Frequently Asked Questions in TickerSense.org

  • To begin, you create a MetaTrader 5 (MT5) account with any broker of your choice — you have full freedom to decide whether it’s a demo or a live account. Once your MT5 account is ready, simply choose one of our plans and connect it to your mt5 account.

    After selecting a plan, we’ll provide you with a special monitoring Expert Advisor (EA). This EA does not trade on your behalf. Instead, it securely connects your MT5 account to our platform so we can track your performance in real time.

    The challenge itself is straightforward:

    • At each stage, your goal is to achieve a 10% profit based on your account balance.
    • Reaching that target advances you to the next stage, where a new 10% goal begins.
    • Every stage comes with a payout opportunity. According to our Payout Table, you can withdraw your earnings immediately after completing a stage.

    It’s important to note that risk management is key:

    • If your account drops by 10% at a stage, the plan ends.
    • In that case, you would need to restart the challenge from the beginning by selecting a new plan.

    This structure is designed to reward consistent, disciplined trading. For example, if you start with a $10,000 account, your first profit target is $1,000. Once you reach it, you advance to the next stage and can withdraw funds according to the payout table. However, if at any point your account falls by 10% of your initial balance during that stage, the attempt ends. Your initial balance is updated at the beginning of each stage. For example, if your initial balance is $10,000 in Stage 1, it will be $11,000 in Stage 2. In that case, you would need to make $1,100 in profit to clear Stage 2. But if your equity falls below $9,900 (a 10% drawdown), the plan ends there

  • The trader must use a demo or live account from any broker that offers MetaTrader 5 (MT5) — any MT5 broker in the world is acceptable. The balance of this demo account can be of any size. After setting up the demo account, the trader will receive a monitoring Expert Advisor (EA) from us, which is installed on MetaTrader 5. This EA is attached to their selected account and automatically transmits account data and trading activity to our platform, linking it with their profile on our website. Although traders are allowed to use their real accounts, we highly recommend using a demo account for safety and simplicity during the Plan phases.

  • The Expert Advisor (EA) provided by our company acts as a monitoring tool — essentially a communication bridge between your trading account and our platform. You install this EA on the MetaTrader 5 account you choose to trade on (demo or real). Once installed, it automatically sends essential data such as your equity, balance, and trade history to our platform. This information allows us to keep your dashboard up to date and accurately track your progress, current stage, and whether you’ve met the profit or risk conditions of your plan. The EA does not execute trades or interfere with your strategy — it only monitors and reports data securely.

  • You can trade any instrument available on your broker's MetaTrader 5 platform — including forex pairs, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, metals like gold and silver, stocks, indices, and more. There’s only one technical condition: The commission should not be positive — in other words, your broker should not pay you to place trades. The spread must not be negative — trades should not open directly in profit due to pricing issues. Whether the broker charges you a commission or not, or whether the spread is zero or above, is fine — as long as it’s not negative in any way. Our monitoring Expert Advisor automatically checks for these conditions. If any instrument doesn’t meet the required criteria, the EA will notify you and prevent trading on that specific symbol.

  • No — there are absolutely no limitations that restrict your trading style or strategy. You have complete freedom to trade however you like: any time frame, any number of trades, any method you prefer. The only technical checks in place are handled automatically by the monitoring Expert Advisor. It ensures that: Your broker's spread and commission conditions are valid (not negative), The price of the instrument on your broker is reasonably aligned with the global market price (to avoid manipulated or highly inaccurate feeds). Once the EA confirms these conditions, you're free to trade without any further limitations. The only requirement is to either reach your profit target or hit your maximum loss threshold — aside from that, how and when you trade is entirely up to you.

  • It's always a simple 1:1 ratio between your profit target and maximum loss. 10% of your account balance in each stage. Totally under your control.

  • Depends on your plan , for example in our 10$ Plan Your first payout happens after you successfully reach your profit target in Stage 2 — based on our payout table. From that point on, every time you hit a target in the next stages, your share of the profit will be sent to you right on schedule, according to that same payout plan. See payout table here

  • Yes, you can hedge our plans, but it's highly recommended to do so in stages that include payouts. For example, you can hedge your trade at stage 3 elsewhere and secure a guaranteed payout—either through our platform or wherever you’ve hedged the trade.

  • Our mathematical models show that by taking on a slightly higher risk, you can generate significantly more profit.

    Let’s compare what happens when you trade with your own $200 vs. using our $200 plan:

    Stage Your Own $200 Account Platform Growth (Plan $200)
    Stage 1 (TP Hit) $200 $100
    Stage 2 $400 $250
    Stage 3 $600 $550
    Stage 4 $800 $1050
    Stage 5 $1000 $1,850
    Stage 6 $1,200 $3,050
    Stage 7 $1,400 $5,050
    Stage 8 $1,600 $8,550
    Stage 9 $1,800 $14,550
    Stage 10 $2,000 $26,550

    As you can see, with your own $200 you might end up at $2000, but with our plan your value could exceed $26,000+.

    If a trader incurs a loss at Stage 1, the loss is equivalent to that experienced with a traditional broker. However, if the loss occurs at Stage 2, it amounts to an extra $100 compared to a live account, reflecting a slightly higher risk. In any other case, a profitable trader advancing to higher stages can achieve significantly greater returns on a $200 account on our platform.

    Regarding prop firms: many operate on a model that resembles a Ponzi scheme—one that does not generate real money. We believe that the rules and conditions set by prop firms stray far from the true nature of genuine business and trading. As you might have noticed, securing payouts from prop firms is extremely difficult, as your profit directly represents their loss. Every Ponzi scheme is destined to collapse eventually, with later participants suffering substantial losses. In contrast, our platform generates real money using sophisticated mathematical models, and we impose no arbitrary rules to limit traders.

  • No , KYC is only required for our $200 plan. There’s no KYC requirement for any other plan.
