Lol, do you work for Big Pip Funding? Because 8cap said the definitely don't work with those guys.

I was checking out Big Pip Funding as their account sizes seemed a bit off from what other props at 8Cap offer. So, I contacted 8Cap support and they said they don't have any relationship with them. Seems strange. Maybe they are just making demo ...

I love how the term "ECN" is still kicking around. Just as an FYI - it's not actually real. It started to emerge in 2012 when Pepperstone and IC Markets were using it as some of their marketing spin. IC took it to the next level as part of their ...

Yeah, 10 lots and 50 lots are pretty big orders. I highly doubt most brokers would have 5,000,000 in liquidity at the top of their order book. Even 10 lots (1,000,000) can be really dependent upon time of day. If you are trading in non-US session ...

If there's no slippage, than it's probably demo / instant execution. The whole point Takisd raised about people screaming about slippage reminded me about the divide between retail and institutional traders. Watched this video recently on technical ...

Translation also required for Aussie VB drinkers!

The only other Tier 1 brokers I've seen apart from Eightcap are Global Prime and Equiti. Lux Trading use Global Prime. Pretty sure Traders 4 Traders use Equiti. For Tier 2 brokers, I've seen Purple Trading and Vital Markets as being the ones a few ...

I'm kinda not surprised about OranJuice's post after digging into The Prop Trading AU a bit. It looks like they are using a "broker" called The Brokers Capital. Completely unregulated and the website gives me the feeling if I deposit money, I'm ...

The most useful information I've got from FF is on the various strategies people use. Definitely early on in my trading I was keen to explore different strategies and see what works for me and what doesn't. The two best sources I found for this was ...

I've always been a fan of Rob Booker. I remember seeing Rob when he came to Australia (must have been around 2017). One of the best trading conferences I've attended. Not sure about the quality of the guidance he was providing, but damn he was ...

Hey, I thought everyone might be interested in this. Came across it today - video with the owner of Funded Trading Plus and a guy that runs the technology for a lot of prop firms on the future of the prop industry: ...

Thanks for sharing!

Jumping in on this thread given I'm pretty damn heavy short EURUSD. Been shorting for a few months now and scaled into the position at various points but net trade position is short around parity. So, I'm keen to keep tabs on everyone's views. ...

Correct - TFTP. Yeah, that's a fair comment, now that I think about it. I do feel like it's a younger crowd for sure. I guess what impressed me was the level of engagement. I've probably spent too much time in crypto discord communities lately that ...

Depends on your trading style. If you are macro / fundamental, I think Bloomberg Terminal is pretty solid. Seen some pretty amazing marco correlations and analysis that's come out of Bloomberg Terminal before. The ability to overlay different ...

I got to admit, I do like the community that The Funded Trader have. I'm in their discord. It's great. The other prop I've traded with is Funded Trading Plus - which was also a reasonable experience. But yeah, to answer your question; 3rd would be ...

You could use a scraping extension like "Instant Data Scraper". That's how I would do it.

I've been trading for around 9 years (on and off) and would have to agree that a lot of my performance has been influenced by my psychology. I think for any trader who is serious about trying to make money in this game, it's all about having a ...

I find that July and August are actually worst in term of low liquidity / spikes / not much action in the markets. Mainly because EU and US are on holidays. December tends to have a few good surprises that can turn into trade opportunity - ...

Yeah, I've never heard of a broker manipulating a demo environment. The only difference with demo is that brokers don't pay as much attention to the performance of a demo server. So usually there are more problems / poor performance on demo compared ...
