{quote} To be fair, there are a shit load of groups trying to arb props. On TG i get messages about it almost daily.
No doubt and that's why they can also use it so easily as an excuse to ban anyone making substantial profits.

-Assuming that I am understanding the meaning of arb here, wouldn't a history of good trading sort of disprove any allegations for that?

No speed limit signs in my life xD

One would think so but if you read the channels you can see several cases where the props just terminate accounts without providing any proper evidence of the person having used arb. They might or might not but clear evidence should be provided.

-Makes sense. And unfortunately, brokers are worse than props in terms of popping up like mushrooms. You can trust them about as far as you can throw them while your hands are tied behind your back. Many of them are probably being operated by the same group, and can just shuffle, open and close when needed if things get too hot.

All the more reason to be involved in trading communities like this one so that we can stay informed.

The answer of MFFX : (about the refused payout of 70 000)

Hi Jonathan,

We are not a forex broker nor do we have your name in our database of customers. This is clearly a fake review and likely someone trying to do harm to our company.

Thanks,

Management "

have u read that dudes review? it s vague, no proof of anything, refers to the prop as a broker and silence on discord etc.. i d think that for 70k he d be all over discord or other channels etc..again, not taking sides just an observation

A lot of people call prop firms brokers. Particularly ones referred by instagrammers with fake promises.

Regardless, the fundednext tactic of "we dont know who you are, and calling us a scam is very salacious" is not really a way to address a review.

Its pretty easy to get trustpilot reviews removed, so lets see. If the guy provides evidence of his experience to trustpilot it will remain, if not it will be removed.

This can go both ways. People can easily lie. So can firms. That's why neutral, 3rd-party sites like this one are so important, because both sides can state their case and will quickly be scrutinized if something doesn't add up, all without getting censored. Firms can too-easily ban people from their telegram/discord groups and delete all chat history etc..

Most traders getting denied payment on 70k for legitimate trading would probably be posting this everywhere that made sense, providing as much factual detail (with pictures) as they could in order to prove their case.

Similarly, probably not wise for a firm to just say 'well, this review is clearly not real', without asking for evidence to prove that they are actually trading with you; you can let them discredit themselves without sounding defensive.

That being said, now that MFFX has stated that the trader does not exist in their database, then it should be easy for the trader to provide evidence to dispute that claim, if he can. It would seem likely that Matt would NOT risk that happening if he wasn't sure of things, though. For what it's worth.

Some potential mitigation measures and good practices:

1. Take screenshots of your payment receipt, dashboard with account ID/profit and metatrader at various intervals etc..
2. Take video recording of your live trading with firms.
3. Document all correspondence.
4. Be realistic about what you hope to achieve/gain from these measures.

Basically on trustpilot there is a button you can do to find reviewer and then the reviewer has a time frame to respond. In the response it requires like account number and email or something. After that the company has to submit like a dispute and the reviewer gets to respond with the screenshots account details payment receipts etc. Its not trading specific just evidence that the claim is from a genuine experience.

It doesn't require a big long essay to prove it and it could be bs, I still expect to see a lot more of these in the near future though. But its going to be a while to shake the MFFX fans, buts it coming.

Good day,

Could anyone please shed light into how to deal with spreads when scalping with prop firms? or maybe a recommendation on specific prop broker with tight spreads?

Thanks in anticipation )

If so, it makes you wonder what kind of sociopath would go out of their way to fabricate something like that. I cannot imagine that any competitor would waste their time, since there would be no guarantee of any kind of return (unless they have some kind of personal vendetta with CEO or something). Only thing that comes to mind is that it must be a disgruntled trader that either:

1. Failed their challenge
2. Is from a prohibited region

Really bizarre.
