Funding pips now has 3 payout timelines. The 100% is a complete joke. {image}
I would do 60% every week with them. If you already have your refund 60 percent is better than waiting a month for 100 percent of something you might not get.

{quote} this all happened off stream last Wed, so who the hell really knows what actually happened other than Matt & Apex. Blowing 9-10K in DD per account (>180K total) in 1 day is absolutely ridiculous trading behavior. With that kind of DD im risking <$500 per trade with a max of 2 losses and I'm done for the day. If I had to guess, I think Matt does way more risky trading away from his live streams. In the past he would routinely miraculously recover from bad loss days off stream.
His latest video mentions it. Regardless whatever happen, people have to realize that there will be bad days. No one smashes it consistently. He let his losses (on that day) get into his head and it snowballed. You just have to set limits for yourself and stick to it. Its a mental game that will always test you.
Trade with confidence, trade without fear.

Somebody here knows how to backtest Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) on futures (ES and Euro) for a longer period of time? I wanted to add this to my strategy because of potential to differentiate between A and B setups, but even with Tradingview premium the max I can go back to is march this year on the 5 min.

{quote} Are these EA HFT ? I'm asking because if people are really trusting on an EA they could put it working in a demo and then replicate manually those trades in prop account. Yes, some signals will be missed, but statistically they will be winnings and losses.
I have no idea but i spoke to FTMO a few times about using EAs. They say:

"By using a third-party EA, you potentially run a risk of being denied the FTMO Account if you exceed the maximum capital allocation rule."

Since I'm interested in a long-term relationship with a prop trading company that ultimately pays me my profits and doesn't kick me out, I don't know if that would be so clever.

I generally have nothing against the use of EAs and am increasingly of the opinion that it makes sense to automate as much as possible in order to avoid spending an unnecessary amount of time analyzing things and then spending the whole day in front of a screen to place trades at my own discretion, which may then be based on my emotions instead of a sensible plan. I really try to look at trading as a serious/sustainable business. I sometimes have the feeling that I'm the only one here who sees it that way but still has no success with anything.

It is literally the toughest part of trading. Can not tell you how many times I'll make $300 for 3 days in a row and lose $800 on the 4th. Once you can control this, it is literally a game changer. Everyone can make money, most cannot hold on to it.
Even though it is preached over and over, control the losses, the profits take care of themselves........human emotions take over in most.

Exactly, you just have to shake it off and call it an off day. Don’t let it get into your head. If I see that I might be in the start of a losing streak, I’ll size down considerably, reduce trading time, focus on other things. Come back later and reassess.

You probably have to buy a database of futures 5m back adjusted. Recently, I purchased the futures bundle in FirstRateData to backtest a couple of things in Multicharts. It's quite affordable compared with alternatives and so far seems good for me. Not a recommendation.

{quote} Just update my experience with HFT firm Nova, I have gotten 18 payouts from them so far. Yesterday I got my payout in 29 hours from my request to payment credit to my coinbase account, I am glad I traded with Nova, an American firm, I have never had any issues with my payouts. Unfortunately, they don't accept US citizens any more since Mar, 2024
Does anyone here trade with Nova funding? their server has been down since the market opened, I have one open order GbpUsd long which should be Tp already but I can't close the trade. This is supposed to be my last trade for the account. I guess the prop firm is gone now.. I won't see my 19th payout..

{quote} Thats the smart move. Opening new account and trade lot size like max 1 lot in 100K and keeping it consistent is the way to go rather than fixing existing account. As higher Dawin ratio more returns and less work.
Question for anyone with Darwinex knowledge......I completed futures 15 day calibration Friday, will be getting my rating today. On the forex account, I must have not traded enough, just completed today, but they only issue Dawins on Monday, so not getting that one until July 8.......
If I trade this week, will it affect my rating, or are they only using the data from the period which completed today?

Looks like yes, that AI assistant is deadly accurate in understanding questions.
That's good as I didn't perform nearly as well on the forex side as futures. I have a week to clean it up a bit.

I seem a paid agent of Blue Guardian recently but the truth is that I received another payout and, just like the last one, it was fast.
5 hours for the money to be in Rise + account unblocked. 4 figures low.

Lol, you have made over 3,000 posts here, Capa, and are very widely respected.

Nobody imagines you’re a shill for anyone/anything.

high 3 to low 4 figures look like the best payout option for fast payments and no "invest bigger time to find a reason to not pay" period.

something doesn't add up thats my personal opinion....
-Looks like he decided to be greedy and go heavy once the profit caps were removed, based on what he wrote. He probably tried to trade bigger sizes and pushed it too far.

Perhaps he figured that he could easily bounce back, given the amount of money that he has pulled out of Apex. It is a bad decision, though, if you ask me. There is no need to get greedy and risk blowing the accounts and/or getting flagged for gambling behavior etc..

Even once the profit caps are removed, I see no reason to change anything. Keep things simple and easy. Do not draw unwanted attention to yourself; avail of the opportunity for as long as possible. If the monthly profits are not enough, then diversify. Just my opinion.

I thought it will violate apex rules by changing trading sizes,
because I did that a couple of times by accident.. I thought I won't get paid...I hope I was wrong
