{quote}-Yes, but what does not seem reasonable is that the suggestion was made to allow risk-management EA's that could be submitted for review/approval by his team, as some other firms do
I did ask him about this, and he said that its hard to detect what type of EA is actually being used.

I did a small bit of research on this and came to the conclusion (so far) that whilst MT4 back end software can detect positions opened by EAs, the software cant (as far as I know) detect the specific EA being used. So from that conclusion Im assuming that MFF are simply trusting the Trade/Risk manager ea user not to use a bot.

But maybe there is some software out there that can detect the actual EA being used so that the trustworthy users dont get caught in the crossfire.

MFF does not need to worry about abusive EA's as much because the trading conditions won't allow for it.

-The solution is simple. Any firm that is operating on demo accounts, where trades are pushed to a live market, typically have such clauses that state that the firm needs to be able to duplicate the trades on a live account, under real, market conditions. Any traders that produce results that cannot be duplicated are dropped. This allows fair traders to operate without punishing everyone for a few bad apples.

I know very little about the technical side of this business, but I would be surprised if they could not incorporate some sort of execution delay on their demo accounts to match more realistic conditions, especially if they were operating their own servers. I even suspect that some firms/brokers have already figured out a way to do this, and I have even seen some demo accounts change this way. This could prevent a lot of the abuse that we see.

And yet I can't use my trendline EA which simply allows me to draw a line on a chart and execute trades at or near that line while automatically setting SL/TP trailing stops etc. Considering the London open is midnight my time and my sleep time is from 9pm-5am it is crucial to my system and completely hampers my ability to execute my system to its fullest potential.

It isn't a traditional bot and has nothing to do with taking advantage of the platform.

No, I'm not all good. MFF doesn't allow EAs without their approval which requires 3 months history before they will make a decision.

I don't know that's too complicated for me.

Anytime someone posts about trade copiers, VPN's, tick charts, or "running the numbers" I just ignore that post and think about Jessica jiggling her jello melons on a jet

If youve got a simple EA that you know is profitable, then surely its worth learning. Not much to learn though tbh, LTC and Duplikium are pretty easy to use.

I'm sure it's simple but would it be considered circumventing MFF's no EA rule without their approval? I'm a man of great character. Koop and Jessica will vouch for me

They wouldnt know your using it because you would be using a cloud copier. They would just show up on mff as manual trades

They require the source code. Mute point at the moment as once again their servers are frozen. Second rate MFF scrubs

Yea, but I WOULD KNOW that I'm circumventing their rules.

This is old and not relevant anymore. I asked them about this same thing before signing up and Connor said its all good don't worry it not required anymore.

I'm funded with MFF and 50% of my trading is with EA's.

Hmmmm.......so apparently they can't be bothered to update their website? And if they wish they can just pull a rabbit out of a hat at any time and say, "see, it says right here in the rules". Or I can trust some kid named Connor in discord?

I chatted with someone on their website chat a couple of weeks ago and they said I had to submit my EA.

A few loose ends at MFF. Not impressed.

That is one thing that bugs me about MFF is that their website information is woefully outdated. Have to look at the FAQ sections on the discord server for updated information.

Josh had mentioned that every time they update the website, it breaks their seo for some odd reason.
