-I scale into positions, also. I just use an EA that automatically sets an emergency-only stop-loss for every position, so the stop-loss requirement is not a concern. In the case of this firm, I was more concerned with the bit about unusual, big ...

-Probably, the direct-funding model does not suck for them. Sadly, I expect that they will continue to offer it so long as people continue to sign up for it. I looked over their website a while back. Things are confusing and their offerings are not ...

Prop Firm Hub

-Oh, geez. Okay. Good to know. Thanks. Curious how they are dealing with news traders getting perfect fills then.

Prop Firm Hub

-Thanks for all of the info. Any experience with slippage?

Prop Firm Hub

Anyone currently trading with fidelcrest? They have some pretty large accounts/targets, so I am curious about their trading conditions/slippage. You may need to trade pretty heavily in order to reach the targets in time, so if the slippage is ...

Prop Firm Hub

-Exactly. That would be unfortunate. If firms even consider it, hopefully they would give traders a choice, along with an explanation so that most of the newbies would realize that dealing with the occasional slippage would be the better option. It ...

Prop Firm Hub

-Hopefully, we do not see any firms concede to pressure, either, else we may end up seeing massive spreads and more restrictions in order to counter the abusers.

Prop Firm Hub

-Nah, they just helped you reduce your taxable income.

Prop Firm Hub

-Oh, okay. I just assumed that MFF, for example, were able to set the slippage amounts based on lot size etc. for their simulated accounts.

Prop Firm Hub

-Right. That all makes sense. I think that if most traders are trading heavy lot sizes, which is probably the case given the statistics, then these firms should have some slippage applied to simulate real conditions. It would be a bad business move ...

Prop Firm Hub

-I suppose that in the case of prop firms that are keeping most traders on demo, but employing some sort of simulated slippage, that they would be better off to treat limit orders as market orders else traders could circumvent slippage even when ...

Prop Firm Hub

-Makes sense. Thanks for clarifying. I suppose that partial fills could also not be possible when a broker/firm is not actually pushing trades to market.

Prop Firm Hub

-I cannot speak about a lot of this, actually, but if I had to guess, I would say that all orders are treated as market-taker orders else you could end up with partial fills. I do not believe that I have seen metatrader support that. Maybe Takisd ...

Prop Firm Hub

-That would make sense. With respect to limit orders, they probably just treat it like a market order once hit and simulate slippage accordingly since it might be difficult to employ an alternative solution without getting abused. I could be wrong, ...

Prop Firm Hub

-I suppose that it might depend on how these firms are operating. For example, if the limit order is placed as a market order once hit. Would make sense if things are happening at the demo level and real liquidity could not be impacted by large ...

Prop Firm Hub

-That looks a lot better. Were you just taking really small take-profits then? Those profits sizes are large, though. Are you consistently trading that size?

Prop Firm Hub

-Sounds like a millennial. video

Prop Firm Hub

-I couldn't help but laugh myself this morning when watching NAS100. A lot of newbies getting smashed, for sure.

Prop Firm Hub

-So I guess MFF and FTMO for the win, again. Maybe the question then becomes, what is considered as scalping or how these firms define it. I personally prefer to scalp because there are fewer surprises and I can get in and out quickly to minimize ...

Prop Firm Hub

-True. But the commission is more than his profit. That's just crazy, especially when you compare it to zero commission that other firms offer. Of course, maybe we can only speculate about what is really happening behind the scenes sometimes. Like ...
