Yes, I am comparing to the futures space, where several firms have very quick payouts. KYC Interview? So the 5ers goes beyond just uploading docs?

Yes, I will put something together (in detail) over the weekend. It's pretty simple and basic, but there are some moving parts.

Can you trade your account with the 5ers during that 5-8 day window? If not, definitely a no go for me, thats' 25-40% of your trading month. With technology today allowing payments in under an hour, sometimes minutes, with many firms, 5-8 days is ...

Oh, it's 2%? Yes I knew about the re-entry just wasn't sure of the time frame. I risk about 0.8% in stage 1 and cut it in half stage 2 and funded....and I always apply it to the current max loss...so if an account is in DD, it's not 0.4% of the ...

I am in stage 1 of a Hola Prime 2-step prime account, up about 5%. As far as I understand, no more than 1% risk on a trade "idea" meaning multiple entiries and/or closing and re-opening again within an alloted time and must place a SL. Must have ...

Yes, the futures I get. In his post though he says this A/B model is better than any futures prop model. I would think if FTMO and the 5%ers were using it, they'd advertsie it? To me, it's an enormous selling point.

Running some numbers on the direct funded futures accounts....smaller accounts blow away the larger ones due to 2 factors 1. The profit goal to max loss 2. The % you can actually take vs. what you made. They lure you with the price per DD to make it ...

Very true....first off, you must look at what your max losses and conditions are ONCE FUNDED. The two step (99%) give you 10% max loss and 5% daily losss STATIC. The one-step generally gives 6% max and 3% daily trailing....so after passing, that is ...

Yes, that consistency rule verifies the "we make money when you make money" aspect of the prop model.


So many freaking things to limit you/make you fail....trailing DD, consistency rules, payout caps. The ROI still works vs. personal ...Prop Firm Hub 2.0

Great points, as the number 1 point to look for is ROI required on your max DD. Less variance in obtaining a smaller target is also a very valid point. Same reason I use TPT 25Ks....$1500 target w/$1500 DD vs. 3K w/2K on 50K. On the 50Ks, I look for ...
