The United States is 30-35% of the prop market.... Based on MFF stats most traders trade Gold & Indices, if due to US regulations the north american props can only offer US customers OTC FX & crypto but no commodities or indices, could they survive? Would it make more sense for them to switch over to futures and disrupt that side of the business by introducing their more favorable evaluation rules.

Semrush worldwide data.

They definitely have a huge marketing campaign going, but if that is top 6, the market has shrunk to hell.

Edit: they should employ me, I can fix all their seo, serp and crappy backlinks. Its almost as bad as TFT's.

The reason they became big in the first place "MFF" is exactly because they avoided futures and good reputation, the same goes for the rest of the prop firms as I noticed their edge not having futures but allowing indices. Touching futures while still allowing indices just makes no sense but reason to get shutdown in some way or another in one years time since apparently the time it took for regulators to go to action against MFF. If someone starts doing futures without licenses and they are still around in 1-2 years then that firm is not normal.

{quote} Much better than Finotive because Finotive demands in ALL orders. Here they allow 2 "mistakes" and apparently reset this count weekly. It's much more fair. In Finotive you may be trading for 2 months to pass a challenge and, when done, they just say "Hey, you have to repeat the challenge because in those 326 trades that you did you forgot one SL/entered one SL in 68 seconds instead of 60). I hate those news rules on pending orders. One has a trade running for 3 days and has the "bad luck" of having the TP hit during an event and all profit...
I think I'm going to buy a $5K Funding Pips account today, it's cheap to try them out. The SL rule doesn't bother me, I always set a SL when creating a trade anyway. The news rule shouldn't matter either because it's only when opening a new trade during that 4 minute window and I avoid news for that hour anyway. Trades already opened for hours or days that happen to hit SL or TP during that 4 minute window are fine according to their FAQ. The5ers news rule is the same and easy to comply with; their $5K account is also cheap for testing the waters.

I haven't seen this. That would change the complete whole picture, except for that people that trade news. It's more than fair, then.

I didn't investigate where they are based. Anyone knows ?

There has always been a huge drop off in traffic after MFF + FTMO + TFT, 4th is a distant 4th.... I fully expect everyone has been killed in Sep

FTMO and TFT have like 800k+ budget marketing campaigns going to rebuff the traffic. everyone else looks shattered yes. But truthfully, no one was going to be close to MFF/FTMO size anyway. TFT only did it with fake shit like competitions and giveaways their traffic might have been high but their size was nothing compared to MFF.

Something I pondered about is that
What would even happen if the prop firms are really transparent and mentioned that they were copying traders trades or taking the other sides of traders. As long as we're trading CFD's I do not think that it really creates an effect in the forex markets anyways.
Profitable traders remain profitable and losing traders still make money for the company and there is full transparency.

traders will call them scammers and thats why they didn't.

If you say to traders "you're all shit, you're going to lose so I am going to go against you" they will simply not use you. But if you say "we b book some but we a book some" people will always think they are good enough to be a-booked so there is a "Chance". Reality is, b book is the better way to handle retail traders.

Beware of prop firms which allows HFT they do not maintain this for longer time, and the fuss around is starting. Only complications and no payouts and lot of bannings thereafter. I have not seen any prop firm allowing HFT which had not huge problems a few months after. I guess you won't get your payout until you are very lucky.

HFT EA ? Really? that kind of passing service for yourself or from someone else is not give you good light. Usually those traders get banned and payout denied. Beware!
