP showing!
Definitely not showing earlier.
Makes a mockery of the restricted news calendar if they add this in a couple of hours before the event.

I think they depend on the FF calendar which is still displaying the GBP news as yellow. Weird as hell and misleading.

Yep, not on, changing it to restricted a couple of hours before the event.
Have to hope it’s a glitch otherwise it’s a waste of time.

Hello again, I hope you had a nice week and the Monday’s vaccine craze didn’t catch you off guard. We didn’t encounter any technical issues in the past week. On Sunday night, we have switched the Liquidity Provider of cryptocurrencies on cTrader and for this reason, the cTrader platform was down for maintenance for about 20 minutes on Sunday. Apart from that, we have made some further infrastructure upgrades and testing of new instruments including stocks we wish to offer soon is going great. Let’s get to your posts now...

Hi Tomas,

Spreads on some indices like EUR50 and SPN35 are very high. Practically making the day trade unfeasible. And as these indexes close for more than 2 hours every day, it is also not possible to make the swing trade.

Just checking

Has anyone noticed whether low impact news like GBP today 18/11/2020 08:00 have, in the past, been restricted?
I usually condense down to just checking red news, looks like I may have dodged a bullet.

They should add "show only restricted event" option in the calendar. Like you I am sure 90% filter to red news and then check restricted events, and like this today could really cause problems. And for some yellow news....

Ftmo-tomas what do you think?
Anything above the line is an uptrend, below the line is a downtrend.

I suppose, yep, but I don't trade news or 1min.
Just don't want to miss a restricted news event showing on a yellow.
I assumed they would be on the red, however.... never assume.

That would help, I bet a fair few dudes have lost accounts through checking red only.

GBP CPI is always restricted.

Would be easier if they had a restricted news filter in the trading portal, whether its red or in this case yellow it would be a quick go to.

Hi, Nigerian group chat members, thanks for your prior helps, Sorry am still stuck with the payment issue, cbn has new restrictions on domicillary prohibiting transfers of physical deposits, that skrill of a portal am afraid I can't risk having my fund hang on their network, worse is I can't even transfer any money to get full verification cos of cbn restrictions, if I use my people who can pay it through USA my fear is after passing the challenge, and verification, set up for profit share with be another issue, I've put off domicilliary account opening because of these issues, contacted support on ftmo but their response was I should follow the instructions on their website, nothing more, any ideas please. Thank you.
