Just chiming in for anyone wondering about server speeds with a VPS. I'm currently in Southeastern USA. My home internet is fiber optics dedicated 500mpbs download, 500mbps upload (500/500). My computer is 1TB NVME, Intel core i7-10700 CPU @ ...

I'm chiming in to correct a previous statement I made several months ago. Nothing to do with the childish nonsense above. I am finding the 1:6 margin requirements absolutely sufficient. It may not seem like a lot to some of you, but the difference ...

@the5ers Just saw all the updates on the website. I saw some changes but a consistent discrepancy. The low risk accounts, are they still 1:5 margin or are they now 1:6? image

I don't mean this in an argumentative way. It doesn't matter what you think makes sense with 3 funded accounts. It can make perfect sense for someone else. The bottom line is its offered, so I wanted to understand more about it, not try to ...

I found it. I knew I read this before. So now we know multiple means 3. And yes, 3 different strategies.

I don't care about the reasons why. I agree with you but I still don't care. People have reasons for the things they do. Who cares what pros you know do, others don't do it. I'm just trying to find the intent or reason for this rule. Or the ...

Will need verification on this but I believe the 3 accounts can't run the same strategy. The whole thing is kind of confusing. So if I run 3x 80k profits and keep earning. Are you saying someone can end up managing 3+m$ running the same strategy?? ...

I don't actually care if anyone thinks its a scam or not. And I don't think they use challenge fees to pay out the profit splits. But I gotta respond to this cause I think its funny. Do you even understand what financial markets are? Whenever you ...

Wow, you out did yourself with the data and pictures. Thanks very much for this. Plainly put, the servers at the5ers are really good. I've never trusted ICMarkets. I've had conversations with LP's and even people at brokerage houses who giggle at ...

It's perfectly okay. Thanks for putting in the effort. . Yeah, so this happening on Sunday is always normal. If it isn't NY close, you'll end up with the extra daily bar. But onto the second part, spreads will always increase at 5pm EST (NY ...

Just want to clarify with you. It's okay now because the challenges are still on the FTMO-Server, only the free trials went to that demo account. I just logged in to check the economic calendar for the week and saw the message at the top. That was ...

This was an excellent interview. Your philosophies are very much in line with my own, but they are something I didn't realize until after becoming profitable. So it was really nice seeing someone in your position share them, so that more traders can ...

Question for you, is this on market open after the weekends or every day? I've seen it get done to help people avoid large market gaps that can hit their SL's after the weekend. Curious if its an everyday occurrence. Sounds weird that its only on ...

Well, FTMO has stated they have a fail rate of about 92%. So it's not a secret. Thats also in line with European brokerages which are about 85% (you can easily look this up with the implementation of ESMA regulations in 2017). But you can't blame ...

Using last election as an example, market range was much tigher once NY closed. Then it trended the whole week after it was announced Trump won. The consistent part will always be that price ends up at a supply and demand zone, which we're at on ...

FTMO - For serious traders

FTMO's response is the perfect example why people shouldn't just try and defend every single thing they do wrong. They've made the changes before with server spreads and now working on another issue so things run smoothly. On a separate note, taking ...

I did the same thing. Wasn't gonna risk going negative to push myself over 10%. The break will be good, too. Knock it out of the park on the retry.

FTMO - For serious traders

Every account I've managed in the past always used a HWM. It allows for profit splits to take place without having to reset the entire account. A % based trader like myself, after taking a loss, the monetary amount of my % risk would be slightly ...

How did you go from saying polite reminder to whining like a 5 year old? You've got some serious emotional/mental issue if you circling the drain of emotions that way. That psychology is not helpful to trading! You must have some serious revenge ...
