{quote} I agree. Everyone can do as they wish, but anything other than the 5%ers and FTMO...........just light your money on fire.
+ Apex and Bulenox (and Topstep) + AlphaCapitalGroup too I think you can add as good props nowadays.

If anyone has not chargebacked from bespoke yet, use the FCA notice and get your chargeback. Strangle Kaler whilst he is on the run to dubai.
What did I miss ? What FCA notice are you referring ?

Edit: OK, I see:

{quote} I am more interested in the CFTC and how they are going to approach the next step. They might not even want to settle. It will be the tell on where things are going and futures won't be saved by this as well, the futures props will be on the chopper too.
Please, no. You really think the CFTC will also come after Futures prop because it is a similar business model to forex prop? Hoping being registered with CFTC will save them. Counting on that, to be honest.

I have a dinky personal account now with AMP. I'm working hard to pass with Apex to get paychecks for bills and to grow my AMP account.

There are many warnings. Also against 5ers and FTMO I think.

The problem I see with Future props is the fees side for trading currency futures. I get 5 times more in fees with currency futures than trading that kind on FX props. So basically I am forced to use a totally different strategy to trade ES exclusively, where I have only 1 tick + comms. =$17 cost per day. Those fees can add up a lot over some days. That is real problem for all Forex traders I think. It is not so easy to switch and just trade the currency futures I experienced. Everyone needs to be aware of.

[quote=Takisd;14648724]{quote} The MFF case has a competitors friend as the Whistleblower (again rumors but pretty solid ones as they dont know how to shut their mouth). I wont name them for legal reasons but you've probably seen one or two of their youtube videos and they claim unbias. /quote]

If it is the case thats the dumbest move ever, surely it would be clear that attempting to bring down mff would also screw WBs friend and whole industry. Unless this person felt mff model was different enough from friends firm that they wouldn't get any blow back. Or Perhaps a non US competitor would feel safe from repercussions of cftc

From my understanding although limited and with no first hand information, I think everyone greatly underestimated MFF's ability to defend itself. But courts try not to rule against gov much and gov tries to settle these things.

Sometimes the stars align, sometimes they don't. Some folks think the RFED charges will stick, based on my understanding of Props and my recent deep dives on 5.1 5.2 and 5.3 I don't see how a prop can be found guilty of this unless using a third party broker.

But with the US gov you never know. It could be a dramatic situation it could be straight forward. From the judges responses in the court he seems fairly reasonable.

Usually these other warnings are from regulatory bodies outside of the firms operating country. In this case FCA can actually do something about Bespoke, and probably will.

Likely other UK firms will also now be drawn into any action taken. Which is why I'm a little frustrated to see all the twitter snitching, tagging regulatory bodies here there and everywhere. Action will more likely be blanket action then case by case, so all lose.

{quote} I remember when I first put my toe in the water with futures and i thought it was pretty painful. The more I got into it then it wasn’t so foreign to me. I still use MT5 on my AMP personal account.
Thanks for the encouragement.
So do you trade futures with an AMP account using MT5?

MT5 was good for futures when they had Level2 data included from CQG. So you had a DOM where you could trade from. Recently Level2 is not available anymore. Bad.

You don't actually have to come from the side......it's right there in front of our faces.......just half the country has their heads buried in the sand.

{quote} Most of the traffic in the spreadsheet is botted. Even TFT's. Some companies have like #1 traffic source to dashboard as rwanda for example (funding pips). Dont trust any of the traffic stats, the situation is far worse than it appears. 5ers and FTMO thats it, nothing else.

Updated sheet... To weed out the most egregious botted traffic from smaller countries, I limited data to unique visits from only
US + CAN + UK + EU (Italy/France/Spain/Germany)

Apex vs. FTMO is interesting
