{quote} That's exactly what I did in my Excel spreadsheet to make it work correctly. You just didn't have it included in your formula. ;-) But it made sense to add when making an Excel expression for it. Interestingly enough, of E8's current pricing, the 3 stage comes out with a whopping 6.55 vs 2.97 for 2 stage. I got 2.99 for The5ers High Stakes. I need to check the math and Excel formula again after supper because that really seems far off. It also doesn't work on some instant funding accounts like BuoyTrade or The5ers HyperGrowth without taking...
5%ers high stakes 100K should be $5.98. Yes, believe it or not, some of the instant funding score under 1, you actually are giving money away vs. trading your own account.
For comparison, the old MFF 200K was $9.23, more than 9 times per $1 in a personal account. Why I have such a hard time grasping all of the hatred for the best firm in every category........value, conditions, reliability, payouts....

{quote} The 0.8 and the 0.5 gives you the total profit, the 1 adds back in what you started with. So $500 with 80% profit, would be $400 profit plus the $500 stated gives you $900. $900 with 50% gives you $450 plus the $900 stated with gives you $1,350. So, if you put $500 in personal account, and hit THE EXACT targets of the firm, in this case 8% and 5% with 10% DD, you would have $1,350. Instead you have 10K max loss with 80% split, which is EXACTLY the same as an $8K personal account. Actually, leverage wise(if you use it), much better as your...
MAN!! your formulas are dope;
but I need some time and thinking to grasp these, can't grasp these just by reading for once
these are very deep, once I understand clearly, things will start to click differently, and we will be able to select better prop firms and better challenges

{quote} Well said. I am looking for same formula for futures prop firm . They are different animal all together. I have failed 10 challenges even though I was in profit.
You can analyze that in the same way, like pipmaster suggested sometime ago.

Futures challenges are, in practical terms, like 2 steps.

First step is the challenge phase
Second step is the funded phase when you trail to create the buffer to be able to withdraw. From here is like a static DD.

If we look at them as 2 steps and not just as one, them they can be compared.

That's how the 5ers was for me. I could not pass to save my life and then when I did pass I blew up the funded account in two days. Some challenges are just hard for some reason. I stuck with it and finally past after a lot of tries.

Sometimes is just bad luck. You may have decided to trade it in "wrong" days.

They don't have anything much different in terms of spreads and commissions than any other so, statistically, your probability of passing it should be the same.

You should not get discourage. It was just bad luck, like a poker player who has a bad beat 2 or 3 time in a row but should not tilt about it and carry on playing his A- game.

Let's monitor your situation closely. Was that a crypto one ? (my payouts were crypto).

{quote} Another bullshitter who bull shits about that he is not a bullshitter. Listen to his video where he "reluctantly" drops/inserts 6 figure payouts, supercars, expensive watches and houses/apartments, etc...all of the youtubers are bullshitters. Big part of their job is to make you believe that they are not bullshitters.
I don't assume that he is real same as i don't assume about anyone here on FF but what has made him to tell these "truth" or to downgrade himself!?

Damit, you're right (it's 1000 instead of 500). My last payout was early January, directly to crypto, before they sent this email on Jan 13th

Now, who's to blame ? Blue to Rise.

I'm starting to hate Rise even before I have used it.

They will take until the last second of those 5 days. It's a way of postponing the first potential payout a bit more. It's disgusting.
If you claim they will tell you that's because they need to analyse your phase 1 and 2 and parametrize risk. It's BS, of course. It's just a business decision to delay it.

Funding pips would be another option (it's Black Bull Markets).
I would not mind to include Finotive for the first account (further accounts may be dangerous because they may refuse it). They had some bad risk rules which they eliminated now (no more SL in orders and no more 50% daily DD in a single instrument).

Anyway, at this moment no one is really safe so I'm just throwing possibilities knowing that they can shut down tomorrow.

Where did you see or hear this? I just signed up last week for Rise and nowhere did I see this about needing 500 dollars to request payment or is this a Blue Guardian thing only?
