Right, I'm still offshore with $$$ split among 4 brokers, but FTMO allows me to trade with that kind of margin without tying up any additional capital on my end. Even when my profits from my live accounts meet my monthly goals, I'll keep using FTMO, ...

The brokers aren't looking for good traders either. Look at it this way, I am trading 200K and going to do another 200K, crypto is at 300K on his way to 400K. Our fees have been refunded with first profit split. We now earn profit every month ...

Not correct. If I take a position and it goes into profit, so I add another position. I must close that first one first (FIFO). I it goes against me and I wish to average in, let's say the second one is in profit and I wish to close only the ...

Exactly, if you can't pass it, don't take the challenge. I have passed 2 FTMO challenges and recently failed 2 with another prop firm. Their model doesn't fit my trading style. As Cryptosurf has mentioned, numerous times now, if FTMO should screen ...

Back from vacation. Have to admit, after passing 2 FTMO challenges, the 5ers model is just like OutThere claimed, you need to adjust your position size to trade as if you have an $800 account. With FTMO and similar, I paid $650 for 100,000 with 10% ...

Yes, this is way tougher than I thought. I am spoiled with 100:1 leverage and 20K drawdown on FTMO. Thought I could just adjust position size. If you see, I actually do pretty well when I trade .50 per pip, but I didn't want to take 10 years of my ...

Is there any way of attaching the Trade Explorer to this thread? I checked in settings it doesn't appear as if it can be done. Anyone know any tricks to make that happen?

Yeah, I wish. I'm only aiming for 3-4% per month. This is all that is needed to turn my $875 into a 1,280,000 trading asset, while along the way, I will pull out 92K in profit splits. Compound and take profit at same time. Trade explorer is up.

Can you point to the post where I ever claimed to be a great trader? Unless you consider 2-3% monthly great? Once again, I will be making returns of 7,10,10,10,10, approx 47% to attain what I said I will do, a far cry from 1175%. Once again, you are ...

Once again, you folks who are anti- prop, simply compare the DD of the prop with the entire 100% balance of the personal account. This is not apples to apples. You are assuming 100% DD is allowed in the personal account. Bottom line is this, I pay ...

Hate to jump in here. It's quite simple though, every 10% they double my account. I thought I already explained this, I only need to earn approx. 47% in 12-14 months. His 52K is withdrawable at that point, I simply will have a 1.28 million dollar ...
