Yes I did do a search but most of it is outdated as Fidelcrest changed their conditions and rules a little while back making them a much more viable offer to consider.
-I remember looking at them a long while back, but ultimately dismissed them. I do not remember all of the reasons why.

Please let us know how things go for you.

FXIFY still has a 20% discount, are they doing payouts now ? Only delay problems or more problems ? Are they doing payouts over bank wire or only crypto ?
i took a small challenge that I lost. Leverage is just 30 for Fx and you need to pay more at checkout to get 50. Other standard options like unlimited time are also chargeable at checkout. For indices, leverage is limited to 10 which was too limited for me. I found it out after I bought the challenge.
Don't give up on your dreams. Keep sleeping.

"prop trading is a good way to develop bad habits".
so bringing out all the bad habits from trading ,because of using a prop ,costs you often more then any money won.
this costs many never calculate in and wonder why they dont grow very big longterm. thatswhy you never see professional traders inside prop, because of the big losing/less winning/opportunity costs (however you call it) money longterm against trading in own account.

The good thing of FXIFY is that you can request a payout+fee refund as soon as you receive the funded account and make a tiny profit (it could be just minutes after you make your first trade in the funded account). This limits the risk.

I have no idea if they bank wire. What we know here for crypto, from several experiences, is that they are quite messy since Deel kicked them out. Apparently the trick is to request the payout and then go to Telegram and ask their support to process it.
The payout form is the same for crypto and wire so I guess the same appplies. Their site live support is totally useless to solve that. Apparently only in Telegram people have been able to solve things.

They are backed by FXPIG if that means anything.

Not necessarily if you trade your account in a different way.

I trade props aggressively to extract the most I can for my personal account. My personal account is traded in a completely different way, risk wise and systems wise.

The reason I trade props aggressively is because I don't believe (and I never believed) in long term relations with this (online) industry. Online props keep coming and disappearing, inventing reasons for not paying, etc. No point in developing long term relations and good habits in props.
So the right strategy (for me) is to be aggressive and extract as most as we can from them. So far, so good.

I heard here Takisd saying that FF can be a problem for payouts of 5 figures.

FXIFY is pretty new (I think May). I didn't hear any stories yet about denied payouts. Just these delays due to internal disorganisation.

From the trade execution point of view - my experience with TFF has been terrible lately - my last manual close order took longer than 30s to execute which breached my account. So I'm not with them anymore and don't plan to return. On the other hand FXIFY trading has been flawless so far

I didn't experience that in TFF recently until today.
Today I've been experiencing that. Fortunately in quiet times, so no relevant slippage. But could have been bad in more volatile times.

Im semi newbie. But I do notice how the markets need time to breathe. Even if the way structure of prop firms rules helps traders to get discipline. It still kinda makes traders develop this habit of taking huge risks. Considering what Ive seen last year with prop firms.
Trading with pennies makes more sense.
To get a feel of the market without behavior of taking huge risks as they see the dollar signs marketed all over and massive payouts to left and right. So just a big risk and there goes into the mind. What would it hurt... If Alabama Joe can earn 1 million dollars easily according to Prop firm kid CEO. Then im sure anyone can make it too... Mind of a general prop firm trader. But each to their own.

{quote} About drawdown. You must to manage. If you have 10% drawdown. And risk 1% per trade, you have 10 loss trades and account it's closed. If you have 5% drawdown. And risk 0.5% per trade, you have again... 10 loss trades and account it's closed. Very good experience with 5ers. But not funded account yet.

many are to young in this companies and many traders.

age is very important for trading. until 25 (for some until 30) the brain frontal lap is not developed to the end and so good long term decisions are not really easy to do. thatswhy most people do most stupid things until they are 30. bad the brain you need for trade very good is only developed to the end after 25 and older, many never use this fact. they would need a extern fontal lap ( father, moter, older friends..) to help them with long term decisions, but who is smart enough to accept someone needs help to get much better. many fail because they dont know themself (and can accept this fact) ,what they can do good and what they cant do good , so cant improve.

Brace for impact folks. If you are at a prop firm other than ftmo, please ask who their dashboard provider is. If it is not inhouse, say an extra prayer. If it is, make a list here for folks to not get tangled up in whats coming. For clarity - self made dashboard good - outsourced bad.
5ers has own dashboard?
