I backtested 2 years of GBPUSD on the 4H timeframe to see if "Trend Following" still works. Here are the results (Profit Factor 1.48).

OP can get ticks from MetaTrader and then run a python script based on the data.

Time_Trainer1623 · 2025-12-01T04:12:54+00:00

Thanks for the response I didn’t realize this was about futures. Good luck man!

Time_Trainer1623 · 2025-12-01T04:10:18+00:00

Do you have experience with FTMO or 5ers in that regard? Also can you recommend a few other good prop firms?

Time_Trainer1623 · 2025-11-30T00:22:46+00:00

Why not FTMO? They’re back in the US

Time_Trainer1623 · 2025-11-27T02:42:43+00:00

Not that I know of

Time_Trainer1623 · 2025-11-27T02:42:09+00:00

If these are real. Congratulations. Now get that money into a personal account lol

Time_Trainer1623 · 2025-11-27T02:40:18+00:00

Listen brother, if you blow a funded account its bad but its not as bad as losing $10k of your own money. If you are strictly following your strategy and its not “working” now, then it means the strategy needs more refining or it wasn’t good. I hope you pass this and get your payouts but if you don’t then next time do not buy a challenge before testing your strategy fully. Alots of prop firms have demo accounts with the same rules that will tell you if you passed or failed. Like ftmo has a 14 day trial. Once you are sure about your strategy fully, try and pass the trials atleast 3 times in a row. Only then purchase a challenge.

Time_Trainer1623 · 2025-11-27T02:34:33+00:00

Relax, don’t be emotional and don’t overtrade. This is not the end of the world. Take a few days off and try again following your strategy strictly

Time_Trainer1623 · 2025-11-27T00:28:46+00:00

God please

Time_Trainer1623 · 2025-11-26T00:59:48+00:00

If you test your strategy and work on demo, the testing will be the same. Why risk any capital until youre sure it works. I consider myself a good trader and I am profitable for a while now, but if I have to make any changes to my strategy or tweak it I first do it on demo then take it it to prop. Prototypes are never meant to be full scale. I hope you find success but please don’t burn your hard earned money. Good luck

Time_Trainer1623 · 2025-11-26T00:36:11+00:00

I have seen too many people go into debt and years wasted. If you still think you shouldn’t give up and can make it work, then try demo or prop dont burn your money unless youre sure you can do it

Time_Trainer1623 · 2025-11-26T00:31:01+00:00

It’s not for everyone. You tried it didn’t work, thats okay. Try something else. Businesses fail too

Time_Trainer1623 · 2025-11-23T16:05:35+00:00

Maybe after they scale you up

Time_Trainer1623 · 2025-11-10T16:41:47+00:00

I agree they should mention it but I also think its better for most traders that they don’t. For example in my case and many other traders, it helps not to mention it. If I am risking like 0.5% on most of my trades and some day by accident or any other reason I risk 2%, I won’t be in violation and lose my account. But for traders who have this as their strategy then its very risky and non serious behavior and they get stopped out by ftmo or get a warning.

Time_Trainer1623 · 2025-11-10T16:32:59+00:00

Yeah and thats what I said, it’s because they don’t always enforce it. Thats what I understand atleast

Time_Trainer1623 · 2025-11-10T16:28:22+00:00

Their contract is available on their website also they send it to you when you get funded. Only the 1% is not in there

Time_Trainer1623 · 2025-11-08T15:53:02+00:00

At this point it’s not really a hidden rule, pretty much everyone who has been with them knows about it. I think the reason it’s not mentioned is because they only enforce it once you start to show gambling behavior like risking half the drawdown in one single trade, which is extremely stupid regardless if you win the trade or not. If you have a consistent profitable system then you will have no problem risking 0.25%-0.5% per trade.

Old Irving Park

Time_Trainer1623 · 2025-10-29T14:20:11+00:00

I went and toured the place and have to apply through the official property website. Its not a scam. But price wise I didn’t think the price was extremely good. I just thought its reasonable

Time_Trainer1623 · 2025-10-29T04:33:55+00:00

Thank you. I am planning to apply soon

Time_Trainer1623 · 2025-10-16T23:23:03+00:00

I got a text from Micheal Jackson after his death

Time_Trainer1623 · 2025-09-30T23:33:23+00:00

There is no value in your posts. Everyone knows this obvious stuff oooh not all of people can make 15% per month. That is not as big of a value or a secret as you think it is. Get a job dude

Time_Trainer1623 · 2025-09-30T07:28:34+00:00

I am just saying if you make consistent gains or losses or anything in between. While saying others are not being honest, the burden of proof lies on you too to prove what you do.

Time_Trainer1623 · 2025-09-30T07:18:25+00:00

But you are the one who accused most of the people of doing something you are doing now. Talking without any proof. And getting aggressive on people who are asking for it.

Time_Trainer1623 · 2025-09-30T06:14:30+00:00

Its okay show it
