Does someone tried to copy scalping strategies from forex social networks? - page 2

 
Meng Yin Teoh:


most likely it wont.

You can search some scalping signals here and read the reviews. You will find that almost all followers lost money while the provider made tiny pip.


Followers will not lose money in the following cases (it was described by MQ):

  • the followers and the signal provider are using same broker and same account type of the broker;
  • followers and the provider are using MQL5 VPS, and if yes so the trades are copying from the broker's server and not from someone's Metatrader ... and they are on same broker  ...

 Of course, if the signal provider is making his scalping using his home computer with his home internet ... so ... yes, the followers may lose ...
But if the signal provider is responsible guy so he will use MQL5 VPS asking to use same MQL5 VPS for his followers on same broker so the results may be good.

That was not true.

If a stop market order that sit at broker's server can easily slip a pip or two during a fast market, then I see no reasons slippage wont happen even if both parties using the same broker and VPS. Of course big slippage does not happen everyday but it will eat a lot of your tiny scalping profit once it happens.

It just does not worth the risk for signal followers.

slippage during the high impacted news events?
you mean: someone will make a scalping during impacted economic news with the spread increased? if yes so it is his choice ...

--------------------

Because I am talking about signal system in general, and you are talking about good scalping EA for example ...

If signal provider is not having such a "slip a pip or two" cases (and his scalping strategy is profitable for at least one year live trading - not backtesting for example) but his followers are having those slips (or two) so it may be of the following reasons:

  • signal provider and/or his followers are not using MQL5 VPS, 
  • broker's reason (decision - change the broker)
  • signal provider and/or his followers are not on the same broker

--------------------

I was reading the example provided by MQ: if provider and his subscribers are on same broker using MQL5 VPS so the subscribers may get (and may not) the trade earlier than provider. Means: provider clicked to open buy, this command is going to the broker's server from VPS and from broker's server directly to subscriber to VPS (same VPS with same location which is most closer to the broker's server) ... so sometimes subscribers can get the trades earlier than provider for example.
Because if everything (provider and subscribers) is within same broker's server and same VPS with same location near the broker's server so the scalping system is possible in this situation.
