MFF had 1000 traders sign up for Evaluation Aggressive accounts. Only 9 traders moved to live accounts and 2 traders remain live today (numbers mentioned by MFF on their webinar). How about this for interesting statistics. MFF discontinued Evaluation Aggressive accounts for now due to too high failure. They made loads of money from all those failed traders but I like that they stopped the program to rework it to find a way to lower the failure rate. This way less people lose money. Wondering if FTMO would do the same. MFF could've easily kept Aggressive...
Yes, never did understand why someone would choose that model with MFF or FTMO.

{quote} Right, but my point is if you are actually going to use the 50:1, you are done with a 10 pip move against you. That's what I mean by irrelevant, it's still all about the DD. You simply can only lose so much, so you must adjust your leverage to reflect what you can lose.
Lol but who would use the whole 1:50 on one 10 pip trade though?

MFF
with 1:50 Lev.
and 5% DD,
10 pips SL
i risk 1% of my $10,000 account on EURUSD ($100 risk)
my Position size would be 1 Lot (i'd be using only about 1:8 or 1:10 of my total lev)

A Loss = $100 (-1%, still have 4% left to lose)
or
A 2R Win = $200. (+2% added, i now have 7% of DD to play with)

5ers
With 1:6 Lev
and 4% DD
10 pips SL
i can not risk up to 1% like i did with MFF, so i have to risk only 0.40%. My Position size would be 0.40.
(The most i would totally be able to risk on this same trade on my $10,000 account with a 10 SL is about 0.40%. (Using my total 1:6 leverage allowance)

A Loss = $40 (-0.4%, still have 3.6% left to lose)
or
A 2r win = $80 (+0.8% added, i now have 4.8% of DD to play with)

Which gives you more opportunity to grow and scale up faster?

What exactly am i doing with a $10,000 funded account if i can't even risk up to 0.50% ($50) on a trade right from the start?
I mean, you've given me only 4% worth of DD to play with, while still limit/stop me from taking a position that risks only 1% from the 4%?


Not saying these direct funding programs are great..
I'm not even comparing them with Eval accounts.. IMO there's absolutely no comparison there...
I'm only responding to the Comparison between 5ers direct fundng and MFF's direct funding.
and one obviously gives you more room to make more money if you're having a good run.

Yes, exactly my point, you are not going to use the 1:50 and if you are using 1:8 or 1:9 with a 5% DD, you are probably not going to open another trade until you have that one locked at BE. That's where the higher leverage would definitely be an advantage, the ability to open additional trades, once you've locked BE+ on others.
No leverage (1:1) allows a 10,000 pip loss, 2:1 allows 5,000, 10:1 allows 1,000, etc. Just basic numbers with USD as the base, obviously cross pairs and non USD base are different, just using this for the sake of illustration. Those are the numbers if you have 100% DD allowed, with 5%, they all need to be cut by 20. So now 10:1 only allows a 50 pip loss and you've violated 5% DD rule. It just doesn't give much room regardless of the leverage BEING OFFERED.

Ahhh Pip you're not seeing what I'm trying to say.

With MFF, If you risk 1% with a 1 lot Position size... You have used only 1:10 of your given 1:50.
You can still open 2 more 1 lot trades, even without moving SL to B.E.
If you lost all 3 trades, you would still have 2% left of your DD.

My point here is that YOU CAN!!. . Because of the higher leverage, you can afford to take on more risk for more reward.

With 5ers, YOU CAN'T!! ...
forget about the max DD for a minute... It does not matter in this example because the losses in this example on both accounts don't put you at the risk of breaching the limit.
All I'm talking about here is earning potential... Look at it from that POV... Forget about the DD.

OK, don't shoot!!! lol. I get the earning potential aspect. My only point is regardless of the leverage offered, you can still only lose $500 on that 10K account.

I've done some math for everyone to demonstrate the difference between eval and live on the MFF. Going to compare the 200K eval vs the 20K live conventional as they are approx the same cost. 949 vs 970. 1st "stage" requires 8% on eval, which pays you 2% $320 same 8% on 20K live pays you $800 2nd "stage" requires 5% pays you 4% $400 same 5% on 20K live pays you $500 you are now trading a 200K account on eval model and you are now scaled to 40K on live Going to assume 5% per month from here on just for simplicity 1st month funded 200K @ 5% @ 75% split...
So, just learned, moving forward, no 2% or 4% on first 2 stages and 100% refund not 112%, so numbers need to be reduced by $833 on eval model [320+400+113(the excess above 100% refund)]

Wait what do you mean? They eliminated the bonus payments on the Challenge and Verification? And extra 2% on fee refund?

My understanding from re-watching the interviews, it was a promotion and was said that it was going to be removed eventually.

{quote} FWIW the 5ers acct seem to be real, feel to be real, acts as real (use the mt5). bcos a lot tighter rules, assume that discourage most gambling attempts, the period is a longer min days trading period too. since the leverage limits very large lot type all or nothing trading, and every position have to have a SL attached, those probably also serve toward screening out the traders more serious about responsible money handling. plus for the initial stage (lvl1) which generally equals the challenge+verification sort of, the firm is fully covered...
ok, valid points, there is still the legal hurdle, perhaps they have a work-around

these models flat out suck for the trader.
ignoring the increased profit when funding your own account option for a moment (because not everyone has access to the leverages required), in your view are the restrictions in these models (little DD and buying power) not workable because of your trading style and personality, or because the restrictions by design will ensure failure for most traders regardless of trading style and personality?

So now it seems that we can get a $50K account on MFF for the same initial fee of a $25K FTMO account (aprox.250€ if converted to EUR), things are starting to get interesting.

Some of these "Prop" firms calculate their DD allowance differently. Some calculate DD on running equity, some on closed trades which means on balance. Can make a massive difference to your chances of success.
