at 200 just leave it, cost of moving is more than the risk. just dont ADD money. move before you grow it to 5k and run into a withdrawal wall

hard daily cap, protect it from future-you, give the restlessness an outlet.

master one first, add a second only with measured low correlation, not vibes.

youre right to be suspicious. check the OPEN trades and the floating drawdown on that myfxbook, not just the closed equity line. martingale/grid bots show a beautiful closed curve while carrying a pile of underwater open trades. if floating dd spikes huge periodically, the smooth line is a lie waiting to break

it was the single biggest jump in my results, no exaggeration. not because of the entries, because it showed me i lost 80% of my money on revenge trades after a loss, on fridays, oversized. i couldnt SEE that pattern until it was written down. the journal doesnt fix your strategy it exposes your behaviour

did basically this in january, 150 acc, 45 days. kyc took 3h no follow up. card in card out worked fine, 4 business days back to the card. spreads went wide on nfp but came back. inactivity fee after 6 months. no real traps at that size. wouldnt put 5k there but as a sandbox they behaved

i trade ny only for the same reason (job). pro tip: trade the first 2-3 hours of ny then stop. dont sit there till midnight forcing trades into the low-liquidity close. one good window beats 6 hours of staring

tickmill pro. done.

write counter-argument. mandatory.

feel said aggressive trades mattered, data said discipline did. trust the data.

bin the verdicts, verify the facts, trust offhand mentions most.

screenshot the notable ones, numbers for the rest. sensible middle.

tie it to the 1-2% risk rule instead of thinking in leverage. pick your stop in pips, size so that if the stop hits you lose 1-2% of the account. the effective leverage just falls out of that, usually ends up low (1:3 to 1:10) for sane stops. forget the 1:500 number exists

structural clash means misfit, generalised boredom means build discipline. tell them apart.

gold pays. but gold also takes.

second test confirmation. clean.

partial out. let runner go.

specialize unless youre advanced.

this is where we tear apart trading bots. one rule above all: no fake backtests. backtests are marketing, anyone can curve fit a 9999% backtest on optimised history.

if you post results: myfxbook link to a REAL account, or a verified track record. demo results and backtests can be discussed but label them as such, dont present a backtest as "results".

post your set files, your logs, argue about the algos. no "buy my ea" links, thats an instant ban

this section is for the ugly math behind the industry. why deposit bonuses are a trap, how prop firms make money off you failing, why "review" sites lie, signal sellers, copy trading, all of it.

no proof needed here like in the scam section, this is more discussion + opinions + experience. but back up big claims with numbers or logic, dont just vibe.

start wherever. theres a lot to unpack and most of it youll never hear from a youtube "mentor"
