EFX has taken their bot off “Safe Mode.” This doesn’t mean the bot is going to make lots of money or make up for lost time…but it might. Besides the fallout from the elections, they were also concerned about

My friend helped me summarize EFX’s concerns. The email was received yesterday. Based on the number of new trades placed, the precaution is no longer in place.

The trading bot effectively managed recent market volatility after the election due to its diversified setup, which helps it stay stable. Currently, “Safety Mode” is still active as a precaution, and users will be notified before it’s turned off. Rapid market movements often create temporary price gaps that tend to correct. Significant economic reports are expected Thursday, including the Federal Funds Rate and Unemployment Claims, so the team will keep monitoring conditions closely and provide updates as needed.

Additionally, I want to applaud EFX for proactively reaching out to give us some information on our bot trading platform. My broker also contacted me. Receiving their additional warning shows their commitment to it’s bot users. (My friend also helped me summarize this one.)

OX Securities sent an email about an MT4 version requirement, but since MT4 updates automatically every few months, no action is typically needed. Occasionally, MT4 may freeze, causing a connection error, which routine checks can help spot. A new solution will soon address disconnection issues more permanently. No need for concern—these updates are routine and smooth.

“Removing restraints” during the slow time of the year may not allow my account to achieve double-digit growth. But, it still could. Not every year is it slow, and I would settle for LOW double-digit growth. 😉
