{quote} There's a discussion about it on their Discord. Seems related to the prohibited strategies, which TFF defines as: "Tick scalping, arbitrage bots – reverse arbitrage – latency arbitrage – hedge arbitrage or any emulators are prohibited." But what exactly those means is a question as there's no exact definition other than this
Those who make big money will be watched for sure for any prohibited strategies.
Intraday only.

{quote} Yes, that how I meant it. So when the 180K further grows to eg. 200K, then 220K, and 240K, your respective DDs would be 14% over 200K, then 14% over 220K and finally 14% over 240K.
Ahh, sorry for having misunderstood. I'm not sure what happens after 14% is achieved but what you say it's a possibility.

I was under the impression that some prop firms do not allow EAs? They state this very clearly on their websites.

What ever may be the case I don't understand why she continued to trade after getting 10 or 20%. Why to trade more unless she is suffering from trading diarrhea.
Prop firms are like hen laying golden eggs. You dont want to get greedy and kill the hen instead take egg one by one so that no one notice.

Seeing a lot of reports of TFF banning people who are making decent profits. One is on trustpilot rn. Now I feel uncertain of my accounts I'm about to pass.

They are not trustworthy.

Explanation of TFF in Discord

Quote
In reference to the recent enquires in the general channel we would like to clarify the situation. Multiple traders participated over multiple different accounts in a practice called grid-trading (or sometimes also referred to as reverse trading) where orders at a certain price level get set out in both directions of the market which for one or the other account causes a guaranteed win. Commonly there is an agreement between those traders participating in this scheme, to share the profit of whoever wins this trade and the person "burning" their...

This doesn't seem an accurate explanation. Using grid systems if you have 5 and all are different directions/pairs they can all lose.

It seems to me that in the image, at least the ones with 3.75 lots, are symetric positions in same pair (GBPUSD), same size and similar timestamp.

They can loose but if half of the group hedged the other part (as it seems from the picture) and together they generated a profit then they could possibly be convicted of using a prohibited trading strategy (hedge arbitrage?) and refused their payouts
Money is made by sitting, not trading

In light of the recent review posted on Trust Pilot, we would like to clarify the situation. The trader executed trades from two different devices and locations literally 5 min apart in time, the 2 locations were 2h apart covering a distance of 187KM. Clearly impossible for one person to cover that distance in 5 min, conclusion, multiple people are trading the account.

I don't get that. With a VPN I guess this could perfectly happen, right ?
I don't know if VPNs are forbidden but I don't think so

So they aren't Gridding they are long short trading which is dirty. Ban them all.

gridding can lose both ways in a range. But it looks like they are just long short on a trade and winner wins loser loses.
