From what I know, the A/B model is less applicable for the prop-industry. Either you are a regulated broker, or you are not. That hybrid approach is not sustainable. Moreover, I've witnessed a huge number of affiliate-based prop firms that are using the prop activity to channel leads to their brokerage. That is smart on their side, but I'm not sure that it matches the clients intention upon sign-up. A depositing lead for a broker is usually valued at $1,400-$1,800, which means that they are getting "hot off the press" prop-traders whom are hungry for success and has a bigger conversion potential, for 10% of that price or less.. Just check if any broker reached out to you following your registration/purchase with one of them and you'll know exactly which ones to look-out from.

{quote} Yes, the futures I get. In his post though he says this A/B model is better than any futures prop model. I would think if FTMO and the 5%ers were using it, they'd advertsie it? To me, it's an enormous selling point.
excuse me, Maybee I am stupid and dumpf, but why I should care about the a or b as long as I get my requested payout.

{quote} You didn't say what you trade, CFDs or futures. I'm not familiar with CFD prop firms, but among futures prop firms it's worth considering Lucid Trading, Tradeify, Topstep, My Funded Futures, Alpha Futures, and Take Profit Trader (if you're comfortable with intraday trading). These firms do pay out and generally have fairly reasonable rules.
And how about to trade forex in lucid trading and how much is the split in 25k funded account in lucidflex.

Well, those are minis (or full?) and will kill 25k acc for sure. Would need 150k acc.
MFFU has micro currency futures?

But the person asking those questions here ... I start to think that props should do some tests before handing out an account. But at the same time it is not in their best interest.

You are right about that bigger account needed.
Actually APEX( I don't trade with them and not recommend) did it, its mandatory to complete a course but they don't force it or make exam in the end.
Don't know about MFFU but second prop(Tradeify) I am funded has only 2

M6E is essentially the same as trading 6E or EUR/USD (but obviously at $1.25 per tick instead of $6.25 per tick or $10 per pip).

But in my experience, M6A isn’t at all the same as trading 6A or AUS/USD, though, because of significant differences in liquidity and the order-book.

To bad about the rule changes at TradeDay. Just when you start really liking a prop firm.... they go and change the rules. I guess that's just the way this industry is. I understand that they have to make adjustments to stay in business. I still have three accounts with them but when the jig is up with those is guess I'm looking for a new firm.

Really? Which rule changes are you referring to? (They can’t change them retrospectively, surely?).

No, they are still honoring the old accounts. The changes are pretty big, though. They were the simplest, most straightforward way to a Live account. They were also the best at paying fast once you cleared the buffer..... and paying any amount you requested on an 80/20 split. All of that is gone now. They are no better than Apex now.... but you can only trade 3 accounts in the Funded Sim (Apex allows 20 accounts). I'm not seeing what their calling card is now. I might be switching back to Apex. I definitely would except for that Daily Loss Limit that Apex has. Oh well, I guess Trade Day was losing to much and had to change things up.

Apex 20 accounts are useless, you run up a balance ask 1st payout, they say no and put you on a live account with 3000$ DD that never arrives.
People are waiting live account 1-2 months and still waiting...

Yes. Before anyone thinking of using Apex again, please read Trustpilot and do a search in X and Reddit. Looks horrible. It ain´t the same company it used to be.
I have traded Apex but it was few yars ago. Now I don´t even consider it.

{quote} The striking difference, there, although I appreciate that you're unaware of it yourself, might be that "Hola" is becoming well-known for paying people by the post for favourable forum and review-site recommendations. Even I (with little experience) know a couple of people who were offered such arrangements by them. Things like that can easily give people a mistaken impression of your motivation. My guess is that "Hola" has problems - as some prop firms do, now - getting customers by other, more conventional means.
I just suffered a 400 point spike on WTI with Hola Prime that stopped me out. Utter BS and not one of the other 9 feeds Ive checked has anything even remotely. similar.

Ive complained, so will let everyone know what happens but I wont be trading with them in future on this basis.
