It wasn't spread.
-I understand. I just wanted to make mention of the spreads because they were more bad than usual.

Quoting Takisd
they only did this one the size was sufficient to wipe the account out. On my 5 lot trades, it didn't happen more than 1-2 ticks (1$ on us30). Then i increase and its like all of a sudden the account must burn. Funnily enough I had the exact same trades on my personal account with icmarkets and had no issue whatsoever.
-If this is really happening, then this is really bad. Many firms are using 8cap.

{quote} It wasn't spread. The entry got slipped excessively and the exit got slipped all in the same second. Its like made up prices. If only one side slipped its fine, but on that particular account which was for experiment purposes (kind of to prove how shit eightcap is) they only did this one the size was sufficient to wipe the account out. On my 5 lot trades, it didn't happen more than 1-2 ticks (1$ on us30). Then i increase and its like all of a sudden the account must burn. Funnily enough I had the exact same trades on my personal account...
It is vendor specific not about 8CAP, Try to do on E8 you will get same slippage and repeat on TFP no or max 1 or 2 pips on US30 (though there is cap of 5 lot on TFP but 5 lot is equivalent to 50 lot in E8). I bet if one has brokerage account with directly 8Cap they wont see such huge slippage.
Regarding slippage I have seen 8-15 pips slippage on MyFF (occasionally not regularly but 8Cap supported brokers do on regular basis)
Note : 1 pip is 1$ in US30

So the conclusion. in light of what we are learning from virtually all of the firms either folding, changing rules, excessive slipping, etc........it looks as if we need to trade within 1% of the account size and/or cap it at about 5:1 leverage. Seems when you go above those parameters, your friendly neighborhood prop firm becomes not so friendly.
To summarize, TPT has folded, TFF is manually editing trades, FTMO has sent out a 1% max and s/l required to "select" traders and TFT is excessively slipping orders........MFF??? anyone??? I truly believe they (MFF) really have their shit together to handle anything.

Hello Friends

I was inactive few weeks

please update me if some firm went bankrupt in my list, or something is missing

Do you think Smart Prop Trader should be added in my table as a "safe" try, seen the people involved in the project?

I mean, shouldn't be a scam of Nigerians....

i just received my first $4500 payment a few hours ago from TFF. I use a 100k$ account, although the processing steps are a bit slow but I think with a small profit of only a few percent we will be safe with most funds, earn a sufficient amount and rest not too much. There's nothing wrong with greed here.

-In my awesome opinion, any firm that elects to have Blake Olson pimping them out on youtube (or that chooses to have him involved in some business capacity), does not automatically make it a safe bet.

MFF, FTMO and several other CFD feeds froze at the same time. TFF feed wasn’t affected, nor my CQC feed via AMP futures.

Which could point at all prop firms being engaged by one mother company.

I’m sure anything is possible. It is all very interesting.

but my understanding is that MyFF uses a completely different data feed than FTMO.

It was only a few months ago that FTMO changed contract specs for its indicies. They used to be different in sizing, etc. Then they changed and pretty much mirror MFF’s specs.

ahhh, ok

just did a little digging… Found some similar reference as MyFF to a “liquidity provider” they use.

it appears they probably use the same liquidity provider as MyFF now. That would explain the correlation with data issue…

So those who trade more than one LIVE prop firm account, what firms are you with and are you happy with them?

I was going to FundedNext but hear a lot of negativity about eightc@p and FundedNext is really new to the game

and don’t want FTMO if it uses same data feed as MyFF

so I’m considering Fedelcrest…

I have tried Fedelcrest. They are OK. But check their set of rules. They were a bit to strict for me. But it is some years ago and they possibly have made changes.

Funded Next you have to be careful because they don't allow trading 2 minutes before and after important news in funded accounts (only in challenge phase). You can have positions opened but if your TP or SL is executed on those +-2 minutes you will lose the account.

yeah the 5% DD is tight, and 10% target on each step is tall order. I can easily recover from a 5% DD but NOT if it is the max DD allowed… So I would need to keep my risk low and my personal max daily loss around 1500.

Yeah. Probably better for me to just stay out 2 minutes before/after…

What has me probably hooked on Fedelcrest is if you are profitable the first month in live account they give you another account equal to the one you got funded on…

so with FC, on a 250k account it would be payout of 5000 plus the free eval which is over a thousand value. So that is pretty good.

however I thought it was a free live account but is not. So it is not really a “double your account” deal, but a “chance” to double your account. Lol
