{quote} Futures, futures, futures.......they want us to trade what they want us to trade. Forex and CFDs takes away from it.
100% correct...

Once Binance introduced US stock futures, it was only a matter of time before the US took them out.

If CFDs were legal in the US...

They would steal volume away from markets completely dominated by US exchanges... $$$
If a trader/institution/hedge fund wanted to hold the S&P 500 futures for years they would incur years of forced quarterly rolling & commissions, which are eliminated by non expiring CFDs... $$$
CFD real time data = free, futures real time data = monthly exchange fees... $$$
CFDs are taxed on realization when sold, Futures are taxed mark to market annually... $$$

CFD's put trillions in US exchange seat fees, US taxes, US exchange volume, US commission fees and US exchange real time data fees @ risk.

-This level of comprehension and out-of-the-box-thinking is unfathomable among the general population. It amazes me how so many people easily settle, choosing to remain oblivious without questioning anything and making continuous concessions in lieu of demanding positive and meaningful change.

But I am hopeful that a shift will occur as more people wake up to our true reality.

400K in skilled is big risk. Better to keep payouts low before Blake notice your existence. You need consider diversifying the funding, as soon as possible.

{quote} From what I gather from metaquotes the brokers have other problems beyond the crypto stuff. For starters, they are not allowing props to get a metaquotes license anymore. The ones getting them now have brokerage licenses elsewhere (offshore). I suspect something will come with the brokers but what do I know, I'm just a random poster on an internet forum. The argument against props using a 3rd party broker is much easier for US regulators in my opinion, as those brokers shouldnt be accepting any US resident full stop as the service they provide...
IN that case one should not look further than props that are their oen brokers, like FTMO,5ers,ACG.

No, instead you get a "discretionary" performance fee bonus ranging from 0.25-0.5% of the account size.

So if you have a 100K account you get $250-$500.

I'm not sure what they use to determine the amount you get but maybe it has to do with if any promo codes were used. If you used the most recent 40% off promo code and paid $300 for a 100K account then I would imagine they wouldn't give you a $500 bonus fee but who knows?

Anyway, I just bought a 50K challenge for $180 to test them out. We'll see how it goes.

MFFX pays and very fast. Instant reset. Instant phase 2 and funded.

Swift is doing exactly the same thing with the same product. And for me this is the only thing interesting. I don't care at all about their attitude on Twitter or stuff like that.
