There is something called an accountability partner. For many people that is a turning point, where they are checking in once a day/weekly with each other to take accountability for their screw ups, and of course accountability for when you did ...

(binned per thread starter’s request) Trading Challenge Partner

@Vitek-ftmo Hey, ftmo trader here. So I noticed the change in US30 before the email even got sent out. Essentially it got split 10 to 1. But I have a question, did this have anything to do with increasing swap fees? Cause it is ridiculous how much ...

FTMO - For serious traders

For me, its a small inconvenience but if your current format is the best option in reducing human error, I understand why its best to keep it as it is. You all have continued to streamline all processes anyway.

FTMO - For serious traders

Hey FTMO, So the new 80/20 and 90/10 profit splits are great, thank you for that. But is there any way to stop getting new accounts every profit split? It's the one thing I don't look forward to. Is there a way to just reset the account back to its ...

Are we suppose to email someone when we finish a stage in the summer program or is that automatic?

Unfortunately, just FX. And even the FX is limited to 28 pairs.

Well good luck with that. If its a winning strategy be careful changing it to fit into a challenge/evaluation. Only thing I can recommend is something like my Risk Assist. You can have a coder make one for you fairly cheap (around $50) and have it ...

Two pairs I especially dislike! I can't with them wicks. If I ever trade them I switch over to Heiken Ashi candles to drown out some of that noise. Haha. Once things got back to normal I couldn't be a hermit anymore! Just went back to traveling, ...

Depends on the pair. 2 lots on GCHF needs $27,000 in margin. He wouldn't have enough in his account. He would have enough for AUDUSD, that only needs about $14900. When calculating margin its important to remember that if the currency is stronger ...

max exposure has nothing to do with your trading size. You can, for instance, open 2 lots so long as the loss on that particular trading pair doesn't exceed 250$. The exposure and monetary value simply mean if you open 1 trade, the maximum monetary ...

"I do work to 10% if I go over by 5% it’s not an issue" -allinazi Because he's playing devil's advocate. He's a more responsible trader than his argument would suggest. Forum's have a way of making people lose themselves to the argument, lol.

It's people like you that feed other people's arguments. You've obviously NEVER traded a large account. 30% drawdown never makes sense in a professional environment. There is something called a fiduciary relationship! If you can't trade a small ...

Dude, that probably works with some of these other folks but thats pushing it with me. I actually DO trade funds for other people. I've shown people a 7 figure account on here. The idea that a firm with no limitations other than risk can hand out up ...

The5ers - Trading & Growth Program

Yes, but its not your money, its theirs. Every person has a different risk tolerance. I've traded funds for investors directly, some people feel comfortable with just 5%, others 15%. 5ers risk tolerance is 4%, its that simple. If you feel ...

Stop making too much sense right now! Of course everybody needs 75% DD to make 1%. With all the market manipulation and broker manipulation, these prop firms are scams for not allowing everyone to use 100% of account. Hold up hold up, here's my ...

No, they aren't transferring funds to you. They are designating an account for you to trade. There is a lot more information and data posted before by Trader-IT about spread. Just go back a few pages, read and find it.

I asked the same thing with another firm, they said it was fine, but with 5ers, it didn't really matter cause you still had a profit split from the evaluation. I think the profit split from the evaluation is gone now (probably too many people wiping ...

Right on. There are always variations in speed when its over the internet vs on the same computer. And that's slightly increased when there are differences in brokers. So using a 30$ VPS to run more than one MT4, and free copy software like fxblue's ...

My thing was I couldn't find any VPS speed data even though people have asked. On a different note, 122 if you are sitting there executing trades I don't think will be a huge deal. My PC can handle anything I throw at it (8 core 16 hyperthread), I ...
