JFC, you cant be serious. Read back what you wrote...think about it. No offense but that reasoning is off the chart insanity. There's no justification in rationalizing the patently absurd.
-I think that maybe you misunderstand me. I am not saying that traders should be stupid or that stupidity should be allowed. Obviously, what that guy was doing was probably very stupid. I am saying, that, regardless of what traders are doing, FTMO should not be imposing rules that are not clearly defined.

Stupidity may be subjective, especially in terms of trading. If you want to prohibit stupidity, then you must clearly define what stupidity means. It is not unreasonable to think this way, because I can assure you, what I consider to be very stupid, someone else may consider to be not stupid at all.

Since we are talking about risk, specifically lot sizes, then not only should it be easy for FTMO to clarify this matter, but it should be imperative for them to do so since they give no indication that such limits even exist in the first place, yet seem to be imposing them on selective traders.

{quote} Hi Mate, pls what do you think of all those prop firms using 8cap and thinkmarket? i like the propfirm that have their own liquidity different from brokers that individual traders have accounts with.
we should stick to :

MFF, FTMO, TFF.

Nothing more.

600k + 400 k + 400 k.

Enough.

Intraday only.

their challenges have time limits

If they offered no time limit then it could work like that. But if a prop firm believes I will continue trading a strategy with strict time constraints once I'm funded and have no further time limits, they must be crazy.

{quote} We would expect pricing to be according with some "reliability and usage" ranking. In that sense MFF (and FTMO) should be the most expensive and incumbents should be the cheapest. The interesting thing is that MFFx is still an incumbent and is one of the most expensive props. Or, looking in a different perspective, MFF is the leader and is the cheaper of all around (maybe only losing to Finotive, I'm not sure)
Actually MyFunded is the same or cheaper than MFF for 50K 100K and 200K

{quote}-Thanks for sharing. I took a quick look at them this morning. Perhaps this could be another option to add to my list of potentials. A few things that I noticed: 1. Leverage for indices is 5:1. It's doable, but something that may be worth noting for traders here. 2. Prices are a littler higher, given that you must pay more for basic options that should probably already be included (just my opinion). Then there is this, in their T&C: "You are also prohibited from using any trading strategy that is expressly prohibited by Prime Intermarket...
Thanks for pointing it out. Good to know

As it seems "Prime Intermarket Group Eurasia LTD" is a name of the legal entity "operating as FXPIG"
whereas "Alchemy Prime Ltd is the payment agent for FXPIG. Both Alchemy Prime Ltd and FXPIG are part of the same group of companies under common ownership and operate independently of each other."

Both is stated at the bottom of the FXPig homepage

-Yeah, probably, it would be easy to quickly find out from their discord if FXPIG is any good, or at least how it compares to other brokers.

Obviously! That's a rule made for or by someone that understands zero about trading.

Not only we can be much more conservatives without the time pressure, but we can also change strategy if market conditions change.

If this is to avoid scripts then they should mention that this is not applicable to manual trading.

The shady guys of BeSpoke also have this rule.

-Regarding TFF, this sort of blanket-protective clause is what the legal world might consider applicable to the Unfair Contract Terms Directive and/or my be deemed an unconscionable or abusive contract; whereas the contract terms are so severely one-sided and unfair, that the contract is deemed unenforceable under the law.

Whether or not such abusive terms could be leveraged as a way to get your fee-money back is another matter, but that's what credit cards are for. Certainly, such abusive practices may incur heavy regulatory penalties, which could be enough of a platform to negotiate from if someone were so inclined to try.

I cannot speak with certainty regarding European law, obviously, but I do know that many countries, including the U.S. and the European Union, have protective laws in place for this sort of thing.

{quote} well, MFF would have compensated
In the same weekend E8 had a similar problem and we could see radical different posture. They assumed the mistake, apologized for that, worked around the clock to sort this out, kept updating Telegram group multiple times a day until they corrected all the mess.

I don't know if E8 will survive, if the CEO was a good trader or not, if he is good or bad manager, it doesn't matter. What I saw was, facing an identical problem, a completely different posture from these guys from TFF.

And in the past MFF also had problems and always addressed that.

TFF is paying, as far as I'm concerned, but if we ever need their ethics we will be screwed.

Yep, in most European countries you may write whatever absurd you want in a contract but, if that's contrary to law or abusive, courts can declare one or more clausules as invalid.
