Prop web traffic trends... Web traffic > challenge purchasers > blown challenge profits = payout money pool {image}The data is not perfect with botted traffic from smaller countries, however last time I filtered by just unique visits from US + Can + UK + EU (Germany/France/Spain/Italy) there wasn't much of a difference in positioning. ACG & FE have made moves, as well as Trade day on the futures side. MFF still being in the top 6 with no advertising or affiliate marketing is crazy. If they can get through this, It wont be that difficult for them...
The 5%ers doing well also, high stakes was a game changer for them....2 stage is what almost all of successful "remote" prop traders are looking for. Combined with their 8 years and reputation.

A case involving Smart Prop Trader (SPT) from Blake artist.

Apparently they banned a trader for martingale, despite their conditions seem to say that they welcome everything onboard.

According with Blake the guy was paid and banned but, due to a technical fail from SPT, he was able to enroll again. Now he got to a payout and was denied. He is filling a legal case.

It's a long thread

It's also good to remember that in SPT they can refuse a payout if the trader refuses a YT interview. It's in their T&C.

APEX have 80% off again. I am gonna give it a shot with 50k Rithmic account and intend to use Ninja. Tried Tradovate but didn't like it. I do not like Ninja too, but if I understand right, you can connect to Sierra Chart later (with extra fee of course). @pipmaster77 , would you share some tips and tricks for 5%ers and did you found any cons with them?
Out of my mind these are the points that may be negative for someone, depending on their trading style:

1. No news trading in +/-2 minutes, although they have a very wide interpretation. I think they only limit this to opening positions and not a problem if a SL / TP is hit during those 2 minutes, provided that the position is opened for a long time.

2. Three days minimum >0.5%

3. inactivity period is 21 days maximum

Sorry, missed end of that post asking about 5%ers. As Capablanca pointed out, the news trading rule, the 0.5% and the inactivity would be the only negatives. None of these impact me. Spreads re 0 on majors, razor thin on crosses. I have no execution issues, got positive slippage on a limit order on NAS last week. They are the real deal and reputation is pretty much perfect.
I NEVER liked them do their offerings, but high stakes was the game changer for me. Only other drawback is max initial funding is 100K (technically 105K as they allow a 5K + any other size). However, you CAN scale much quicker as it occurs every 10% regardless of time. The traditional 2 step firms is 10% EVERY 3-4 MONTHS.
They also offer a salary once you are pretty deep in their scaling, I have yet to determine if that is a marketing gimmick or legit. Obviously, there would be some Ts &Cs with that.

What's the cheapest 3 step evaluation right now, I saw some prop firm that's offering $17 for a $10,000 account but I forgot what prop was that.

Wow! I think that's ridiculously cheap! I wouldn't venture into it.
Besides, why would I subject myself to a 3 steps evaluation?
2 steps is still an headache,why 3? I'm looking for just 1 step evaluation and TFT Knight Challenge has it!

3 step is slavery like so why would anyone search for one? I don't get it.
It should be you make x% then get paid straight away on a lower account size before scaling without challenges.

All the best with your search.

that makes the5ers better in terms of commissions/spreads than FTMO for the majors
what about the indices like Dow, S&P , Dax and commodities ?

Stay away from the Top Tier Trader!

They recently introduced a new set of vague rules regarding 'gambling and overleveraging'.

After 9 days of waiting, they denied my payout and reset my balance to 200k because of overleveraging. The highest position size I had was 40 lots on 200k account which is a much smaller leverage than what they offer.

They do not state clearly what constitutes the overleveraging and gambling, it seems like an another excuse to scam people and do not pay them.

Top Tier is from Cue Banks, a know artist.

In my case I was a bit luckier than you. They refused me a funded account as I describer here:

Your posts in the topic, both this one and this one, are using an affiliation code.
You are not truly interested in sharing experiences good/bad things about props, you are only looking to profit from someone joining TFT with your code.

Besides picking the worse place in internet to do that (here we don't eat the sh* that props spread), you also picked TFT, which is one of the known shadier companies out there. Get lost.

Edit: FF already cleaned the trash.
