{quote} that is Quantower on Rithmic feed ? with a REAL prop firm like Apterostrading , Sierracharts with their own Denaili feed , is by far the most popular , if you dont need the advanced charting of Sierra , Ninja and EdgeProX are the other favourites
It's dxfeed. Seems to be new and used by prop firms.

But Rithmic is crap for me as well. Guess that's what happens when you live in country with no Rithmic server located there.

Will check out the options you stated when it's time to move on. Thanks.

Alpha Capital Groups unbelievable buisiness practices.

Hello my dear Traders , I would like to share my terrible experience with ACG as soon as I passed Phase 1&2.

Upon passing I received an email where I was told that I wont get an funded account because " You CLEARLY used prohibited trading strategies to exploit our price feed.

My Account Balance was at 54.800 out of 55.000 at the time i placed those "manipulative orders". These Trades were actually the last trades of my Account to pass the challenge. 3x 1 Lots on EurUsd and 4x 1 Lots on GbpUsd

Ive opened different positions in the same manner , no problem there because they were 5 lots? But as soon as u open a couple 1 Lot orders its Manipulative?

Ive traded a total of 780 Lots on that account , 140 total trades and those orders are the reason they terminated my Account.

What I do not like with MFFU is their scaling plan.

Not at all looking good.

MFFU payouts are very fast and also the path for live funded account [brokerage one] is well planned.

my hands are limited to trade just 5 micros or 1 mni.

I can not even make 1 additional entry.

IMO, They should allow in SIM account also to trade 3 minis or 30 micros which is allowed for evals
Intraday only.

That hidden rule from ACG is ridiculous only designed to failure hard earned funded accounts. They should not breach you because of that is my opinion. They 're scam.

Unfortunate for you, but this is clearly stated as a banned trading practice. They probably could've removed the trades and made you trade another day, but they've been looking at ways to avoid funding or paying out recently.
Their reluctance to clearly define their policy on gambling or one-sided betting is worse. They'll cite it and reduce your payout and terminate your account or deny you a funded account. Should have a clearly stated "You are allowed to only risk X% on a trade. No equity drawdowns after this point is allowed, even if it recovers and doesn't breach the daily drawdown amount."
They were good before but clearly deteriorating for the past few months. Funded accounts were taking 7-10 working days to be issued and payouts were taking 2 working days to be approved.

It isn't hidden, though. They've put it there for a couple of months now but it was vague, if I remember correctly. Not sure when they added the details as the page seems to have been updated recently:

I do not agree with that, it is still a hidden rule, because there is too much room for interpretation left. Maybe it is kind of half hidden rule, but still hidden kind of.

"Example of Order Book Spamming:
A trader entering multiple orders (e.g., 0.1 lots) in a short period instead of placing a single order with all the intended buying power (e.g., 1 lot). This activity can be seen as an attempt to manipulate the price feed in a simulated environment."

So they say you cannot replace 1 lot with 10 0.1 lot orders. But they do not say you cannot even replace 2 lots with 1 lot size each or in that above example of a breach that 3 lots replaced through 3 times 1 lot orders is already a breach. If they have clear internal rules hear, they should publish them too, otherwise the rule stays hidden.

Also what does short period of time mean here ? If you add 1 lot after 5 minutes or after 1 hour is that also as a short time period considered ? Or is that only considered as short time when a bigger or any payout is requested, or they do not want to issue a funded account at all ? It seems they will interprete it each time different, regarding of the outcome from traders perspective. You cannot trust those prop firms who has such rules. It is all the time questionable how strict they are.

The best is they have a contradictory rule of Stacking, which is explicitly allowed. How does it match with the other above rule, which is prohibited ? Too funny.

"Stacking is also allowed and is classified as having 3 or more open trades on the same instrument. This means you can concurrently have multiple positions in the same direction on the same asset." https://help.alphacapitalgroup.uk/en...g-and-stacking

So you can open 3 or more trades on the same instrument. But in any case you are replacing one bigger lot size with multiple lower lot size, which is always the case with Stacking then you are subject to no order book spamming rule. This is really ridiculous what I meant earlier. You cannot say this and that and then punish traders.

A fresh review that Stacking is not allowed because it is always an attempt to manipulate prices from ACG perspective. This is ridiculous and scammy from ACG prop.

This week, update from broker-backed prop firms for the 50k 1-step account, shows that the best pricing is still held by Blueberry Funded (234 USD). No firm offer a static profit target of +6% (except Axi +5% and The Forex Funder Axe +6%). Blueberry Funded still leading the way with -6% static total drawdown. No firm offer a time target 30 days.

-I am curious if the 30% of profits rule will include your available draw-down (or be applied post-safety net), because if it doesn't, then this is an absolutely terrible rule. It's going to force people to over-trade in the beginning and potentially push people out of consistency. Hopefully, this will be better-explained in the interview.

Edit: It is not explained better in the interview. We need clarification on this.

Well they have strict consistency rule. Each trading day should be alteast 23% of highest trading day and need atleast 10 trading days so you are looking around 1 month payout window.

If common sense prevails it has to be above threshold otherwise whats the point let say if I make 100$ on first trading day I can loose only 30$ per trade on following day which is insane.

Safety net.
Again unclear - You can't risk more than 30% of your starting profits for the day on one trade

I didn't understand those
- 6th withdrawal, 100% available -> What does it mean ?
- Safety net required—only profits above buffer can be requested. -> wasn't this already the case since the beginning ?

Let's see what comes up from this:
- Program to track MAE (Maximum Adverse Excursion) vs. realized profits.
It can be bad if wrongly implemented.
