Agreed.....a huge advantage. I know there is the whole "dead time" that can allow gaps that go against the firm, but since it isn't real money - its just another way to take subscriptions in.....after all, the real way to gains is to hang onto winners. That's part of the allure to offering...

Again.....

All good - I was buying them. Carry on.

I cannot tell you how much money that saved me back then. I tried to become a proficient futures trader, and learned that I struggle with short-term day trading. That's ok, but it could have cost me something like 100k to figure out I am more of a swing trader.

I look at it differently, and this seems to have helped me. The leverage in the FTMO Challenge is astronomical. You can basically trade as large as you want. HOWEVER, it isn't the leverage or the ten percent that you should be focusing on . (This is because you can trade such a large size.)...

This is fun to watch. I get my dose of schadenfreude

Desperation isn't a good look either.

They now only use LMAX and Purple Trading. They used to use many more though.

Yep, its all sub based profits. He may have well just said that himself. Occam's Razor dictates as such. These guys are in trouble, and they know it. It really doesn't matter if they are still owned by this parasite or not - this is a really, really bad look. This is the kind of thing that will...

You aren't trading the correct ones. The ones being pumped everyday. But yes. You are correct about that as well.

Tesla. The parabolic nature of the markets. The 'buy the dip attitude." Stocks only go up. That's facts. Also, indices are made to only go up over time. If they weren't, they would be equal wieghted.

EW is dog shit. I am currently watching a video from some Aussie wanker trying to explain it, and he keeps backtracking, because its all nonsense. I am unfortunately studying for my CMT, and this useless horse shit is in the exam.

Stocks go up most of the time.

This was based on an interview with the CEO of FXCM in the US years ago.

The pair makes no difference, other than the time frame and trade size you need. For example, I can trade USD/MXN just as easily as USD/CAD. However, I based trades off of weekly charts.

I see all it takes is a 10 percent gain, followed by a ten percent gain, followed by an 8 percent gain, followed by a 7 percent gain. Seems like a legit opportunity. Each leg has to be finished within a month, so this should be a breeze.

If we in the land of the free and the home of the brave had to freedom to trade CFDs......

Word. I have been 'funded' by One Up twice now. Have yet to trade a live feed. Always demo. Oddly enough, things get so much more difficult once you 'get funded.' Day trading futures is very difficult, and most people can't do it sustainably. Furthermore, you begin to understand this once you...

The best thing I have heard recently: "Embrace the stupidity." Once I let go of common sense, I started making money again.

It should also be noted that a lot of the real prop shops pay a lot less, something like 20. However, they also don't charge the fees either.
