Hi Guys,I apologise for not posting soon, my Mum is still in the hospital and it has taken over everything. I am afraid the deal with PFD is not the deal it once was. Originally it was a true rebate and you got -0.3 pips back, it was a great deal. However about 2 months ago they changed their entire business model.The introduced the pro and standard accounts. At the same time they said they were now losing money on IB accounts so had to spread mark them up and then give the mark up back as a rebate. This happened to everyone all IB’s even my own accounts. At the end of the day, as a trad...

Hi Guys, Sorry for not being in touch. My Mum has been extremely sick and it took all of my time. She is still in hospital.In the meantime I have been working away improving the system. It is making very good live returns now at a number of brokers - (monthly return 110%, DD 4.19%) http://www.myfxbook.com/files/Andy_Pandy/crest.pngHowever in terms of copying any latency affects performance. There are ways it can be done but very technical to implement for both the copier and sender, therefore not really ideal.Instead I am redesigned the system to permit much larger take profits (x10 over bef...

Hi Guys, Live results of BOOM are here.http://www.myfxbook.com/members/Andy_Pandy/boom/947670I am not sure why it defaults to the backtest (stops at 2012) when you click on the BOOM link. However, you should know that the BOOM system is now 2 years old and very outdated. The returns now are rather meaningless at reached the broker "max lot size" ages ago. I am just leaving it up for interest. Cheers, Andy

Hi Guys,Just to let you know I am working on a copier solution. It is part commercial, part home programmed and from last week’s tests it is the fastest copying possible for MT4. I am working with ww.w2cloud.com at present on a new server to co-locate my signal server and your MT4 client. This way copying should be near instantaneous. It is going to take ~ 2 weeks to setup the new w2cloud server. I want to test everything further before proceeding to make everything run as smoothly as possible. Bare with me. I will be in touch. CheersAndy

Hi Guys,Leave this with me a bit. I want to test it live with a MT4 signal before I set you guys up. If it looses money I don't want you guys copying. For the next few weeks I will test various different approaches live and set you guys up with the best one.I need to learn in intricacies/drawbacks of each approach before we jump in with both feet.Thanks loads, Cheers, Andy

Hi Guys, For now I have deleted the MT4 signal for now, I don't want people to try and copy from it and kill their account due to a huge lots size. I am setting up a new demo account. It takes a few days with these guys to get a demo. Cheers, Andy

GUYS DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO THE ABOVE MT4 SIGNAL WITH A LIVE ACCOUNT.The account is so large that the MT4 signal service cannot calculate lot size correctly. For example I connected it to a small live account with $100. The master account opened a 55 lot trade with ~$550,000 balance. So proportionally the trade which should have been opened was 100/550,000 * 55 = 0.01 lots. Instead it tried to open a 0.55 lot trade. So clearly MT4 cannot adjust for a factor greater than x100 between accounts. The only solution I can see if I can somehow drain one of my present accounts by trading massive lots ove...

Hi Guys, Just a quick but important note. It seems I have no way of stopping signals being sent over the NFP week. I cannot stop the system this end it is a giant matrix with 100’s of pending orders. Before with a copier it was easy but as a mt4 signal there does not appear to be an easy way. Therefore I strongly advise you stop your subscription each month for the whole week that contains the NFP release. There is a pause button beside you subscription at mql5.com. Unfortunately there does not seem to be a similar pause for providers. Please don’t forget !!!!! You have been warned...

Hi Guys, Please PM me regarding setup issues. Otherwise the main thread with fill up. gftcfd yes you did it correct;1) now going into the PFD terminal and look under options.2) Login in under community.3) Then in the signals tab you should the box like the one in the box I attached in the message above. Fill it in the same. 4) You are good to do. Thanks so much, Cheers, Andy

Hi Guys, I am not sure how well this will work but give it a go. I have no experience in how fast MT4 signals are. But it seems people have subscribed and are happy.http://www.mql5.com/en/signals/50628Look under my myfxbook profile you will see an account MT4 HOTSPOT Bridge. This is a direct signal from this account. http://www.myfxbook.com/members/Andy_Pandy/hotspot-mt4-bridge-2014-boom/953627You can connect to this through MT4 as a signal. I just quickly connected a live account and it seems to copy pretty fast. I am NOT experienced with signals, but when setting up I suggest some like this....

Hi Juham,Thanks loads, I am afraid the main system needs a lot of cores to run which makes it impossible. Also I want to avoid a situation where I am holding master passwords and "trading for others" as this enters "money manager” territory. It is such a shame MAM will not copy between demo and live, otherwise I could have set up a MAM master demo and lets you guys copy into PFD from the demo and everything would stay on PFD server. PFD say this is a no go, and it seems their demo servers are in NZ anyway, live ones only in NY. A local copier seems to be the best solution...

Hi Guys,Yes I am really sorry it did not work out. I did stop it as soon as I saw a definite difference between the copier and my account. I don’t want anyone to loose money.In reply to Thomas, absolutely, please keep trading you keep the rebates and conditions forever. You can also keep opening new accounts under these conditions using the same link as-well. Keeping the liquidity flowing with help me out.New clients can also sign up under here to get these conditions.https://kiwi.pfd-nz.com/signup/logon?ID=64857I have not given up completely I am still looking into local copiers and I h...

Hi Guys,Just a quick note.Unfortunately, we all missed a massive move and were stopped out by ~0.5 pips. The hotspot demo got it as it running a slightly older system with a slightly larger stop loss. My live accounts and yours just just missed it. When we do get fully loaded and it makes a massive move any losses will be wiped out in a few seconds. So close !Thanks, Cheers, Andy

Hi Tomas, Thanks loads, we made good money last night so I hope that your account will eventually be back in the green. They give us the second best rate, and they deal on the best rate, so they only make a tiny profit from us. We have the same conditions as a white label broker would get through them. Please feel free to open another account to test other systems or recommend the conditions to friends. We need to keep the volume up to hold onto these conditions. I cannot find anything better. https://kiwi.pfd-nz.com/signup/logon?ID=64857Thanks loads, CheersAndy

Hi Guys, I have been looking at all the trades between myself and people copying. I have been doing pretty well, but the copiers not well. Everything seems to be working properly. Really it is just bad timing. Look at this screen dump from the hotspot demo.1) We started in an late June, it was not too bad a start, but we were at 0.01 lots so really made no money.2) Then July 7th went for it at full risk and hit a very rocky patch all month. 3) Then we took a break for testing. Then we hit more losses last night. http://www.myfxbook.com/files/Andy_Pandy/Copier.pngIt is just the worse luck. Mov...

Hi Guys, I have made an agreement with W2 Cloud (http://www.w2cloud.com) to provide me a large number of CPU’s to test the system on a VPS close to the PFD servers in NY at a price I can afford. The main system needs a lot of CPU’s to run.This should reduce latency especially for anyone copying. If you are interested they currently have a deal for two CPU’s and a 2 gig of RAM for only $18.50 a month http://www.w2cloud.com/vm_plans.php This should eventually put you on the same server as me and should reduce latency all around. If you are interested in trying the VPS PFD broke...

Just so people understand, the copier only started sending the system again in full yesterday, just before a loss day. During the 20th July to 10th Aug the copier was stopped (or at very low risk 21-28th July) due to news and testing. Unfortunately, the three main restarts coincide with the loss periods and the solid profit periods in between were missed so the copiers are down at this point. It is very bad luck. From now on the system will remain running and it should dig itself out. Cheers, Andy

Here is a balance chart that puts last night into better perspective over the last three weeks. The difference here is the rebates are included.http://www.myfxbook.com/files/Andy_Pandy/today2.png

Hi Thomas,I am afraid we are having the worst luck when we start and stop the copier. Overall it is well in profit since the start of sending signals. There have been 3 rough patches have unfortunately come at the same time as the copier is running at full risk. See my account last night same losses as you guys. http://www.myfxbook.com/files/Andy_Pandy/today.pngFrom this point I am going to send signal continually (with the exception of NFP) it will eventually dig itself out. It is the only way just to keep it running. The system does work, but this is the worst start possible for people copyi...
