Doesn't matter if FTT guy is joking or not, a CEO should never joke about denied payouts. That's sacred ground. This guy seems a complete idiot.

I can't understand why people are still purchasing FTT accounts given the circumstances.

Got my payout from Apex today, I'll get evaluation from MFFU for now. Apex 3.0 no longer value for money.

Got my first 30K allocation (Nov) locked in today. Also earned it with a gain enough to need only 2% Dec gain for another 30K but I'm gonna let my EA rip all month and be careful during the third month. Today, I paused trading once I crossed the 75.00 mark to lock in my first 30K award since allocations aren’t awarded until the first day of next month. Still letting the robot run so gonna be interesting to see where it lands EOM. Darwinex seems to like my robot and is generally rating it as 'safe' despite using a limited-martingale recovery strategy....
Why would you think anyone would object to a martingale recovery strategy if it works?
There is nothing illegal about it. It's based on mathematics after all.
Only those who don't know how martingale works are in objection of it.
They say it all the time; 'I used it and lost everything'.
Yes, they shouldn't have used it and please never again.
You know how to use it, kudos.

I guess Darwinex understands and takes it as just another strategy like they should.

Most prop-likes run away on martingale to fail accounts rather that judge the raw performance. I cut losers short even though I use martingale sizing at times. Glad Darwinex evaluates algo performance instead of violating the method.

Don't attack me - posted by Trader Tom on his Telegram channels and he gives permission to share.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH THIS INFORMATION?

I have had a conversation with an individual who works for a “funded challenge" company. I promised 100% anonymity, and I will respect that.

This is what the individual told. I ask you to ponder on this and contemplate what to do with this information:

1/ The funded company claims their clients are trading real money. That is not the case.

2/ The company takes in about $25,000,000 a year in fees paid from challengers.

3/ The company use tactics to ensure that only 1.5% of all users of the challenges go on to trade on a real account. In other words, 1 to 2 people per hundred will get funding.

4/ The company works with social media influencers and help them edit their trades and their profiles to ensure they appear profitable.

5/ Of the 1-2% who receives a funded account, these accounts are now a liability to the funded company, as they are still trading a B-book account, although it appears it is a real account.

6/ The company pays out no more than about $1.5-2m a year to people who make money on their funded accounts.

Point 3 is achieved through the use of price spikes that will stop traders out, even though it is not reflected in the real market. These are marginal differences and will often be undetected. There is no way to complain, because it is not a regulated industry, and challengers are trading on demo accounts.

Point 4 is achieved by recording videos in “replay mode”, and the underperforming trades are edited out professionally. The individual told me that one of the most prolific YouTubers is on their payroll, portraying himself as a successful trader with an impeccable track record. The reality is that he has never passed a challenge, and he serves only as a tool for the marketing funnel for said company.

Assimilate this, if you wish.
It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.

This is fantastic info, actually. What we all know is going on, some points for sure, some points we always suspected anyway.
The influencers being on payroll is amazing.
Is this an fx prop or futures?

Probably a prop owned by one of those 2 guys in post #43,602
But I really like to know who the influencer is.
Not that I watch any but it'd be good to know how they act and talk while being up to eyeballs corrupt.

Hmmm..I do remember getting pumlled talking negatively about props..
Times have changed I guess.
Meantime, hayseed said a few days back that he never met a prop he didn't like.
So, maybe props are like martingale that if you know, you know.

Not surprised. Replay mode as is described is severely illegal.

Takisd may validate this but I have many doubts about point 5 (1-2% who receives a funded account) and 6 ($1.5-2m a year payouts, out of 25m revenenue). Seems too good (for the company) to be true.

This is 100% correct.

Could only be one or those Prop Firms who have their own Metatrader platform. Sounds suspiciously like 5%ers
but could be Fundednext or FTMO.

Yes, even though we knew how they worked.....as long as they paid, most (not all) were a good value and allowed for better returns than a personal account.
2020-2022/early 23 were great.
We always knew profitable traders getting paid were a liability to the firm on the balance sheet, really no different than 99% of brokers who are counter-party to your trade (forex, not futures).
Fast forward to today, with all of the rules to avoid payout plus all of the straight up payout denials.....no good anymore.
