{quote} Hey everyone, Sorry to intrude on the thread. Hi Marzy, I am not sure who told you that the 2 pip spread is normal, as you can see from the symbol in metatrader that 2 pip spread gbpusd symbol isn’t tradeable. It is there to allow calculation of the CFD’s for settlement as they don’t trade in USD, in this case UK100. Our GBP/USD spread is normally around the 0.2 area. We have no problem refunding you, or anyone for that matter should they not wish to continue with us (but haven’t traded their account), as another user said we do process...
Thank you for your reply here.
Update: I just received a email saying my order has been refunded a few minutes ago. So thank you for that!

I do not know how to private message. But would you send me your email address so I can forward you the full email correspondence documenting what your colleague said. I believe this is important to avoid any other trader going through the same experience as me.

Soon everyone will come here with their complaints to try to get freebies and shit. I saw some guy on facebook recently who broke the rules be like "IF they dont give me a free retry I am going to make a facebook campaign against them and get my friends to report them all to the authorities". Its funny but also would suck to be a legit company when people like that are roaming around.

First post here after being a silent reader for many years. Finally decided to purchase a MFF Evaluation after reading the many good reviews. However I later discovered they have a 2 pips spread for GBP/USD on top of a $3 commission during London hours! How do any of you scalp with this spread? I checked with them over email that I can request for a refund if I don't like the spread since I have not started trading yet. To my horror, they stopped responding once I requested for a refund! Had to contact my credit card to dispute this transaction...
Wow !

That is certainly a red flag but you never know they may have a 'valid' reason.

Keep us posted and I wish you a speedy recovery of your refund.

Just remember it's what us traders post here that can eventually filter through to the Prop Firms and due to competition greatly benefit the challenge takers.

Genius .... hmmm

Good trading,

What is so red flag about someone asking about a spread that is on a greyed out instrument and then a lazy support staff member being lazy? I spose the lazy support staff member is a bit alarming but even Verizon is like that and goldman sachs on my bank accounts.

God forbid we open up our opinion of airline service on here... everything will be a red flag.

I see two errors here, one by Marzy and one by some MFF support member. Marzy for not knowing that a greyed out symbol isn't a tradable instrument and MFF support for not saying "hey, thats not our spread, thats a greyed out symbol". If either party knew what they were doing the conversation wouldn't even be here in FF lol.

There was never an issue though. The trader was looking at the spread on a greyed out symbol.

Thanks, Masterrmind! I finally received a email saying my order will be refunded shortly after MFF's Yavuz posted here.

To everyone else: Sorry I did not know there are non-tradable symbols on MT4. I used the GBP/USD chart shown during MT4 setup to monitor the spread. I emailed MFF 4 times asking about the 2 pips spread, received 1 reply that this is normal for their broker, and a 2nd reply that I can ask for a refund if i don't like the spread. The red flag for me was when I stop getting any response after I requested for the refund! I later copied their general support email only to have someone inform me I had to email billing for refund. Unfortunately nobody else picked up on the incorrect information conveyed to me about the spread. Even after emailing their billing for a refund, there was still no reply up till the point I posted here & MFF replied.

So yes, maybe there was never an issue for any of you here who are more experienced than me, and the error was on my part. I assumed I will receive the most accurate information by contacting MFF directly, but that was not the case for me. Anyway I have forwarded the full email chain to Yavuz for review, so hopefully this doesn't happen again to anyone else like me.

Hence the last part of that sentence I posted stating unless they have a valid reason.

Eventually, the reason comes forward.

It's ok to post here marzy, you did what you thought was the right thing so kudos to you.

Calling Prop Firms out as you did let's the rest of us traders see how the case gets handled.

Well done to MFF to respond.

Out of interest is there any trader here who has made it through to a funded account with FTMO starting with a 200k challenge.

I'm not referring to merged lower valued accounts.
