{quote} So allocations are based on indexing your trades by Darwinex algo but when it comes to investors, they can say hey Darwinex, I want to throw x amount on this guy, please hook me up and then it's done? so, 1.66% in one year enters gold? Sounds so easy.
Yep, investors can see your Darwin and join anytime separate from the Darwinex allocations you are trading. IT DOES sound easy but currently there are 7,266 Siver traders (1057 in the money) yet only 199 Gold traders and only 70 are in the money this late in the month. Gold doesnt use a 'rating' its just a 'Percent Earned' free for all. Only 70 people in Gold have earned over 0.78% and the month is almost done. It shows how hard it is for most people to maintain consistency. All it takes is 2% a month without suffering a dip so bad you could never exceed the High-Water-Mark and earn commissions again.

Thats when you see HOF systems stop trading. They take a monthly loss so big its not worth grinding the account to profitability again vs starting from scratch. So consistency and risk-management are the only tools required to open the floodgates. Your 1.66% would earn you a 65,000 allocation for 6-months right now in gold, 2% even more. (and with only 4 trading days to go GLCB will gets 100's of thousands even if he doesnt win the 1st place 500K 6-month allocation)

Right now I just want to appease the rating metrics.
My main strategy is to keep the dd low, ie 1% and let the equity in the account grow even if slowly.
I'm looking to make 1X max dd first. Then 2X max dd and 3X so forth.

Whatever way that effects the rating, I like to see and I think it will work favorably.

I know it is not % gain centered which most traders go for but a big and ever widening gap between max dd and a growing equity is my main focus. Hoping the rest comes with this.

I asked the question on x about where to get 3 m of funding. Turns out despite there being 5 billion props choosing safely who to get funded with is very difficult.

one kid got upset when I said no to fundednext. No interest in being accused of copy trading when I am not. Or matching IPs when that’s impossible. But the same goes for many of the other big names. What this proves is that lots of people even if they get paid do so without retaining the account. To achieve my goal of 1m from 700 spend I need to be able to hold accounts for a few months whilst gathering others.

it shows an serious problem in the industry because with so many options and some spare cash it’s still hard to actually get funding, virtual or not and the difficulty doesn’t come from the trading.

I have the same problem, that's why I collect DZero accounts. Was thinking of Blueberry 200k because of the firms location, tough Indices 10:1 leverage is terrible for challenge phase, for funded would do. If you trade mostly forex maybe it is good to add.

I think I will move from prop to something like zulutrade with some of the profit from my payout. See if that is a better route as my model I am using for the experiment is consistent. But being realistic, if the calculation is correct, any major traction will kill my alpha due to volume exposure. If say 15 million leveraged was following the trade most likely some of the followers will get slipped very badly.

{quote} Monty are u full funded with MFFU?
My total prop portfolio

1. Mffu - 50k x 3 (funded)
2. Topstep 50k x 5 (funded)
3. Tradeify 50k x 7 (evals)
4. Takeprofitrader 50 x 5 (eval)

will try apex 50k x 20 on nfp friday…

Goal for this year is to build maximum accounts and aim 200-300 a day following on @pip footsteps….

one thing i have learnt from past few months 50k is the best no need to go with any bigger account. Pass it quickly and spend time on building drawdown there.

From my understanding these zulu systems just open a proportional trade on someones account. So lets say I buy 10 lots of Dow, then all the followers will also open a proportional trade on their account at the same time. Leading to huge volume entering dow as each account likely has leverage 1:25 or higher. This means some of the followers will likely get slippage as dow is not a wildly liquid asset on single price.

You can probably still find 100K in total DD out there, but 300K in total DD from reputable props seems damn near impossible on the FX side of the business these days.

The 150Ks are almost as easy to pass via the report yolo method with non daily limit props. Outside of that pass/fail in <2 min method... the >50K accounts never really made any sense to me due to their higher target to DD ratios. The extra time waisted trying to pass could have been otherwise spent building the 50K DD into a 150/250/300K DD.

Even some of the bigger names have history of banning profitable traders for no reason so I am going to try to make a tier 2 list as well, which would put me at about 1.5-1.8 tier 1 then the rest will have to be risky.

How you can trust such social copy platforms like Zulu, when they can see your trades and reengineer your strategy in no time and then your little alpha is already lost. Second easily they can also do not pay you anything trading 0.01 lots with minimum account and then cloud copy to their own bigger accounts to avoid profit sharing!

Exactly i did that many times when i tired 150k... Passing them is one thing but need to pass the threshold as well to get the payout which means bigger daily targets to get to on average 10 days payout..... Higher chance of failure...

Instead go with 50k --> average 200-300 a day in same 10 days period eligible for a payout.....

One thing that is important is GETTING TO A FIRST PAYOUT....... after that its a smooth ride if you know what you doing.....

hey guys,

I have few questions on Apex SIM account.


1) Accidentally, if the open trade ( s ) loss goes above 30 % and i did not take loss what happens ? I mean if floating loss goes above 750 when Profit earned is 2.5k

2) And i see that 1 : 5 ratio in any trades.

Assume that my open trade loss goes above 500 $ , but all trades turn into my side and i make profit, but less than 100 $. And assume that i could close in profit for just 90 $

What happens in this case ?
Intraday only.
