{quote} there are some reports of props selling this type of data as well as mail data. When i sign for a prop i always used a brand new email address. On the one i used for TFT I am now getting like 50 different prop firms spamming me, pick a name you have never heard of and its them.
Me too, last year my number got leaked and scammers always calling me almost everyday, they dont just sell your data to other prop firms, some of these firms are selling data to scammers

{quote} is this based on personal experience with LUX ?

No, I don’t trade CFDs and wouldn’t touch it, myself, just for that reason.

I do know three people who have used Lux, though (the third one actually at my suggestion) and I haven’t yet heard anything bad about them. All three got qualified, at their very different speeds.

As these dreadful CFD things go, a genuinely funded account at an independent, regulated brokerage and no time-limits and no monthly subscriptions, and reliable payouts sounds a pretty good combination, to me. So I thought I’d mention it, just for the CFD recidivists - but it’s all second-hand information.

{quote} They are the worst. Every review after phase 1&2 takes a couple of weeks. I had to wait at least a month for each payout. Their new conditions are terrible - they used to have a reasonable 5/10% goal for each phase with 10% drawdown, now they increased the targets and decreased max drawdown - and all of that with increased prices. Their current offer is absolutely the worst among prop firms.
They probably increased the prices and worsen the conditions probably because they were sodomized in court by a trader

{quote} The maximum trailing drawdown is calculated as 8% from your high watermark. Its actually no a problem. It becomes problem only if you trade too big position size.
This is one of the most controversial things (to say the least) that I have read here.
Trailing DD is a big disadvantage. It's math, not an opinion.

+1. No doubts that TFT did/does that.

And also forex brokers.
I'm thinking in asking several free SIM cards and change my phone number in the props to these numbers.
Usually in T&C they say that they could call us and we need to be available, bla bla bla but in about 4 years I never got a call from a prop to discuss whatever and, as far as I know, those making interviews for risk or whatever, do that online.

Trailing DD is a trap. The best metaphor I can use is ---> long/short squeeze.

It only gives an advantage/edge to the prop firm.

That's nothing to do with daily loss. It's the absolute loss to accommodate bad periods of small losses (anybody had or will have them, except the super traders of internet and twitter that never lose).

You start with 100K with a trailing 8%, capping at 100K.
You have a good strike of profits and achieve 108K. Now if you lose 8K the account is over.

You start with 100K with a static 8%.
You have a good strike of profits and achieve 108K. Now the account is over only if you lose 16K.

8K vs 16K.

That's why I say it's math, it's not an opinion.

Terrible offering, regardless of whether he's a good guy or not. $875 for 100k. 12% target 8% drawdown.Profit splits absolute joke. If you make 5% profit you keep 25%. That's enough for me to look no further.

I agree. CTrader is obviously a huge plus, over MT, but on the other hand, they have very high fees, only 1:30 leverage (and "we do reduce leverage on some products as exposure is increased"), a maximum drawdown that trails open equity(!!), a requirement to reach 9%+ profit just to earn 75%, and they claim they use brokers but they won’t name any of them.

Are there really people naive enough to pay for that?!

Since angelo owns a lot of SFT i wouldnt be surprised. Also look at the three musketeers now promoting other companies.

I was first trying to understand if the guy was serious even before jumping in the offer. Glad that you guys did the work
