As I copy to all accounts simultaneously (assuming the copy servise works without issues) I can compare how each account performs in terms of the profit (or loss) made on each particular trade

Would be if I traded more than XAU and SP500. Based on those 2 instruments only

I currently trade:
1. MFF is the best by far (despite the worse connectivity to Discord servers)
2. BFP comes second
3. MFFX third but it's close

I don't trade anymore:
4. TFF I guess comparable to BFP and MFFX, but I never traded them in the same time
5. E8 the second worst from those I tried (w/ commissions and even w/o)
6. TFTP the worst (by far)

I haven't traded FTMO (via Duplikium)

Is #4 supposed to be TFF? Who is BFP? I not only do not use a copier, but for the most part do not even trade the same instruments on the same day in more than one firm. This would be some very interesting data.

Hello,

I have bootcamp and instant funding accounts with The5%ers too. Connected to "FivePercentOnline-Real" Server.

Where do you see Eightcap?

Thanks for this despite I don't trade precisely XAU and SPX in props

Would be really great to have this for forex. Never had interest in copiers but this specific feature would be nice to have. I'll put it on my list, maybe one day I'll investigate it.

Btw, I see you're with BFP. Have you achieved funded ? Any payout so far ? The prop group has been having claims everyday about delays in providing credentials, processing KYC, replying to emails, tickets and processing payouts. They built credibility because they are owned by the guys running the prop firm group but, apparently, either they grew to fast or are not as serious as people thought.

TWE are not doing a great work selling themselves. Their site doesn't explain clearly that some of the features can be customized when purchasing the challenge, specially the trailing max loss vs absolute max loss. I would not have known about it if it wasn't you mentioning it here.

Besides, their mention hard and soft rules in main page and then in FAQs I can't find definition of both. I suspect what is it but this should be clear. Maybe it's there, somewhere, but the site doesn't do a good job having that clearly stated.
It's easy to lose focus when investigating them in their own site. I abandoned my research regarding them already twice. When I can't get my answers replied in the site I tend to skip it.

ok so for the 5ers I need more people telling that they use now eightcap

I have a broken arm, if some of you can be so gentle to send and email too them and ask about it, much better

so we can know what is going on, if only the high stake had this change, or if they use their own liquidity as always.

You seem to confuse them with BigPip Funding. This is Bespoke Funding Program. I'm not aware of any such complains. The only issue I have with them is their CEO is strongly against using DCA by his traders. And DCA is my main trading style So I will see, they may reject me or refuse payment if I pass or whatever. But I'm giving it a try because otherwise they look promising to me

-I can understand that. It took me several weeks and a lot of back-and-forth just to get things clarified via email.

Anyone that is trading in any serious capacity will not only want to know all of the nitty-gritty details, but will need to know.

I suppose, for me, I have given them some leeway since they are still considered a new firm and still finding their footing. I have only done that because I like some of the customization options that they offer, which are not offered elsewhere, as well as how they have presented themselves transparently, making themselves publicly known and reachable. The founder seems pretty genuine and they have come up with some pretty good ideas.

But, like you, I dropped them once already as well, but then changed my mind after they clarified their stance on lot consistency requirements. I am still not trading with them. I eventually may. I eventually may not.

Hi Vitore,

Over the last 3 weeks I have been evaluating several Prop Firms offerings & would like you views on 1. Bespoke Funding Program. 2. E8 Funding. 3. Surge Trader. 4. 5%er's. Please share your personal knowledge on any of these firms you may have used yourself, or knowledge gained from another trader you may know.

I had a strong interest in the %5er's until they switched to Eightcap. Next best for me seems to be Bespoke followed by E8 Funding.

Thank you for taking the time to share your views.

Anyone else willing to share your views on these firms please feel free to do so.

Best trades to all.

Dam it. I only realized now, sorry about that mate.
I saw a couple of payouts from BeSpoke and the CEO is very active in prop group, with very positive posture and absence of claims. Means nothing, of course, but miles away from Big Pip which have both claims and no answers from CEO apart from open a ticket in Discord or send me a DM.

if I can help with my few experience

1. Bespoke no idea, few are using here
2. E8 good spreads, but on indices the worse spreads, good for crypto with weekend trading
3. Surge Trader: eightcap broker, no scaling plan, again, few people using them because other prop better
4. 5ers: better here, recent changes and the new high stake program is interesting. More people says to use them now or going to try them

That's it. When choosing a prop, besides checking payout proofs and reading 1 and 2 stars in Trust pilot and reading Discord, I skim through site to get the basic answers (consistency, news trading, how daily and max loss is calculated, periodicity of payouts, lot size, etc.).

If I'm happy with it that's when I go to T&C and read them all (well, maybe I don't read the data protection stuff).

With TWE I abandoned them when reading their site. They could be more clear.

Hi Ace,

I never used Surge Trader or 5%er's so can only comment on the first two. Also my view would be quite specific as I only trade XAU and SP which has much more diverse trading conditions among prop firms than fx pairs I would say.

E8 - looks and feels as from a whole different world compared to any other prop firm I used. Their dashboard is the absolute top, no one else comes close imho. The ordering, payment and payout processes are super easy, fast and smooth. They also offer the shortest duration to the first payout. You can pass both phases in a few minutes (they keep the list of records on their pages) and the first payout follows within 8 days. New account creation is instant. You pay, click the menu item, and the account is there. You finish the phase, confirmation is instant, the account is there. So far there's no one to compete with them in all this.
Until you start trading. Their costs (of trading gold and indices) are super high. Annoyingly high. So much so that they offered a no-commission month promo action recently but even then they are the second most expensive prop firm. This is the reason I'm not trading with them any longer.

BFP - I trade with them for a couple of days only. It's another 8cap firm with a smooth and cheap order execution so far. Everything else that I think about them comes from the public sources (mainly their Discord, Telegram and web pages plus a couple of Telegram prop firm channels) so you can better make your own opinion.

I hope it helps

Let me just add something about E8. What Vitore said is totally right but on costs I would distinguish it depending on what you trade.

For indexes and XAU I believe they are horrible (I don't trade it in props but there's a lot of people complaining about costs and execution).

For forex they are not the cheapest but not too worse, anyway. They have a different way of charging commission (it's 0.005% based on USD value of the trade). Today this gives aprox. 5.50 USD per lot in EURUSD for example.
Their have a little bit of execution slipage on things like 4 or 5 lots EURUSD but not dramatic. Somethng like 0.2 or 0.3. Spreads are decent.

I don't known if they will go on growing but something I see is that they seem quite proactive in listening and solving problems.
Dylan (CEO) and George (Operation) are very active in the prop group and with very positive posture. They has serious glitches last week and they worked quite a lot to solve them fast. In the meantime they kept community informed about it, not hiding anything about the catastrophe.
On that chapter I see them as MFF was in the beginning when they had a lot of troubles after Funding Talent colapse.

I don't see the same in Angelo (TFT). And if we pick TFF then it's even worse (besides being a company that doesn't communicate at all, they also had glitches last week and sent the email that we saw here saying that they have nothing to do with that).
Maybe E8 will fail, who knows, but in what concerns to interacting to traders, addressing problems, communicating correctly and being humble E8 is top.

Hi Forexbali, Capablanx & Vitore,

A big thank you to each of you for those informative responses. I will be trading only Forex pairs. From my research I have narrowed down my choices to E8 Funding & the 5%er's, but Bespoke is still being somewhat considered. Had a phone conversation with one of E8's Reps & was very impressed with the response to my questions. Going to decide which it will be in the next two weeks. Will post my progress as I progress along the way.

Best of trade to each of you.
