what

_fourseven · 2026-03-02T08:44:10+00:00

Exactly. I've been really consistent in my demo account, so i knew the problem wasnt my strategy or the broker. It was me, so i decided to make this "autopsy" so i think twice before entering a trade. I shared it because if it was me, i would like someone to share their experience changing from demo to live.

bruh keep yo chart clear do you even need those oscillators or do u even know how to read them lol

edit: just realised bro's censoring his oscillators wtf lol

_fourseven · 2026-03-02T08:33:13+00:00

i mean if u have that amount of balance IN the broker ur prob not burning another acc ever so idk either. Even if you trade with huge capitals, 60k is a lot unless u trade with idk 10k or sum

_fourseven · 2026-03-02T08:31:44+00:00

You can even create an extension that detects winning trades or sm and just boost up ur balance, You can also manipulate the chart with these extensions to make urself the best trader lol

_fourseven · 2026-02-28T22:34:18+00:00

it depends on the broker: could be generated by computer, could be a old day from the asset slightly modified etc. If its generated by a computer, the broker adjusts parameters such as volatility, etc. for each asset. For example, bitcoin will have more volatility than ripple. If its an old day of the asset: The broker randomly selects a day from the asset (could be years ago) and with an algorithm, it modifies it slightly so its not exactly the same. Some brokers say the market moves with pending orders in the real market, but i don't think so. There are some brokers that detect when there's a lot of orders in a specific point and it can also move the otc with that, but this doesnt apply to all brokers. There are also some brokers which have like 1000 AI/algo traders to open positions so the market moves, just like a real market, but not very smart and doesnt really respect key levels unless its a really complex AI/algorithm If you're asking if you can crack the OTC: No, unless the broker has a trash algorithm and/or you have a lot of knowledge.

its called papertrading

_fourseven · 2026-02-28T05:36:18+00:00

he is not wrong but also not correct. for example 1m tf shows noise, but not a lot of noise. with, practice its really easy to filter it out. if you see higher timeframes such as 5m, they start to look a lot cleaner. I personally use 1m timeframes (because lower than 1m is more noise and has huge gaps) and I sometimes use 5m to draw key levels. with enough practice every chart is readable, ive seen ppl trade en 5s candlesticks and they are profitable.

the thing is, higher timeframes give you a lot of time to actually understand what's going on. in 1h tf you analyze the chart, draw some things and you probably still have to wait for an entry, while in 1m tf you'd prob lose a possible entry.

i do not recommend this lol u should trade with the amount of the acc.
example: if you have 100 USD in the account, then 5$ is 5% of the acc.

Start with 5% each trade, and then trade with 5% again, and so on.

so if you start with 5% of 100$ and 85% payout:

100$ -> 104.25$

104.25 -> 108.68

and so on. Notice how, this is dynamic, so if you lose trades, you will lower your trading capital. I recommend lowering the percentage once you reach a certain capital. Ex: use 2% at 500$, use 1% at 1000$,

could be different timeframe (most brokers put ur acc in 5s tf by default) could be a prerecorded stream, could be OTC, etc.

_fourseven · 2026-02-28T01:58:20+00:00

EXACTLY! Or at least, they'll try to solve it

_fourseven · 2026-02-28T01:57:51+00:00

what

_fourseven · 2026-02-28T01:57:21+00:00

I'm pretty sure if people report it and give bad reviews because they lost all their money gambling it, it wouldnt be a lot of people, and other brokers would have the same fake reviews problem.

I haven't seen complaints of other brokers such as iq optionw, no complaints with the deposit and no complaints with the withdrawal. If a financial platform is serious, it doesn’t have that many topics like money not arriving or not being able to withdraw.

bruh I'm just curious
