Hi. I have access to HFT live results from some traders. They have exceptionally high returns. Can it be accomplished in live account?

Which brokers do you suggest and do HFT EA's work only in demo?

Hi. I have access to HFT live results from some traders. They have exceptionally high returns. Can it be accomplished in live account? Which brokers do you suggest and do HFT EA's work only in demo?
I have a HFT tick scalping EA which turned 3.000$ into 12.7 Million USD on demo on US30
The Problem is, it only seems to work on certin demo accounts with certin Server conditions.
It can be used to Pass some demo prop challenges, thats the only value i See in it.
I dont think any CFD brokers allows live high frequency tick scalping, but besides that it doesnt work live anyways. You get slippage in your pending order execution, you get a worse entry and even the SL gets slipped often.
So all of the sudden the average losses become bigger then the winns. You cant Cover spread and commissions by scalping ticks that way.

The question is, what do the terms of Service say? Most brokerages Cover them selfs legally and dont allow such trading in the first place.
You memtioned you have acess to some live results? Which brokers where used in those live results? And can withdrawls be seen?

Don't waste your time with HFT EAs as no Broker will allow you to use it on a live account.

They will allow HFT, if you work with them direct on a revenue share.

At least from what I see on the video, he is trading a real account. The rest is like magic, 0 slippage, stoploss only 11 points on US30.

Isn't the problem that during high traffic the metatrader platform is skipping ticks? It can't keep up with high market volatility, especially if you have cpu intensive code. Internal latency due to code execution plus comm latency seems like it would be a show stopper on MT. Supposedly I get tight ping rates off my VPS (1ms), so even having that going for you you still have slippage from order blocks being filled causing spread widening. Sounds intriguing but it seems like you need lickty split fast code and be next door to the brokers server. It also appears he is using a virtual TP, no TP is being transmitted, just a save ur ass SL.

Feel free to correct me if I have my facts wrong.

One thing I meant to suggest was to put comm time measurements in your codes Heads Up Display (HUD). I track comm time stats in my code along with current, average, max, and min spread stats.
