Million Dollar Pips Discussion

which stats did you talk about?
my broker has a fixed spread of 1pip, the modify time is below 500ms. only the open time suffers a spike, but reduce to around 1.2sec.

maybe you talk about the screenshot posted which is not mine :)

Last few days, mostly break even on all group accounts.

That is true since I am one of the group and I mostly broke even.

Default settings ?

Mine two (I dropped one) cashed in nicely. BUT! I got a lot of errors for not possible to modify pending orders. On the first spike it was not a problem, VPS is fast and close to server, but execution time has increased dramatically. Still good profit, and I don't think it am targeted specifically but maybe systems are overloaded or the violence of spike created issues with positioning orders. Not encouraging, dropped max sim orders from 8 to 4.

Mine 18 trade all win, very satisfied with the result. See attachment:

.

Today MDP 1.2 taken 33 trades... +50 pips. Seemingly everything is all right, but transaction was to much.
Attachment showing are all trades since the creation of an account

Why some trades lasted 0 second?

I use ECN broker and change default settings (slippage)

great result just now - using deafaults except:

FIFO=false
group trades = true
max sim orders = 8
additional channels = 8

All winning trades for +95.4 pips

Still use 1.16 - personal settings
With my broker 27 trades, 17 wins, 10 losses, 254.6 pips profit, all in all 76.6% growth ;-)

Here is a screenshot of my chart with latest timings: (last two trades on the chart were a loss)

Looks like Alpari repeats a story of Oanda: now blocks heavily order modification and creation. Same time execution average is now 600-800 ms. BUT

As a result it created the order too late and it closed on ts with 1 pip loss, another broker made 10 pips. Time perhaps to close Alpari.

Mistifx: Got the same thing. What is your Sim order and slippage setting?

Mind you I had only ONE order where this all mess came in! I noticed that due to reduced max order from 8 to 4 it opened bigger position and possibly it triggered crap order handling... I reduced the order size/risk will see if it improves anything.
