MFF and FTMO (despite these late news about FTMO payout refusals).

Thanks very much. I know you have a lot of experience with these things, so I value your opinion.

I thought you might mention those two.

I've been trying to teach my nephew a bit about trading. He's developed his own "system" (it actually doesn't look terrible at all) which is now doing ok for him trading 6B and 6E futures on demo.

He has very little capital, definitely not enough to trade futures, and wants to try out his system on a "forex funded account offer", trading GBP/USD and EUR/USD instead, which seems perfectly reasonable to me.

I think FTMO's requirement for 10% profit in 30 days, albeit with a 2-week extension available if you're half-way there, might be asking a bit too much.

MFF looks a better bet for him, but at the moment that's Metatrader only, which he won't use (and I support that decision, to be honest).

So it looks like his answer is probably to wait for MFF to have Ctrader available, which they say will be soon-ish, and try that.

Thanks again for your input!

Happy to see someone who thinks MT is of no use and prefers cTrader!
I'm not so sure about MFF introducing cTrader so soon as they had been promising it since they launched a few years back and haven't introduced it yet. The only change is they announced it now officially. So let's see. They have no chance to deny it now as they already did in once the past

One (terrible) option is to copy trades from cTrader to MT. Not as good as having native cTrader account but it can be made to work

well the funny thing is that cTrader (Spotware) was actually founded by two russian guys, one of which is its current CEO...

if they are also russian it is a problem however, because they know many traders are looking for ctrader, may be, ctrader will not be target as MT because MT is making right now 95% of all the forex transactions in the world.

To kill MT is like to get free 95% of market share... that would be a disaster in liquidity with major problems... or market disorder and volatility.

But I guess that they will be able to run MT somehow.

Signed up for a 25K "The Knight" one step challenge on TFT, oooooooo, predictably childish. No auto credentials?

Wow, they send me 2 marketing emails every single day. Maybe they could get up to speed on the credential thing.

But at least they have cute emojis and stuff. Just what every 56 year old gravitates towards. Guess I'm

By the way, did you manage to hang on, or did you get stopped out?

That's mildly understated imo. I wrote them off long ago due to their dog trading conditions.

-Maybe they are planning to roll out updates, one-by-one, so that they can advertise each one of them separately, as such a great gift that is so worthy of praise. We would be so blessed.

I thought they were fine before they changed servers and started charging sky high commissions, especially on indicies. Their spreads were a bit wide, but was acceptable.

Good luck!
I looked into it when they launched but the max loss is a trailing one so I gave up.

Are you referring to indexes or forex ?

On forex they're not cheap but we can work with it.
EURUSD spread is around 0.5 to 0.7, execution is 0.2 to 0.3 in low lots and cost is 0.005% over the USD amount (so aprox 5.3 per lot, round turn).
Not the best around but it's not a catastrophe either.

Indexes I have no experience but I see people screaming in the prop group against them, saying it's impossible to trade indexes there.

correct for FX is decent, and spread on EURUSD arrive many times to 0, but stays aroun 1-2-3 points on liquid hours

when it is 0-1 is very decent, then slippage if they cheat.. don't know I used the free trials to check it.
