19th for US, but it will be postponed again.

13 for Canada but it will likely be postponed until CFTC is resolved.

{quote} So far so good and I have been laudatory about them… until today. Banned for no justifiable reason except that they claim I was rude with their support team… Allô?! I keep naively waiting for more explanations {image}
Out of curiosity, were your account in profit the moment they banned your account? Was it a funded or challenge account? And what was the size of the account?

Would be a buzzkill if they banned your account when you were close to hitting your profit target. Tho I am still tempted to get a challenge from them, considering not many gd firms left once you cross out all US and Canada firms.

Plenty of time for the business model to die off out of regulator inspired fear. CFTC wins again, GOOD traders lose again. LET'S GO USA!!!!!!!!!

I think its postponed from MFF side. I am sure CFTC wants it done fast and for max penalty without contest but I can't see how they don't get the opposite.

Hi Tovip,

Not even but let me give you some context.
Before burning my account in August partly for external factors leading to lack of monitoring, I had made some sound earnings in July with them from a large account with 90/10 payout ratio.
I had since been trying in vain to subscribe for new challenge. I never thought there was any other reason than a technical issue so I wanted to check with another email address. I could finally proceed and pay for the new challenge but before even having a chance to log in my new MT5 account, I received a notification for breach of rule and immediately after the confirmation they proceeded to the refund of the challenge.
Needless to say there never were insults or whatever inappropriate in our communication.
Really strange.
I used to be indecisive but now I'm not so sure...

11 + 4 (net) in one month (paid on biweekly basis).

Labor day was the 4th, so first day of the case was the 5th. I can see filings pretty promptly after that. Perhaps he forgot it was labor day.

Yeah, I've left almost every Telegram prop firm "review" group because they are almost all paid shills and biased. You can only talk good about the firms that pay them, and as soon as a prop firm stops paying they become taboo to talk about. And you can't talk negative (even backed with facts and proof) of any prop firms that pay the monthly advertising or the comments get deleted or you get banned. Forums like this are much better.

For those playing at home. There is a bit of an apocalypse going on. If you have access to semrush if you are tracking prop firm keywords and data. This is what it looks like for the US which is ~30% of the market. These are daily figures. Why am I not touching props right now? First, the CFTC might have other cases behind the MFF one and my opinion is that some other companies have significantly worse things on their plate to deal with - I am looking at you Angelo Caramelos. Secondly, I don't think many will stay solvent if this apocalypse of traffic...

The SEC tried to engineer 2 FUD bank runs @ Binance in the last 2 years via law suits hoping they would collapse like FTX.

None of the FX youtuber's I see are pushing prop affiliate links right now... One of the other big north American props (TFT, MFFX, Surge, E8) stops paying and the next round of social media coverage will immediately start along with more ammunition for the CFTC.

Angelo's mad rush to state everywhere that everything is simulated & virtual on top of opening his big mouth publicly discussing in past interviews purposely altering 8cap's slippage parameters is probably coming back to bite him in the ass.

I don't know. I think that the blow hard egos of these kids is problematic but i am not sure whether or not its illegal. Affiliates etc best be careful, but most of them are scammers to start with so any attention is unwanted but mostly the failure to see that virtual funds vs live funds is not the actual issue here is a vital error because there is no coming back from the changes they have made. By saying profits and funds are virtual it basically means that you are not allowed to a-book trades otherwise you are being deceptive. It sounds stupid, but thats basically their own kneecapping now. It would have been smarter to change only when things played out with MFF but instead the knee jerking and now ftmo suing TFT. There is going to be a prop firm cemetery.
