I was asked how do I go about tackling the 10% challenge on another thread. Plus, personally got some PMs about it. So, I will post my thoughts here so it’s all in one place. Firstly, the challenge of getting 10% in about 20 trading days is tough - ...

Those that can't see the undeniable truth of this ... well there is no hope for them. It is why I am doing exactly the same as you and journaling my progress too We get he same old trolls spouting their nonsense on a regular basis. I am ...

FTMO - For serious traders

Same for me. Here's spread comparison with 3 brokers on EURGBP which is usually very small spread but 3 pips on FTMO LMAX. image

FTMO - For serious traders

I have a similar spreadsheet to keep track of things. (Still hard though) But way I understand the consistency rules the 4 trades you took on Day 1 is below the minimum threshold for the week which comes out as minimum 5 trades per day.

Hi Mtinifx, Following your thread with interest as you are doing something similar to me I also started using MyForexFunds last month or so ago. I'm documenting my own journey (since July) in my own thread and added ...

Yes agree that would change things dramatically. But YOU are not claiming that you know that the $1k payout is in fact a restriction. That was the main point I was wanting clarification on. The only person saying this is Koop. I would like to know ...

Yes I use a trade copier for those accounts that I decide to trade that way. I use AutoFX Pro which is a paid one. I used to use a free one called FX Blue, which seemed very good but then it missed a trade. Don't know if it was me not had it setup ...

Yes, my mistake - a typo - verification stage is still 5%, my bad - Sorry if I startled you Both bonuses ? - you referring to MFF? I have had only two bi-weekly payouts to date from them and details are as above in ...

My payouts were $300+ and then $760 approx. I think I've seen elsewhere on social media groups of payouts larger than $1k. (Can't recall max I've seen will have to look back on the posts). I did as much due diligence as you can with a new company ...

Finally got onto the forum and around to making another update. Very busy with family stuff and work last few weeks, but still managing to fit in my trading where I can. Lots to report, as a lot happening with my funded trading journey recently. ...

I think it is something to do with GMT offset ... but not quite as straight forward. Here's the results of my analysis. Let's focus on GBPUSD trades on 1st October that you have identified as not matching the chart activity. But if you plot and make ...

+1000%? It's Done Now, +10000% next?

I've told you how trading the news restriction works (with image pulled direct from FTMO rules page supporting it). Plus pipmaster now has reconfirmed it too. That's 3 sources all saying the same thing. There is nothing more that we (or others) ...

Hey, don't take this as criticism (and its great that you have added a trade explorer so as to be more transparent). Well done. But why are you messing about with demo if this is a repeatable skill and you have confidence in it? Seriously why not do ...

+1000%? It's Done Now, +10000% next?

You are over complicating it and clearly have not understood how the daily loss limit works. You dont have to track every trade as you make out. It's very simple. Start of day you know what balance your account cant drop below. That is the only ...

Thanks. I've had no server issues at all with FTMO, though not the best person to give an assessment on last week as wasn't closely watching with been on holiday. I've got no real concerns with Enfoid. I've done my due-diligence and there is plenty ...

Real good and honest post. It's a useful reminder that the life of a trader is not always just win, win, win. A key part of trading well is dealing with the psychological aspects. Its how we handle these setbacks, applying the lessons learned and ...

Well I was on holiday last week. I wish I would have just focused on relaxing ... instead I couldn't resist placing some pending orders at key levels to enter trades while I was out and about enjoying myself. Well those didn't work out too well - ...

Thanks for posting. But I think you are mistaken. It is pretty clear statement as to how the news restriction applies to only certain pairs. Continuing my example, if there is CAD news it restricts you from trading CAD pairs ONLY. You are free to ...

Real sorry to hear about this. Hope it gets fully resolved. But you mentioned you went straight in for a 500k ... at $495 fee for each $100k you paid approx $2,500 in fees assuming the latest offer they are promoting (unless you got an extra special ...
