Hello everyone, Does anyone here happen to have an experience with using a trade copier in managing accounts over multiple prop firms-- where trades taken on one account are replicated on others? How exactly does it work? And is there a service you would recommend?
I use this one, I run it on a VPN, works great, you can try out their free demo forexcopier.com

Alright - So I'm new here - currently with FTMO.
I went over a few of the pages and there seems to be a lot of rent/bad press on prop firms here.
Are there some special posts in the thread that I should be aware of? There's currently 301 pages so that's a bit hard to follow for the newcomers !
Thank you all for your service (to... the retail world I shall say? )

{quote} Well MFF gives a free 30 day extension in lieu of unlimited free retakes. This is assuming you are not an "all-in" type of trader, which, if you are conservative, would be the reason for needing the extension. So, I really look at MFF as a 60 day eval if needed.

Don't forget that MFF free extension is not 30 days but 4 weeks.That's mean 28 days !!.Learned hard way.
Whether you think you can, or you think you can't,you're right. H.F.

lol... Bro, if you aren't done at 58 days best take the reset or the L. They are the only ones who offer an extension in regular times.

Can't agree with any of you I'm afraid. In my view there is a place for the direct funded model. Come on guys, it is much easier to make $1250 on a 25k account at 50:1 then to take $700 of your own money and try and double it in a trading account! We all know how difficult it is to make even 10%. But lets say you're a good trader and you do so in a week or two. So you've made $70 - big deal! And if you do the maths on the TCF offer, at the moment it is probably not a bad deal. Works out to about $700 for a $25k account....

im new to prop firms, saw an advertisement somewhere and spent few thousand on 5er. thought that they are giving me money to trade didnt do any calculations. direct funding models are just trading with own money according to my findings. bcz every firm want trader to double the profit of given DD to get scale up. if they offers 1:1 ratio for DD and target profit for scale up only then trader will get some advantage.

i made two calculation one posted earlier still included here. plz check bot iamge hope it will clear ur thoughts.

also correct me if i made any wrong calculation

TIA

Welcome to the club. There’s a mixed bag of relatively new prop firms but most are still too new to take seriously.

Funding Talent was a popular firm for the extreme degen gamblers. So popular they blew up much like a fast rolling train wreck.

For now the only two that stand out imo are FTMO and My Forex Funds. Both have been reliable despite a few hiccups a long the way. I use both firms.
Trade with confidence, trade without fear.

I have to brag a little. I am pretty sure I am the grand daddy of doing spreadsheet calculations of how these funding schemes work. Where were all you guys when I was duking it out with the 5ers?

You can give the thread a colonoscopy prep by putting "PaulMF" and "JotaP" on ignore. They add nothing of value to the thread. Might as well cut your reading time by scraping out any unnecessary fecal matter..

Spreadsheet stuff still doesn't calculate the effect additional margin for positions has on the growth of an account. Alas, I don't like direct funding, just so far no one has factored in what trading is actually like in their math centric spreadsheets

Bigger position size = more growth, if you are disciplined enough, direct funding poops all over trading own account. Rate of recovery also is significantly better on the direct funding.

I don't exactly know what you mean by "additional margin". I get 1:500 margin on my personal account. That poops on any funder I have seen. The best I have seen is 1:200 but I am not an expert on details of these companies. With an allowable dd of 4% and such, it doesn't matter that they offer high margin anyway.

Aren't they having some legal or jurisdiction issues which have caused them to partially cease operations?
Enfoid is a no go zone for now based on what i've read here.

I don't know anything about them but reading this brought back some scanning skills I developed when trading equities way back:

"finite amount, run into a, determining, off chance, cashflow, problem, very near mid-term, drained, pledging + risk, Liquidity margin, not right now, do not, keep us above water, "

In so few words could be summed up as "Oh Shit"....

Mate, you trade right?

Take your 2.5k with 1:500 and compare it to say a 50k direct funding account (which has 2.5k drawdown) and calculate your position sizes you can trade. Then, lose 1k on that, and see if you can open the same size trade on each account in order to recover the draw.

Leverage is not margin..

I asked opinion of Scandinavian traders.Didn,t get much information about them.So I check this forum and many prop firms on net. most popular seem to be FTMO. So I would like to know ,why is better to have limited time to pass evaluation at FTMO than unlimited at Scandinavien at same DD and profit target? Thank you for any answer.

Replace that 1:500 with 1:1000 lev with XM markets or FXTM or some other clown broker and the margin actually evens out on both accounts Tak.
Just ran some quick calculations.

Also, realistically, Anyone who is losing 1k out of the 2.5k allowed DD on the 50k accelerated or 1k on the 2.5k personal account would have to scale down risk considerably on both accounts if they wish to have the accounts for longer.
