{quote} Honestly forget about one day pass. All you need is make an avg $500 a day and stop. Across 20 50k accounts. Doing that is mind numbingly easy. First three months you’re capped at 80k, after that cap is lifted. $500 a day is $200k a month. Intraday only, during waking hours when you can be focused. Trade only one or two that move during that time. It’s methodical, boring and uneventful. That’s how the game is played.

{quote} How many lots aprox were you using in challenge phase ? This is useful information. Btw, they may revise that after a while and if they like what they see in funded account you may have those restrictions waived.
2-5 for gold, max 40 on forex but on 3 symbols in parallel once (usually 10-20 lots at a time), and 5-10 lots on DE40 and US100.

Didn't go into deep drawdown. Was quite smooth and took profit early so that no one single trade contributed most of the profits.

Whoa. So many new rules but no clarity given with the vague descriptions.
The stop loss rules sound like a throwback to the ones some of the forex firms used to have. Think they should at least state how much can be risked so that the stop loss can be set.

{quote} I am trading from UK and I have been using FXBlue trade copier to copy trades from my FXpro account into FTMO funded account though my VPS server is set to London and I have never receive such warning from them. May be your VPS changed server location during downtime or so.

Thanks Stirmatt for the reply. FX Blue replied me and told me that copying is handle inhouse in VPS without using external server, same with you. I guess it is the VPS provider. This is not the first time they are doing that.

You can use VPS to gives you permanent server location to avoid FTMO banning you.

Those rules were always in the PA agreement so it’s nothing new.

-I agree with most of these rules, but I do not understand why firms prohibit DCA. Maybe someone can explain.

Being able to break trades up into smaller position sizes is a necessary part of trading. I do it to mitigate slippage and maintain flexibility on my entries.

I guess, fortunately for APEX, slippage is not much of an issue.

Depends how they define it.

If they interpret it by the book, which these props may do, then any buy at 5000 and another at 4999.75 is already a violation.

I do that tons of times in fx to get better fills. Instead of buying 5 lots I buy 3+2 with minutes of difference. Sometimes the 2 lots are bought slightly lower than the 3 (so the 3 was losing), which is not a big deal for a positions that will be there for hours or days.

The FX yolo migrants have become dreadful to deal with. I saw tons of them screaming about losing accounts on CPI news.

-It is a silly rule, in my opinion. I can understand it for the reasoning that you described (adding to losing trades), but this rule should not apply for entries. If they revised the rule to only apply for subsequent trades that take place after 1M or something, then that would be more reasonable.
