{quote} no rules? They also prohibit DCA which they even wrongly call Martingale. I better avoid them as they don't seem to like copy trading either
I haven't seen anything about DCA in CTI.

What I saw in T&C, besides the 60 rule, is this:

It is in the definition how one is defining martingale strategies as this is prohibited at CTI. If you already cannot enter with same lot size when you are in drawdown, then this is also DCA considered (normally), but here as Martingale. So it depends on the definition as each prop can interpret this differently.

I also would say in addition the statistic facts I got from different websites for being consistent profitable with or without trading experience, it depends on volume and volatility too (more is better).

So for daytrading you need low transaction cost to get in and out easily. So heavy volume traded products are better. Then you also need some volatility as you can only profit from movements in one direction.

So daytrading EURUSD (for volume focus) or GBPJPY (for volatility focus) is best here in FX (if you want to daytrade FX).

Swing Trading should be done preferable on Majors in FX (if you want to swing trade FX). [Swing trading on Exotics can be a nightmare from time to time.]

Daytrading non-FX which is easier should be done on SP500 or Nasdaq100 (first or preferable before you consider other products).
Also swing trading on those products.

If anyone is trading Gold it is hybrid of FX and commodity so should be easier than pure FX trading but more difficult than Indices trading.

Again daytrading should be 3 to 4 times more difficult than swing trading (compared on same asset class).

Also if you daytrade you are much more sensitive to any relevant news. So you would need a newsfeed with good coverage and fast realtime feed here too. On swing trading those news can be much less important and not so fast reaction is needed. On daytrading you need to check whether to be flat before important news comes out.

Interesting, I'm guessing SP500 and NAS would be so much easier becasue they have a lot of days when they are just trending in one direction. When talking about trading different asset classes what would a proffesional like yourself say that is the optimal backtesting data for a strategy? Personally I am trading a system that has had really good performance during the last 2 years on 2 instuments (eu and uc) with around 200 trades worth of data. Would you consider that sufficient in your line of work or would you go for a year more as in theory we would have 3 different market conditions in the last 3 years. This year pretty much consolidation, last year bearish, the year before that bull run. Also will want to work on a second strat bases around similar concepts I trade rn so just wanted to see how a professional would think of that. Just trying to get better in this game of trading after finally seeing results.

I do not think there is a specific time period you need at least. It really depends. 6 months can be sometimes sufficient (on tick data for example) versus sometimes you would need 10 years of data. But the key is to adapt over time, as there is always sometimes a new shift in the market where you quickly need to adjust your settings. And that varies too. So the key is to look on new data and whether it fits still within the old model or you need to adapt some settings of it. That is my opinion on that.

I can't see anything preventing martingale in CTI (except Martingale EAs)

cannot does not mean anything you know...because then it is just a grey hidden rule ? (as you get know this in detail when you failed because of that (if they ever explained in full detail to you)).

So it's an hidden rule ? I thought this was a rule written in CTI site.
Anyway, doesn't affect me. I don't martingale.

As long as one does not open second trade 1 xxx is not martingale.

First trade 1 lot..second position onwards, 0.9, 0.8, o.5 lots is not martingale.

1 lot, 2 lots, 3 lots, 5 lots is martingale
Intraday only.

Not by CTI. They prohibit adding position of ANY size while at least one open is on loss. They consider it all Martingale. Confirmed on their Discord.

Regarding the statistics of the traders vs profitable ones. I wonder what would happen if those 99.3% would demo trade for 5 years several hours straight instead of gambling.
-If more traders were willing and able to do that, then more traders would be consistently profitable. Period.

The question is then, if you want to build your position on multiple entries if each position needed to be with higher floating profit or just the average price of all orders?.

If that's the case then it's an HIDDEN rule. Totally hidden.
I would like to see that. What keywords should I search in their Discord ?
