{quote} The worse is that TFF already showed for several times that they don't adapt to any tech problems, the trader is the one to suffer, not them. A decent company, which TFF is not, would solve this quickly and, after that, offer some kind of compensation for the annoyance. And process the payouts immediatly.
damn you made me miss MFF

MFF is the legend in this industry populated with scammers, incompetents and shady people.

{quote} This BS is still going on... MT5 traders are on the dark, no updates from TFF other than... "We are migrating gradually, please be patient." My payout date has passed and accounts were not updated... Now apparently the payout was pushed to Feb 13th. MT5 stats are not updated yet and no migration in sight. I would advise any newcomers to be aware of these issues with TFF... It doesn't smell good if you ask me, both migration or fix should have been applied for now... I think 10 days have passed already, more than enough time for either, if...
yes its a pain and a worry going forward. I luckily had just got a payout. Then thought it was strange that it was taking more days than normal to issue a new account. They have now issued me a funded mt4 account insteaded of the mt5 I was using. I do however have a challenge on mt5 that I'm unable to trade on. Hopefully it gets sorted soon.

I love the constant subtle futures prop pushing agenda by 2 of our favorite countertrend posters... they always seem to pop up together and quote each other lol. The futures props are the same virtual/simulated casino as the fx props.... with trailing DD most traders blow up before they get pushed to a live account & quite a few of the futures props like Apex and Bulenox never go to live accounts.
The main difference with fx prop firms the higher rate of payouts. I haven't been looking into fx prop firms much lately but maybe fx prop firms apart from FTMO provides consistent payouts the last months, "prop firms which shut down their services due to their worker got pregnant or something" I wont mention which prop firm it is but which most here say is 2nd most reliable nowadays, which to me its not.

The question is how Cryptosurf can surf on these futures prop firms while the rest here whines about them to left and right. From the charts others showed here lately "bragging" of their trading patterns with fx prop firms it becomes quite obvious what kind of trader the majority who visit here is apart from Cryptosurf which mentioned his tradingstyle before and some others maybe.
Its like people are too lazy to adapt to markets which can make them profitable, its easier to gamble... and maybe gamble more.

Recently looked into some futures prop firm streamers on youtube. Due to how futures prop firms some of them like topstep and apex removed daily limits the hardcore casino gamblers flocked into the futures prop firm industry the last year too. As a samaritan its bothersome. Since futures prop firms takes 2x skills to be profitable from the simple calculations i did before when I compared it with fx prop firms.

I'll quote from what that big guy from the Bulls and Bears documentary said when asked how he could adapt to market "edge". He said. "I just stare at the screen, thats all I do then it comes to me". That guy he lost millions of dollars right but he still did quite well.
So compared to most here as I understand rather just pay not stare and have a good time to gamble.

It is possible.

That is why I am trading in that way.

There were occasional losses, but that I would recover.

If it is funded / challenge account, the daily loss limit will hurt.

In real money account, no.

In challenge / funded accounts, a continuous 2 day loss will eventually breach loss limit, in real money account, no.

{quote} NOt experienced yet but only heard good about them....
They paid a trader and then breached his account without explaining any rule violations a couple weeks ago, just didn't fit their risk. Their social media representatives in groups have ignored all questions why. It would appear that they dump profitable traders because of their silence on this topic, but I'm still waiting to hear their side of the story. Maybe the trader "cheated" the system, but then why pay him first? Keep an eye on this firm to see if this becomes a pattern like so many others.

nonsense, i have just brought up another account in less than 25 days from under 100, i think it was $26, of course you have to accept the drawdown with such risk&growth.

you dont need prop trading.

thx, of course...the more regulation the worse for trading. i remember in 2000 they (usa) implemented the "pattern day trader rule" to "protect" the retail trader. they made it worse for good traders.

Futures has a bit of a learning curve coming from FX space for sure, but I had dived into Futures starting about 5-6 years ago. I always traded mostly US indicies as it is. I am also active in other Futures forums, talking to other Futures traders etc.

yes, i am doing this regulary from time to time. its because i had a large, well-known broker with a good reputation
which went bancrupt. so i lost everything there.

so i know when this happens again, i am able to start from zero. that gives me tremendous confidence.

dont look for a "system", its more tactic, approach or commom sense.

its very hard, there needs to be some bias based on which you are able to click that buy or sell button
and there need to be some mathematical calculation based on which you put quantity and sl and tp
you can't do just random, because you have to do that continuously
can you tell a little bit how you do trading? which timeframe you chose? are you scalper or what?
what is your average trade dration and r:r

-Learning how to win is easy. Learning how to lose is the hard part.

But as mentioned, once you know what you are doing, even if you blow an account, it will not be the end of the world, because you can always build it back up again.

i am mainly scalping, taking 5, 10 or 20 pips. trading only GU (95%) and knowing this pair very well over years. beliefe me, you will start to see things you never thought about. like the charakter of a person, you will know in advance what he or she will do or say or what it means.

look at the h1 close of GU. how many times you would get 5 or 10 pips IF you just take the color of the closed candle as your bias for the next trade?

often.

the key is to know when you are wrong and you have to hedge, average or close the position with a loss. you only can learn through observation.

Were they regulated?..... a well known, regulated broker went bankrupt and you lost everything???? Couldn't be, regulation protects us all.
