Gap trading strategy ? anyway how many trades you had in that day, 1 or 10 ? and what was your risk reward ratio ? im very curious as to how you had such low risk to high reward.

Hello traders, ..........!
First of all, thanks for the replies.

Other problem.
On Sunday (closed market) I prepared my MT4 to use the new symbols and I advised everyone, in my previous post on the Forum, to do the same.
With the opening of the Asian market, I experienced a noticeable slowdown of the platform and a noticeable use of my HD (I have a $ 3500 computer). I postponed everything to this afternoon (Italy) and when the MT4 was restarted I found myself (due to increased data traffic on the feed) with the platform frozen and I was forced to close while my computer panted.

After more than an hour I finally understood the problem:
GER30.cash index data is the problem. And only on the CHALLENGE account, while on the Free Trial account everything works perfectly.

Contact the chat for a quick report and write:
"Sorry, I use Google Translator and have prepared this message in advance.
To avoid unnecessary questions:
- I've been using the same tools for years,
- I made no changes,
- until the introduction of ger30.cash on the challenge account everything was ok (even the use now in free trial with the same index).
Contemporary graphics on the screen:
US500.cash - XAUUSD - GER30.cash WITH RENKO BARS.
The exact same configuration (indy - EA - format and profiles) on the free trial account now works perfectly.
The exact same configuration, on the challenge account, now blocks the mt4 and almost nails the computer.
The problem is GER30.cash. Even when displayed alone (Renko), it creates the same problem.
The only difference I see between the free trial and challenge account is the arrangement of the indices within the Cash CFD and Cash II CFD groups.
Furthermore the last decimal place on GER30.cash is 5 (xxxxx.x5). First time I see such a thing. The minimum variation is on the first decimal place (xxxxx.N). In this case, the last decimal place is always 0 (zero)."

The first answer was:
"Please note that you have to respect trading conditions.
The trader is the only one responsible for the actions taking on his accounts of him. If it is working on the Free Trial it should work on Challenge or any other account the same way
We do not provide any recommendations on how to set EA
Anything else I can do for you at the moment?"

I leave out all the other absurd answers that I read between 16:31 and 17:27 with two girls (2 chat). Just an hour? Endless when you talk about "carrots" and you are answered "shoes". Damn!!!!

I repeat:
everything works perfectly on the Free Trial account, while it freezes the platform on the Challenge account.
Perhaps the problem is with this Index's Data Feed?

This is the only difference between the Trial account (first image)

and the Challenge account (second image).

With the declaration of total blocking of the platform,
I was asked to send a screenshot of the platform (???????) and the log of the MT4 (???????).
Every time the platform crashes, you have to delete the lastprofile.ini file (otherwise the MT4 will freeze again) and start over. A problem.

Now I ask you:
what is not clear in what I wrote before?
If everything is ok on my part and the only variable is your thing, what should you check?
My computer or your data?
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe

14 trades. 1:3 is my minimum but i close it as i see it. I don't trade gaps, thats insane, I trade order flow. The majority of the profit was from 1 trade that I let run.

GER30.CASH - HOUR 22:00 CET
Unusable. And now, the last decimal place has become 4.
Last night I saw 660 pips and then 330 pips. Up to normal which (today) was 70

Well done. I have 5 days to go. I'll stick up my matrix at the end - I agree it's quite possible to do it in one day. In fact I think it's better to gun it rather then attempt to achieve the target with multiple low-leveraged trades.

for me the fear is the 10k rule having a shitty few days run. Not the 5% because thats easy to do with discipline.
