samfelly:
That means we go dey monitor every traders' trade, each day in order to filter out those who hit daily dd, if they didn't come forward to owe up

We'll have to rule out myfxbook o. Drawdown that it has and s on , no clear

samfelly:
We are not talking or looking for ordinary trial/demo from Brokers, but a trial that comes with drawdown parameters, kinda.

If you are familiar with fxblue and what they do b4 they catapulted, then broker's demo/trial would sufficed.

Since we can not, presently, employ fxblue service, we now look toward Prop firm's trial that allows trading for a period of one month. The Prop firm's comes with drawdown parameters that'll help scrutinize each of us, automatically, in the competition.

I am testing few things out. We are close to getting what might work. Although, there'll be few complaints, but we'll manage 😁

Alpha Capital's Free Trial was what I was testing. It has 30 days trading duration but came with a little hiccup - 8% Profit Target (instead of the conventional 10%)

Once any trader hits the 8%, trading on the would be disabled, automatically, by the firm (see attached)

. . . Further updates, coming

Hmm. This one na gamble. Because any mistake that money go enter Forest. Na why you go hear story like I flip $25 to $300 but I come blow am.

Yeah.

That's actually the lowest lot on that particular pair on deriv. And I didn't enter the 3 at once. The last position was entered after I'd broken even on the other 2.

Entered this like 15mins ago.

You can enter now also. TP is at that H4 highs.

Donsheddy:

Main reason I don't blame those who don't trade with SL.all this broker and and some prop firm are wicked.imagine benefit on commission and swap fee is not enough for them.we understand prop don't want many trader to win but what is broker stand to gain by doing all this ?

This is the major reason why I stopped using brokers that use spread and ported to hfm!


Zero spread
Zero swap
But you will pay commissions ehn!

But for the money, prop firm can help beginners like us to start milking them.

I hate prop firms because of their useless spread and what they call slippage!


But every firm runs on the model that they feel
Would be able to sustain them in biz for long

Starting my forex journey wish me luck !

Starting my forex journey wish me luck !

May the gods of forex trading be with you..

Reserve like two years to cry first!
And don’t fund or put any money into prop firms

Don’t buy any !


If you listen to what I’m talking you. You’ll know why many traders after knowing the game don’t have funds any more

Dedicate 2 years to learning before buying a prop firm or funding

FTMO

The no spread is not a joke
It’s real, and it’s also swap free

To widen your stop loss is simple reduce your lot size

Lot size stop loss for 0.1 is * 10 that of 0.01
If 0.1 is 500 dollapo loss

0.01 will be 50 dollapo loss

Many swing trader turn day trader cuz of this swap fee.crypto trader who trade on exchange have no business with all this brouhaha.this swap fee already took more 30% profit.we go dey alright last last

Bro nobi say the rules too complicate o. Because you go don calculate am know whether na 100 pip or so you go dey target. You go need like 6 to 10 trade to am if losses enter.

Na the forced lot be the main Koko. Dem go force you trade 0.05 minimum on top $3k . If you blow 100pip 5 times otilor unless na the $1k instant be 0.01, you go need blow 100pip 9 times but if you reduce am to 60 or 70 pips you fit get like 12.. chance.
I hope say dem go last make you see withdrawal collect.


Las las no buy prop if you no get better strategy.

1 lot may have little effect on less volatile pairs and little contract size. If you open 1 lot on XRP USD or LTC USD (crypto) it moves cents per second and maybe 1-3$ an hour for LTC. I think it is good to use such tactics for "forced lot size" rules.

zedegit:

Last Week’s Key Stories for Gold & the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY)
Moody’s Downgrades U.S. Credit Rating (May 16, 2025)
Moody’s cut the U.S. sovereign rating from Aaa to Aa1, citing the $36 trillion debt load and persistent fiscal deficits. The announcement drove U.S. Treasury yields higher, knocked the dollar lower and boosted gold’s safe-haven appeal as investors sought protection against sovereign risk (Reuters, Reuters).
Trump’s Tariff Salvo Spurs Risk-Off Moves (May 23, 2025)
President Trump threatened a 50 % tariff on EU goods and 25 % on Apple iPhones, unsettling markets. Equities sold off and the DXY slipped to fresh two-week lows, while gold rallied on renewed trade-war fears (Reuters).
DXY Posts Largest Weekly Decline Since Early April
The dollar index fell over 3 % during the week, its steepest weekly drop since April, despite U.S. yield differentials remaining broadly in its favor. Strategists point to elevated U.S. risk premia amid fiscal and trade concerns as key drivers of the slide (Capital Economics).
Gold Rebounds from Mid-Week Lows (May 19, 2025)
After touching its lowest levels since November, spot gold bounced back over 1 %, trading around $3,216/oz by midday Monday. The rebound was fueled by both the tariff headlines and safe-haven flows following the credit-rating downgrade (The Rio Times).


Week’s Key U.S. Economic Events
(All times are local U.S. Eastern unless noted; data from LBBW Economic Calendar) (LBBW)
Tue, May 27
Durable Goods Orders (April, preliminary) – gauges spending intentions on long-life goods, influencing growth expectations and dollar sentiment.
Consumer Confidence (May, CB) – a key forward-looking indicator of household spending, with surprises potentially roiling both DXY and gold.
Wed, May 28
FOMC Meeting Minutes (May 6–7) – offers a window into Fed officials’ deliberations on inflation, growth and potential rate moves; a dovish tilt could pressure the dollar and bullion.
Thu, May 29
GDP (Q1, 2nd estimate) – a revision to first-quarter growth, with weaker figures potentially reviving rate-cut bets (dollar-bearish, gold-bullish).
Fri, May 30
PCE Core (April) – the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge; hotter readings undermine gold and bolster DXY, while cooler prints do the opposite.
Personal Income & Spending (April) – informs on consumer health and demand pressures.
University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment (May, final) – final confidence and inflation-expectation metrics; a downturn tends to flow into safe-haven assets.
Geopolitical & Policy Watch
U.S.–EU Trade Tensions: Any escalation or de-escalation in tariff threats will move both the dollar and gold.
Congressional Action on Tax & Spending Bills: Fiscal-policy developments could shape U.S. deficit trajectories, influencing sovereign-risk pricing, DXY and bullion flows.
By tracking these data releases and political developments, you’ll be better positioned to anticipate directional pressures on both gold and the U.S. dollar index in the coming days.
