{quote} Hey Koop, obvious first question, are they "deactivated" for any size new position? If so, is your stop loss on the nzdcad less than $250 (1%)? I know with your experience, these are probably stupid questions, just trying to blindly troubleshoot with you.
Yeah man, the NZDCAD is my first trade on the account, my rule of thumb is to risk 0.50% on the first set of trades to build a buffer.
So NZDCAD - 0.50%. Already moved SL to B.E.

Second attempted trade was AUDCAD at 1Lot (less than 0.50%), couldn't place the order.
Anything above 0.75 Lots renders me unable to place an order right now with the NZDCAD trade still open.

Based on my margin calculation, this shouldn't be this case with a $25k balance at 1:10. I still have more than enough margin.

Yes, just using basic round numbers without conversion rates, 1 lot should require 10K at 10:1, and that pair is probably between 8-9K after conversion. Have you asked support? I know by the time you get an answer, trade will probably be no good, but an explanation would be good.

I have 2 lots of gbpcad open with 100:1, using 2775, so would need 27750 with 10:1, but that's 2 lots and it's the gbp, which requires more than normal.

Yeah, Lost cause, trade moved long ago.
Probably should have at least entered with the 0.70 lots but it took some time trying out which position size would work.
Will definitely reach out to support for clarification.

Profit-Farmer complained about something similar ( on the regular 5ers plan though). Don't know how that was resolved.

Spreads are nice though, compared to that Itexsys shit "broker" they initially used. Execution is great too.

I'm going to have to start splitting my single positions into multiple mini/micro positions like you do if I'm ever going to hit that 400pips target though.

{quote} Any luck? Just got my credentials for phase 1 this morning.
Yea I finally did.

Unfortunately too late for me to initiate my home run plan. I was frothing at the mouth ready to load up all 4 lots long on the pound and let it run 125 pips for the instant gratification 5k trade in one swing. Had a suspicion we would see a dollar sell-off when the market opened for the week. Coulda woulda shoulda been on phase 3. Thank God it takes 3 days to get credentials. Now I'm all flustered chasing my tail around like a crazy dog.

Good luck on your phase 1

The amazing part about the credentials is this: When you pass phase 1 your account becomes disabled. Then it turns out you don't get new "credentials" for phase 2 they just load 50K into the same account and it becomes active again.

Excellent first day in the office.

Hope this continues.

For rest of the day, will be watching music and of course side by side charts.

It is my first day on the Accelerated - Emphatic plan.... all looks great, except something really strange....

I got my account and I had a problem logging in, I did everything, uninstalled , installed again (from their email link)
Finally after a couple of pm's I get to log in, and the account has one trade in it -0.98 cents

Now I did not mind the -0.98 cents but I sent some emails cause I want some answers, why, but no one has replied yet

Apart from that all is working nicely on the "Traders Global Group" Live account

Love the fact that I do not have to enter a stop loss/mandatory cause on the 5ers I am strike 2....not used to it,
when you are trading 5 platforms it gets busy sometimes

No, it starts at 50K, which is now at 47,800, only 300 away from bye-bye time.

Just wait for the summer program to fire up again and re-enter.
