{quote} The thing that bothers me about FT is the threats. Clearly they threatened him, I know they threatened me. So who else did they threaten? How many people gave in to the threats? Other than bullshit market conditions, a slow ass feed and lying to court what else did they do? To how many people? I wonder how many people have taken it as far as contacting the regulator and I wonder what impact this will have on prop firms, I suspect that regulation is coming and this model will shift offshore or something. Buckle up folks, its going to be quite...
Exactly why I've been trying to encourage everyone to stay away from the shady firms. If nobody uses them, there are no complaints, there is, of course, also no business and they just go away. I'm pretty confident the companies I use either a) already have this scenario covered or b) have a plan in place to react quickly. As a US trader, regulation is pretty much what steered me towards looking the prop firm route in the first place. Man will it piss me off it something else gets pulled from under me by regulation, especially, if it's simply due to a few bad firms that should've been stayed away from in the first place. MFF pays, FTMO pays, the 5%ers pay, there is no need to be looking for the holy grail, with 1% more DD or $100 less fee or 2% higher split. As Mastermind stated, the fee is refunded anyway, shouldn't be a huge factor in choosing a firm. If you can trade, simply choose the proven firms with the proven payouts. There are enough of us here to confirm who to use and who not to. As far as the new ones coming up, simply ask Takisd to run a feed test, he will let you know if they are legit.

As far as FT, if your using them , just STOP. Take the L. I think they have given enough indicators now to confirm they are a scam....

1. Only paying a certain % and deferring to the next pay period
2. Takisd EA experiment on their fake feed, where he made millions in just hours
3. Their "LPs" pulling indices, metals, etc
4. Their numerous payout denials

If nobody feeds the machine, the machine will simply stop working.

I follow a podcast which is pretty much above board considering the vast majority are scammers.
For a while they were also emphasising FT.
I noticed recently that FT had been removed as a recommendation so can only assume they have been informed that FT is a potential scam outfit.
FTMO do pay out, I’ve been paid.

This is gold. If I were that guy I'd report them to the regulator in Nova Scotia to see what happens, albeit Canadian regulatory agencies can be awfully slow to act. Given that FT have stated to authorities that it's all just simulation then they don't really have a line of defence when it comes to not paying this guy out because if that's the case then he hasn't done anything wrong. In theory, if you're not breaking any drawdown rules then there's no reason to deny you your share of the profits, unless the operation is a scam.

Great post.

Enough information now to keep clear of this FT 'firm'.

Traders be careful.

A few people have spoken to the lead investigator person who took them to court before. I think that the regulator wants their head too based on the conversations I've been having. I wouldn't be surprise if action is taken very soon. Its one thing to have a regulator work against you, its another to piss them off. My instinct tells me that during the previous case the sociopath managed to piss off the regulator and they are actively looking to take them out.

Anyone who imagines that Funding Talent might be a legitimate company, but is open to the possibility that that belief may be a mistaken one, might find this "testimonial" interesting reading - especially if they research it a little further to verify that it checks out.

IMO some regulation will be introduced sooner or later on this kind of business across EU/US.
Luckily enough, regulators are often lazy, so who knows how long it takes. Enjoy your profit splits until then.

for myself, I have til Sept 27 to dispute my PayPal transaction with FT, and will wait and see how it plays out, with bots on autopilot, mostly . They have shown both glimpses of promise and serious cause for concern to date, especially after reading the FPA complaint. The PayPal dispute should be a no-brainer if I pursue it, due to the ever-changing less and less favourable trading conditions. If they can straighten up and fly right, which looks very doubtful now, I'll stick with em.

Meanwhile, Lux ticks along. I am down near the 4% max loss, so only most reliable bot on US30, on small size, at present, plus manual trades on US30, til account turns around. They have dropped BTC as an instrument with the move to Global Prime, and don't plan on reviving it. So that sucks.

I suppose FTMO and MFF are next...

You're late to the party. Post # 2818 already has the link posted for this review.

PS. Jessica honey you can always take advantage of our new open border policy here in what used to be known as the USA. I won't let them extradite you back to Canada. I take my assistant director of happiness position very seriously.

whatever is the TF.... for me unimportant.

For me, the risk level..I identify very correctly.

Now, another set of long trades I took with stop loss and TP set.

Well, consuming nearly 25% of your allowed total DD in just a few minutes seems anything but a correct risk level to me

Still trading on my Funding Talent "elite" (sounds impressive) account. I forgot that you can't trade Bitcoin for now and opened a trade for Bitcoin and the fake platform feed opened a trade for USD/CHF instead. Seems realistic
