If you look deeper into them they are just money grabs. Hantec and Oanda are using FPFX for petes sake.

You can expect their breach mechanism not to work at the very least because FPFX is a scam facilitation mechanism run by clowns.
Well then those are off the list. I still hope ICFunded will stay for longer but who knows.

MFF were with FPFX too, but they'll no doubt get a pass on that.

they were but they were leaving. Before they were shut down all new customers were going to new dashboard. For a month ish. There is speculation that thats where the case came from.

That sounds pretty stupid speculation to me.

A business that makes most of its money from US customers (and all its money from prop) willingly brings scrutiny from one of the most powerful regulators to a company it's inextricably linked with.

{quote} Actually, AMP I still use MT5. I use quantower with my apex accounts. However, I am going to covert amp over as then I get the licensed version for free. https://support.atf.com/hc/en-us/art...our-Service-On Scroll down to quantower, it is a live link. Use your rithmic login credentials.
Thanks!

The people in FPFX are pretty stupid. Anyone who has dealt with them know this and the level of greed and deception is very high inside that rat company.
I am removing the5ers from my list. I was going to start with them but as I was preparing I read deeper into the rules. The profit day rule and the max loss rule make the program sustainable for the company but stupid for the trader. Although the end result is achievable, I have no interest in doing 50 trades to pass their first phase and then being equally as limited in phase 2 and on the live account.

I respect the idea that it is a sustainable model, but it doesn't fit my purpose. At least not as a starting account for what I plan to do. I might come back to it later but taking a single trade each day is not going to be worth it if my max risk can be 1%.

If the CFTC were so willing and MFF so vulnerable to one complaint, then it was probably a matter of time regardless of who instigated it.

Be interesting to see what happens to TFT / Angelo and the crew with all the complaints going in about them.

I just went over the T&C of the high stakes program , I dont see any mentioning of doing 50 trades for each phase ?

{quote} everyone's always banging on about how high leverage equals high risk in trading. But honestly, I think people just simply dont understand the usage of it. Here's the thing: if you're a smart trader who sticks to, let's say, risking just 1% of your trading capital on each trade, whether you're using 1:30 leverage or 1:100 leverage, the risk is the same, right? It is still 1% doesnt matter the leverage. And when you've got a decently funded account or you're in some trading challenge with a healthy balance, the whole leverage debate seems...
Agree in ideal world it makes sense. But million dollar question is do we live in ideal world? Well with this logic one doesn't even need prop firm. The logic of having prop firm is to earn money as fast as possible before it gets busted. 1% risk in prop firm account is 10%. High leverage is Needed if you are scalping Risk is based on stop loss distance not leverage.

I think only the boot camp requires stop loss.

Just passed the high stakes program. Just needed to make sure I had 3 days of 0.5% profit on the initial account balance and hit the overall target. Passed in 3 days and got the funded account.

{quote} preprared a new goal for futures for this quarter to get max funding on apex (10 already done). Then move to next batch myfundedfutes, topstep and elitetraders/bulenox max funding. People share experiences of other futures firms helps other with decision making.
Congrats! I've been researching further on Apex and it seems you really need to close your trade the same day? So, if you're a swing trader, it won't work?
Or am I missing something?

{quote} prop model revised: max days, why limit the challenge etc?!? other than operative reasons and to try to force traders to trade it out agressively, this rule is stupid. I entered prop just because they canceled this rule...slow plays, lower risk, this is the whole agenda later on you say about new model...so keep the unlimited time. Minimum days, i dont know..beats me...
//-----

hey 21..... you are absolutely correct, at least in my mind..... 100%......

to pass step 1 with topstepfx in 2019/20 we had to double our accounts in 30 days...... that was not easy, for me at least..... still have my trade explorers..... 100%.....

there is no shame in trading responsibly and taking your time...... personally i'm comfortable at 10% per month, so it takes me roughly 20 days to pass the average 100k challenge...... myfundedfx having that unlimited time helped......

losing mq4 in prop firms was unfortunate....

apex futures seems the most solid deal going..... even though it might be more expensive than typical fx props...... my all in cost on 20 accounts was under 4000, which includes the lifetime fee.... took 10 days to pass..... see no need for speed......

and if someone feels my trading slow and responsible puts me in the category of traders shouldn't be funded on real money, so be it......

to trade and code, keep both simple... no call to impress....h

Yes, all trades and orders must be closed by EOD.

Day 2 done in asian session. My target for funded accounts is aim to 400$ a day for 10 days. Aiming to pull 2k per account and leave 2k drawdown. after first payout will reduce to to aim 100-150$ a day. Also after looking patrick weiland (youtuber) account list thinking to going for 150k x 10 account. No more challenges for now first secure the payout then reinvest
