Ok so I think in long term the two is better option than FTMO. Plus, no challenge, no verification. But short term, you will be in a poor house for awhile and with FTMO you make serious money right away just pass challenge and verification.
You make a valid point sir!

Yes with FTMO long term one is definitely going to be better off.

The whole idea of paying people every two weeks from the very start is what attracted me to this model (Forextips and Myff). The added bonus of a live account whether it be a $15k or a $10k account is great but the drawcard was always the bi-weekly payout. If one goes for the $100k option and like doing an FTMO challenge you manage to get up to $10k profit in 2 weeks (not so difficult if you have a $100k balance) then you've got a nice $1000 payout and if you hold on to that $10k profit and add another $5k you've then got another $1500 to come the next 2 weeks. $2500 in ones pocket is not too bad. And with Myff when one gets to the third month that payout goes up to $3750! Not too bad.

Also with Myff there is now no monthly subscription to worry about which is a big plus!

Lastly the idea of course would be to take some of ones bi-weekly profit and buy extra challenges, FTMO challenge as well of course, to boost one's payouts.

Sounds great in theory anyway!

You got yours quicker then I got mine! I think these guys are Pacific time zone so if you're in Europe or Asia there will be some delay because I presume everything is done manually until they grow a bit.

Hope they get those videos up and running ASAP

I'll more then likely be joining you on Thursday as they've offered me a good deal on a reset. Seeing that there is no subscription now, it's an offer I can't really refuse!

Ok, this FTMO is acting stupid. I got stop at BE but it wasn't executed so I had to close it manually. Good thing i'm in front of the screen. Imagine if I wasn't and this is a real challenge and not in front of the computer, I would be upset. I lost $10 on that stupid thing. So far up today positive $668. I got one trade running currently at BE. But if I close it now I'll be up total of $778 today. However, I wanna let this one run. Either it hits my BE, trailing stop or TP. If this one hits the target then I'm almost done with the challenge as this will net me $1,000 today.

Can't show the FTMO equity curve as it's not yet updated.

Should have taken the short signal on GU instead. This one is already at TP4. And I thought EU is weaker. And my story of the day

Well done on that one! USD suddenly became strong after NY open - something to do with some good news out of the US.

And here comes my favorite video. I close slightly early and took half out near the low of the day. So I'm only up $950 today

Sometimes they also reverse it after PIT session. This is what happened here. Also, monthly candle just ended, they sometimes retrace a bit if it close that strong end of the month. That and I saw DXY fly.

If the double bottom on this monthly chart works. Dunno maybe TP4 on this chart is next. They just hit TP3 so maybe TP4 is next. Won't happen right away, it might take couple of months or never.

It seems there is drama on the FTMO forum. I am not the only one that had a problem with a trade not getting executed. On my case its the stop loss that got hit and did not close. Like my papa always say, always feel the water before jumping in. He is right again lol.

OK this new offer starts from Wednesday this week. This is OPTIONAL! Key differences no consistency rule aka ideal for many aggressive strategies only 2 trading days per week required higher payout 20% 90% profit split You may opt into this model on Wednesday or later. You may access the live account WHENEVER it reaches $15k. Profit split on these live accounts will also be increased. Traders on the aggressive model will keep 90%. All details will be available on the website Wednesday. http://forextips101.com/funding-talent/ref/71/...

Wednesday and still seems no announcement on their site about this new offer on forextips101. In the meantime the 'no monthly fees offer with myforexfunds looks very enticing

Yes Freefox you're right - I've also been checking but of course their Wednesday only starts this afternoon sometime - I think that they are also Pacific time - not too sure.

Totally agree with you that Myff is very enticing now. I really like the stepped up payments up to 15% too. As I said before, to me the MAIN benefit with this model is the bi-weekly pay-out. I'm sure that I'm not the only one who wants to see the money ASAP. "You can't make the scene if you ain't got the green" (just loved that movie!)

It will be interesting to see what this aggressive option exactly amounts to but if it's 20% that's all paid into the eventual live account without any money being paid into my pocket after 2 weeks, it's definitely not for me!

Too many excuse to kick out a trader like this one. This consistency rule is really putting a bad taste to me. What if it's a great day? Most likely, I will want to trade more. If the day is bad, I stop after 2 consecutive losses. And what other consistency can you violate not mentioned there?

I want to jump in, but that rule keeps bothering me.

Let me know your experience with them.

Yes bro that is the one downer but on the other side of the coin it does prevent one from adding to losing trades/over leveraging which is probably the biggest cause of blow outs!

Ok, for me, I'll wait for them to remove that inconsistency rule before jumping in. It's the only one preventing me to join them. Hopefully, they do not put that monthly fee. If they put the monthly fee the 10% profit you make from the simulation is going to get eaten by it.

Still doing this free trial, currently, no profit no loss, for the day. This US Session, is currently ranging for EU/GU.

Edit: Was able to make $140 only today. Still need $600 to finish the trial.

One of the disadvantage of FTMO is can not reset the funded account if you violate one of the rules.

Have to pay for new challenge again.... Start all over.

Traded 2 days on MFF.... so far so good. No account metric on their website. Hard to be aware if i broke any of their rules.
