{quote} 5ers? Founded 2016. Registered in UK and Israel. One of their LPs is Interactive Brokers in Connecticut per the video the CEO did a couple days ago. Limited to $100k max account before scaling on two-step High Stakes program as I understand it (my info may be wrong).
For 5ers, one thing that puts me off the high stakes program is the 'Minimum Profitable Days' rule (I prefer prop firms with the same usual vanilla rules that E8/TFTP/MFF/FTMO have and nothing that could catch me out)
Your worst drawdown is yet to come

The thing is all prop firms no matter were they located, if they sell to US citizens they are at risk of CFTC suing them, and from a new i saw from 23rd august firms have 60 days to respond and 365 days to comply with CFTC laws, so in a year maybe prop firms will not be avaiable to US citizens or maybe only futures
Where did you see this? If this could be true, maybe this buys US residents a year? Maybe?

Agreed, it is a weird rule. I checked into it, you need 3 profitable days that are .5% or better in each phase of the challenge. Not per trade, per trading day. You likely do that or better.

This does not apply to this space. It is for the more traditional prop model.

Again, proper, regulated Oanda shut down for 5 minutes at news time. According to them EUR/USD didn't just make a lower low. Nope, nothing to see here, not a scam.
But every prop that I'm looking at are scams for showing the lower low.

Was that the $10 round turn Core pricing feed?

Maybe Oanda and Forex.com 'lobbied' CFTC to investigate MFF because MFF 'stole' a lot of US customers from them.

Now that MFF discord is shut down who will be the victim of all the suckers blame that got caught by the ISM data movement today ?

I guess nobody because all the other props, except MFF, are legit ones.

It is foolish to think that the CFTC would ignore offshore prop firms. Extremely foolish.

This allegation comes from a matter of size, not a matter of operation. If MFF was small, they would not be doing this, they would find someone bigger to do it to.

I think there are going to be fireworks.

Ya think? I say that and I'm a conspiracy theorist. Everything is on the up and up, nothing new to see here. Now everyone run out and make sure you get that 7th booster to protect you from the virus.....NBC News and the NY Times just said so.

They won't but not much they can do about off shores accepting US clients as there are still many off shore brokers also accepting US clients. Most them have been doing so for many years. Many of them have also their own servers and probably very willing to onboard off shore props.

There has been no court, no trial, no ability to vindicate. But it would appear a bunch of folks are looking to get the rope out. My guess is people who are awful traders.

I would be surprised is some of them do 3 million per year let alone 300. Size matters.

The demand is so big that no regulator can stop it. Money talks.

It would be interesting to know how big part of the MFF clientele were US citizens. My guess is about 30%.
