Nice.. glad MX is working for you. Interesting about the Linux Mint Debian edition comment..

Are you on 18.04 LTS with the Unity desktop? Sounds like when you double click the shortcut you're opening the shortcut in a text editor instead of having it launch the application. If you open a terminal window, you can execute it yourself by copying and pasting the line in your post after...

I do not currently recommend them. I do not feel comfortable with a brand that sensationalizes and twists the prop industry model to get attention. There are some good choices available that we have detailed here...

Did you meet your "friends" online? Was it a social or dating site? Are you aware there's an extremely common scam being seen where people are befriended online by an attractive person of the sex you're into, spending weeks or even months building a "relationship", then they start bragging...

I believe in teaching, and encourage people to figure it out themselves after pointing them in the right direction.. but that said, this one turns out to be more than just an extra line given you gotta declare a conversion key for the aggregate. So harder than the 'one liner' I suggested...

Are you calling resample after the 'set index' line?

Where are you getting stuck? It's a well documented process .. like an extra line or two. What did you try?

As little as possible if you're new. No more than you're comfortable never seeing again. Consider it money spent on learning. Go slow. Only increase your account and trade size when you see consistency.

Yes, it's possible to do this via Pandas (that the script already uses.) After the line that sets the timestamp as your index you'd then use a resample function. Read up on how to use panda's resample function in the official pandas docs. It includes examples. Link here...

Hello and welcome! Be sure to check out our post on prop firms if you haven't already: https://fxgears.com/index.php?threads/forex-trader-scouting-and-prop-firms-overview-and-comparison.1343/

Also, I think this logic might seem intuitive upfront, but when you consider that the failure rate in the industry is near 95% over a 3-5 year period, the math doesn't work out. If an institutional firm is working a structural edge (that is, not just a strategy but a market function where they...

Can you PM me specifics and a history of your company?

I had to remove your other posts as they aren't contributing to the point of this thread (which is a comparison of trader scouting programs and info on the prop industry in general.) In the first post of this thread, the differences between a traditional prop (what you are describing) and what...

It's hard to go on reviews alone given the nature of trading and how people will externalize blame for their own mistakes. I can say I know people who've been paid out by them.. so as long as the rules are being followed, they do pay out.. Not much more you can ask from a scouting firm aside...
