{quote} contact @TraderNOK on X and @TraderBach I know they’ve helped traders with issues pertaining to Prop firms. I would also make sure you have screenshots of your conversation with your firms, support.
Thank you sir,
I contacted my bank for a charge back and then also was able to get evidence from my MT4 journal that the system was not able to close trades.

they are considering reinstating my account back, but in 2 minds to accept it or not or get my bank for the chargeback

Thanks though for the guidance

{quote} I'm not sure but I think Nova trading is of the same guys that scammed with blue forex funds and first class forex funds. If they had a malfunctioning and are not assuming it I would try to charge back through my card.
I managed to get a screenshot of MT4 journal which has proof that I was unable to close the trades.
Their operation manager has now come back to offer to reinstate the account back, but in 2 minds whether to accept it or go for charge back
but feel angry that they were going to "steal" $1,000 for my challenge fees.

Glad that this is being solved. If you manage to get a charge back I would not hesitate.

You just had a flavor of what shady prop your are dealing with. You have several better props where to to your money.

Apparently Alpha is giving away free 5K challenges.
It's not a lot but maybe it's a good opportunity to test their platform, dashboard, spreads, execution, etc.

{quote} Something that would worry me if I had achieved a big chunk of money before the 3 months was if the Apex subjective consistency rules (not the 30% and 20%) will ever be enforced (I mean reducing a lot the size compared with what was usual). We don't see claims about that in FakePilot but we also know that they had a brutal bust in the last 2 months for what I read or see somewhere. I hope that they stay honest like until now, not inventing reasons for deducting profits. Because, being objective, this...
I read through the APEX funded trader consistency rules last night.

Wow, it's amazing that they can ramble on and say the same thing over and over and over again. How do they expect you to trade?

Closing positions every day is bad enough. I guess you can kind of swing trade and just keep paying the spreads every day. But I can't build a position by dollar cost averaging a few smaller positions.

You can't trade news because you might get a windfall trade? So you can't wait for a key level to be broken during the news and then enter a position when price retraces back to that level? Or you can't set simultaneous buy and sell positions before the news at key levels that you think would be attractive levels to get in the market based on 20000 hours of chart time?

You can't scalp because your position size would radically change from the normal buy-and-hold trade?

And they want you to be able describe your system in words if they ask? How about I use multiple strategies based on decades of experience to extract money from the market? Is that ok APEX?

Yep, I have a funded with them and used the BF discount of 40% to purchase another challenge. Now it's even 41% instead of 40%.
I don't know how to such a massive discount but let's see....

if you can scalp Futures then Apex is best. There is no way to scale this on your own. You can trade 50 to 100 contracts across 20 accounts at a time with them. You cannot do more on a Futures brokerage account with scalping. And it is easier to get in and out with simu conditions as you can get more slip on real account. Apex is therefore the best way for scalping. You cannot swing trade with them really. It is too hard and the trailing is too strict. But for scalpers this can be heaven and you get nearly all profits from your simu accounts Apex. So here we have a solution which is better then any real account at a broker for sure. You only need to be able to scalp.

{quote} It is probably 1000% or 2000% if your account is 50K or 150K (with allowed drawdown of 2.5K or 5K times 20). Someone asked Vince (first million dollar withdrawer from apex on youtube) and he responded the was keeping 320K (means 20K*20 = 400K) as butter you need silver balls to do that, It is difficult to trust even regulated broker with such money. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjTd8WffpQI {image}
with regulated broker you can trust any money, how you want do big without have millions in Account?
but secure your money with buy structured products like bonds, some etf, stocks.... so you are outside the bankrupt risk part.
so with a good broker securing money until whateverever amount is most easy task. or you use custodian service.

Wise words. If you know the desasters from Refco, MF Global, FXCM and many others especially in FX space you know it is hard to trust. You can only diversify best.
In crypto space it is even much worse with Mt. Gox and now FTX blownups. You do not know if even the future broker is doing illegal things, meaning your deposits are not secured and safe here for any fraud case. Now Vantage in FX is making withdrawal problems. Therefore the props are golden. Especially when the payouts are sure.
Even I know Gain Capital from the old days, when you made over 5000 USD profits in Forex you got kicked out of the broker. It was just a bucket shop b-booking only.

1. SIMPLE TRY TO SCALP 10-20 pips with the trend
2. MOST IMPORTANT NOT TO RISK MORE THAN 1% per trade.
3. Strict discipline to follow above two rules.
Yesterday trades… ONLY GOLD, GU & US30
