Of late i am not trading with FTMO for reasons, I find MFF is the best at this time. I noticed some 60 pips slippage in gpusd paid some 2 years ago... in a challenge account. How is their spread and slippage during news events ?
don’t trade anywhere during news..

existing positions may lead to violation of account during news events.

And filling of price ..too extremely difficult.

This is what happened to me with TFTP... I had existing sell positions in gbpusd... the price spiked down after news, I tried to close open positions in profit. Could not get fill... and then the price spiked up... to fill my stop above 48 pips from stop loss level.

Accounts ( One funded and another phase 2 ) got violated within minutes.
Intraday only.

{quote} This is good post. And I would appreciate if you take your time to compare the trading conditions too. Like spread, commision, slippage, server, feed, freezing and hidden agenda of firm to make traders to loose.
I've already done that. That is why my spreadsheet only consists of 6 firms. 5 have their own feed and TFTP is the only 8cap firm.

I always find a way out before news unless I’m feeling like a lucky punk.

I would consider MFF, TFF, FTMO, 5ers in this order.

And most importantly, I can copy trade from MFF to TFF ( In line with TFF copy trading rules )
Intraday only.

Firms using 8crap can add slippage as a parameter with several possibilities (in all trades, depending on the kind f trader, depending on the volume, etc.). It's like a videogame.

Ok. Great. I will see if there is something in your proof like a screenshot or something that I can see if it effected my trading or not....or better yet, if your prop induced anomaly was only exclusive to you. Very exciting indeed.

Easy to see in Funded Next and TFT (but just on EU sever, not in the other old one).
Not so easy in other ones like MFFx and Blue, unless using a copier (Vitore left several examples of that about a month ago or so).

fundednext used to be the worst but recently TFT took that crown. Along with the second biggest douchebag crown

Those are very basic configurations on the MT4 server side. Clients can be added and moved between user groups which can have very different settings regarding slippage and spread markups.

Anything can be manipulated if the provider is willing to make it so.

Mt5 and ctrader are easier to play with than mt4 . I just spent like 3 weeks manipulating ctrader for a client. Mostly to build realistic conditions but also to see how far you can push it. It’s actually super easy if you have a meta trader server as well with a bridge. Mt5 has good built ins if you want to make a feed more realistic but retail traders hate that

Yes, so far no complaints. I think it depends a lot on one's trading style. I'm a smooth operator.
