Nothing is free health care is shit hold. Unless you are dying no body cares. you will be waiting for years to get specialist appoitment. I rather spend money on buying personal insurance than paying taxes.

{quote} Your eval fee would be deductable here. your payouts from sim minus the prop firms cut would be taxable. You only paid i.e 254USD, so you cannot deduct more than you paid, even though the sim accoun is 50k. Just as you will not be taxed 50k in income for passing an eval and gaining a funded sim.
if one spent 25k in evals and made 100k after all the fees/splits, only 75k is taxable right?

{quote} Capital gains? How the heck are they using that on Prop trading? Normally they are used for appreciating assets, for example, I owned taxi licenses for years, and when I sold one, I had to pay 50K just for Capital Gains, that hurt, since I took all the risk, paid the loans, did all the work, got out before UBER was the only lucky thing. So, they are saying that every evaluation or instant funding account is worth something and has appreciated in value? Therefore, you should claim the loss accounts against them as those values went to ZERO....
i wish mine were classified as capital gains tax. No capital gains tax on individuals here.

Very good day so far. Made 2k+ on 3 blusky sim funded and 2k+ on 3 takeprofittrader pro on the first day. On track for first blusky payout.

Also passed the buffer + payout cap (3.5k + 3.5k) for thelegendstrading. Should be able to request 3.5k x 5 after 2 more days. ***Don't do anything stupid***

Hey guys, I'm looking to start up some new accounts for 2026 and I'd prefer staying clear of FE and BGF, so I'm looking at other firms to go with instead.

If I had the $$$ I would go STF with either Lucid or Tradeify, but I'm going for the normal lower cost funding model, so looking for the best firms with $50k account options.

I'm down to either MFF, Lucid, or Tradeify, they all seem pretty similar and are all paying out with no issues.

What do you guys think? Thanks.

No -the above is about $111 per month whereas the "Lightening Instant" is a one off payment BUT it has a 20% consistency rule.
CFD props like FTMO and Funded Trading Plus have no consistency rules but I may be criticised here for venturing from Futures. CFD's are allowed and popular in Europe but attract flack from USA based traders ( sometimes)

Theoretically, I think Fx props are more lenient. However, it seems like a lot of firms are implementing 1-2% rules on trade ideas.

Future props are still in the wild wild west stage where you can yolo. FX prop firms censured me for trading 40 lots of US100 on a 200k account once upon a time. Some futures firms allow up to 10 contracts for NQ on a 100k account (that usually has a 3k drawdown), which is equivalent to 200 lots.

It is all casino model. The more signups more linient and if they dried up start implementing strict rules.

I read a lot about Apex Trader Funding over the weekend....I was not able to find even one trader who was transitioned to a live account?

How does this make sense for Apex.
Drawdown is more important than Account Size !

{quote} Never heard of them will look into... But as i am now struggling with taxes as well... COuple of CA's told me its going to be 50% taxes..... Its all capital gains and - SO first 50% will be 0% and next 50% will be added to my income.. My physical job income is already in top tier bracket which is being taxed at 39% and now adding the monstrous Props payouts on top of it it's gonna balloon atleast 5-6 times..... ALso mofo's it so hard...
I feel you, all for our governments to hand out all of that money to a bunch illegal immigrants invading us, wars that aren't our own and too many welfare recipients that feel completely entitled to it and have no intention of ever earning money for themselves. In the US we actually have congressmen/woman calling for a full on revolt on income tax payments as we are all sick of it.
Sorry for the topic tangent guys.

These casinos aka props aren’t thriving from live traders. They’re thriving from failed accounts. Make it cheap enough to get in, entice with one day pass, etc. make the rules fuzzy af, profit!
Trade with confidence, trade without fear.

Do you think prop firm gets income for live account? Live account is nice way to say profitable trader to get out. Every thing depends on new signups.

Even that it wont cover specialist appointment line as according to goverment money should not buy wait time . Goverment needs to be fair. Make every ones life miserable instead of selected ones....One still needs months of wait time depending on location. Better location more shit.
