Yes but the request was from the receiver. More time is always better for defense, from my understanding its 18 months preparation vs 1 month preparation so having extra time is always better.

That being said, the state of the prop firm market right now leaves little to be desired.

FXIFY is a big surprise to me with their 40% loss in traffic but it explains their recent payout issues

Could you possibly add The Trading Pit as well?

TFT already had razor thin margins and now they are in contraction... and look at that... we start seeing payment issues with them. I don't see how the other US props survive another 2 months of this... and that is probably part of the CFTC's plan.

Glow Node has this in their rules (which says it all):

We don’t require you to use the same trading style and strategy all the time.
However you are required to trade in the same way you have in your challenge on the live account.

With increased traffic, shouldn't TFF get more customers and they wouldn't have all those issues people mentioned (e.g. trade execution delay, sending emails to people and terminating accounts cuz of "violation of rule 3.4.1" etc)? I am a bit confused...TFF was on my list but then I got cold feet cuz of what happened recently...

-It can be difficult to discern using solely traffic metrics. Some companies may dump money into ad campaigns and may not always be consistent with it.

TFF has always been a problem with >4 figure payouts. They also had a major server issue & made their traders eat the losses from their error. I have 200K in funding there, but the heads of the company are clearly not the most trustworthy individuals.

Yes that is true, but a non US prop with that kind of drop after the MFF shutdown is still very surprising to me.

-Yes. Ideally, we would see publicly-disclosed earnings statements, but since these firms are not publicly traded companies, then there is no obligation to do that. It would probably be a double-edged sword even if they did.

Ever since the CFTC issued the freeze order against MFF, many CEO's have made public statements ensuring that all is good even though it has been revealed that some have expressed uncertainty and nervousness behind closed doors.

I am personally unconcerned, but it is interesting to follow.

Fundednext and TFT both caught botting the traffic as well. 5000% rise in serbia (TFT) nice... More pakistani and serbian traffic than US.

{quote} Uptade: 1. 5ers was already received (took 1 week) 2. Alpha I'm not sure if I received it (it's a strange situation because I see the credit in Wise but the balance is not updating with that ammount; I contacted Wise to know what's going on - any of you experienced something similar ?) 3. FXIFY. No news and account still blocked. They are a complete mess right now and support is basically brainless people like robots, always replying that I will have an answer in 24 to 48 hours.
Update 2:
- Alpha paid to Wise but for some reason Wise declined and returned the money. Now I asked to another bank. Let's see. All indications I have is that Alpha is indeed paying and paying fast, the problem was in Wise.

- FXIFY requested a payout on Monday, filled in the form on Tuesday, contacted support by email and chat 3 or 4 times during the week. Nothing received so far. They keep answering that I will be paid in a couple of hours or that I will have an answer in 24 to 48 hours.
Their support is just people answering like bots not solving anything. The matter is then escalated to some kind of black hole and disappears forever until my next interaction. And the account is obviously frozen. Great disappointment. I really thought they were something new.

- In the meantime I requested today a payout for E8. I have already received one in Plane so all should be faster now. This will be the real test to E8 after the initial mess with Plane. Let's see.

I noticed that FXIFY was very active in Telegram groups when they started but now they basically almost never show up. Those groups have 200K each and I believe it's a reasonable source of traffic for props.

May I ask...while you are trading with alpha, how strict is their martingale rule? I always think of martingale as opening a second or even third trade with similar lot size, so I just assume my trading style will not be allowed in their program. I just looked at their website again, and apparently while they forbid martingale, they allow people to keep opening new trades (for more than once) on the same currency pair as long as the lot size never exceeds the previous lot size. Has this been the case for you?
