What? How come? Don't you set a Stop Loss?

prop firm new model - my trading journey

I think it's useful to be aware of other options out there (besides the usual suspects like FTMO) for those interested in getting funded as forex traders. As a matter of fact, I'm trying out myforexfunds soon. The pros: lower fees, fast bi-weekly ...

prop firm new model - my trading journey

Today, I had a problem connecting to my Pepperstone account initially. The platform has been freezing intermittently as well. What gives?

One of the funded traders interviewed by Pavel on YouTube used EA's for, I believe, passing five challenges. And he's still using them for trading his funded accounts. Look it up...

I second that, Rmg. And though it wasn't your desired result, thanks for sharing, nevertheless.

That must have been tough, leweg1. Passing the much-harder Evaluation phase but not making the Verification. If it's any consolation, the guy in that last video went thru the same thing (and he had SIX failed attempts before finally getting funded). ...

All these opinions, it seems to me, are very much like the broker reviews on Forex Peace Army. Some people will swear by say, IC Markets. Others will call it a scam. My personal experience trading with LMAX years ago won't make me recommend them, ...

Good of you to share that, Swing. One thing that doesn't quite make sense to me is why closing an existing trade within that window is also disallowed. I can understand not executing a news trade but what might the reason be for the former? What if ...

Liked this new video by Simon. Hope you do, too! video

FTMO - For serious traders

As I recall, you were asking very basic questions that would have been answered in the FAQ's to be found on the FTMO website or could have been best clarified --and fast--by chatting with Support. To ask at a forum, you run the risk of being fed ...

It puzzles me why certain prop shops do not allow their funded traders to trade a live account and instead merely mirror demo trades on the firm's real accounts. I'm interested to hear 5%ers's take on this business model.

Hi, Swing. Are you saying you've passed both the Challenge and Verification stages for all your three $100 k accounts? If so, congrats! That's no mean feat. Are they going to interview you? They should, imo, since that's a first (if I'm not ...

Hi, AK386. I'll be cruel to be kind. If you can't even be bothered to read the FAQ's on the FTMO website, what makes you sure you're ready to take on the Challenge? I suggest that instead of posting your questions here, you're better off chatting ...

I'm surprised you still chose the LMAX feed for the Challenge despite the reported technical problems. Could it be the bread-and-water diet you're on? May I suggest that FTMO first fix all the bugs in their proprietary platform before requiring ...

Yes, red-news event coming up. Looks NZD positive to me, technically speaking...

NZD/USD

Hi, abdurr... It seems to me only fair for FTMO to make a correction on your funded account (like they did for S4F's verification) since there were irrefutable technical problems from their end. I think, though, that FTMO's preference is for traders ...
