{quote} There is no reason to be aggressive like you do in your last post. I wanted to be always polite and shared my view. But let me know (!) once you got a criminal record and you cannot relocate to other countries because you get caught in a live prop investment ponzi like scheme and got fined from government/state lawyers. Helpful then.

Everytime we see a rug pull and the CEO is buying and posting a Lambo car on Insta, we wonder why that CEO has not go to jail for 20 years or do not need to pay back all his profits ? Because it is still wild wild west and there is no proper regulation. It will certainly come we all know and sooner than later. So maybe you can expect to hear a lot of jailtime stories in 2025 then, when prop firms get caught on illegal activities and need to pay big fines because of that incoming regulation. Wake up (!).

I am not so sure as you but if you can sleep better with it, then it is yours. You are not a retail consumer at a prop firm. You are contracted as independent trader, kind of self employed because I needed to register here as being self employed giving signals to a prop firm where I get provision. As long as it is all a game nobody asks, but when trading real money on live accounts, the situation is changing. And then you do not have the same rights like a retail consumer buying a good and that's it. No.

He has no fears he's just a narcissist with a god complex.

He was also saying that a trader at Darwinex Zero won't be offered any third party investment capital unless they have a job in the industry and a relevant university degree. In other words, after earning 3-5% for 12 months straight at DZero and reaching the Gold level, DZero will be like sorry mate, no investor capital because you dont work for Goldman Sachs and don't have a degree in Economics from Harvard. Sorry we never mentioned that on our site or in any of our videos. But hey, thanks for your subscription fees.

Just ignore this BOZO. He has no idea what he is talking about

It is not so my opinion I know this from facts and experiences I made in the past. Second, you can definitely expect the futures prop will going down a lot in their favor, when you as trader needs to pay professional data fees. You cannot be treated like a retail consumer because you have a contract as indepedent trader at a prop firm, so I would be very surprised in an upcoming regulation from CME or CFTC whatever if the futures prop trader do not need to pay big fees and maybe per account/firm.

Also as long as you ask your lawyer it is an opinion what you get. But if you needed to register in reality with the authorities in your country then this is true knowledge and based on facts. This is what I have based on my working & self employed experiences. So I am not talking about a random lawyer opinion here. Talking about facts.

You still did not get it really. But since you in Africa maybe you can make jokes with the police in your country. Here in Germany they are so awaken you can get suspected very easily for nothing. Second. It is much harder when you need to register. You get controlled every year from the authorities (here Bafin) without a date and they come in two persons and they look at your record keeping and etc. They decide within 20 minutes about your whole future. If you get a lifetime ban you cannot work in the financial industry hired or self employed, it does not matter, anymore and probably you cannot relocate or travel anymore too since you have a criminal record shortly after they visited you (unasked). My record keeping was fine at that time but I sweat a lot, because I knew they can decide about your future in minutes!

  • Oct 28, 2024 6:56pm Oct 28, 2024 6:56pm
And the consequences having a criminal record are even harder. You cannot have any job anymore. So when you need money and need your 9to5 job you can forget it with such a serious criminal record. You get immediately fired when you have a job. So if you cannot live lifetime from your savings then and try to trade personally on an offshore broker it will get difficult when the public government aid is not too much. And I think in Africa you do not much money when you have no job and no money at all or ? And the worst is you cannot be self employed in your expertise anymore too. No financial industry anymore. The conseqences are much harder you think.

first off i ain t in africa, i specifically put that there for people like u..second, i knew that Baffin is german regulator of financial services, insurence firms and banks. what were they doing at ur place lol? first time i hear something like that. u get criminal record only for repeated offences or grave 1s, embezzelment etc..also if u have millions in taxes u didn t pay, which is evasion etc...also what ur talking about it s a white collar crime, maybe u won t be hired at a bank anymore but for sure u can sell bread or work constructions as poor examples...u can also relocate and do whatever the heck u want pretty much except getting a job in the field where u commited the so called crime/// dude, get ur facts straight...and talk about facts, not ur opinions///
u know how i knew u talk out of ur...? almost every good accounting firm accross EU has a lawyer on retainer specialised in taxes and financial gains. Moreover, it s clear that u have no clue about the classes and exams an accountant takes to get the degree, is almost identical to a lawyer to a certain degree!
i won t entertain this BS anymore bud cos it s clear 2 me u r just gonna keep trying to spin things around just to save face, but i m interested in cold harsh facts, not make beliefs. Also, when u go to a lawyer u don t ask what s ur opinion, u ask what is the law and where do i fit in? the way u describe Germany u make it worse then Russia or China...regardless> i wish u good luck in ur future endevours. cheers

Dont listen to him, he has no clue

I have been a futures prop trader in my younger years , we had traders from all over Europe on our desk , never heard that there was 1 trader in my firm or in any other firm that was required to have a license

Here is what a real futures prop firm ( where the money you make comes from the markets you trade and not from fees paid for challenges ) like ApterosTrading in the USA answered me in an email

-Generally speaking, licensing and registration requirements may vary, depending on country.

For US traders that are acting as investment advisor or managing a fund, other people's money and/or executing trades on behalf of others for a fee or percentage of profits etc., then some requirements may be necessary.

Whether or not you need to register with the state, the SEC, the NFA et al. may depend on the type of trading, the clients' asset classes and/or amount of AUM involved etc..

What may be required and what is actually enforced may be two, different things. I would not rely on what a remote prop firm tells you.

One of latest 1 star reviews from a German regarding Quant Tekel. Not looking good really. Too bad for me probably. I did not get any email so far.

"This prop firm is the worst i have seen…
This prop firm is the worst i have seen in my 4 years trading.
They started normally, then slowly started to degrade.
I thought at first that they would be a normal prop firm, they had no weird rules, just the usual, so i gave it a try since they had a 50% discount. (they still have a 50% discount constantly since opening, which is very weird but makes all sense now)

These issues came up:

1. The first issue was when they said that a group of malicious traders were abusing their system and they introduce this rule:
you can edit your TP or SL only within 15 sec after you open your trade or after 2 minutes, and if you violated this rule it would've counted as a soft breach and forfeited all profits, like literally all profits, and you had to wait 2 weeks to get your account reset.

2) The second issue started when they had to migrate because metatrader banned their company for weird activity and im not even surprised (even tho they migrated multiple times already before that).
They promised everyone a smooth and quick migration and they couldnt even keep their word, it took way longer and everybody was angry and complaining.
And just like everybody i was also annoyed and complained.
The Co Founder, Alex, is a childish person and very unprofessional, he got mad and started banning people randomly.
He then told to one of his staff members to ban me after i reach payout because of "defamation".

Well he thought i wasn't going to reach payout but i got to the top of the leaderboard and obviously he noticed and came out with some excuse saying that i was gambling since i didnt have no SL even tho that is not against the rules, then he came up with some stupid excuse and just refused to pay me.

They denied me 3 payouts:

1. 7.8k denied i modified my SL 23 seconds after i opened my trade, gotta thank ctrader and their quicktrade function, even tho this rule doesnt make no sense.
2. 11.5k denied because i modified my TP during an all day red folder "jackson hole symposium" which didnt even affect no trading pair at all, then they put emphasis on risk management, how should a trader protect themselves if you put these dumb rules?
3. 20k denied because i did not use any SL, which is NOT against rules, but Alex in front of everybody came up with some stupid excuse (something that is not even inside the rules) saying oh i held over the weekend and i had triple swaps bla bla, the triple swaps were positive swaps for GBPJPY, i was 800 pips in profit and i was monitoring my trades.

Quick summary of things:
1. The Co-Founder Alex is childish he has a group of monkeys who get a couple of smaller payouts here and there but they surely blow more money thats why they are liked in there.
2. They will find any type of excuse just to deny your payout, honest traders get punished, these rules are made to make you fail but you can clearly see even if you respect every rule, you will get denied.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PROP FIRM

spend a little more money and go to trusted propfirms like FTMO.
