Prop firm industry will not lose out on the US Clients. Its just a matter of time. They make the most money out of US since we have the most DREAMERS here who want to make a lot of money overnight.

US Basically feed's a good percentage of prop firms !
Drawdown is more important than Account Size !

If I am an american (other than my degenerate friend Expo) I would suggest not buying a prop account until things are a bit more clear.
relocate to offshore broker jurisdictions + own servers + dx trade/trade locker platform + crypto payment processors... possible battle plan?

Expo won't have a problem in buying. He will start phase 1 at 7 am, completes phase 2 before lunch time will blow the funded account or be millionaire by the end of the day.

Now, seriously, I think most of the props are sh*ting their pants in having US people on board. And anyone should be worried about the other ones that welcome americans.

For now US people better to start learning to trade future with trailing stop.

Its not a guarantee. Remember, 1Broker.com wasn't on US soil, but was still seized, shuttered and sued out of existence.
Trade with confidence, trade without fear.

{quote} properly managed 500:1 simply reduces the unprotected margin you must deposit at a broker. Example, i wish to trade 1 lot of gbpusd with a 30 pip stop.......i am risking $300 in us, i must put up $5,000(unprotected) in margin to execute this trade or i can place $100 each at 5 500:1 brokers and execute .2 lot at each now you tell me, which is better risk mitigation? You pro-regulation folks need to stop with the blanket assumption that nobody knows how to manage leverage and risk and we must all be "protected" from it......it's complete...
good analysis
i still need lot more understanding about leverage
i want to work in more secured enviroment where leverage might by just 1:10 only
but there is full security of funds, without any govt. Issues

The US funding companies are pretty much done if they're forced by the brokers to ban US residents regardless of meta/ctrader/dxtrade being offered. They make the investments to act as their own broker with their own servers like ftmo/tff/mff and here comes the CFTC.
-You are probably right.

Although, even if a firm can find a way to hook into a feed using some kind of custom software that can manage accounts/draw-down and integrate into their dashboard etc., then the CFTC should not have anything to do with that, since nothing is real.

You could start a company that handles everything in-house, using paper trading based on trading view charts, and the CFTC can do nothing about it. It just doesn't make sense to me. And although the MFF case could help to bring clarity on the matter, I suspect that it won't, and that the CFTC will get what they want in the form of taking down all of these remote props.

I'm fully prepared to survive with 5 offshore broker accounts + personal futures accounts @ AMP & TDA + Futures funding accounts @ Apex & Bulenox... but this fallout is still really sad & stings, however we knew this day was eventually coming.

Blueberry is done as well for US, its not just purple. Given the hubbub thats going on, I wouldn't be surprised if there is an influx in regulatory complaints coming from consumers now in many jurisdictions. Its the last thing people want as the action will be worse.

FTMO banned not just US, but India as well.
On the other hand most of the prop firms targetting India, Pakistan countries like that because people from these countries don't know that much how to make money in trading and they lose more, but on the other hand US consists of people who are more minded and who are into trading from a very long and US people want to make rich quick, most of the flipping account videos $100 to $100K are from US youtubers and traders.
I am not intended to say anything bad about any country but this is what i have noticed.

Now you tell me, which is better risk mitigation?

I’m not disputing that at all.

I was simply stating, factually, that many complaints have been made to regulators over the last couple of years about Black Bull Markets, and that many rather naïve customers imagined that because they were opening an account with a "broker" whose website claims that they’re regulated in New Zealand, that those customers’ own accounts would be regulated there (in spite of having 1:500 leverage!).

Again it’s just factual - there’s really no need to start an argument about it.

This is a "broker" notorious for deceiving new customers about how and where they're regulated. Sorry if it upsets you, old chap, but (unlike most of what you post yourself) it isn't opinion: it's FACTUAL. There is a difference between the two, you know?

I am as well. However, are you concerend regarding Metaquotes pulling the licenses of the offshores we use? Or just assuming they will migrate to another platform?

100% concerned... it's a discussion some of us here have been having on the offshore thread elsewhere. I'm hoping the established offshore brokers that took the FTMO step with new US customers will keep their licenses.

So it looks like MetaQuotes have a general, serious problem with PurpleTrading. PurpleTrading have then decided to say that everyone involved in prop is in trouble, even though other brokers have apparently had no such contact from MetaQuotes, causing lots of rumour, panic and uncertainty.

It seems like it's MetaQuotes's 6 monthly rampage where they destroy some brokers / firms.

The industry is going to no doubt look at diversity in platforms as the US is such a traffic source and the risk MQ may settle on no-US, but everyone else is fine.

FTMO were placed on the equivalent of the CFTC's 'red list' in India. Although so were IG Index, a FTSE250 company, so that shows what a load of shit that is.

Plus India, Pakistan, Vietnam and others have a lot of fraud traffic and risk (as they do traditional brokerage), so may not be worth the hassle. Getting money in and out of India related to FX is really hard.
