{quote} This is pure garbage offer. Traditionally chance of passing exams are 33% with added phase it will be reduced to less than 10%
So, value wise, the 250K offering is better than an FTMO 100k or 200K. Trade the 598 in a personal, hit 100%, 62.5% and 62.5% you wind up with 3158, E* gives you 20K with an 80% split so 16K for value of 5.06, FTMO 100K and 200K come in at 4.93. MFF 300K offers best value at 8.77. All numbers based on 80% split. MFF and FTMO both offer 90% now as well which of course increases value. E8 offers the scaling on the DD up to 14%, which then puts them at 8.86.
That is one huge thing I like about E8 they don't scale your balance, they scale your DD, which is what all risk in these firms should be based on, it is the opposite of say a Funded Trader+, they scale your balance and leave DD the same which results in you trading the exact same size from a risk perspective.
Going from 8% to 14% is equivalent to 75% and you can do this in 3 months (6 bi-weekly withdrawals)......now if only they could reduce their trading costs on the indices.
Just ran their traditional 250K for $988, score 4.98......more money up front, one less stage, essentially the same value.

Hi Folks, Sorry I haven't been in touch. Takisd, pipmaster77 you guys are amazing!


Are there any prop firms that have ftmo mff business model with challenges, but with no time limit? I see the instant funding ones, I rather do a challenges..the time limit is an issue with a some of the stuff that I do. If this reaches anyone, Thanks!



Update: looking into https://www.fundedtradingplus.com/, with eightcap. The spreads are ok. Anyone have issues with payouts? Thanks.

I received a payout from FT+ but be careful about their Relative Drawdown. Each time you close a profitable trade and take your balance up above the starting balance, your Maximum Drawdown level moves up. The Relative Drawdown is the distance between the closed balance high (your high water-mark HWM) and the Maximum Drawdown.
The Relative Drawdown remains the same value until the trader makes a closed balance profit equal or higher than the Relative Drawdown amount. At this point the Max Drawdown point locks in and the trader can increase the Relative Drawdown by trading further up.

  1. Experienced Trader Programs Relative Drawdown is 6%
  2. Advanced Trader Programs Relative Drawdown is 10%
  3. Master Trader Programs Relative Drawdown is 5%


Relative Drawdown moves up with a positive trade balance. It does not move down with a negative trade balance.

Don't need to do that......It is simply the profit of all phases against the max loss.....example......MFF is 13% (8+5) with 12% DD, E8 is 18% (8+5+5) with 8% DD
-I think that maybe it is not so simple. Perhaps consider that each additional phase increases the odds of failure. Similar to having a class and having to pass a single test with 15 questions vs. having to pass 3 different tests with 5 questions each. You now must pass three tests instead of one in order to progress to the next grade.

Even though the amount of questions is the same, the odds of passing are much more difficult. Now imagine that same scenario, but with 100 tests instead of one, where you must pass all 100 in order to progress to the next grade.

If a firm allows the account balance profit/padding to stay in the account in lieu of resetting the account after each phase, then maybe it can be viewed in a more simple manner.

I am personally not a big fan of the idea, but I do see the purpose. On the one hand, it will ensure better traders (and capital protection) for the firm, and potentially better profit, regardless of whether or not the firm is actually pushing trades to market. On the other hand, it will also allow a lower-cost-to-entry for traders that are looking for that. The obvious downside is that the odds become increasingly less-favorable for passing.

-Traders With Edge is maybe close, but they are very new with only about a dozen payout proofs so far.

They have a 1-step challenge that has a maximum trading days of 365. They also have a 2-step challenge model with 120* days for phase-1 and 60 days for phase-2. *The added 60 days for phase-1 can be acquired via the customizable options, but it will cost more, otherwise, the default is 60.

Of the firms that I have seen that do not have any time limit at all, they are not really based on the same model.

My job is almost complete, I calculated even the first payout that are lower of the max you can reach.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

I also calculated bonus for program with "no time" to compare with the same category with 90-180days.

I added "daytrading" program, a small one of CityTraderImperium with no rules, for who like small accounts. Not bad.

However now with my own rations, I get the top 3 you like in the top TFT MFF TFF

Only for the past 12-18 months have I started trading indices. Wish I started much sooner. I trade forex as well. Forex I day trade and swing trade, indices are solely intraday.

Actually they scale both. With every profit split they increase your DD by 1% up until 14% but they also put back the whole profit you made on your account as a balance increase. So your DD increases twice

E.g. you start with 250k / 8% and make say 10k for every profit split. Your account balance and DD increases like that:

250k - 8% - DD 20k
260k - 9% - 23.3k
270k - 10% - 27k
280k - 11% - 30.8k
290k - 12% - 34.8k
300k - 13% - 39k
310k - 14% - 43.4k
320k - 14% - 44.8k
...
further on your DD% stays at 14% but your balance scales up until 1M by every profit you make

So, in your example the account increased 1.25x from 250K to 320K but DD increased 2.24x from 20K to 44.8K

That's pretty good. I hadn't realized that. Only had a tiny payout with them, so far.
