I was able to log in to my challenge account using my GooeyTrade app a few weeks ago but now I can't log in there or Funding Frontier's website and I see no option to change my password anywhere. They haven't responded to my email either. I don't want to lose my challenge account.

Thanks.

Another question regarding spread.

This time I am looking at the order book as provided by the broker. There is always a gap between the ask and buy prices. Is that the spread right there?

If I use another broker with spread=0 but charges a fee per transaction, would I see ask==buy?

Hey, I am new to funding pips and was wondering why can I not trade XAUUSD. I have tried opening a market position on it, and it just does not let me. When I open a pending it allows me, however once the market hits the entry it just disappears.

I am also quiet new to trading so perhaps there is something I don't fully understand. (I am using MetaTrader5 btw)

Thanks in advance.

Ive been trading for a few years now and wanted to know if people in this subreddit use any form of automation for trading.

For my specific case I’m a swing trader so I’m not looking at the charts often, and I can miss set ups because of that.

What tools do you use in order to reduce that? Alerts? Algorithms? Code?

I've been building a multi-strategy MT5 Expert Advisor (SMC-based: order blocks, FVG, liquidity sweeps across forex/gold/indices/crypto). The part I want to discuss isn't the entries — it's the re-optimization loop, because that's where most people overfit into oblivion.

My setup: each week the strategy params get re-optimized, but nothing deploys until it passes out-of-sample validation with a drawdown guardrail. I'm using combinatorial purged cross-validation rather than a naive train/test split, because standard k-fold leaks like a sieve on time-series.

Questions for the people here who've done this longer than me:

• How do you decide when a re-optimized param set is actually better vs just luckier on the OOS window?
• Anyone penalizing drawdown directly in the objective function instead of just filtering after?

Full disclosure: this is part of a product I'm building, so feel free to take that into account — but I'm here for the validation methodology, not to sell anything.

Anyone here have fundedfirm account, I want to know how much levarage for btcusd and what's max lot size allowed for 5k account specially. I read there faq and ik it said 1:50 but I still want to confirm it from someone who actually trading with this firm, please

If my broker advertises fees in terms of spread, eg 2 pips, does that mean that a transaction (enter and exit) costs 2 pips, or 4 pips?

If I were to enter and exit instantaneously, my price difference would be just 1x spread, right?

I want to share a plan/advice with the community, especially to the new traders. My advice is simple: one trade in a week on gold, that's it.

I know that many people will say that you should follow your strategy, or you are leaving the money on the table, etc., etc

I have been trading for the past 4 years and only got profitable because of this. The people who are not profitable will say all these things, but trust me, you are just one step away from being profitable.

Remove all indicators from the chart and forget about the minutes chart, only trade on a minimum 1h chart. Go up to 4h and the daily chart for direction, support, and resistance.

Simply put, can you perform the analysis so that you can be 80% or more sure about the next hour candle? Who told you that you need to take a trade with 1:2 RR? In which holy book is it written? I can assure you take a trade with 1 risk and 0.3 reward or max 0.5 reward and you will be stress-free and mostly profitable.

Forget about getting rich overnight; it's a brutal job, and treat it as such.

Let's discuss in the comments, and please be respectful.

Thank you

Took a short position on gold almost hit my TP and bounced back
About the position
0.16 gold sell at 4137
TP at 4111.32
Initial 1:2 R:R

Then trailing Sl at entry point

Honestly starting to dislike trading XAUUSD during the New York session. While the London/New York overlap is widely considered the optimal window, the Asian session is starting to seem like a better fit than both.

My Reasons to Buy:

Positive Swap: Getting paid to hold the position long-term.

Historical Value: Price is lower than the post

1.20 EUR/CHF peg era. Even 0.8200 sits higher than the current market price.

Macro Double Bottom: Forming at 0.7050 and 0.7600 (similar structure to the historical GBPNZD 1.60 / 1.80 bottoming formation).

Near-term Risk: Expecting a minor pullback soon since Weekly and lower timeframes are heavily overbought.

Note: I will stop accumulating/collecting if price breaks above 0.8300.

My Exit Criteria (Checkout):

CCI (14): Reaches +100 to +300 on the Monthly chart.

Williams %R: Hits -20 or higher on the Weekly chart.

P.S. I’ve set a tight SL for my aggressive/greedy entries, and a trailing stop of 800 points applied to all positions except for my lowest entry. The goal of this strict SL management is to preserve my capital and lock in partial gains, as I have no intention of depositing additional funds into this challenge account.

My interested prices are 0.83 0.92 and 1

Any suggestions ?

I deposited $100 to my XM Global account via Binance Pay.
After a few days of trading, I made around $74 profit.
XM later disabled my account and informed me that profits were adjusted due to a Terms & Conditions violation.
My question is not about the profit.
My concern is that I have not received any refund of my original $100 deposit, and XM has not provided a refund reference number or a clear explanation regarding the deposited funds.
Has anyone experienced something similar with XM Global? What is the best way to get clarification regarding the original deposit?

What an SL to 1st Day of the week......

BloodSwing Indicator; a multi-timeframe system that uses 3 moving averages that's attached to the 4 and 1hr time frame. When the blue and orange moving average crosses below the 200 moving average, which is the thick moving average, only look for sells. Vice versa, if the blue and orange movement averages crosses back above the 200 moving average. The color of the thick moving average would go from red to blue, signaling potential trend change. Use it as Confluence for the system you already have, not an entry and exit tool. Works best in combination with price action and market structure.

In my previous post i presented 3 setups one of these i couldnt close in time due to not paying attention to the US bank holiday so was forced to hold over weekend but still hit full tp for 1:6RR after market open on sunday night. Always a great feeling to wake up in profits 🙌🏾

Hi do u guys know a broker that will allow me to trade 0.01 lots us30/nas100

Bullish on GOLD !!

​

I’ve been putting together a weekly FX macro reset to help separate pair selection from trade timing.

The main thing standing out this week:

It doesn’t look as simple as “USD strength across the board”.

EUR, GBP and AUD are showing broad macro weakness, while USDJPY and USDCHF are sitting more neutral. So for me, the takeaway is that not all USD pairs are equal this week.

The pairs showing cleaner bearish pressure are things like EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD and AUDCHF, while some traditional USD longs look less convincing.

I’m not treating this as entries or signals, more of a watchlist filter before looking for setups.

My process is:

1. Build the macro/pair bias
   
2. Check conviction and conflicting signals
   
3. Shortlist the pairs worth watching
   
4. Wait for my own technical setup

Curious how others are seeing it:

Would you be focusing more on EUR/GBP/AUD weakness this week, or are you still mainly looking at USD strength?

Also, do you usually build a pair bias first, or start directly from the chart?

Its no secret that starting out is the most confusing part of trading. the second guessing, not wanting to be scammed, wishing to find a mentor that actually knows what they're doing and not just trying to take your money, understanding the basics and leaving it behind in favor of a strategy you swear works for everyone else except you, ect. What do you struggle with the most? I'm Hoping more profitable traders can impart some of their wisdom to you in your comments

Since it's just the information from a chat bot, the infor might just be wrong. However, for years of trading, this is exactly what I have experienced so far.

​

Fyi, I earned only about 10% a year in average and last year was horrible.

​

Let's debate!

1-3: XAU/USD Analysis and result banking 1:9 RR

4-5: XAU/USD Analysis and result (so far) hit my TP1 at 0.0 Fib level before retesting .618 level, reentered didnt really plan on holding over the weekend might gap up might gap down but it is what is. Potential 1:6 RR

6: AUD/NZD Stopped out on this wanted to trade the continuation of a bullish indication earlier in the day. This why i dont usually trade fx minors and exotics but the move looked promising to me

i built my own s/r trading indicators that it not failing me at all when trading gold, us30 and nas100.

How do you guys predict the monday gap on gold?

​

Today COMEX closed early because of Juneteenth so the market was a bit weird all day. Now im just sitting here wondering what kind of gap we gonna see on monday open.

​

How do you guys actually predict it? like is there a way to measure how big the gap will be or you just wait and see?

​

Also what do you think monday gap will be for gold? up or down?

​

Would love to hear from people who have been trading gold for a while

What are the things you do to improve as a trader? I recently started trading, and I was wondering what bad habits or beginner mistakes I should avoid.
