34000% profit in a forward test! Need help with FIX API
Hence, I am willing to use a FIX API to solve this problem since I am convinced that MT4/5 will not work because of the brokers' plugins to limit such strategies, plus I intend to trade large volumes, thereby attracting even more slippage. I do not intend to make 34000% gains every month, it is only for the sake of the test. If you look closely, you may notice that the EA didn't perform optimally because we were trying to tweak the logic to make the trade duration longer (it didn't work).
I have some contacts at PrimeXM who are willing to help me with this, but I am an absolute newbie with the entire idea of FIX API. I am still learning about this, and from what I understand, I believe that I have enough funds to try this option out since it seems worth it. I would appreciate it if someone here can shed more light on that subject, like using the right brokers for FIX API or your experiences or any suggestions. Unfortunately, the programmer I worked with has no experience with this, so if you are willing to help, please reach out to me, and I would be pleased to work with you.
Thank you!
Hey @CronusHermes
I did a deep google search to find someone in the same situation as me and I found you. I also have a money printing HFT scalping EA on MT4 and MT5. On Demo with most brokers it works beautifully and prints money like nothing else but on Live..... it flops badly. I realized too that it's likely to do with 2 things: The broker restricting my trading with last look, partial fills and induced slippage. And the fact MT4/5 are way too slow to send my order messages across to the LP so I also came to the conclusion that FIX API is my best bet with a broker that openly supports HFT trading. I'm considering going with either Scandinavian markets or LMAX.
By nature i'm also a good trader and a sh*t programmer. The strong presence of AI (claude and GPT) we have now will be helpful for the coding part and I hope it has benefited you too.
You probably won't read this message but if you do, please reply back and let me know how things turned out for you? That would be a real eye opener and very helpful for my journey.
Thanks
