Hi Guys,
I have made an agreement with W2 Cloud (https://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 https://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 broker combo, you can get the institutional broker conditions negotiated for the system directly at this link https://kiwi.pfd-nz.com/signup/logon?ID=64857
You do not need to use the system to get these conditions, anyone (but U.S.) can sign up. Conditions are fast execution, low slippage ~0.02 pips on EURUSD/USDJPY (after 0.3 pips rebate on every trade) with no commission. Funding in U.S. only permitted under the agreement.
While the BOOM system and copier combo so far have had a rough start, looking at everyone’s accounts who are running their own trading systems practically everyone is making good returns which must be a clear indication of great broker conditions. Feel free to take advantage of them.
Thanks loads,
Cheers, Andy
Andy,
even though I made no money with you I appreciate your effort. The system could be profitable at the end when everything is adjusted.
Also the broker's spread is unbeateable, do you know if broker still make some profit or how can broker offer such low spread?

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.

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

Andy,
my account following you drops by 35% today
https://www.myfxbook.com/members/togr/pfd-trader/954720
I deposited $100 and the total loss is already $53. I do not get it. Your accounts are profitable so why do you send different signals? Can you mirror the trades from your profitable account?

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=64857
I have not given up completely I am still looking into local copiers and I hope to find a solution.
Cheers

Hi Andy,
I think your system is great, and do not let trading latency defeat your idea.
Try to find other service or better signal copier in internet.
Cheers.

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, it can be done at ~10ms latency which I think should do it.
I need to do some additional, coding and testing myself to give you the best solution.
I will be in touch when I know something,
Thanks loads,
Cheers, Andy
P.S. gftcfd thanks for the support

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.
https://www.mql5.com/en/signals/50628
Look under my myfxbook profile you will see an account MT4 HOTSPOT Bridge. This is a direct signal from this account.
https://www.myfxbook.com/members/Andy_Pandy/hotspot-mt4-bridge-2014-boom/953627
You 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. Set the risk as you see fit.
A couple of things :
1) Due to the stop level at PFD the adjustments on the stop be not placed, and you may see errors. The original stops should be placed when opening, but all the stop modifications may not copy. This is fine as the trade will close out when the master trade closes out. I don’t want to leave “copy stop loss and take profit” unchecked as I want you to have some sorts of stops in place in case of disconnection.
2) I believe that if you are running a signal from MQL4.com that the whole account is synced and such you may not be able to place other trades on the account. If so this is a major drawback of this approach. Maybe more experienced signal users can comment. If so I assume MQ are working to solve this as it seem very restrictive.
When all the copying tests are and we find the best solution, then I will stop all public signals. I will continue to share the system with only those people who have a live PFD account that they are actively trading (any system) that was created through this link.
https://kiwi.pfd-nz.com/signup/logon?ID=64857
If you want to stay involved please sign up, and send me your account number and a private myfxbook link to view your account. I will keep and list of user names, account numbers and when testing is over, I will share the final system only with these people.
Anyone who already signed up in the early stages is on my VIP list! Thanks to you all!
Finally if anyone tries another broker, is willing to share the results, and will send me a PM with a myfxbook link so I can monitor their performance, I would greatly appreciate this. If anyone sends me live results (and broker details) that outperform PFD in terms of real money returns then you make it onto the VIP list automatically!
Thanks loads, Cheers,
Andy

Hi Andy,
I have subscribed your signal in 'without terminal' mode.
First time to use signal service, not sure my process is right or wrong.

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 !!!!!!! DONT TRADE THE NFP WEEK !!! The demo may do well, but the live slippage is likely to be a killer.
Thanks loads,

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 over and over until the balance is say $500, and then let you guys copy from it.
It will look AWEFULL in terms of return as it will look like I lost everything, but you guys here will know why ? I am working on draining another demo now.
In the MEANTIME DO NOT NOT NOT NOT COPY FROM THE ACCOUNT

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

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
