i was reminiscing of the old days of the naïve quickly & karl tag team enthusiastically singing the praises of futures prop firms & their more ethical business models, while also evangelizing the saintly ways of topstep. The hyper growth from the US trader stampede from cfd to futures props is long over. The race to the bottom with aggressive sales to protect market share + new plan rollouts to limit payouts are here... we have all seen this movie before on the cfd side after the MFF takedown throughout 2024. When the growth is flat/down... the...
Yes, just like the CFD side, consolidation and a few will survive.......choose wisely.

Something definitely has to change with the current unsustainable business model. This would piss off the gamblers/account churners but I think a way to solve this could be...

Let traders get payouts back to breakeven on their total eval costs + up to an additional 10-25K... from that point onwards, you can continue to get payouts, but only if your total lifetime profits remain more than your total funded drawdown blown. I think that would eliminate all the gambler/yolo/high risk types that play the prop game by burning through hundreds of accounts to get their payouts. It should incentivize more responsible trading behavior similar to darwinex since you wouldn't want to blow accounts... Which would then open up a new revenue stream for the props by making the data monetizable.

I May have to purchase some direct before they disappear, seems to me to be the better plan.

To withdraw 3k from 150k Direct, need to profit 9k before losing 6k
To withdraw 3k from 150k Pro, need to profit 16.6k before losing 4.5k as I understand it.

I didn't even notice the add on. I rarely pay attention to anything.

So if I eventually go to live, I still get paid on the same account, right?

Seems like Lucid is taking their time paying out. The last week, it took 4-5 minutes from approval to payout. This time round it's over 18 hours.

The last time, I requested EOD Friday and got it immediately. Seen some traders haven't been paid since Friday. Hope it's not a symptom. Remember FundingTicks taking longer to payout a few months back.

Welcome to Prop Firm Hub 2.0!!! Over the past 5+ years, the prop firm space has evolved quite significantly. It has reached a point where I and many others felt the need for a new, revamped discussion on the subject. For those that have been around the entire time, FTMO, although not the originators of the space, quickly grew to be the largest. To this day, they are still considered the standard of excellence in the forex prop firm world. We also witnessed the birth My Forex Funds and when they introduced a similar 2 step challenge to FTMO, with...

only one rule 40% consistency and above threshold. No minimum trading days plus if you make 5K on 50K you can withdraw 3K.

I doubt many prop firms will enable this feature.
In practice, most prop firms do not prioritize trader ergonomics or flexibility.


traders already can achieve much of the same flexibility without this vendor feature.
Instead of relying on a prop firm to enable fungibility, you can:

  1. Trade multiples of micro contracts instead of minis.
  2. Build position size incrementally (e.g., 2, 3, 4 micros) to mirror any effective mini size you need.
  3. Scale in and scale out with granular control — because each micro contract represents 1/10th exposure of the mini.

In other words, the functional benefits of fungibility — finer-grained position adjustment and risk scaling — are already achievable with micro contracts.

Success = Practice + Patience + Persistence

EVERY YEAR I LEARNED MY LESSONS AND IMPROVED

2023 unprofitable
2024 - 130k but spent way too much
2025 - nearly 600k but cost is also in 6 figures and lost funded accounts way fast n could not hold accounts after a payout
2026 - hoping to keep the cost below 25k for the year to target 800k and build and hold accounts longer. Right now i have few firm accounts i am holding since october with nice buffer. Going to continue this trend. I have already things in place like dll and dpt same which helps with longevity of the accounts

Will start posting more details here.. right posting it in x account
