{quote} Yes, strike 2 even when I have a EA placing them automatically You can see your strikes in your dashboard(see below) {image}
These SL violations are a little suspicious.

After seeing your post i decided to check if i had any violations and noticed i had 1 for not setting a stop loss.... on an NZDCAD trade i was very sure placed a SL the same time i placed the Sell limit order.
I went back to look at the trade and i realized that the order was filled with the SL in place, but when the trade closed in profit there was no SL attached to it.

Is this something peculiar to MT5?
after your Sell limit order is triggered, does the SL that was originally set get removed?

Koop, now that you are saying that I will open my mouth....
I did not want to say something but since I have an automatic sl I was sure that the SL was placed, but I said to myself
who knows... maybe I took the trade on another chart and that is why there was no stop placed

Lets pay close attention(I do big time) cause I am not striking out

But the mt5 is definitely not my choice of platform, I hate it always will lol

{quote} {quote} Lmao you guys are crazy Wait, the husband is COO? Didn't even think she was straight. So it's a family affair. CEO - Wife COO - Husband Head of something - Wife's sister. more reasons to be worried. Not too worried though, only $155 at risk. If i eventually choose to go for the 100k challenge it would have to be paid for from proceeds of the 25k account. Plan is to diversify right? ya'll will come around soon.
This COO, CEO discussions pertaining to FT ?

Funny. lol

Haven't placed a limit order so cannot comment on this. I would assume it's an MT5 thing, which of course, poses a problem, as that is only choice of platform on this challenge.

YES! I hate MT5 too but too bad I am stuck with it now
Also, they say you cannot change platform halfway when you are on a paid plan... so the only thing I can do is hit the profit target then see if they're willing to send me back to mt4 while creating a new account for the new phase.

As for your EA and SL issue, have you checked the log files yet? It should show a timestamp and record of all trade entries done

Nope, the SL set for pending limit orders in MT5 is not removed for me
It still remains there when trade is triggered, but then again I am on the paid plan... not the 'summer fun.'

Yours look like it could be a glitch or something. Maybe write to them about it and post the issue in 5ers thread here so Tomer will get back to you

I had placed a stop order(I am suspecting it could have been this one), but 100% I placed the SL in that order,
I remember clearly. I will be following everything like a hawk now

Just signed up for a 25K challenge with Funding Talent. I felt they deserved a test drive. Also noticed they weren't on the first post list
That's nice. Hope it goes well

What do you think of the spreads? Not too bad especially on the indices

I'm still busy with the 100k FT challenge. Hope to finish Phase1 by Friday

{quote} {quote} Haha i noticed yesterday that they weren;t charging commission or swap. The spread is unbelievably tight too. I don't understand how but i can't complain, my profitable trades close at TP quicker than my other accounts. I won't be discouraged you harbingers of doom . Just gonna get my refund and be at breakeven no matter what happens.
Its simple.

In metatrader admin you go to your symbol settings and you go to the pair you want to set the spread on. You go to eur/usd and set it to 0.

Then after that you go to parameter settings and set commission to 0 and swap to 0.

Thats how they do it. There is nothing connected to their metatrader 4, no execution party, no hedging of risk, nothing. Because to do so they would have to pay a fortune in fees per trade because they are way below market on everything in every way, even liquidity itself has a charge attached, its not free.

Its scammy as fuck. Even daniel savage at this point has more legitimate conditions than FT.

I love the spreads and the company has a "Director of Happiness", what could be better than that?

I guess Funding Talent was trying to outdo FTMO's sexy performance psychologist. I was thinking of messaging FTMO and telling them that I needed to talk to their shrink. I was going to let them know I was curled up in the fetal position sucking my thumb over a revenge trade that scarred me for life and that I would need Celeste to help me with my "performance".

One of the things I found off-putting at FTMO was that photo of their performance psychologist, made to pose as though she was on a dating site.

Today, Asia is done for me.

Now will look to Frankfurt open.

Today is third day. I guess, only after completion of third day, the metrix will show.

Had it been FT challenge, I could finish phase 2 today( Phase 2 target 4k ) , and start earning from tomorrow as there is no mandatory 10 trading days to pass challenge phase 1 and 2.
