Another ACG update. Yesterday, ACG updated their FAQ re Performance fee bonus. They don't do refunds, just the performance fee bonus. Before it was 0.25-0.5% of the account size, now it is just 0.25%. (While others give refunds or 112% refund) {image}
They haven't paid my last two performance bonuses. Getting a bit worried, but they still paid the full withdrawal amount.

Canada

I like them but it's strange that they cut this small cost. It seems so small regarding the payouts they have to pay and that they do for now.

{quote} I'm doing a new challenge with them after a long time. I'm experience the usual bad slippage and I have proof of that. Matchtrader has level II but that's just a fake thing in E8 because it's not considered. Let's say I have in EURUSD ask something like this: 100K 1.09350 500K 1.09351 1M 1.09352 If I buy just 1 lot in quiet hours, when the price almost doesn't move, I still get the usual 0.5/0.6 slippage. Not filled at 1.09350 or 1.09351 or 1.09352 which would be the maximum I would expect for 1 lot. This is something that E8 always had...

Hi Capablanca,

Thank you for your response. I too have noticed a bit of the same thing. I think it is designed to deter HFT of which I don't do. I've had 3 trades slipped several points in my favor. Try to always keep my trading under to radar so to speak. Using 2,3 or 4 lots. Most of my trades last from 45 mins to no more than 24 hrs. So far so good with this challenge. Using MT4 & MT5 for charting. Best of trades to you.

Maybe because they are pouring resources into the development of their custombuilt inhouse trading platform? Not sure.

It is another firm. They are never discussed in this forum.

I guess it will be a white label. It takes too much time and money to develop a trading plarform.

So I have downloaded the MT4 platform from FTUK. But I got MT5. Contacting support I learned, that they don't have MT4 anymore!

  1. Why then have the possibility to download it? And then get MT5. Jerks!
  2. All my tools have now vanished. My charts have indicators and EA's which I can now not use. I am starting from scratch.

And why??? MT4 is still available.

Well, they have one customer less.

They should know better they should use ctrader for non us and already have dxtrade or other for US traders, its a matter of time till metaquotes gets to those small brokers or prop firms still using 3rd whitelabel mt5 solutions

The same thing happened with FundedEngineer, they also removed mt4 option, which was available before. These prop firm owners doesn't understand that a lot of traders still use mt4. Not having that is a big "L" for them.
How you exit from trades, is all that matters..

{quote} A 200K account costs $997 and they will reimburse only $500. Bad. They are not even the cheapest.
OK, bad about refund, agreed. But besides FTMO on my list of only reliable props from which you will get payed. Well, so it seems to me.
5% ok, but only 100k account there. Would one agree?

Metaquotes are discontinuing mt4 entirely this year. So you should probably get used to 5.

It won't be in their control.

MetaQuotes will not issue new servers for MT4 and therefore there are capacity risks with props.

MT5 is hardly any different. Just a little less shit.

hmmmmmmm e8 reintroducing mt5 after losing mt4 ..... I'm starting to wonder if CFTC pressure was a complete smoke screen and the real reason for the crackdown was that Meta was pissed that props were paying brokers via grey labeling while meta got nothing.
