Lets be honest here. No prop firm is decent or reliable no matter how much we look.The only thing one can do is to inform others if they provide withdrawals and how quick and or cancel accounts and at which account size.

You want to trade live account? Then you must file as professional trader . Higher tax in most countries. More fees in prop firms.

In reality simulated environment is the best then to use that to fund the real account one got as others mentioned here. If the rest of the prop firms act as MFF did behind the scenes we need to get an edge too. This forum is the only place we get that as far as I know.

It appears the regulators allow prop firms to operate even for a year before slamming it. To gather enough evidence I assume. The question is was there any signal about this one year ago in how MFF behaved which could have warned us.

So in theory one should test new prop firms see as collective if they pay out and in what levels. This could also give some edge.

{quote} 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%.
I'd say you are pretty close yeh

They had an "office" in pakistan taking cash payments for accounts. Then they banned a bunch of alleged cheats and the office kept 100k as ransom. Now they are battling it out in public. Both parties not realizing what they were doing is money laundering.

It's an interesting thought, but I'm not sure how that would allow traders to earn after losing their accounts?

If the CFTC document wasn't cherry-picked excerpts of the worst conversations, then we might have some better idea, but based on the little bit that we do have, it would be easy to surmise that they were not even remotely concerned about order flow.

I expect that all employees have been advised to not speak publicly about anything. It would be nice to ask questions. I still would like to know more about Josh's involvement, as he wasn't even mentioned.

I am only sharing my opinion here but I think that the fraud stuff is all bogus based on an infrastructure set up.

I believe that the code violations are the target but the purpose of the fraud accusation is to burn it all down so that it can't survive.

{quote} Probably the best to wait until the dust settles with prop firms and until then trading on personal account at regular fx broker, I think so too. But I am already involved into prop firms, so I will continue trading them but I won't buy any new challenges at all.
