I have noticed some slippages, but no significant ones on my account. Yesterday I even got a positive slippage (your EURUSD winner got 32.2 pips, while my account pocketed 33.7 pips).

Of course, overall the negative slippages are more dominant, but definitely less than 0.5 pips ON AVERAGE, which is not much in absolute value.

On the other hand, since your strategy's Expectancy is only 1.0 pip per trade (according to MyFxBook's statistics), even a 0.3-0.5 pips average slippage can singificantly reduce profitability on slave accounts. For now I don't care much about it, as even with the negative slippages I have booked nice net profits on my account over the past six weeks.

One good solution (with some limitations on tradable pairs) might be trading your signals on currency futures (6E, 6A, 6B, etc.), as the futures markets are centralized and highly regulated, so there is no 'funny business' there, what is otherwise prevalent on Forex. If you used 'market orders' on the futures markets, practically there would be no slippage on the slave accounts. Unless your client is Goldman-Sachs... 😄

By the way, I receive your signals on an ICM 'True ECN' account (which is just a name, of course, as all the trades are 'B-booked' by them), and I use a New York based VPS with ultra-low latency (i.e. which is directly wire connected to ICM's trade server).

Thank you for your answer mate,

I will look at your recommendation currency futures! Yeah I know I have such low expectancy but it was because I have losses when trading EURUSD trending pair...

Its good that you are using a vps that has low latency to your broker. I think those who following me doesnt use any vps or they have high latency to the broker. I have added a describtion when following me to use a vps!

I don't have any problem with low expectancy as long as my account is making profits from which I can pay the subscription fees and my VPS.

Please let me know if you decided to enter the Futures arena. There is no 'funny business' there, so if you wanted serious investors, you could find them much easier by a Futures track record.

can you rent your EA for example monthly subscribe? instead of copy trade.
about me I prefer to have ea on the terminal it self is much better than copy a signal.

Hello,

This week we ended with a loss. We had 23 trades, not many was profitable and we are down ~7% for this week. Lets have some faith and discipline guys and its our first losing week since a couple a months.

We are stil positive for the month though ~+4% =)

Have a nice weekend!

This is why we need at least a 6month preferably 2 year track record because it is too hard to stay disciplined and faithful when you go through a period of the biggest DD on record and it is still just only the beginning.

Thank you for your point of view FXtrader2010, Its okey for us to have DD period and I'm fine with it but I urgue followers to have the same emotions like I do... I mean its crusial to have discipline in forex. I dont have a crystal ball here but I will do my best to protect our money and trade with the trading plan.
