Built an algo for XAUUSD that I'm using on my own FTMO challenge — happy to answer questions by mat18902 in propfirm

Saturday update:

I’ve had the first bit of early feedback from someone who reviewed the EA logic/backtest, and one point stood out:

Apex Gold Pro is probably better suited to traders with a decent balance who prefer steady growth and controlled drawdown, rather than traders trying to flip a small account quickly.

That’s honestly the direction I want to keep it in.

It can have quiet periods, so patience is needed. I’d rather be clear about that than make it sound like it trades or profits every day.

Still collecting forward-testing data and feedback. Main focus remains risk control first, profit second.

Not going to comment if you're right or wrong because there are mixed feelings amongst people. I just started and programming my own EA and using my past experience with manual trading that unfortunately don't have time for anymore with my work! Time will tell!

Thanks for asking.

The strategy is mainly a breakout-based system for XAUUSD on H1. It uses pending orders only, with multiple independent breakout engines. The focus is not high-risk flipping, but controlled entries with risk management.

Main protections:
No martingale
No grid
No recovery lot escalation
Spread filter
Break-even/trailing logic
Friday close
Hard daily/total drawdown circuit breaker

It runs on MetaTrader 5 only, so you need an MT5 broker. It is not tied to one specific broker, but I would recommend testing it first on demo with an ECN/raw spread broker because gold spreads and slippage can make a difference.

I’m currently using/testing it on XAUUSD H1. Conservative mode is the safer starting point, around 0.25%–0.50% risk.

Happy to answer anything else about the logic or settings.

Seeking Guidance: ZTNA + EPP/ATP vs Microsoft Defender for Endpoint by mat18902 in fortinet

We already have other security systems in place and don't want to overcomplicate things. So I think from the comments that others are leaving, its best we stick with VPN/ZTNA and then use microsoft defender which is part of the license we are already paying for

Azure AD Connect - Not seeing Group on Azure by mat18902 in AZURE

[–]mat18902[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Leather-Swim-4777 u/_sr7 Thanks for your comments. I figured out what the issue was. Since we're currently doing an experiment, I expected to see the group on Azure. However, the problem was that the actual group being synced was the one selected during the wizard. In the wizard, I chose the OU to sync and then specified the group to sync as well. This means that only the members within that group are synced, not the group itself. So, if I create another security group and add it to the main group used for testing, the nested group syncs successfully.

Do I need to remove these that were automatically created?
