I regret to inform all of my esteemed colleagues here at Forex Factory that I'm done with prop firms. I realize that I have been an inspiration and a ray of sunshine to all of the traders here but I can't continue to invest any more time and energy into the prop space. Waking up in a stupor at 3 am and clicking a button on my phone and then falling back to sleep is much harder than it seems. Instead, I'm going to put more energy into learning to play the piano. But don't worry I'll continue to troll here to satisfy my sadistic desires. PS. I'm working...
All comedy aside there really are no other options left for US residents. Futures prop are an avenue but there’s a steep learning curve for those coming from FX world.
Trade with confidence, trade without fear.

yes.....CFTC wins again. Who loses? Profitable traders. This does not benefit anyone. Just as they did with brokers, those losing at props will go lose money somewhere else. This ONLY hurts the profitable traders.

What is the Commission Per Lot?
-Commission? What's that? Why pay for something you are not even needing since we only trade using "Simulated Money".
-I wonder if they also feel that way about spreads and slippage.

-I think, if you are going to use AI-generated profile images, then probably better to just not use any at all.

Yeah, I've gotten comfortable trading Bitcoin and the SP500 on Tradovate but for now, I'm just going to sit back and see how this all unfolds.

US forex cartel like Oanda, Gain capital wins . I am 1000% positive it was initiated by them. It collapsed all prop firms as these firms relies on novice traders for fees.
Good traders will loose a great opportunity.

Other new prop https://only-funds.com/ (had no time to look further into this one, maybe someone else could do more research here)
They allow HFT with Eightcap still beside normal Standard accounts. Website looking ugly.

Yes. I posted earlier, in one of the two remaining props I can trade on, 0.5 on GBPAUD, 5.6 with forex.com....hey, thanks for looking out for me, CFTC. If you trade 1 lot per day, it's 12K extra in spread annually. I trade small, how about someone trading 10 lots coughing up an extra 120K from their bottom line......it's fucking criminal, but hey they're "regulated"

lol, I thought it was bizarre anyone is launching new, then, in a unique twist of events, someone launches new with 8cap. You can't even make this shit up.
Did 8cap change their mind on prop business?

Good marketing strategy. Make your firm sound like ONLYFANS, or ONLYFOOLS. Come on man (Biden accent included)

The problem is they tend to reach beyond their given authority/framework then let the courts decide.

Forex.com was my first broker back in 2007...I still remember they had good spreads as per 2007 standards (basically 2 pip EUR/USD pair was pretty common).
I again deposited some in 2017-18. Surprisingly spreads looks similar
I feel it is better to trade currency futures on AMP or interactive brokers than traditional forex ones in US and Canada.
