I made a mistake that almost destroyed the account Yesterday. It survived though! I had the equity breakeven turned on, but I didn't take into account that it needed to be turned off when I scaled the account x2, or I should have coded percent breakeven. Yesterday the floating loss was stopped...

At last! Thank you! Nice to see a real trader here :) You are correct, the first trader scales from loss. How about the 2nd trader?

Means nothing. I don't trust prop firms at all. And 9 days of trading mean nothing as well.

Pay thousands dollars for courses and mentors who always know “how”, but never show their own track record. Overwhelm and confuse yourself by learning countless analyses and watching Youtube gurus. Check what provided profits up until now, and go for it. That’s the reason people invest in Google...

:D That's too obvious. Can you see anything a bit less obvious?

If you want to teach people, you should show your verified track record of your trading, but I don't see it on your profile...

Where is this "mentor" and why would he teach me?

I think you don't understand what a machine is. A machine doesn't come up with a strategy for you. You still need to come up with a profitable strategy. A machine simply performs your own strategy better than you do. Also it can help you come up with your own strategy faster. That's all it does.

The difference between order, trade and position Both order and trade are actions. Position is not an action, but a situation. Order – a request to your broker or platform to execute a trade for you. Trade – the actual act of buying or selling an asset once the order is executed. Position...

"Most likely, no. Most brokers offer negative balance protection." I assume that Spaw is intelligent enough.

Most likely, no. Most brokers offer negative balance protection. That's why they have margin stop. Usually it is at 20-50% equity of used margin. This way they protect you from losing more than you have deposited and also make you to be able to keep trading even after stopped out (some money is...
