Anyone trading with a Prop firm

Hi everyone,

anyone trading with any prop firms. I have been testing 5ers but spread seems to be high and the price can be widely varied from other brokers or tradingview.

I just had a trade open in NZDUSD and the price dropped upto 0.7198 whereas trading view 0.7140+. Moreover, it didn't trigger my stop loss which I set it at 0.7263.

I'm sort of newbie and just want to discuss further.

Thank you.

Well that's why you use tradingview just for your trade confirmation. Entries & exits should be according to spreads and chart of your own broker whichever you're using.

I do as well.

Here is a solid thread with some decent information. The original discussion is somewhat spammy and troll-ridden.

I’ve heard excellent feedback about FXRK from several experienced traders, particularly regarding their trade execution speed, tight spreads, and reliable platform performance. Based on these strong recommendations, I’ve decided to give FXRK a try myself. I’m looking forward to experiencing their service firsthand and seeing if it lives up to its great reputation.”

And now another random guy shows up from Ecuador on another thread and his first and only post is a recommendation for FXRK.

Seems FXRK is sending their minions out to do some free marketing

Yes, I am. Which prop firm are you using? Always interested in hearing others’ experiences.

HI,

I currently am trading with quite a few firms, CFDs and Futures.

They include The5ers (Funded), TopStep(Funded), Apex(Funded), Get Leverage(Funded), FTMO (Challenge), Alpha Capital (Challenge) and FundedNext Futures (Challenge) and a few more like BlueGuardian, Finotive Funding...

As you can tell, I have way too many :-) ;-) ;-)

I find the spreads on The5ers really good TBH, not as keen on the over night swaps with them sometimes. But the Spreads are generally pretty good, for me at least :-)

Cheers
Stephen

Hello, that’s a valid concern to bring up. Prop firms often use different liquidity providers, so spreads and price feeds can differ from TradingView, especially during low-liquidity or volatile periods. That said, large deviations and stop-loss behavior should always be clarified with support. Look for firms that publish clear execution rules, spreads, and SL/TP handling (some newer prop firms like Hola Prime emphasize better pricing and transparency for this reason).
As a newbie, you’re doing the right thing by comparing feeds and asking before scaling up.

Since you have experience with both CFDs and Futures, which firm in that list do you think has the best overall conditions?
