It was my first thought but I didnt want to say anything because people will call me negative and say that FTMO A-books all their customers.

Not related to prop but a long term annoyance is not being able to copy a price from Excel and pasting in MT4/5.
-You can use the macro feature from within excel to do this.

Go to the developer tab inside of Excel and click on Macros. In the new window, give it a name and click create; the Visual Basic window should pop up. In the Visual Basic window, remove everything and paste the following code:

Inserted Code
Sub CopyText()
Dim D As New DataObject
D.SetText ActiveCell.Text
D.PutInClipboard
End Sub

Now, click on 'Tools' and then click 'References'. Be sure that 'Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library' is checked. If it does not appear in your list, close the References window and click on 'Insert' and then 'UserForm'. You can either leave the userform there, or, click on 'File' and then 'Remove UserForm1' (or whatever name is given). Now, check 'Tools' and 'References' again, to see if 'Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library' shows up and is checked.

Save the file. (you may need to change the file type to macro, as instructed).

Return to your excel file and click on Macros again. With the macro highlighted, click on 'Options'. Assign a shortcut key. I recommend c, so that the shortcut will be Ctrl+c, for copy.

This should allow you to copy only the plain text from excel, over to Metatrader, without needing to double-click and highlight anything. I have tested this with MT5 and it works. Don't forget to save your excel file.

Yeah, and this is rather funny than proper company presentation.

Thanks a lot for this.

Unfortunately, for some reason I can't find, it's not working.

I think I created the macro correctly because when I CTRL+c and paste in excel he doesn't paste the formulas. He paste something else (the question marks).

So, I guess the macro is working correctly allowing to copy/paste some kind of object.

However when I CTRL+c and then paste in MT5 nothing is being copied. I still have the SL or TP as 0.0000.

The file was saved as macro enabled and Forms 2.0 objects are ticked as well. Am I missing anything in the tick box ?

Despite the previous one didn't work, I found this one that worked correctly:

Quote
Sub TestLoadActivecellToClipboard()
Clipboard ActiveCell.Value
End Sub

' Copy Excel value to the Windows Clipboard
Function Clipboard$(Optional s$)
Dim v: v = s 'Cast to variant for 64-bit VBA support
With CreateObject("htmlfile")
With .parentWindow.clipboardData
Select Case True
Case Len(s): .setData "text", v
Case Else: Clipboard = .GetData("text")
End Select
End With
End With
End Function
Source: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...-excel-365-vba

I understand zero of VBA so I can't help anyone if this doesn't work. I just followed Nsak3y instructions and pasted this routine instead of the other one.

It's a dream coming true being able to copy from Excel to MT5.

Thank you so so so much to Nsak3y who was the trigger to allow me a proper search of this in google.

Sorry for hijacking the topic with this but with so many props around it may be useful also for other users that don't use copiers and trade all manually, like myself.

Rise is a joke for bank transfers to Europe. First of all I can't transfer USD, only EUR, despite I have some european bank accounts in USD. Secondly, they charge steal commissions. 7 USD flat fee and, in addition, they convert at 1 USD = 0.90 EUR. So, a transfer of about $2K costs about 35 euros. Almost 2%. I miss Deel so much....
On the positive side the bank transfer from Rise was almost immediate. Took about 5 minutes maximum to receive the EUR in Revolut account (through IBAN).

Avoid any prop firm that says "Affiliate of Prop Account LLC". If you dig deep enough, all roads lead to FPFX.

Saw quite a number of them popping up. Avoid avoid avoid.

Why not transfer USD to Revolut and convert there to EUR for very low fees? Just a thought.

That was the objective but that's what I said:
"First of all I can't transfer USD, only EUR"

The conversion USD->EUR is forced in Rise

I got finally my Blue payout. Took a week to process, despite I had already received a payout in Rise (so it's not due to first time in Rise).
