I got an email from 5%ers only today, announcing that they're open to US-residents and have a Youtube video giving details.

I'm surprised to hear about FTMO. I just checked their website a moment ago and it still says "FTMO does not provide services to the following categories of individuals or entities: Persons (both nationals and residents) from Iran, Syria, Myanmar, North Korea, and the United States of America".

Are they just slow to update their website?

{quote} In a hurry. Yes, somehow. To be completely honest, I've been trying for 10-15 years to find a way to earn a certain minimum income from trading, but somehow I'm not getting anywhere and it's impossible to find effective help on how to realistically achieve this. I'm increasingly getting the impression that it's simply almost impossible unless you start out as a millionaire. All these prop firms, whether CFD or futures, also give me the impression that they are not interested in traders who really want to earn a living from it, but rather...
Well, if you have been trying for 10-15 years, IMO, Darwinex is your best bet....what's another 2-3 years?
Atleast their interest is aligned with trader, unlike the props (which I totally agree 100% with you)
Props you just use them for what they are, they are like the little slut, darwinex you can marry

Thanks very much!

I’m really amazed they don’t announce this on FTMO’s own site, and indeed that their map of accepted countries still shows the U.S. "blacked out"!

{quote} big account sizes have a high cost to entry but a low bar to make a lot of money. Not good at all for beginners. small account sizes have a low cost to entry but a high bar to make a little money. Difficult for beginners, yet.. achievable. so, for the average Joe - a 25k apex account is a good idea. But you have to be real about it. You're just a scalper. Just trade 1 micro on Nasdaq and see if you can make $100. If you can consistently do that - get a 2nd account and copy trade.. you'll be making 1k a week. Just be real. Trading is a psychology...
- and no account size (demo account) is best for beginners to start with and train until they get advanced and then do same in small real accounts and increase from here by getting your way better and better.

So, FTMO looks like actually Metatrader 5, not the "Platform 5" other props were offering.
Yes, their wording is careful and concise, which to me is a good thing as I'm sure they have done their homework.
5ers% offering CTrader? In the US?.....I wasn't even able to use CTrader with Tradersway back in 2014.

I don't think I can continue like this for many more years. I feel brutally burned out and exhausted, and I'm not getting any younger. At 50, I don't need to make a living from trading anymore. With Darwinex, it seems anything but certain that I'll be able to generate a steady income from it at some point. I've already posted the statistics showing how few people have managed to do that there so far, and many of these Darwins have been around for 7+ years.

My Darwin account will probably be created on Monday, and then we'll see what the results will be at the end of September. It'll probably be a long time before gold is even open for investors to make money. To me, this seems more like an improved savings account, but I have no idea whether I can live off it.

How long did it take that one guy who allegedly received 1.8 Millions from APEX, anyone knows? Probably not a 15 years. I see all these people (kids) claiming to make thousands to millions from trading, while some of them not even traded for 2-3 years. What I’m missing? Maybe just some lucky gamblers. Maybe the „steady and slow path“ trying to achieve an actual income from trading under reasonable risk just isn’t the way to go. I really don’t know anymore but it’s somewhat frustrating. I don’t even really like the „trading process“ anymore. I mean what did it help me do far? Nothing instead of having spent a vast amount of time with it and feel burned out. If you can’t even make enough money to support a basic living from trading (no Lambo lifestyle) what does that all help? You don’t do anything good for the world either trying to extract some money out of other people’s pockets by trading the markets and I am light years away from beeing able to donate millions to charity from all my trading returns or giving back anything. It’s demotivating, boring, lonely like that.

you miss that in payouts in props is a lot of fake maybe and you take information's serious that no one can ever verify! so don't take such information's serious, you play mindfuck games and will burn out ! dont compare to something that can be total fake.. .compare to something you really know (thats is you! or whatever you can verify). trading is easy if you do it easy!, but is hard if you do it hard. learn difference between both and choose the way wisely.

platform 5 was metaquotes demanding prop to write that. They change recently back to being relaxed because cftc is demolished.
ctrader making a push now for market share because metaquotes had something happen i wont write publicly for fear i will be murdered.
