      You probably mean VPS. It’s the cheap, shared VPS that have common IP addresses; some have a static or dedicated IP as an option without having to go full dedicated server. I live in a remote area with unreliable internet and power, so I have no ...

      IP flagging alone is a terrible enforcement policy, especially when it comes to VPS and VPN that can share a pool of addresses between thousands of people. I have static IPs for both my home fiber internet and my dedicated server in a datacenter, ...

      Yes, you will often get a different IP on a mobile device as you roam, and it could be the same IP another trader possibly used if it was a large enough population zone like a large city, although it shouldn't be at the same time of course. If they ...

      The5ers has a good reputation (maybe the second oldest prop firm?), but they keep tweaking their plans every month and I don't think they offer the value they used to. Currently the Bootcamp program has a low entry fee, but it's 3-step, and THEN you ...

      I have not had much trouble with 8cap, but I only trade the 28 forex majors and cross pairs, no indices or crypto, and I don't scalp. I also avoid news and rollover (except for trades left open for swing trading, but usually the stop loss is far ...

      That particular announcement about removing the spread markup was yesterday at 8:13 AM. But it sounds like they didn't really remove it until today when you read the rest of the announcements in order. Yesterday at 11:52 AM: Yesterday at 9:56 PM: ...

      Yeah, their FAQ says they don't allow grid trading either. So technically speaking, don't open more than 1 trade per symbol unless it's a single hedge in the opposite direction. I'm unclear when they determine a scale in to be grid or martingale ...

      $300K for 1-step and $300K for 2-step for a combined max $600K across both programs. You can merge smaller challenges up to those levels for each program, and you can scale past that of course.

      Hehehehe! 3) looks good on paper, but lack of liquidity will usually not work as you expect it to. Regarding 1) and 2), I use an excellent risk management EA called "Take a Break" to pause and suspend the EA I wrote during rollover, on 3 bull news ...

      Sure, but the same trades on FTMO and ICMarkets (when I could have an account there) for example did not have candles like MFF had on one weekend, and then another the next month or so. It wasn't even a gap, it was a huge candle spike about 2-3hrs ...

      I was referring to MyForexFunds, and it was massive slippage on indices during weekends and rollover that would get me, didn't matter how small a lot size, it would slip way past SL and close 4-5x further away. Swing trading over weekends just ...

      Yup, I had the same, on two accounts across many trades. The slippage was 4-5x larger than spreads, and never in my favor. Other accounts at the same time, even on Eightcap, did not have the same losses. I haven't tried MFF again in over a year. I ...
