It doesn't affect my trading much, they generally have technical issues during rollover and i am never in a rollover trade.

I don't know whats going on. My feed is working but all the prices are strangely away from the market. Dow 100 points off and gold 2dollars. I restarted, gold fixed but dow is still way off.

He traded FX... not sure if he still does but in the 80s and 90s he did as far as i remember and he was good. Did a 300% year or something then wrote the books he has.

Easiest way to pass is to make a tight stop big volume swing trade. When market goes flat or rangey, these traders stop making money though. To the person asking where she said she went back to work, its in the video when she "Returned" where she ...

Dno, I've been trading for a living for quite some time. To me it sounds like she isnt psychologically ready to put everything into it and is hedging her self. Which to me is a recipe to fail at trading. But thats just me, hence the weird part.

Her story is weird. She took it, she passed, she got profit split she kept it in. She says shes moving out FTMO is great lala. Then she does an update video, she moved to the new place but went back to work?

Because then i'd have to widen my pip target and in the last 15 years I just worked on lowering the two because going for larger pips has essentially cost me a lot over the years. Right now I have passed challenge 1, am at 5.1% on challenge two (4 ...

What was the failure? Daily loss? That seems to be the scariest one. I am running such tight stops because of that figure vs profit requirement that some of my losers were actually winners that lost cos of tight stops.

Closed out two more baskets and then shut off the EA until monday (I don't allow friday and its too close to rollover to let it open more trades, i would do this if it were a live account anyway). Increased lot size and profit size now for ...

I am actually using the set up with high risk to push the extremes every 100% i am increasing lot size. The 37$ DD occured after 100% return, so its actually like 20% dd. which isn't so bad for small accounts that are doubling.

Ok so my test got out of dd quite easily. It seems that volatility generally gets the trades out due to the hedge. Deposit: 100 Profit: 209 MaxDD: 37.58 Thats 3 weeks of trading v1.25 on xauusd/eurusdx4

Can make more than a good living with 300k capital and stay within the params. I am trade copying from my account which i live off already but 300k is plenty for anyone. I might do 5 challenges to have 2 backups. Don't like trading demo though it ...

Half the time with FTMO its not getting trigger happy. Sitting at 1.6% on account number 2 after 3 trading days which means 4 as well cos I never trade fridays (US session is too short and I don't hold weekends). These prop firm challenges are fun ...

Verification. I have paid for 3 now. The verification part will be easier unless the market decides to range very very tightly, which i doubt.
