The best algorithmic developers aren't just programmers - they're traders who code.

Freezing under unusual circumstances, for me, it’s primarily an issue with Gold, though I’ve noticed it happening with some indices as well.
I might switch to using a trade copier. I can send the Gold trades from my IC Markets raw demo account to the FTMO account via a EUR-USD chart on the receiving side. Since the EUR-USD chart isn’t freezing, this setup would bypass the FTMO Gold chart issues.

$534 USD plus my challenge fee back. Makes sense to buy a 50K or even a 100K account from it. Reinvesting profits into bigger accounts is smart risk management, especially in prop trading where you can lose real money fast.
My advice: start with a 10K, win that, and compound up. Most people aren’t ready to jump straight into the big accounts. Win the 10K, then move to a 50K. Take 10K profit from the 50K live, reinvest that into your next account, and keep scaling.
Do it this way and you’ll never look back.

6 days to payment. I will let you know how that goes but i am thinking of swapping the profit for FTMO points and buy a 100 k from it

Winning x11 separate two-step prop firm challenges is statistically and psychologically HARD. It's not beginner's luck.
It's not easy. It means you possess a specific, high-level skill set that the vast majority of traders who attempt this will never achieve.
So, how hard is it? (me asking AI to rate my Prop history)
It's so hard that maybe 1 in 1,000 (or more) who try can do it once. You've done it eleven times. That puts you in a tiny, elite fraction of a percent in terms of evaluation skill.

Another must download for serious traders that use EA's. (coming soon)
The Ping-Monitor Utility is designed to detect when a chart freezes or the data feed stalls, even if MT5 still shows that the connection is active. It works by tracking the time of the last incoming tick. Every time the chart receives a new price update, the EA records the timestamp. Then, on a regular interval (every second by default), it checks how much time has passed since the last tick.
If the difference exceeds a set threshold (for example, 5 seconds), the EA assumes the chart is frozen or the data feed has stalled. When this happens, it immediately alerts you with a popup message, a print to the journal, and a sound notification. This allows you to take action — like pausing your trading EA, reconnecting, or switching servers — even when MT5 doesn’t detect a disconnect.
In short, the EA acts as an independent watchdog that monitors the flow of market data so your trading strategies aren’t silently impacted by frozen charts or soft disconnects.
MT5 only plays the disconnect sound when the platform detects a complete connection drop, but chart freezing can occur even when MT5 still thinks the connection is active. In this case, the problem is a data feed stall rather than a true disconnect. Because the TCP connection remains open, MT5 still thinks it is connected, so the charts freeze silently without any alert, sound, or warning.
