Didn't TPT also have some weird % withholding rule on payouts to pay taxes in their jurisdiction.

Takisd,

Is the CFD market for indices significantly smaller than US futures? Filling 30 lots of Dow mini futures (= 150 lots @ MFF) & 150 S&P mini (= 7500 lots @ mff) is common in futures time of sales data during US session. Have you tried to push your lot size past 100 in split orders @ MFF?

It's actual comical at this point.
-Yeah. That's one perspective. When you consider blessings like this and the rate of taxation (among many other insanities) in the good ol' land of the free, the idea of relocating probably starts to feel inevitable for some; aggressive tactics may not even be needed.

Not in the last 7 or 8 months. If so that should have been before

Information for those interested because these kind of details are usually not so known.
Some companies allow the payout on a specific day and if we don't request it runs another cycle of 14, 15 or 30 days until we have again a chance of requesting a payout.
On The Funded Trader I missed the payout date but I could request it some days after.
They establish 14 days for the payout date (it's an old account) but it can be on 14th or any day later. Just need to press the bottom to request it anytime.
Of course that after each payout they start counting 14 days again since the 1st trading day.
This is a good thing IMO. A pity that their payout process is so bad.

Btw, Finotive is also like this. We may request payout at any time, provided that it was 7 days since the last (and 2 trading days minimum)

I am either taking 10 lot clicks or 100 lot clicks at MFF depending on the strategy I apply. On 100 lots I am getting slippage that is small. I suspect its execution time as you have to go from MFF -> CFD provider - > Potential another cfd provider or to futures. The execution time is probably 1second or slightly more. Explains the small slippage. (I do not get 1 second execution time to be clear. My execution time is 300ms which is mt4 standard).
On 10 lot clicks, I get little/no slipping at all all the way up to 150-200 lots. (Remember I am copying on 2 other accounts). To hit 600 lots (120 DM) in the market and beat all competitors is problematic on the best of days. The provider between me and the market is also likely front running me for their clip of the ticket decreasing the quality of the fill.

Mini futures is a massive pool of sharks, its easier to compete with them on spot cfd's than trying to execute on book in a futures platform.

Hi, wanted to ask you guys about news. I know that you shouldn't trade high impact news because the slippage and spread increases a lot. But I wonder how low impact news (based on forex factory) woould impact that, is it relatively the same then as if there was no news? I'm looking to trade USOIL and EUR/USD which is a pair that obviously has a news announcment pretty much everyday. Sorry if this comes as dumb, I used to trade crypto where there was almost no news lol.

E8 has this in the site regarding payouts:


How can I withdraw my profits from my funded account?

Simply request a pay-out at: https://e8x.e8funding.com/funded-center/withdrawal for any profits generated at the end of your 14-day trading period and we will promptly process your payment. The first payment will be eligible after 8 calendar days (8 days from the first day of the first trade). All other withdrawals can be submitted on a 14-day basis. You will see your current withdrawal eligibility day in your E8X Dashboard. The pay-outs are processed within 1-2 business days (excluding weekends). After that, You will receive profits in 1-3 Business days. Overall the full process may take up to 2-5 business days. can receive your profits via Letsdeel.com using regular Bank Transfer, PayPal, Revolut, Wisepay, Payoneer, or in cryptocurrency via Coinbase. We don’t charge any commissions for withdrawals. However, the processor of the withdrawal may charge some fees.

After the contract is approved, you will receive an e-mail that you can trade again, bear in mind, that you keep your current balance, which is set after withdrawal as a scaled balance thanks to our scaling program.

You don’t need to score any minimum profit to receive your 80% share. Whatever amount of profit you generate, that is what is split 80/20 and paid to the trader.

However in the traders agreement they have this:

This seems contradictory. It is monthly or biweekly ? And I'm reading correctly that the first payout is after 8 days ?

To the folks who don't understand slippage. At 2pm EST there is FOMC minutes, best not be in a trade during and around that time.

I just recently reached 400K funding with MFF, 360K with <1% risk puts me @ 100 lots on my tightest sl (varies 30-150 points). I can tolerate up to 3 points average slippage in + out if I have to go deeper in market depth for total fill, so I was considering pushing the envelope on my volume to test their limitations. My order execution EA can auto split total ticket size by specified amounts and send them all to market.

If I understand you correctly, are you saying that when you split your 150-200 lot total ticket by 10 lot clicks the slippage has been minimal?

Yes. I don't experience slippage that by your writing would affect you. Although 30 points (I assume thats 3$ of price change) is a very tight stop for big size. But yes, if you cut the size per click you get better fills generally.

I track the 5 min release bar impact of every US session news release...

Avoid = US unemployment, US CPI, FOMC/ECB rate/announcement and last 3 reports US UoM Consumer Sentiment
Hit or miss = US Core PCE, US Flash manufacturing/services, US ism manufacturing/services, US jolts job
Ignore = everything else

Note.... this is during us session, if you're trading other currency pairs during UK hours there are way more reports to worry about.

Variable SL = $30-$150 of price change on U30, I can deal with $3 slippage on average getting in & out.

Tight stops are the way to go..

I hardly notice slippage, I manually split entries and just rack up size..
