{quote} I agree. People loose challenges due to taking high risk. With limited time. Now that no time limit... but people need to adjust to this concept. MFF/FTMO want traders to do challenges like Funded account. Here again Prop firm is the winner.
Who passed challenges in 1 hour will go on doing so
Who passed in 1 week the same
Who passed in 30 day (or very close) won't have any pressure
Who could not pass in 30 days may have a chance now

How is prop firm the winner ? I think the trader is the winner here in terms of trading conditions

{quote} i m struggling to understand ur concept buddy. how are prop firms winners if u have unlimited time to pass the challenge? how is the trader forced to adapt to no time limit? it all comes down to risk management. let s not BS it around. i lost the account cos of spread, or slippage, or news. how the F is that even possible except ur trading without SL or u go balls to the walls hoping to hit it big? also i see some traders calling for regulation cos they can t adapt to props or just can t freaking trade. where the fudge is @MasterMind? i...
See the thing is.. Traders were saying limited time was the reason for people loosing challenges.

Actually it is not.

MFF already was giving 30 days + 4 weeks to pass.

Why is the question of unlimited time ?

People loose challenges due to high risk taking.

Do you think by unlimited time concept Traders will change their risk taking ?

This is why I say, UNLIMITED TIME IS JUST YET ANOTHER WAY. I said Prop firms are winners.

The traders can become winner only IF THEY REALLY CUT SHORT risk taking and trade a 10k account for months or years by trading 0.01 lots or slighly more.

Hope you get my point.

Prop firm may be or hope to be a winner depending on how they hedge or place funded account.
By giving unlimited time on challenges they hope trader continues same practice in funded account.
They are not worried about consistent steady trader as they can make 2-5% more or less monthly which is easily covered by new traders fees.
They are more worried about YOLO trades as imagine if I put 500-600 units of US30 and put 20 point stop and market moves 500-600 points they will loose 300K per trader and firms like FTMO and MyFF will have have 100K funded account and if 0.1% traders does it they will become Funding Talent.
The bigger prop firm chances of occurrence is even more.

I would say, extreme accuracy is needed for trading prop account, whether one is passing in 1 hr or 30 days or 30 days + 4 weeks.

so the new crap trader ask is for the ability to lose 50% of the account it seems. Also instant payments any day of the week. LETS GO CHARITYYYYY.
You're joking but it's a very easy and low risk forecast to say that the next big move will be "first payout in X days".

E8 already had it in 7 or 8 days and FXIFY came recently with 24 hours (according to Vitore it was even less). Now that they lost the "unlimited" card, this will be, clearly, the next "big thing" from the cowboys.

Then there are retards also begging props for 50% discount in 100K, 200 and 400K challenges. If we ever see this that, then it's time to switch off the lights.

dude, people who complained that the time limit was shit had a point as 1 would feel forced to place trades to make it within the time window. now that there isn t a time limit, what s the issue?!

what accuracy dude? i could trade off 1 hr charts or 4hr with larger stops and still pass within 30 days. i think it all comes down to how u are taught to trade and how u manage risk.
there isn t a downside for traders with unlimited time, altho there might be 1 for props with traders keeping those challenges for months on end afraid of losing the challenge and risk clogging up the servers.
other then that rest it s all BS and marketing.
stay away from news like NFP, FOMC, CPI, INTEREST RATES, use risk in % with a SL, trade only what u perceive to be high probability setups and u gonna do great specially since u have NO TIME LIMIT.

I'm one of those that will be better with unlimited.

Sometimes I was approaching the 30 days with -5 or -4%. I was forced to make unusual (for me) coin flips to be able to get a free retake.
If I had not the pressure (unlimited instead of 30 days) I would go on recovering in 1 or 2% increments, which is my style.

This is a case where the trader is a winner. Not the prop.

The ones who trade with extreme accuracy will wait for set up to occur, hours, or days or week.

The ones who asking unlimited not sure of set ups.

Trust me.

Those who passed within 8 hrs had seen an accurate set up and that is why he was able to win in one shot.

My point also same.

If a person can not pass challenge in 30 days + 4 weeks extension, he/she can never pass challenge.

unless that was a 1 to 10 risk to reward, assuming 1 would risk 1% per trade, sure that s more then possible. other then that, it s yolo ing. imho ofc.

{quote} Can you explain how one can "trade recklessly with 0.01 lot"?
By not learning from the mistakes. Just that you keep digging the grave deeper and deeper not understanding what goes on. Until the psychological aspect takes over and you start to trade more recklessly and change the current system you have and felt was working. Just that now it takes more time for newbies to figure out what goes on wrong and maybe never gets the chance to be forced to do better. Time limited forces not to trade reckless and more clever and to adapt accordingly to a normal routine with profitable risk management . For those who takes trading serious I should add. But human nature is that we learn if we get hit hard and we adapt. If its slow hit we might not adapt so easily.

Trading is at least 90% psychological I noticed. The biggest mistakes comes from emotional mishaps I noticed. That coupled with an environment that eggs you on to trade loosely and without to perform better is total disaster. But again each to their own I guess. Its just bothersome. Since I felt I was lucky enough to at least trade with time limits which tbh I feel speeded up my learning 10x at least to adapt to the market and risk management. Its about psychological aspect way more than I knew. I knew it was alot about the psychological aspect from all read about but its way deeper than newbies understand. So they get tricked into this doom of hope even more now. Seeing unlimited unlimited. Cash signs. Yea right..
