I would not trust them. I heard from several sources including reviews from a friend of someone closer to me that they have withdraw problems. Especially when you make 5 digits profits. That guy from Germany needed to hire a lawyer to get this 35k profits from Vantage Markets BROKER. I have no update on this if he got his deposit with profits back all in all. But any broker that make such problems on withdrawing you cannot trust his prop entity either. Just you have been warned. Avoid.

What is the benefit of such a newsletter ? I am not subscribed to any. Sometimes it is difficult to unsubscribe even I tried several times. Did you mean that sarcastic ?

it is a asic regulated trader and must comply with the law i have traded with vantage years ago and never had a problem with withdrawals from them i find stupid people dont give them the right identification and get caught when they try to withdraw money it seems giving us the truth might be more plausible

Maybe you could add a column for trailing stop loss? Looks like vantage uses it and there was another one.

yes, they do not accept canadians, but accept your home country where you come from.

Then find a way to bring money back to canada

I have several complaints about withdraws at Vantage, that I know from PERSONAL environment. But there are more of them. Also if you say that educated people who studied 5 years at the university are all stupid, you need to describe in what way are they so stupid, so when they trade normally on a broker their profits need to be forfeited and deposits needs to be held back because of that stupidty. For me this sounds very stupid. Second, if any profitable trader flips his accounts a few times, why he should be stupid ? It may be stupid for a b-booker like on prop challenges for the broker, but any trader who is capable doing that MUST BE SMART. I was talking of that guy who made short term over a few hundred percent on his account and wanted to withdraw his 35k profits. What is so stupid here ? I do not bother as I do not want to continue that conversation. Vantage Markets is a huge red flag for me. And I traded live on them too. Vantage has by far worse slippage than IC Markets, FYI.

I am going to trade in my own way with Darwin .

Darwin index is attached at the end of friday close.

And Darwin index attached after Tokyo open today.

Index jumped from 63.75 to 65.99.

The risk : reward matters, as I see.

As some of you say, if darwin punishes me after 45 days due to my Yolo method trading, then..ha....ha...

3. Topstep evals DLL hit.........
//----

hey monty..... kinda sure you know this but others might not.....

effective today, topstep is doing away with the daily loss limit.....

only going forward..... it is not retroactive.....

however, if using the free reset at subscription date option, that might qualify as 'going forward'......h
//------

What This Means For TopstepX Traders: Every new Trading Combine, Reset, or new Express Funded Accountwill be created without a Daily Loss Limit.

  1. Set Your Own Limits: You now have the freedom toset a Personal Daily Loss Limit that fits your risk tolerance and strategy.
  2. Increased Risk: Without the Daily Loss Limit as a safety net, it's more important than ever to stay disciplined and know when to call it a day.
  3. Full Control: You have the power to decide whether you want more room to the downside or need strict limits.
  4. More Room To Trade: Without a Daily Loss Limit, you have immediate access to your full Maximum Loss Limit.


***IMPORTANT: This update is currently available exclusively on TopstepX. We are working to extend it across NinjaTrader, Tradovate, Quantower, and all our partner platforms soon!

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

Just to report on my MPFunds funded account, I didn't get paid before breaching. Target was 8/4 with drawdown of 10/5. Purchased using a 28% discount.

1. Payout request was rejected due to not setting stoploss. They sent 4 emails after passing the evaluation, and I missed the 4th because it wasn't sent using the name "MPFunds" and I skipped it. They added additional rules to the account that stipulated a 2% risk SL per instrument within 2 minutes in that email.
2. They deducted the profit and let me trade again after rejecting the payout, however, this time, the SL I set at around 0.6% was hit during a news event and that's a breach. Apparently, I needed to close the trade 2m before the event because of the SL rule (can't remove the SL).

I guess I should have gone for the swing account (and read all my emails even if they seem like spam).

Their 7 days to payout is actually after 7 business days and their business days are from Mon-Thurs. So, let's say if your first trade is on a Thurs Aug 15th, you'll only be able to request a payout on Aug 28th (15, 19-22, 26, 27 are the business days).

Process is a bit slow. Phase 1 to Phase 2 took 2 business days for the account to be created.
Phase 2 to funded took 3 business days. Process is not automated. You'll have to sign a PDF and send it back through email.

Trading conditions:
1. Didn't experience slippages on XAUUSD, DAX, NAS, DOW, USDJPY.
2. Spreads for XAUUSD was very good at about 6 throughout the day. Spreads for indices were among the higher ones that I've experienced so far. Forex spreads were decent with a 3/round trip comission.

Looks like a scam with so many rules. You cannot remove SL and then you need to monitor news maybe also orange news to close your trades. Additional rules usually are red flag if they are provided individually or only because of your success in obtaining a payout on funded account. I would not trust them. Thanks for this report.

Well, they are looking out for ways not to pay for sure. I was only trading 2 lots for forex and 0.5 for gold there. Max drawdown never went above 0.35% and yet all profit was forfeited due to the 2% SL rule (everything is gone even if you miss 1 SL). Looking at the recent reviews at trustpilot, seems like I'm not the only one caught by it (I haven't submitted my review yet).

It's strange that you have success on MFFU and not Topstep. Both have daily loss, so is the scaling plan + consistency during eval (anti yolo defense shield) the issue?

Hi montygoldy,

Thank you for that reply. Did you find TopStop-X to reflect the true futures market prices & the trades commissions free? If so, why did you move to Tradovate? Was it because you are more familiar with the Tradovate platform? Thank you again for sharing.
