If you as a trader are soliciting for money from people in the street , yes , you require some form of licensing
BUT the prop’s themselves are looking for people to trade their money , the other way around ,and that makes the big difference

Unlike futures/CFD’s/Forex prop’s , prop stock trading requires you to pass some exams to be able to join

{quote} Prop firm CEO {image} TRANdy: Where do I sign up? The math looks good
Damn, yes , the math looks good , let’s look at the 100K 2 phase , only $350 for a $10K drawdown, 90% profit split , only 7%, 5% profit target

the better the math looks , the more cautious you have to be , so an inverse correlation

A ponzi doomed to fail from the start

. "This prop firm is the worst i have seen… They denied me 3 payouts: 1. 7.8k denied i modified my SL 23 seconds after i opened my trade, gotta thank ctrader and their quicktrade function, even tho this rule doesnt make no sense. 2. 11.5k denied because i modified my TP during an all day red folder "jackson hole symposium" which didnt even affect no trading pair at all, then they put emphasis on risk management, how should a trader protect themselves if you put these dumb...

These are the size of payouts you can expect ftom FTMO but why would you expect that kind of payouts from a prop firm with this kind of traffic ( down there with your beloved Bespoke) which translates into fees received ????
40 times less traffic than FTMO …. Just use some common sense , my boy

As I said I made a lot of money from those props. They turned to be worse just recently a few months ago. Before they did payouts with no issues. Do not forget that.
My net result in total, is €70000 payouts net from prop firms. And net €50000 from my hedge fund remote trading activity I got. So in total here €120000. That's it.
I am out of the prop firm game ! This last payout request I get or not it does not matter. I do not want to put any further money into buying challenges anymore. Good luck to anyone else ! It is a Ponzi game and all the newer prop firms got after some 6 months huge problems to operate properly further. Only headaches you can get from those. Also regulation will come early 2025, so do not expect it will be much better. It will be more expensive very probably to join any prop firm then. Cheers.

I never tested them but Quant Tekel is a red flag when they have this min duration rule. It's enough 1 single mistake out of 100 trades to fck up everything. And we are humans, we're not machines. Mistakes happen.

For the All day, I avoid trading those instruments. Tomorrow with CPI Germany it's one of those days. No EURUSD, no EURGBP.... I play on the safe side.

The no SL it depends on if the trader never had SL or just once. They say it's not mandatory but it's advised, which is what most of the props say. I tend to include SLs in most of the orders, though not in all.

I'm still milking them and it's still worthwhile. I just don't concentrate my portfolio in a single prop and keep accounts up to 200K and payouts low, 4 figures low or medium. Even in more shady props like Alpha or FXIFY.
By the way, for those interested, I received yesterday the payout from Fintokei. Approval took about 8 hours and I could go back to trading after approval. Bank wire came today, as well as the fee refund.

I noticed, though, that they charged about 15 USD for the transfer. I'm not going to complain about that but I think it's a rip off (cheaper, though, than crypto which is way more expensive).

Are they pretty strict in evaluation. Their FAQ seems to be scary (ofcourse one cannot YOLO on 1 or 2 trades) but still.....Do they have automatic moving of phases or like audacity where they manually review each stage and takes 3 business days to analyze

I fail to understand why people move away from FTMO, FXIFY and 5 ers.

Less rules to pass evaluation.

And as long as one aims less than 5 to 6 % monthly in Funded, no problems with them.

Well, I finally received my email about the funded migration. They'll only migrate if I agree to wipe away all profits due to changing my SL 17s after the trade was placed, violating their 15s rule. I don't think they had the rule in place at that time (somewhere early August) but I have no evidence. Thinking of just ignoring it and forfeiting the account rather than dealing with their bullshit.
The accumulated payout was from end June.

Because they are maxed out . 5ers and FTMO together only 500K of allocation but you can't get 5-6% out of them they will ban you for too aggressive trading so you need more capital. If you add blueberry, think capital, audacity, fintokai, instantfunding etc you will have around 2 million of max funding take 1% monthly from all these firms they won't ban you and milk them on background like capa is doing.
Also if firm is new it is great opportunity to jump compare it with fasttrackfunding. For those how were early adopters milk them but those who waited for confirmation before jumping in got screwed. Of course one needs to play with houses money to do these kind of things.

5 to 6 % is not so aggressive IMO.

If you ask me, I will spread out like this.

2x100 FTMO 10k payout max
2X100 FXIFY 10 k payout max
1X100 5ers. 5 k payout max.

If not, aim 3 % monthly, that means 9k.

Take 9k each month and work on it for 6 months.

Then open personal account

Agree but compare it with this things.
Add 10 firms withdraw 500$ to 1K each firm which one do you think is easier and chances of denied payouts?
Do you think making 10K in 2-3 firms easier than 10K in 10 firms?
How about tomorrow FTMO comes and ban canada?
How about periods of drawdown?
Which one will be under radar 10K from 3 firms or 500-1000$ on 10 firms.

I can't reply about that because my phase 1 and 2 usually take weeks and plenty of trades so I guess they won't bother me about not having enough stuff to decide.

Moving from phase 1 to 2 was automatic. After completing phase 2 I received an email congratulating me (I think 1 or 2 hours after) and the link for KYC. Less than an hour after doing it I received funded credentials. So it was pretty fast.

I didn't know about that Audacity. I'm still in phase 1.

Because there's still a lot of cows to be milked in this field. And because if one cow dies, I still get milk from the others.

With many firms to do evals and or funded, how do you manage all ?

I remember cablej was saying once, that he trades maximum 2 to 3 accounts at a time, and then after making certain % profit, he moves to next firm.
