Disliked{quote} 18% pass rate on futures is extremely high. Futures in general are way harder to trade due to you having to know more about how liquidity works than in spot/retail fx. It is more likely the pass rate in a futures firm is 1% or less if they offer a paid evaluation model like the retail fx prop firms. I can imagine MFF's traders trying to trade using the ladder..... omg it would be worthy of reality tv.Ignored
Disliked{quote} All this time i thought trading indices was easier than trading forex. I know trading indices using cfds is different from using futures but besides the leverage, i thought futures traders are on average better than forex traders. Maybe i should go back go trading forex after a full year away and only focusing on indices.Ignored
Disliked{quote} I have a Ninja Trader account that I had intended to use exclusively. After years on MT4 platform, NT8 been a bit frustrating for me. Index CFD's are easy to trade, but I don't trade them like I would FX. Intraday only and primarily after the Wall Street bell at 9:30 am EST. That's when all the action kicks off. Get in profit, flat by the end of the day.Ignored

DislikedIm running four firms at the moment. Mostly just trading DOW, NAS and SPX. One thing I noticed is E8's commissions are 10x that of TFF's. MFF and FTMO have zero commissions on Indices. Examples from today's trades. One is master, the other three are slaves copying identical lot sizes. {image}{image}{image}{image}Ignored
Disliked{quote} You're not a noob but anyway I'll ask: the contract size is the same ? I'm asking this because I noticed that companies have different sizes for when trading 1 lot. Sometimes 1x, sometimes 0.1x.Ignored
Disliked{quote}-True. But the commission is more than his profit. That's just crazy, especially when you compare it to zero commission that other firms offer. Of course, maybe we can only speculate about what is really happening behind the scenes sometimes. Like how bad does scalping flow have to be in order to justify that? Is this applied to manual scalping, too?Ignored

DislikedThe reason why CFD's are a pain in the ass is because if you are toxic (scalping flow or heavily profitable) you have two layers to be hedged.Ignored
