For futures odds are more in their favor probably 100 times more as compared to forex prop firms. Unless CFTC disrupts they will remain.

Their models are based off revenues from failed challenges covering the few wining traders. It may take longer but ultimately will fail just like the forex props since it's still structured the same way. I've seen apex starting to pay out millions every month and they cant sustain that over the long time if it's all coimg from failed challenges.

Difference is no refund of eval/challenge AND ongoing subscription for evals and live (if one doesn't pay the lifetime) AND payout caps. I may be unrealistically optimistic, but I think the futures firms have a far more sustainable model.

Failed challenges + PA fees + no refunds + payout cap. Lets do math one challenge with 80% discount is like 35$ (pass rate best case scenario is 25%) for 50K account and PA fees is 140$.
Total income = (35 * 4 + 140) 280$ (minimum) for 2.5K drawdown (if you factor in TRAILING thing 2.5K becomes almost 1K)
APEX is paying out millions because they are getting multi million registration's.
If registrations reduces payout also reduces.

{quote} Advise is freely given and I understand you my friend. There's account analysis you did around January 2024 using prop firm and your personal, as much as I cherished it and the possibility of it but I know you can not maintain that kind of grow for long without blowing the account.
I lov to take risk.

And I was done that 300 $ long ago today. ( with this result of today, I am done for total 6 days )

But then, when i see opportunity, i do not miss it. I got pumped up due to unwanted talks here. But yes, it did good to me at the end.

I lov to take risk.

This is all mine.

To become a better trader, one must be prepared to take risk and go at it.

This is last time for you, if you wish to get inspired by my result.

But... my advice remains, you should be inspired by your result. Not mine.

I tend to agree but anyway, sooner or later:
1. They need to start banning the gamification (eg purchasing account after account with payouts and withdraw of everything, including buffer, and restart again).

2. New cowboys will come with unrealistic offers, which will put pressure to respond.

That's why I think now is still the time to make money in futures. Who knows what hell will be in a couple of months (even without regulators).

The online prop industry seems to have a tendency for self destruction.

I may like your posted result to encourage you and be happy for you but I can't be inspired by a day result or few trades, that kind of inspiration belong to newbie not me. Some of us (including you) have been on FF for long to know that stuff like this doesn't last but let's enjoy it for a season.

The point here is you are not me, and I am not you.

People's perception change.

A trader when loosing continuously, will be afraid to take risk.

A trader winning continuously will be willing to take risk.

Hope you get my point.

DarwinIA calibration (stage where they learn trading style and adjust risk for signal account) is done

Signal account
Overall profit - 60.26%
Max loss - 15%
Total Trades - 1656
Trading days - 15
Mostly traded - NDX

Index
Darwin Index profit - 2.13
Darwin Index max loss = -1.94

They assign VAR risk = 0.1 which means if I make 10$ profit on signal account they will put 1$ on index.
By that logic I should have alteast 6% on index.
Leverage on indices NDX is so low like I can open only 10 lots max (equivalent to 5 lots in futures)
May be I need to scale down and stop treating account as video game click click and click for next 45 days as 0.1 factor is killing me.

The maths doesnt seem bad but once new registraitons reduce, which they definitely will over time either due to competition, regulation or just gamblers getting tired of failing, then the model will run it's course as well.

I really hope one of 5ers or FTMO can survive this shaking because they've proven to be very reliable. The 5ers seems very solid considering they have other offers besides the high stakes that and their risk management is more robust.

As Sampat says the risk engine will scale you down if you overleverage anyways. For example, If I trade more than 3 lots on GBP/USD the risk engine will start scaling me down but 3 lots is more than enough on 100K to make profits and build a track record. It's all about the track record.
