{quote} 5????? MFF is 1.4 with no commish, even my live TFTP (eightcap) is 2.2 with no commish.

The spread shown on the screen is now 1.6 (maybe during the day 1.4 ).

When you trade the order is executed about 5 points above the shown current price of US30. When you close they take also some more points. So real spread is around 5 or more.

{quote} I would hope it's more than IP alone. But even device ID or MAC address could be used by thousands of accounts on some of these shared VPS plans. It's why a dedicated or static IP is essential for some services like mail servers so you don't get caught up in spam filters due to the abuse of others on the same server; I'd say it's becoming essential for Forex trading too on VPS plans.
The MAC address can not be retrieved unless source and destination are in the same network segment, usually are not except in private networks.
The best we can get from HTTP is the IP address and the User-Agent.

They have understood.

But this is not the solution.

They should change eight cap in order to match with MFF.

If their intention is to scam people, they will not change eight cap.

EIGHTCAP BIG CRAP.

i think it is the future of all prop firms who dont operate their own set up. Do we still even call them prop firms anymore? They are marketing companies.

Own setup comes with a cost, Funding talent migrated to own server leads to disaster. I am having hard time understanding why it is difficult to migrate when they can pay literally thousands of dollars in payouts (look at their leaderboard) why to stick with crappy brokers like eightcap

There are many firms...trying to scam people and take money by any method.

If they understood long term is what is important like FTMO, MFF, The prop firms will offer fair/good trading conditions.

Having said, if their intention is to scam people, you can expect better than 8 cap.

We as traders should not fall into this trap.
Intraday only.

I think eightcap is not bad but they offer some configuration which allows prop firms to add slippage. I have traded with Blueberry markets which is essentially eightcap but their spread and execution is awesome.

If that " configuration " is intended by prop firms, thay are scams.

TFT Is one such

It is casino model otherwise how one always gets slippage on stops, limit or market order. I have not seen any positive slippage on forex (i have seen on indices but it is common on indices as it moves fast)

slippage ..small is understandable.

Big ones are intended.

Have compared MFF with TFT.

No match for MFF in slippage terms.

So, why to invest and loose with TFT ?

They send atlest two to three emails for new promotions.

Every day new promotion ?

joke

Funding talent was a white label of cue bank's broker.

There is a difference between that and your own server.

Also, some of the eight crap customers are paying 15$ per user on the server, wayyyyyyyy more than a warehouse mt4 set up. like 100x +

{quote} Really ? I thought MAC address was unique for each device.
It is supposed to be, unless one is cloned or stolen. But I was referring to shared VPS where many virtual machines are behind one physical NIC, sharing the same IP and MAC address.

why not just charge to have unlimited time?
-Yes, this seems reasonable. Objectively speaking, perhaps they could even charge a reasonable monthly fee (refundable after successful completion of challenge phases). This could help ensure that props can cover any costs on their end while also ensuring that traders remain motivated to finish.

From all the props now (maybe except FTMO and MFF) can anyone say who will be here, still paying, two years from now ?
-Maybe 5%er's, but their models have never been very appealing. Their bootcamp is a trap, in my opinion, that so many traders keep falling for. At one point, I was looking at their freestyle program, but I eventually decided that it was too restrictive. They dropped that program.

Traders With Edge might succeed for that long, especially if they can keep getting away with their higher pricing and non-refundable customizable options. I'm just guessing here.

IP flagging alone is a terrible enforcement policy.
-Agreed. I think, it will really depend on what kind of data that they really have access to, though, and this may vary, depending on what is being used. We usually do not have the full story.

I also think that if they insist on prohibiting 3rd-party trading, and want to use a list of flagged IP's for banning people, then they will need to state that all VPS usage is prohibited and even require people to submit which IP's that they will use for trading beforehand etc.. Total mess, if you ask me.

-This will depend on what sort of data is getting passed through by the VPS provider (I think).
