My prop list for my personal project is as follows: 5ers e8 MFFX (as painful as that is) Maven (equally as painful) ICFunded I do not include FTMO . . ..
MFFX is actually the best in your list
I thought those who cannot trade will conduct courses. But it looks like those who cannot trade will continue their search for the besttest than best prop firm.

{quote} Tradeify account update : End of day equity on day 2 ( end of friday ) was 51220. Day 3 ( today ) profit : 600 $ Day 3 equity : 51820. Done for sunday / Monday. Now, I have to deal with FXIFY account only for the rest of the day.
A small update.

Yeah, I have done most of it in Asia itself, but then when I found price was attractive, i took long in MESZ and made little more.

Profit made today 1060

Equity as of now : 52280

End of day 3 for me.
Intraday only.

I have downloaded a copy of this whole video.
Watch later when got time in full detail & make summarized notes.

Well let me tell you apex like trailing drawdown model based on highest equity reached unrealized is now being followed in forex prop firms as well.
There are new firms popping up in forex prop firms that follows the same. The only difference is they are still forex prop firms and not futures & free from those activation fees and monthly fees and data fees once you become funded.

Trailing Drawdown is bad until you make it lock. Once it gets locked, it will become same like absolute drawdown but you have to treat once its get locked like its a fresh account now and you have not traded before. But yeah Trailing Drawdown puts us in extra pressure and put lot of limitation that we can't yolo our trades and sit back relax. Absolute Drawdown is easy when compared to Trailing Drawdown. But I have seen people failing both. The reason is they are so much in hurry. Even in apex, futures, people wanna pass like in 1 days or 2 days. Trailing Drawdown requires lot of trade management and note down things and equity and other stuff.

When people were trading forex prop firms, they were in hurry saying that they wanna make as much as money possible before the forex prop firms goes out of the business. Forget about going, there are more coming everyday. Forex props don't want to give payout to those hurry traders who trade here and there taking like 50 trades in a row just want to see net profit at the day in trade terminal. Those traders are useless for the firm because they create mess in trades history and give no value to prop firm so as to help them in copy trading and data analysis. And then people create a fuss out of it that they deny their payout. Look at yourself, you give no value, no data, nothing to prop firm.

And even when people are trading FUTURES prop firms now like apex, they are still in hurry, why??
People are asking how to pass apex in like 1 day or within 7 days. OMG. When You have to make almost 2x the amount of trailing drawdown. LOL
People are in hurry no matter what, they just want some excuse to offset their FOMO & FEAR & GREED.

This is a lengthy interview with John Skelton, COO and co-founder of Apex Trader Funding, discussing the company's tumultuous summer. The core issue was explosive, unexpected growth (doubling in size in 60-90 days) combined with a surge in fraudulent activity and schemes exploiting Apex's relatively lax rules, particularly regarding dollar-cost averaging (DCA). This overwhelmed Apex's staff and systems, leading to payout delays and widespread dissatisfaction.

John admits Apex made mistakes: they weren't prepared for the rapid growth, underestimated the prevalence of fraudulent activity, and their communication was poor. However, he emphasizes that Apex has taken significant steps to rectify the situation: doubling staff, implementing new monitoring systems to proactively identify fraudulent activity, improving communication, and refining their payout process. Payouts are now much faster, often within 24 hours.

A significant portion of the conversation centers on the tension between creating a widely accessible, affordable funding program and preventing its exploitation by fraudulent traders. John defends Apex's model of providing multiple accounts, arguing that it’s intended to foster better risk management and allow for scaling trades appropriately rather than encouraging excessive risk-taking. He believes the rapid growth revealed vulnerabilities, leading to unintended consequences and making it necessary to impose stricter rules regarding DCA.

Looking ahead, John expects increased regulation within the prop trading industry and envisions Apex as the leader in a changed market. Apex is focused on clarifying rules and improving transparency to prevent future misunderstandings and reduce instances of unwarranted denial. He anticipates stricter regulations in the industry.

Some updates on broker-backed prop firms, none have matched my personal criteria yet. The closest candidate is still Blueberry Funded if they are willing to adjust their pricing, even if profit sharing is reduced and the profit target is lowered, with a period 30-day challenge. I think there’s a middle ground to be found. Before that, just practice. Ideal 50k price I think $200, 1-Step Eval, Static Drawdown -6% and Profit Target 6%, 67% profit share would be about 10x gain ($2000). Target Profit 10% in a month with all blueberry rules? I dont think I could, in this time.

*$200 USD here about Rp3.15 Mio IDR (The average minimum wage of regular employees per month).

Hantec only has a static DD in challenge phase. In Funded it's trailing.
Oanda is trailing.

If this is to be an exhaustive broker backed you may consider in adding Sway and Nordic Funder (both also trailing) and FXIFY (static)
It seems like trailing DD is making a comeback.
