Wow. That's a pretty shady clause in the fine print. These are the firms (90%+) of them that give the entire industry a bad name. It also explains why the trolls come to this thread and speak negatively about prop firms in general. Once again, there ...

Just ran the numbers for MFF and FTMO vs the 5%ers. This is taking your initial fee and assuming rate of return against allowable DD ONLY in each program, not the "balance" provided. MFF $979 fee for 24K in DD, need 16K profit stage 1 and 10K profit ...

Fees are definitely PART of the income stream. For 90% of these firms, I'm sure it is the only income stream. IMO, FTMO and MFF are also executing in some way, shape or form, either making money from good traders or simply on volume from the LP's ...

Great MM strategy. I have expressed many times the risk per trade must be based on allowed loss. So, of course, in a personal account, it's the entire account. So with a risk of ruin of say, 20 losers in a row, you can risk 5%. With the prop firm, ...

That is an absolute perfect ranking Koop. 100% agree. Although, as Expo found out DT4X is a bit sneaky in their scaling. Basically, to sum it up in one sentence, unless you are doing an eval/challenge, you really don't need a prop firm.

I haven't chimed in on this subject for awhile, as I do not like the arguments that arise, but those models are completely useless. Either do a challenge and get 20x the DD for your fee or put the money in a personal account and don't give up 50% ...

Me too. IMO, manual trading is far superior. If you know what you are doing, of course.

I would get on discord and see if an administrator can assist. IMO, MFF too good of an opportunity to leave for what should be able to be resolved fairly easily if you get the correct assistance.

How can they expect people to join when they just flat out didn't pay a bunch of traders? I don't know which seems less intelligent......FT trying to continue after screwing everyone or the idiots that are still going to join them.

So, I can either work from home and keep 85-90% of my profits or I can a. move closer to a real prop firm, so my commute is only an hour or so each way b. obtain a degree in finance c. apply for and secure a job d. have to trade under whatever ...

Great point Davit. Pivots work best in ranging markets with lower ranging pairs. System is designed to take trades between R61-100 and S61-100 and of course can also trade from WPP into those zones. What I'd like to point out is one of the rules, ...

Only clicked on a few. Sure looks like I'll have quite a commute vs. what I have now. Is there a filter we could apply with "work from home in your underwear"?

So he's been with MFF for three months and been denied every payout. I've been with MFF 3 months and NEVER been denied a payout. What do you think the difference is ?

It is dreamy, lol. They are just numbers, of course, one must execute. I use those numbers as I feel they are pretty realistic goals while still keeping DD low enough where you don't even concern yourself with "how close" you are to the limit.

Funniest part on the last review is "on second day I was more attentive to drawdown so I only came within $67". Max DD in a day should be 1% and then shut 'er down. These people are just flirting with disaster. With the kind of capital these firms ...
