Remove the HTTPS and use HTTP and you’ll get the message from the receivership. The lawyers are too cheap (or too technically inept) to buy an SSL certificate.
aaronpriestParticipantI wonder how well Waka Waka would work with Trading.com? They are the only regulated USA broker offering MT5 with FIFO compliance, but I don’t know how good they are as I have never used them. I use Coinexx and their trading conditions are very good, but their support can take weeks to respond to any issue, if they respond at all, and all transfers need to be via crypto which has it’s own set of tax complications, not to mention the headaches of FBAR/FinCEN reporting for foreign accounts. Oanda.com and Forex.com are just trash for trading conditions. Regulation has only given us the two worst brokers and removed the ability for US citizens to use any reputable brokers like IC Markets, Pepperstone, etc.
aaronpriestParticipantI thought it might be that hidden space character. 😉
aaronpriestParticipantI have a _ instead of a – in mine, not sure if it matters. You could also show symbols in Notepad++ and see if you have a space after the ^ at the end of the line, that can cause that error.
aaronpriestParticipantGenerally speaking, prop firms do not allow any public or 3rd party EAs. You really have to generate your own strategies and create your own EAs or you will most likely get flagged as trade copying and your account banned. Even generating our own strategies it is likely to get enough common trades to cause grief for some of us sadly.
aaronpriestParticipantYes, this will change the entire prop firm industry. Quite likely US and Canadian citizens won’t be able to use any good prop firms anymore, just like happened a few years ago with forex brokers where we are banished now.
aaronpriestParticipantI don’t see them coming back from this. Here are the 40 pages of charges against them:

aaronpriestParticipantCongrats! It’s awesome to have no time limits now. 😀
aaronpriestParticipantI have used a lot of VPSes and dedicated servers over the years (not just for Forex), and many have terrible customer service when you really need it. Two really good ones that have a great response time and reliability are vultr.com and dedicated.com if you want to add them to your list. I currently have a dedicated server with dedicated.com, although they do VPS as well.
aaronpriestParticipantAh! Data start date and trade start date weren’t matching.
aaronpriestParticipantSame version here, 2.45. Opening a strategy from a portfolio shows a nearly identical graph for every strategy for me though. You might have to ask Popov in the forexsb forum.
aaronpriestParticipantI don’t know then. They look like they use the same starting date in your screenshots.
aaronpriestParticipantHuh, they match for me. What if you click re-calculate on your collection?
aaronpriestParticipantYou can set hours in the trading session for it to avoid / ignore when generating strategies without needing the trades to close at end of daily session (if you want to hold them open during rollover). This helps it train strategies better where it is ignoring the time of high spreads during rollover, and if you use the same settings when saving the EAs it will avoid opening trades during that time as well of course.
aaronpriestParticipantYup, good advice too. Definitely many different approaches you can take, but a spare, redundant computer is wise. I have a desktop and a laptop, and the laptop can go with me anywhere even though it’s not as powerful. MT4/MT5 accounts are setup on both so I can log in from anywhere.
