is automated trading allowed ?

Hello. Sadly, this question is being asked over and over again and answering it each time defies the characteristics and rules of an online forum/discussion. Please read the previous comments.

Now u understand how irritating and impatient most people can be.. Most People do not read instructions..

But i think u should still answer as there will be more of this exact same question.

Yea.. they are here to test trading skills.. of traders..

IF an EA really works well, doesn't mean the account holder is a good trader..

Can you tell me if EAs are allowed?
My EA is not placing any order with this contest account whereas it is ok with other broker.

EAs are prohibited as per the Demo contest rules https://www.myfxbook.com/contests/forex-contest-gdmfx/38/rules

Hello. Your positions on CFDs on Futures (Crude oil for example) are being carried automatically from the old Futures contract to the new one. That is why you have a rollover adjustment which negates the profit/loss made due to the price gap between the old and the new futures contract. For more information, please refer to our Execution Policy https://www.gdmfx.com/en/about-us/legal-documents/order, section Contract Expiration.

Custom indicators are allowed, however, Expert Advisers/Robots are not.

With us not allowed to use EA's does that include trade management EA's as well

We are not sure what is meant by 'Management EAs', however any kind of EA trading is not allowed.

What I mean is I place a trade and then allow the management EA to move SL and maybe take partial profits but it doesn't matter as it does not appear to work anyway

this explains why the gains haven't yet reached 1000% by now 😁. Eas aren't allowed we might be lucky to win something if we don't blow our demo dollars before the contest ends.

Your account is active. What is the issue you are experiencing?

hi
but my platform can not receive data
i think because i m from Iran

I have made 2 trades in my contest account, but they are not showing up in Myfxbook. I checked my settings and saw my contest account login number listed in Myfxbook is different than the number on the GDMFX MT4 tradestation account. Shouldn't they be the same?

I figured out the problem...

@GDMFX I have noticed some people trading currency pairs that i cannot see on my mt4. eg USDZAR and USDMXN , is it possible to add new currency pairs?

Hi Lorenzo, all you have to do is click on the Market Watch button to see your pairs/instruments.... then right-click in the list and select Show All.... This will display all available pairs/instruments

Good luck 😄
