I bought a challenge from The Trading Pit, the 10.k for 70euro
why not FMTO because the challenge is unlimit not 14 days like FMTO
I see this as a test, i use a new setup with stop loss instead off hedging
looks OK in backtesting, let's see How it works

Not clear to me why these firms r hurting their business by going against us authority. If cfds or certain leverage or certain instruments r not permitted for USA clients then isn't it possible to offer two different packages for USA n non USA clients. When a USA client want to join they will get USA permitted trading environment n other clients wiil get normal one.

As USA has big client base so no one want to miss them, so why it's so difficult to offer USA clients as per USA authority

{quote} Once you have been approved for a visa, UAE law dictates that individuals need to reside in Dubai for one day every 180 days to maintain a tax-free residency and to keep your residency visa valid.
You will still be fiscal resident in Germany, UK, France, Spain, Italy, etc. if you only live 1 day in Dubai.
You may have zero taxes in Dubai but you will be heavily taxed at home on that income.

{quote} So this is the biggest reason I like tradeday over all others that I have looked at, keeping in mind that I am not claiming to have looked at all of them as I am sure I am not even aware of the existence of many of them: Tradeday, in my opinion, absolutely offers a funded account, not an arcade style "funded sim" to those who pass the evaluations. There is initially a choice available for the trader to go to funded sim before going funded live, and tradeday will pay the trader the first $5000 in funded sim profits out of their own pocket...
You say that you believe you are live in TradeDay because you are charged the exchange fee. Don't be tricked by that. Top Step did it in the past when I audited my trades in CME.
TradeDay is likely to be a trading game, just as the others, charging a monthly fee or a lifetime fee.
Besides, most of them charge the one life fee because they know a monthly fee is bad for the business. They charge more than one month lifetime because they know statistically how long the account survives and it's likely less than 1.5 months. So they charge that upfront and pocket the difference not paid to CME (and other exchanges) when the trader blows up.

But don't take my word for it. Check the CME log and see for yourself if your trades are going through the exchange.

Besides, you admit yourself that they keep you sim trading in the beginning until who know when.

You are very wrong.1 is the rule in Dubai and 2 must to the rule in another country. You must to se the rules of Germany, UK, France, Spain, Italy. You can stay maximum 6 months. So you need 2 days in Dubai per year and 2 another country to stay. But that 2 country not be in Shengen zone.

Just to let you know that Blue is still paying. And this is my first payout through Rise (Riseworks) so let's see how it goes. The money was credit in Rise about 36h after I requested the payout to Blue. Now I made a small withdraw from Rise to a crypto self custody wallet to see if this goes well (I don't want to risk withdrawing all the money without testing so I know I will be wasting withdraw fees just for this test). The process of withdrawing to crypto is very straight forward in Rise. We just register the address of the wallet. Tthey allow...
Quick update on Rise. The withdraw was processed still yesterday (and not in the next business day).
In the meantime I withdraw the remaining money and I got it already in my crypto wallet as well.

So, despite I was afraid of Rise because of what I read here, to me, personally, this worked 5 stars. Extremely satisfied with them.

For people withdrawing in crypto I suggest they do that at an hour when the gas cost is cheap.

{quote} Hi Takisd; I trust you are well. Please could you confirm whether the Axi-Select Program could also be subject to the current turbulence? The reason I enquired is I signed up at the time when your first precautionary to suspend any further challenges was received. I didn't fund the account & was almost done with funding so their system is constantly triggering those generic mailers prompting to complete funding the trading account. I suspected this program different since it is with a registered "normal" broker but wish to clarify with you...
Hi Des,

I dont know anything about them other than its Axi and Axi is a well known, large company. My understanding is that the offering is bad but if you can make it work it should be ok.

I have known Goran for many years from Axi and I cannot say that I have a huge amount of faith in the honesty of any of his (or what were his at least) products. Most of the old guard of Axi have moved to Blueberry markets with Dean Hyde.

If you are eligible perhaps take a look at Oanda or Hantec's offerings as both of those companies have a solid financial backing - providing the conditions meet your needs.

It’s really much simpler than that, Capa.

All you need to do is briefly enter an order far from the current price and watch it immediately show up in the exchange’s DoM. Either it does, or it doesn’t.

It really is as simple as that, because unlike CFDs it’s a transparent, honest market.

That’s just untrue.

TradeDay lets the customer choose: you can stay on sim or trade live from day 1, whichever you prefer.

Again, it’s transparent and verifiable and honest.

When you’re live, TradeDay can make money only if you make money. It’s exactly the opposite of forex brokers: TradeDay use a real, actual broker and they want and need you to win. It’s a genuine partnership. You’re not trading against your own "broker".

For some reason, this forum’s members seem to have difficulty understanding this concept.

I don’t know why so many people choose to make it so difficult for themselves and continue doing business with crooks, in dishonest markets, when they don’t need to at all, regardless of their nationality and location.

Maybe they’re just so used to dealing with crooks, frauds and scammers in the murky, mostly unregulated CFD world that they just don’t appreciate that there are also honest, transparent markets available?!

Maybe they imagine there’ll somehow be a lot more to learn, to trade futures(?!), and they don’t realize that if they can trade forex profitably, then they can already trade futures profitably?

I'm sure all the CFD "brokers" and CFD "prop firms" are hugely grateful for how widespread all the misunderstandings are!

Hi Takisd;

Thank You for taking the time & trouble to reply to my enquiry, I am much obliged.

The information you included serves to confirm that I won't exert further energy into the program. Meeting their performance metric is something I can do without effort but the underlying challenges you so graciously outlined doesn't inspire any confidence in longevity with them.

I will continue to work on the remaining challenges whilst they remain open looking out for your correspondence once you're satisfied that "normality", whatever that word means in this business segment has returned.

Until then, I will remain out of the market for new challenges & thank you once again for the selfless effort with creating awareness.

Wishing you & everyone on the thread a pleasant day ahead & May The Markets Go With You

You can’t help people who are so absolutely determined not to be helped.

In the wider world of trading, they’re obviously a small minority.

Here, however, they’re apparently the majority, or at least they’re the ones with the loudest voices, which really easily drown out anyone who tries to offer fact rather than (biased) opinion.

As we’ve seen over the last few months, some people with real experience, qualifications and/or expertise, who actually understand the industry, DO actually appear in this thread, one at a time, but inevitably each fairly promptly disappears when they encounter the habitual onslaught of misunderstandings, prejudice and insults.

Hardly an "admission" that they keep you sim trading. Furthermore, they not only do not force you to stay on sim, but if the trader chooses to stay on sim, they then force the trader to go live at $5000 because they do not want to keep paying the trader out of their own pocket. My post was very clear and the fact that you so thoroughly misrepresented what I said can't be other than intentional dishonesty on your part. I don't know what your game is here but I am done with you.

Posting to this thread was really out of my lane here at FF and I regret having done so.

I should have known how this would go:
