Not exactly correct about being booked. IC Markets offers an ECN, commission only account. They are the largest broker in the world by volume (not even close), so quite possible they have the liquidity to see zero or even negative spread during ...

Yes, something definitely not right. I am on ftmo-server and getting .2 on gbpusd.

I am in verification stage, and yes my spreads are better than any of my 5 other live broker accounts. Obviously, there must be an issue with different feeds/ servers. As i posted previously, although I had updated and was using new server at the ...

I'm sure I would've been pissed too, I was already in a challenge so even though I used the new server, I was still trading the old .lmax instruments. But if was already funded or under pressure of completing the challenge, absolutely agree it was ...

Nice, congrats. Started verification today. Actually just trading to knock out one of the day requirements, not really looking for any big moves the Friday before a 3 day weekend. Since I have new credentials, I no longer see the .lmax. I'm actually ...

I agree, I only had 2% drawdown overall, that rough day actually came when I was already well in profit.

This is what I am finding strange. I am in the challenge, I was flat end of day Friday, went to the new server market open this week. I still have .lmax pairs and they are the only tradeable pairs on my platform.

What stage? Challenge?

FTMO - For serious traders

I close all my trades every week, even though I am in the challenge. I am on MT4, on the new server, and still opening and closing .lmax instruments. It's actually the ONLY ones I can trade.

I see huge improvement in spreads. One of my favorite pairs, GBPAUD, was normally 6-7 pips all of Asia session on old server, getting it at 2.2 now.

Yes, much better conditions offshore and being in the US, I have no protection regardless. They tout the CFTC/NFA as the best regulation in the world, but no protection of funds whatsoever. The key offshore is spread the risk among 4-5 brokers, this ...

OANDA Discussion

Been trading offshore with "unregulated" brokers for 6+ years. I do not experience any cheating, tricks, ridiculous spreads, admin fees or anything OANDA customers experience. Not trying to be argumentative, but put down the OANDA Kool-aid for a ...

I am a swing trader as well, mostly weekly fib pivots, of course price action rules. You don't have to cut winners, simply re-enter when market opens. The only thing you miss is weekend gap, which sometimes will give you a better price anyway. Only ...

I have tried logging in with new server to no avail. However, I can still access and trade on old server. Just went into client area, top of page states: Due to unexpected technical difficulties, we were not able to migrate to the new server. We ...

When the FTMO day resets (6pm Eastern here in US), your MDL resets to 5K on a 100K account. If you carry -4990 into the day, you have a $10 buffer. That trade would need to be closed before 6PM, or it will count toward your next day MDL as it is ...

Good luck...my plan as well, I'm +6K in 6 days so far. I'm really stuck on the merging the 3 accounts though as a black swan could put you back to square 1. I don't trade the CHF at all, however could happen with other currencies as well. I was ...

If you do the max of 3 accounts, 300K, it would be 75K scale up, you will be trading a 600K account in 16 months. GOTTA GO BIG!!!!
