It's really sad to see that MFF is down ( hopefully temporarily). Please share your thoughts/inputs on the alternatives based on the following MFF features. One step evaluation No time limit Profit sharing from the evaluation phase. Daily DD 6% Max DD 12% No restrictions on News trading, EA, Overnight and weekend holding. Leverage 1:100 Max profit split (live account)
One of the prop firms that have conditions almost that good is FundedNext. I struggle between choosing MFF and FundedNext for 2nd Prop account. No other Prop Firm have 12% drawdown (except if you pay extra $ for increase max. drawdown). But as I been there before with Online Poker operator based in US shutdown (Full Tilt), I decided to go with FundedNext.

FundedNext have 2 major differences from all other major Prop firms:
1) is based in Dubai, out of reach for European and American regulators.
2) 15% payout from Challenge phase also turn it very attractive.

As I post yesterday, my only issue with FundedNext is the very restricted rules regarding Copy Trading. But support yesterday already told me that is OK to use Social Trader Tools to copy trades between the accounts I own.

A public person doing a rug pull of this size would get life in prison and be found really easily. MFF is/was a 400m + company.
Do you believe The Prop Trader .au was legit shut down by ASIC or did he flee with the cash?... The CEO there was pretty public.

Funded Next is probably one of the most dangerous props out there with their stupid IP rules.

I've been looking into Israel based 5%ers since I think I'll avoid any NA, UK and EU based props for the time being
from what I've seen the reviews is good, spread is amazing
T&C not as loose as MFF but I think I can get by, since I manual trade, don't copy trade, arbitrage, VPNing or anything like that
I think I'll drop 39$ for the 5K High Stakes account next week to play around
what do you guys think about 5%ers?

that and maybe Dubai based Funded Engineer
In the end its just a stupid numbers game

msg from Dylan E8 = {quote} To address these queries, let me begin by emphasizing that E8 remains exceptionally stable. According to our perspective and the extensive research and opinions of our legal advisors (some of the most reputable in the nation), our actions are fully compliant with the law. We refrain from making predictions about the situation with MFF. Our firm is entirely distinct, and the circumstances involving MFF hold no relevance to our operations. It's noteworthy that MFF is based in Canada, while TPT was Australian, and Funding...
Got a similar email from City Traders Imperium.

I really don't understand how does it make difference? Anyone can go public but shit goes down nothing can help. If government froze company's bank account how does a pubic or private thing matters. I think ASIC was just bluff as they had issues before like once they removed lot size restrictions they went downhill like Funding Talent. One thing that bothers me about MyFF is lack of transparency they should have receive some notice why not make it public also this issue is not going to be resolved soon in near future.

Well they want to capture market like when Funding Talent went down MyFF got most of their clients. Somebody's loss is somebody's gain.

Yes, for all intent and purpose, consider your pending payout and funded account gone. It will be a pleasant surprise if/when you get it back. It is replacement mode time.
They are not going to walk into court, explain how they operate and the judge is going to say, "Oh, OK, all looks good, lift the freeze". That is not at all how this works. That hearing on the 11th is preliminary simply to determine next steps.

{quote} mff placed a message on 25 august about cheaters active with oil trading. And due that mff lost its good position with their liquidity provider (claim of mff). Because this message is couple of days ago it could be related to what is now happening. And what are "cheaters"? Apparently something went on that caused mff to loose trades.
I just read their statement from August 25th now. It doesn't seem very logical why they would think of anything else when they can block the cheaters. It's like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. Moreover, the part at the end of the statement that says, "To the cheaters, expect an email shortly." I wonder if the emails were sent and if they achieved their purpose. How relevant could it be to today's situation if they were sent?

I am based in the UK. Spread Betting/CFD brokers were regulated back in 2018. I only trade indices, leverage for those instruments was lowered to 20:1. Major forex pairs lowered to 30:1 I believe, never traded them.

hmmmm....dated the 29th, yet they were taking $$$$ through the 31st.
Big takeaway....the order expires in 15 days, unless they extend it. So, if they prove no wrong doing, they will be back up rather quickly. However, reading the accusations, they are pretty much guilty of ALL of them.
Another takeaway....atleast we know it's legit and not fabricated by MFF.

I say not related at all. They don't pay cheaters and the LP didn't even pull out, just took them off of preferred pricing.

Agreed and the key thing for me is that its not a fabricated lie / exit scam and yes this will likely take a long time to resolve due to the charges ....

Curious to what the SEC has to say. Need to find their notice as well.

Pretty much every prop firm could be guilty of what they are stating in that notice. MFF got hit because they are within their jurisdiction.

US authorities don't give a shit if they have jurisdiction or not. They just seize shit and let the people try to recover.

At least the Canadian tool got his pronouns squared away.

Yes, it would be even worse if that were the case. I hope they can get out of the scenarios listed in the court report as soon as possible.
