So don't normally trade news on purpose, but wanted to share experience with various props this morning.....traded the US30 long risking 0.4% with a 350 pip stop and 800 pip target, every firm performed perfectly closed with positive slippage, led by the funded trader with 22 pips. One exception was TFF as the feed on US30 didn't move for over a minute, moved and paused again. Fortunately the trade stayed close enough to profit level and I closed manually 1 pip above target.
My take is they either need better LPs OR it was completely intentional pausing the trades in profit until they are not as profitable or turn negative.......by the way, this is a famous trick of the "regulated" brokers here in the US.

I saw people claiming a lot about TFF freezing during news when they had the discord opened

most of the firms who claimed "no slippage" to grow, now have slippage and it starts to get worse. Why? Because slippage is damn normal in the market. No slippage on news is a good way to go bankrupt in 5 minutes.

Like I said, normally wouldn't even be an issue....but, price was at one of my levels and it was a major contrarian trade, so small position with wide stop and target.
Just sharing how my 4 performed as it may be an issue for someone else.

Exactly. However, I experience positive slippage most of the time. Even TFTP with Eightcap, I got 22 points positive on the exit (TP hit) this morning

Well if market moved towards your stoploss your slippage would have been 500 pip as market moved so fast a minute candle in MT4 shows 500 pips.

Yes, I knew the danger of potential slippage that is why I used 350 point stop yet only risked 0.4%. It looked as if the candle moved immediately in my favor. It was a good R:R of over 2:1.
Generally speaking, when you have the trade correct and it hits a TP, you will get positive slippage due to it being a limit order. The opposite is true when a stop loss is hit.

Tff is saying they are replicating real market conditions,
But charts froze for few minutes and missing data purposely rid of many traders caught offside, overall they never change since their inception.
I would just stick with ftmo and mff.
on a postive roll...

I noticed ftmo froze for approx 30 minutes or so a few days ago as well, I've contacted them about it but have yet to get a worthwhile reply back. How long did it freeze for today?

Check mobile platform.
There used to be frequent freezes on MFF induces but every time I saw freeze I checked mobile platform and was able to exit via mobile platform.
