Hi hayseed - we're still playing with the numbers - it's mainly a function of the risk vs. return. Would a model like this interest you?

Quoting KiwiOz
There are TWO major draw-backs to ALL of these schemes. Trading hours are 7PM 4PM EST (New York Time). All positions must be closed before 4PM EST and during major news events Believe me. I know first hand. If traders were allowed to keep trades open until targets are hit regardless of NEWS announcements & holding over night & weekends, money could be made to the benefit of traders & Prop Co's alike. These rules are designed solely for the prop' Co's. No trader can win long term with these rules. It's just a ploy to keep the traders paying to keep...
Hi KiwiOz. Thank you for your feedback.
We disagree with "These rules are designed solely for the prop' Co's." Keeping positions open during big news events can lead to losses far exceeding the limits because of price gaps. Of course this is possible also at other times, but one can only try to minimize the risk not eliminate it. A good intra-day trader can certainly make money within the daily limits and rules.

Good day trading (the 1st in the competition and my first time using the Actual Traders platform which is pretty straight forward). So far, and I understand this is just the first day but the experience has been positive.

We would like to inform our traders about the possibility of increased volatility and therefore increased risk on the EUR pairs on Friday 21st of April and Monday 24th of April due to French vote.

“Exit polls will be released prior to the market open on Sunday, April 23rd 2017 and there is increased risk of wide spreads and price gaps on the market open and through the night. Please ensure you are comfortable with the exposure on your open positions leading into the market close on Friday, April 21st 2017.” – LMAX

Happy weekend!

If I can encourage anyone looking at trading FX and that is to get a job and work and save and deposit into you own account and never give it to anyone. I have tried many and there is a slim chance with the ridiculous parameters more so as there is in day trading, period. The only account I have withdrawn my own money is from my own account. I think these schemes are designed to get deposits to fund their own accounts. Think about it. At 100 people depositing a year in these silly things, they will be able to enter the market with large amounts of money. These prop schemes popping up everyday should be banned by regulators and money returned to people, because they act like ponzi schemes. There is a chance of a few making it and getting some $, but in the long term the chance is lowered in doing it consistent, without giving your earnings back to them.

Read the CFTC on FOREX fraud. It states

Sometimes they even offer lucrative employment opportunities in forex trading.
Do these deals sound too good to be true? Unfortunately, they are, and investors need to be on guard against these scams. They may look like a new sophisticated form of investment opportunity, but in reality they are the same old trap—financial fraud in fancy garb.

Saving money and opening ones own account with a reputable broker can be a very good idea. However, not all traders have the discipline required to make and consistently keep their profits if solely "reporting" to themselves. A good prop firm will act as the risk manager along with providing good trading conditions and can thus add great value on top of providing necessary capital.
With regards to your second post which (again) seems to pretty directly insinuate that we are running some kind of fraud - will not dignify this with an answer. I'ts pretty clear by now to everyone reading this thread that your experiences with prop firms including us are bad. Everyone can judge for themselves why this is so.

That's my opinion. The success rate in prop day trading is maybe 2 % at best,coupled with rediculous conditions, so theses trader schemes make are making tons of money off deposits

I am just warning people to do their homework and also offering my experience. At this point I would not label these things as firms. Firms have regulaed bodies

Another Solid day trading on Actual traders platform. I am really enjoying working with Actual traders.

I agree with Mr. Kanerva that trading (not just prop trading) is a dream job

Actually, the trial and competition is 15 calender's days, not trading days. Guess I didn't realize that. So I will see how the competition plays out but I certainly see myself continuing with Actual traders.

"I am having a bad run. It feels like whatever I do it will go wrong. I have been here before like many traders. I blame the markets, fake news, low volatility and myself. It doesnt help or make my day any better. Markets dont have emotions, neither should I."

Every trader has bad days and every trader should have a plan for these days. Mika Kanerva, our Head of Trading shares his personal experience and his thoughts in his newest Blog post. You can read the full article here.
