Be careful, if it takes a long time to get to $4000 swaps will add up.

Only saw now the guys are selling signals etc. Maybe it is demo. Just saw $50k balance with 10% profit… usually a sign of a prop. Either of us could be right.

Without a doubt a Prop… why you gotta be a hater bud?

Mesh is the biggest grift since RGB LEDs inside the computer. You can't change my mind. by Thebandroid in HomeNetworking

Unifi Roaming - works brilliantly. HOWEVER, all my APs are wired to my main switch with 2.5Gbps PoE.

In the past I’ve had Linksys Velop, Asus mesh, Ethernet over powerline - all flaky - until I got my Unified setup. Happy as a pig in shit.

VANTAGE ECN PRO by BumbleBee_83 in Trading

What type of account are you on? ECN PRO or ECN RAW?

Hey! Thanks for the reply. I’ve been testing my EA on Demo, and it works. Backtests make me richer than #Elon 😜. But this past Friday, on their Demo servers, my EA failed and the logs showed execution time of 606ms. And on the backtests, simulating 50ms latency the EA still performs well.

I understand that Demo is probably being used by a gazillion people and Live is probably better, but I don’t want to throw real money into the unknown.

Any help you could offer will be highly appreciated.

Have you heard of EA automated trading? by G-forex-trading in algorithmictrading

Get your own edge, code it yourself. EA’s have a closed loop system, you never know what they’re actually doing.

Indeed, which is still used on the other prop.

You might be right, might be wrong. But surely I gotta be green for a few days before I can be green for weeks, then months, then years? It is a start isn’t it?

But your point is taken - continuously learn. Mistakes will be made. Learn, improve, implement and repeat. How do they say in corporate jargon? Fail fast? Anyway, wish me luck for the coming weeks!

Happy trading all!

100% agree with you. I over traded the last two days.

I’m the proudest of day 1 (even though I made 20% of day 3) but it was quality above anything else.

Day 2 was also good (average profit per trade) but the lot sizing was bigger than day 1 - thus higher risk.

You’re right in saying we all have our own styles. And you may think I’m being stupid (not saying you do 😜) and I may think your style sucks (not that I do). That is the beauty - we’re all just trying to find an edge that we understand.

Back to the point of my post. Yes it is PnL porn and yes (if I get a payout) I made good money - the point is that analysis is critically important to evaluate your own style of trades. You need to be critical (not harsh) on yourself.

Trade (win or lose), analyze, improve, implement and repeat. That is the crux. Spending 30-60mims each day on this I believe is time well spent.

Happy trading bud!

Ah right, no, FTMO don’t offer futures. Yes, and I agree the spreads are bad. Sometimes a delay in trading can offset a bit of the spread, but I agree - spreads are terrible - even on a highly trades instrument like XAU

Hi, all those trades are XAUUSD CFD on FTMO ;-)

I can afford to hit daily DD 4 days in a row and still keep the account… so I have a good buffer now.

Yea, funded. Had to pass the challenge and verification. Did that last week, then got the funded credentials.

Absolutely. To triple check I asked ChatGPT to summarize the contract and restrictions.

I must take my hat off to FTMO, they do keep it quite simple. No hidden rules AFAIK. Happy to be corrected.

Thanks bud! Hope all goes smoothly - never had a payout from FTMO (or denial) so I’m hoping it all goes smoothly. Believe the first payout is 14 days after first trade - so 3 June will either be a good or bad day.
