Hello.

I received the below email from FTMO. Yes - my vps is in a USA server and I use VPN at home. My country is in Europe-middle east.

I asked forexvps.com to change my country location. And I will be careful with home vpn.

But they do not tolerate one time negligence as it appears in the email. I have fear that I can make occational mistakes over time with pressing a wrong button. I hope they do not ban me. One single mistake will destroy months of efforts in challenge and thousand of Euros.

What do you advise me? Will they be tolerant to me?

Thank you and below is the email from FTMO:

I hope you are doing well.

We detected that your currently active MetaTrader account has recently recorded login activity from the United States. Please note that MetaTrader accounts are not allowed to be traded in the US. You likely use VPN or VPS to have your geolocation set as the US. Please change the geolocation so that you do not log into or trade your MT account from the United States. If we detect the log-in activity from the US again, we'll have to take the necessary measures to mitigate risks associated with a breach of this directive.

I hope the above is self-explanatory. In case you have any questions, feel free to contact our 24/7 Customer Support.

Have a nice weekend ahead!

Best regards,

Do not do next time and you will be okay.

{quote} Hello 191 I just had to look at FIX. It is quite exciting. However it is a project and it cannot be right now. I will need som peace to do this. But I have started to read about it. I am a self learner though, so I think I have only one question for you. I understand it is a financial messaging engine to communicate between trader and platformprovider (broker etc.). But I need my charts in order to be a trader. Can you point in a direction of chart applications that can communicate via FIX?
many create their own charts inside their own frontend.
or they use excel for this as frontend (depends how often price refresh are important for your trading, i think excel cant go very often per second for refresh by design).
or you simple use any charts what you want (for example metatrader) and even trade from there and let your trades run over your own way/bridge by fix protocol to any broker you like. possibilities are endless.
in general you can do anything without any limitation.

at least stability is not your problem. results are very constant.

much cheaper to learn trading first step by step, then try in demo, then try paying for a demo prop.

Hi JustPipMe,

I am testing it now & it leaves a lot to be desired. For me anyway. There has got to be a better choice these prop firms could use. Maybe you will like it. Just my view.

I created my own charts many years ago. About year 2000. I programmed visual charts and buy and sell signals according to the few strategies I was able to program ( was working full hours). Signals were grabbed at the Internet with 20 minutes delay. But compeding with todays charting machines like MT4 - you cannot. However if Metatrader has the ability to communicate using FIX signals that I create, that is exiting.
MetaTrader 4 - so many advantages.

One option for charting is just to use TV for your charts and whatever crappy backend platform they offer you. It should work out similar but has an extra step.

The server outages, slow execution and weird slippage cant be fixed though.

I will continue to chart on MT4. I have never charted on MT5 anyway. I just need the platform to push buy or sell.

What exactly is your issue with MYFF and BG using that particular broker? I have some accounts with MYFF and would like to continue trading with them also in the future without someone trying to intervene on purpose.

Well, lets start where he openly stated he was buying an ASIC licensed broker. If he is willing to lie about that, what else is he lying about? Its a pretty severe lie.

You are probably not using his services so maybe better mind your own business instead of creating issues for your fellow traders.

Speaking of platforms, I am using Quantower on APEX, copy trading groups. I actually really like this platform.

I know its frowned upon to say this but CQG is my all time favorite platform. Ever since ninjatrader appeared it gets a bad wrap but I still think the OG CQG is great.

For the next 6 months you can save money and develop a consistent trading strategy and then decide if you want to take this business seriously.

if you force yourself to “lose” a challenge by:
1. Letting profits run (against your primal instinct)
2. cut losses super early (against primal instinct)

you’ll probably win that challenge.
