{quote} what is this 30 seconds rule?
Is because they don't really want scalpers. They say its allowed but then make these kind of rules to knock scalpers out

Not quite sure what happens if one has tight stop loss and it is hit within 30 seconds - another reason to fail the trader I suppose

Most of prop firms dont like scalpers be it FTMO or MyFF or any firm. I remember MyFF banned a trader trading around 10000 lots of US30 on daily basis stating huge risk to firm. I am really hard time understanding, if any prop firm puts real trades I want traders to trade more so they can get more commissions.

No they banned an arber who did 10000 lots. There is a difference.

thank you

here E8 news:

for the user asking of Dow Jones spread, I think less of vantage is impossible, today they lowered to 100, 1 point, no commissions

I checked pepperstone and is bad. So I think that is the best.

Well the problem of using E8 with indices is huge. Imagine you are trading 2-4 (unit) daily and if you pay 5$ as commission (plus around 5 point slippage) which is like 20-30$ so monthly 800-900 bucks . Compare with MyFF or FTMO you pay nothing plus no slippage.
Only advantage I can think of E8 is fastwithdrawal and scaling or if you trade only forex in small lots.

majority of prop firms will give us demo account's, so they have to copy our tades in order to make money, shorter the trade , harder to copy, specially when it comes to scalping, if trades are only long 20-30 seconds, where 1-2 seconds in lagging might mean actual loss.
I did ask ftmo if they can copy such short trades, they never got back to me .

I really do not like it when firms impose 30-second rules (or worse). I think, trades should not take that long to copy. However, to make adjustments to the demo account prior to payout so that the profit/loss is a 100% accurate reflection of what the live account actually produced (assuming that such an account exists), would likely either be too difficult, or, would cause a major uproar.

Probably better to just incorporate a 1 or 2-second simulated delay.

After all, if the profit/loss displayed on the demo was accurate to what was actually achieved (or close to it), then the 30-second rule would not be needed. I can only speculate about these things, though.

Hearing some big lot traders have started being banned at FTMO and being sent this: https://ftmo.com/en/gambling-is-not-...to-make-money/

Almost tempted to sacrifice one of my accounts to see if it happens to me but lately not feeling so generous.

Don't do it because if they use this gambling reason of T&C they will revoke all your accounts, not just the one where you did it, and ban you from future challenges/accounts.

What is the problem with FTMO now ? They fear higher profits they need to payout or what ? Assuming having a 400k funded account and doing 40 to 50 lots per trade in one direction with only 10 to 15 pips as stoploss, so no more risking kind of 1% to 1.5% per trade. That cannot be an issue, I do not get it. FTMO is off from table now. Do they really banning all big lot size traders or only doing the full leverage on their accounts as second premise on top of that or not ? I do not get it, its so bad.

Just an update from my personal account trading. I am up over 50% this month when I started fresh. I feel like a fish in sea now and not like one in a smaller lake with the prop firm rules. I learned to have more discipline from props but that is all. Trading a personal account feels like having much more freedom and fun, with no rules.

In addition I am noticing less slippage with personal account trading than on prop firm accounts. The props are far to sensitive when it comes to slippage on even smaller lot sizes. That is kind of ridicolous because on majors FX there is plenty on liquidity there and I only trade full Londong session. Actually do not regret at all to turn my back to the prop firms. You need to have in mind that you need to triple at least your account or more to get funded when you compare the score from props.

So there is only MFF left from the reputable prop firms I am hearing now. It really seems the market is saturated and maybe the crowd of traders gets more intelligent over time. So The Prop Trading is out of game for us now. And then TFF and TFT ban traders for having (too) high payouts too. BGC is scam. So only MFF is left or not ?

Possible reasons for banning big lot size traders from FTMO ? 1) They cannot copycat without higher slippage. =>That is FTMO's problem, they also could induce higher slippage on larger lot size trades. 2) They fear higher percentage of profitable traders among big lot size traders, and therefore want to get rid of them as soon as possible. Unfair behavior from FTMO. 3) They fear large possible payouts they need to pay from fees. That would be a shame for FTMO. 4)Any other possible reasons ?

I hate to say it but in Germany you pay over 50% taxes on selfemployed gains from prop firms, when a certain swallow is reached. On personal account it is flat ~25%.

You pay up to 42% income tax, which even can go as high as 45%, in addition you need to pay VAT or sales tax of 19% on all earnings above ~17k. Unfair disadantage those prop firms have when dealing with them. So I needed to recalculate the scores for myself because of tax differences to personal accounts. And you cannot mix gains and losses from personal accounts to any selfemployed income too. A tax advisor I was looking around wants at least around 5k for himself and ca. 10% of gains.
