@Trader-IT -- great story -- thanks! Unfortunately (or fortunately) my dancing days are over -- but I passed my moves on to my son and daughter... I'm a child of rock'n roll (and my ear drums will confirm that).

@Trader-IT -- what kind of music are you listening to?

@Koop -- thanks. Yes -- of course, you're right. Why worry about weekends if you can't hold trades overnight. I was curious whether others had similar concerns. Setting aside the actual limits, since prop firms have well-defined rules then I've ...

FTMO - For serious traders

Interesting posts and comments -- I'm still (always) learning... I have a question for FTMO or anyone else who cares to advise... I've been exploring different prop traders and currently trading with one. I trade algorithmically -- 28 pairs using ...

@Smaidel -- check again. @aeseme's last post was January 13, 2020 -- just before the pandemic lockdowns started... image

"My generation has what it has, thanks to our grandparents and our parents, who have allowed us (until now) to support ourselves, to live or survive well." @Trader-IT -- Yes, we stand on the shoulders of giants...

Another benefit to prop trading that I rarely see mentioned is for US traders. As a US ciitizen the pickings are pretty slim when it comes to non-US brokers that will accept US clients. There are a few that will accept US clients, but they are ...

@OutThere -- dude -- it's called MARKETING. The @the5ers is a company. They are in business to make money. To make money they need customers. To attract customers they need to promote features they think will attract customers. Business 101 -- no, ...

@OutThere -- sounds to me like you are still trying to convice yourself. It's all good -- you don't have to enroll -- it's optional...

Your reminder that things are not always as simple as they look is so typical of many of your postings. You muddy the waters with details irrelevant to the main discussion that leave people scratching their head. And then follow that with a ...

@profitfarmer -- you lost me, though not for the first time... If two people have a conceptual disagreement from the 30000-foot view, introducing additional ground-level details doesn't help. As for things aren't always as simple as they look -- ...

Okay -- good. True -- I cannot trade them the same. And that's because until now I've been more aggressive and going for profit, whereas that wouldn't work well with a prop account because I have to stay within the rules. But as long as I recognize ...

Look it -- you're over thinking it. Two accounts -- one funded with 6K and one funded with $275. I'm trading both with the same strategy. The same strategy. In the worst case my strategy goes on a losing streak and drops $240. Both accounts drop ...

@OutThere -- I appreciate your softened tone, but either you don't get it or I don't get your point. You are not happy that "U can't touch this" -- meaning, you can't do whatever you want with the 6K. But it's their 6K. Yes -- there are strings ...

@OutThere -- did you remember to choose the red pill?

The5ers - Trading & Growth Program

"Well, that's so negative. Why would I lose $240? Maybe I will make $240." Of course -- and you might make a lot more. What I said was "worst case scenario". Suppose I trade a specific strategy -- the strategy has no clue whether I'm trading my own ...

Look it -- I get that @the5ers is a business and their goal is to make money. That's fine and that's how it should be. But the fact they want to make money doesn't necessarily mean they want me to lose money. Yes, yes -- of course -- there are ...

The5ers - Trading & Growth Program

@OutThere -- exactly. And if I have 100K of my own funds then I also don't need @the5ers. For some reason you don't grasp the concept that this is all about conservatively growing an account much larger than what you can currently get your hands on. ...

The5ers - Trading & Growth Program

@OutThere -- let me put it another way, because I don't think my above post will sink in. I'll pose it as a question: Option #1: You trade your own 1K account and in the worst case you lose $240 USD. Option #2: You trade someone else's 6K account ...

@OutThere -- though you addressed Trader-IT I can't resist adding my 2 cents. I think you've got it totally discombobulated and can't get past your notion there is something bad lurking in the background. Your statement claiming they are looking for ...
