Time to switch to futures.....obviously you can trade, you don't need the stress of working your ass off and not getting paid. Keep milking them as long as they remain solvent, but I'd fire up some apex if I were you.

is this on the same free trial account you posted earlier?
- pipmaster77 replied May 7, 2024
so did you receive the 2,000 times 15, my understanding with apex is if you blow them up before payout, you don't get paid. Although I believe it to be payout approval, not actual payout. I cannot believe you are going to go back into forex prop ...

Yes, the simplest solution is to toughen the barrier of entry. Imagine if the barrier of entry wasn't so low for those forex props......we would more than likely still be happily trading at MFF and FTMO today. Competition is good, of course, but it ...

But, on the plus side......the border is wide open and we are now up to 24 genders......sorry, had to do it.

trading thru the 5th, paid on 15th...thru the 20th, paid on 30 or 31........isn't your payout from period ending April 20, should have received April 30th? The PAs you're working on now are your backups, correct? You have so much going on, I lose ...

Yes, sometimes I find myself forcing things when I normally wouldn't take a trade. Not only does it skew the consistency, you need 10 trading days or you miss the payout, then it is monthly vs. bi-weekly. When I have maxed all of the accounts at all ...

You make some great points....for about the cost of a "traditional" 100K challenge (spread over a year), you get MT4, all of the instruments, build a track record, trade real funds and no need to worry about not being paid.

I remember that post by Josh.

You're doing forex, correct? Futures is also an option. I'm sure the indices are available as cash instruments on the forex side?

Understatement of the year.

I agree with the rinse of trash. I was discouraging using 95% of these firms long before it became a problem. Can you elaborate on the futures model not resolving, but prolonging the problem.
- pipmaster77 replied May 7, 2024
You are exactly right, Capa. The futures firms work like well oiled machines because of everything you mention above. No reason it cannot be duplicated in forex. If they do it exactly the same with mega discounted evals and then pay for "stage 2", ...

5%ers still good. I've been paid within the past 3 weeks (after migration) and have yet to see any issues anywhere with them.

Tune in tomorrow, for another episode of "As The Prop Firm Turns"....will Hengi get paid? Which firm will go down next? Will Angelo go to prison? Will Apex pay out 100 million this month? Tune in tomorrow for these answers and more..........

Yes, was looking at TakeProfitTrader as well. Once over the buffer, withdrawal how much you'd like, whenever you like.....it's truly like your own account at that point.............. BUT, once you make 5K, your SIM days are over, you (I believe) are ...

forgot to mention, Friday I like to get out by noon.

Yes, generally speaking, I trade US indices between 10-3. There are exceptions, but those are the hours for the most part.

Yeah, once apple reported, dow went up like 300 in 15 minutes.....after market earnings, got to watch out for them
