{quote} Dude can you please stop raging? MFF allows copiers. Your interpretation of their rules is wrong. There are people all over internet showing that they use copiers with them. And instead of spamming the thread why not just communicate directly with them.
Dude, can you please stop raging?

I don't care about copy trading as I don't copy trade.
My concern is EA trading. That is a legit concern when choosing a prop. That is within the topic. No one has replied from the firm and therefore I am asking the public with vested interest.

Go watch one of those Netflix specials to relax yourself.

OK, let me rephrase the question.
Has anyone used an actual trading EA with mff, not a trade manager, not a copier, but one that does the deed at the command of the account holder?
Without any trouble?
Both in challenge and funded?
Without having to hand it over for inspection and approval?
Without being picked on lot size, sl, news. or whatever other rules other than the usual dd rules?

If yes, then with unlimited time, it maybe a contender now.

What fear of news trading? MFF has no restrictions and neither does the FTMO swing account.

I didn't claim mff had news restrictions but thanks for confirming that.
As for ftmo swing, at first glance, leverage is at 1:30 instead of 1:100 but that should be np.
phase 1, 10% profit target as opposed to 8%.
I'll look farther into it.

Yes, I've used an EA in all phases and funded.

Imo, it's not a traditional EA. It allows me to draw a line on a chart and the EA buys/sells when price hits the line. TP/SL/TS etc can all be set in advance as well. Never had any problem and never had to send in any code to MFF.

Very bad slippage on MFF during news.

I have traded several EA's on their Rapid challenge without any issues other than constant slippage especially on gold.

Yes, I have. It is not allowed on some programs like Accelerated, but is allowed on the Evaluation program. You have to read the rules for each program, because they are not the same.

{quote} Hey navk, I saw you passed several MFF challenges in a few days. If I execute a 20 or 10 Lots GBPUSD trade during the challenge (demo account), is there any slippage due to the size of the trade? If yes, how big is the slippage? I can accept 0.5 pip. Thanks!
I do not trade big lot positions.

Max position size is 3 to 5 lots I traded.

MFF, slippage... I did not see much.

Usual slippage...any time in gbpusd is 0.1 extra

{quote} You seem to assume that a person is waiting hours, days or week for ONE setup and then passes with only that setup. Instead, you can think about someone that uses a cross of a sma200 and something else. That person can be weeks or even months without a signal. He would have to be lucky to be able to get a signal in the 30 days. Now with unlimited he can buy and wait.
GBPUSD moves minimum 200 pips in a week.

ADR for this pair is 90 pips.

If some one catches daily candle in line with weekly candle, he can easily pass in 1 week challenge.

Passing Prop Challenge with Newstrading : Forex (reddit.com) any thoughts on this thread on reddit, i already read this idea on the same subreddit, but i dont think its a good idea because i only see people crying on MFF discord a few minutes after a red news. someone said he gets more profit, back then i was wondering why i get more profit than what i expected due to news trading on mff. now im no longer trading the news but will this be a good...
Sometimes in the first minute of the news the change in price is huge. Basically price jumps from A to B. The prices netween A and B are then not filled. Trades are then filled around B.

I don’t know how good the trades between A and B are filled at the real brokers. Maybe need to test this with 0,01 lot.

I give a clue.

I see downtrend started in gbpusd.

It can be called down trend or retrace.

Catching this trend/retrace will enable traders to pass challenge, phase 1 or 2 within next week.

100 to 150 pips retrace is what i expect.

It is not a signal but my analysis. Risk management and entry price is absolutely important.

Ditto. I trade small in relation to the account size and I do not experience slippgae. If one uses limit orders, you will see positive slippage more often than not. Same with TPs, I see positive slippage quite often. The size lots folks see slippage on, would have more slippage on a traditional, retail broker account. Once again, this is the forex market, I'm not sure as to why folks expect UNREALASTIC conditions with the props.

It's called straddling and it doesn't work. You may get lucky one or two times. If trading was as easy as placing abuy stop above price and a sell stop below price......well, no need to finish the statement.

It's a painful lesson that most will likely experience. Regardless there are those that still chase it, thinking that's the only way to make money trading.
