Shouldn't this be posted in the FTMO thread so Otakar can respond?

$1M FUNDING TRADERS

Thanks for the reply, FerruFx. May I know, though, the specific numbers I need to input in the Horizontal/Vertical Shift fields as I have not had much success using guesswork to move the dashboard to my desired location? While I'm at this, which ...

FFx Universal Strength Meter

I like this indicator. Many thanks, Ferrufx! But please, can anyone tell me the inputs so I could change the dashboard's location to the left downside corner ? It would be very much appreciated.

Yes, I agree. I'm targetting .6420; SL is at ~.6365 (nice, tight stop for my long trade from last week yet).

Too bad. But I believe a close reading of the rules at the outset would have spared you from your predicament. Are you sure you couldn't tweak your system such that you could still trade your funded account? What a waste it would be, otherwise, ...

E-mailed Support last night and today, I can now log on to my Client Area again. My trading performance, though, is a whole different story.

Hi, Otakar. I don't know if anyone else is having this issue so I'm posting this here to find out. Just a short while ago, I tried to log on to my Client Area to check my Challenge Account Matrix. Instead of being able to do it without any problems ...

That MT4 can be manipulated by unscrupulous brokers (via the infamous virtual dealer plug-in, for one) is an open secret, indeed. But compared to similar prop shops like TopstepFX which uses its own MT4 platform as simulator, I think the fact that ...

Hi, peterbabs. Is Otakar saying that some funded traders are actually functioning as signal providers, in effect, for larger accounts held at FTMO?

But you can still make it, mckay. Wasn't there a trader who reportedly gained 10% on his very first day? Just make sure your account ends up with a balance greater than your initial capital so you'll be able to take the Challenge again for free!

Sorry to hear that, anthon25. You were doing very well initially. What happened? Did you breach your loss limits? Just curious: did you code your EA yourself or was it someone else's? If I remember correctly, there was a trader from India who ...

Thanks for the input, maahome. It does sound simple when you state it like that. I guess we can just use the "permitted loss" amounts in our Account Metrix as a guide to make sure no rule is violated? Sorry if this is getting tiresome, but I just ...

Thanks for taking the time to reply, Otakar. TBH, though, I'm now more confused than ever. Just when I thought I had it figured out, I find I have more questions begging for answers. Such as: 1. If you say that the $500 daily loss is constant in ...

Are you sure about this, dnabrasil? Maybe we need to have Otakar enlighten us on this matter once and for all.

Took me a while to get this, but to keep it simple, this is all we need to remember as far as losses are concerned: On a $10 k account, your balance (inclusive of commissions/swaps) should never go below $9500 per trading day nor below $9000 in ...

As I understand it, open losses are factored in; not just closed losing trades. Best to take note of your permitted loss for the day (which can go beyond $500 depending on your balance/equity) -- and to never exceed that.

What's interesting is that some FCA-regulated brokers are still offering high leverage as before. Perhaps with Brexit on the horizon, London isn't about to relinquish its status as the world's forex hub by requiring brokers to adhere to rules ...

Congrats to all recent Challenge passers. Came pretty close in my last try. but thought it best to just give it another go (for free, thankfully) sometime soon. Hope to eventually join you guys one fine day!
