FTMO stopped using LMAX because they sucked. Spreads were atrocious. They have their own aggregate feed of LPs, there is no broker the accounts are held with. TBH, their spreads are better than ANY broker I've ever used. Under 1 on GBPAUD and GBPCAD. ...

Wow, had never heard of buoytrade. So white label of FTMO, there is a evaluation before challenge and verification, but cost is less than half?? They have shown proof through trade receipts? Very interesting.

Were they winning trades? Did you have an EA running, perhaps? very easy to go into the log and see how, when, where, ip address, etc. of who opens and closes a trade. I know brokers don't buy that "my platform just randomly opened up a bunch of ...

Yes, those are probably the one's with the highest affiliate commissions. I think the best way to evaluate these firms is exactly what Mastermind is doing.....real world experiences from folks using them.

Oh, Thank God you are back. Thread was losing it's popularity without you. Are you sure FTMO doesn't pay you to post?

Best deal out there if they pay. They seem to be having trouble paying a few hundred to some people. What happens when that first 20K split hits?

Exactly, once your fee is refunded, you have 0 skin in the game. Worst case scenario, if you blow the funded account, is the loss of time and effort as you need to start over. Which is big, don't get me wrong there. Keep in mind, once funded, there ...

I believe your "track record" account can be broker of your choice.

And that's exactly the marketing mastery, I am talking about....you need to apply the % gain to the the available drawdown as this is what will limit the size of your trades. As recently as a month ago, I was absolutely 100% convinced as well until ...

I don't recommend anyone until we see 6months- 1 year of efficient payouts. As one experienced trader recently stated, it's not losing the fee, it's losing the time and effort to pass the stages to get to the funded account.

I was going to post the same exact thoughts. You probably have a good 2-3 years before you are ready for anything like this.

It's an aggregate feed of LPs. I trade 5 brokers side by side myself, all offshore though, and I see this as well. Not saying it's correct, but I know that's the answer you're going to receive. As a former US trader myself, the most shocking thing ...

As a funded FTMO trader, my next conquest is Enfoid. Everything in these deals is the fee vs allowable loss, forget about the great scaling plan for a minute. It's very clever marketing that can fool even the best math minds INITIALLY. I'm telling ...

I never trade non-farm payroll day anyway. Combine it with a holiday weekend, definitely a no go for me.

Well, if you're experiencing it today, it is due to those instruments being closed for the holiday. I've never had an issue trading indices.

Yes, this one is charging $300 for $200 in DD. What a steal! I can put $300 in a personal account, trade larger positions than I could with them and NOT GIVE THEM 50%! The scaling is the marketing trickery as even when you scale, DD is still 4%. By ...

Yes, 200K, passed two separate challenges so far. I trade FTMO alongside my personal accounts. Fees have been refunded, it's just extra money at this point. My personal success or failure (or anyone else for that matter) is irrelevant as to the ...
