what about lux trading? Honestly seems the only Real prop firm for mortals, with legit and reasonable rules... the rest looks all like ambiguous scammy pyramidal jokes.
on it now... will keep you posted if survive eval. phase.


IMpO only one real prop firm (based on chat I had with them about their stream of income)

I don't even think it's a regulatory issue.

Agreed
-The reason that I suspect possible, regulatory involvement, is due to this excerpt taken from FT's recent statement:

From what I see in the groups, there are a few people who went forward with a case.

They are now basically showing their terms and conditions fine print out in public so that its not hidden and I suspect its going to come up in court when they defend themselves and not lose their homes/cars/etc.

This looks like lawyer induced coverage but from financial compensation not from a regulator. No reason to ditch challenge if its regulatory.

I posted this over on babypips, but will repost here since it is relative:

Quote
The Funding Talent Edge program is a unique opportunity for you to earn real cash rewards as you develop your trading “Edge”. This evaluation free program allows you to get started right away and earn cash daily as you build your simulated account balance.

Quote
Funding Talent’s unique business model allows you to earn cash while learning in a completely safe environment. This type of program will keep you motivated to keep developing your skills, without the risk of losing a large deposit or investment.

Quote
How it works:
1. Sign Up – Choose from an account size of $25K or $100K in fictitious capital
2. Get Started – No evaluation required! Start playing right away
3. Follow the Rules and Get Paid – Build up simulated “profits” on the demo account and cash them in when you meet the requirements

https://fundingtalent.com/edge/

So, you ‘play’ on a ‘simulated account’ with ‘fictitious capital’ to earn ‘simulated profits’ while you ‘learn’? How is this any different than an online casino where nothing is real? And where is the money coming from in order to hand out real cash to 'players' that are not doing anything to generate real profits? Isn’t that how an actual ponzi scheme is structured? Hmm…

In my opinion, this is a violation of gaming laws in canada.

-That's interesting. Is this because FT stopped paying people their profits or something?

Quoting Takisd
No reason to ditch challenge if its regulatory.
-Maybe. Or, they ditched it and transitioned to this new 'EDGE' program that only pays out 25% because they realized that they cannot afford to continue paying out based on how things were structured. Since they admitted already to not having any real trades hitting a live market, it seems evident that they were in fact funding part of the business with fees from failed challenges. That seems very problematic.

They keep digging themselves deeper holes. Knee deep in conflict and embarrassment but won't just shamefully disappear like Fxseed and Tradersprop.
The plump Jessica would rather brag about how much they want to teach traders to succeed while robbing them in daylight.

Well she can't as Fxseed and tradesprop doesn't have huge userbase and they are not located in Canada where rules are worst even for legal firms.
I can see they change gaming because of legal thing. Thats why MyFF may get infected if there are legal issues.
Same thing happened with forex brokers way back in 2008 and than binary options in 2010-2014. Now may be prop firms.
She will have pending lawsuits plus she can't get away unless she files bankruptcy.

I'm in too. But it will takes time. I mean: at least 4 to 8 months for me and the risk i'm taking.

FTMO took me 5 days... lol. But let's be honest. Who would copy the trades of a trader that passed in 5 days. FTMO isn't a prop firm like the other 99% in the industry. And i'm talking as an ftmo "Trader". Keep it in mind.

No long term solution, for sure. Too much ambiguous.

I don't like neither the fact that those "prop firms" invest so much money in advertising, contents, socials etc. Why? Because they make money with the fees, not with the traders. The fact that a prop firm isn't sexy on the internet doesn't mean really nothing.

Go look for Scion Asset Management's website. It's very basic and simplicistic. Though their Asset Under Managament it's something like 2 billions. Same thing for other multimillionaire and billionaire hedge funds with prop trading divisions. They don't care about your 540 eur fee and that's why you will not see them around YT and social media BS. Don't get fooled guys Like in Trading, where the herd goes... ask yourself some questions.

LUX looks like a real deal but leverage is just 1:10, mostly the same conservative approach as 5ers. FTMO and MFF are also worth a try if you prefer their "aggressive" approaches.

Spreads're very good, as good as FTMO if i'm being correct. Lux's broker is GlobalPrime. you can go to GP website and check their spreads & commissions (can also open demo account)

Actually, LUX is cheaper from a commission perspective than a common GP account.
GP charges 7$ per lot round turn, GP-LUX "only" 4$.

Yeah, with 4% trailing DD it takes time for sure.

Good luck with your evaluation!
