Russian money and all that. remember Meta is russian.
-Yes, which is why I would expect them to care more about money than regulation. Haha.

I suppose the two go hand-in-hand, here.

{quote} The score is nonsense. If you pass the challenge they refund the money. If you don't pass the challenge you lose the money. So...the score is not important. Important is the prop firm to pay...
Have to disagree here.....Let's say 2 challenges cost $500 each..... one gives you 100K with 10% DD and a 90% split, the other gives you 100K with 6% DD and an 80% split. Both have the same targets to pass the challenge
1st offer gives you 9K in available loss for your $500 (10K @90% split)
2nd offer gives you $4800 (6K @80% split).
If the target vs DD is different to pass that factors in as well. The score is all about how that money would perform in a personal account vs. investing that same amount in a challenge.
So, yes, even though the fee may be refunded, the value lies in how much more you get with the prop vs. trading it on your own.
Here is an example as I have a spreadhseet with all of the relevant firms......FTMO....$588 for a 100K, if I put the $588 in a personal account, and hit the same targets of the 2 phases, I will have $1,765, FTMO gives me $8K (10K loss @80%)....5%ers....$1,336 in personal vs. $8K....MFF was $1,060 in personal vs. $9,600...
so FTMO provides $4.53 for every $1, 5%ers gives me $5.99 for every $1 and MFF was $9.62.....do you see why MFF was, by far, heads and shoulders, above them all.
Those direct funding models, where fee is greater than max loss, yield a negative score, you actually lose money by trading with the prop vs. personal

But, yes, the point still remains, if you can't pass, the score is irrelevant
Of course, one must do your due dilligence and get with a firm that pays.....I know you're an MFF hater, but that is a bad example, it WAS NOT MFF who denied payouts or invented BS rules, they were paying large payouts very reliably.

We assume we will be able to pass and that prop will pay, otherwise we would not be spending money there.

Therefore, score is important to compare value for money. A 100k challenge costing 500 USD is much better than costing 5.000 USD. Easy to understand if we exaggerate the example.

If a funding company has on their challenge stages no commision and then on the funded stage have commision what do you think that means and how would it affect the trader?

Final update on my challenges took 5 100k. Lost 4 all based on my super agressive trading style. Cleared bespoke( after trandy incident made me feel different about them) 2nd phase … TAKEAWAYS - props are totally different game so dont trade with the mindset of like your own account. Next steps first i planned to buy ftmo 2x 200k accounts but i am dropping it now coz with same amount i can purchase 600k worth of challenges. Better to take more challenges to get comfortable. so this week plan - buying 200k blue guardian, 200k...
Fundedengineer, FTMO ok.
Intraday only.

Metaquotes puts the squeeze on Thinkmarkets, Purple & Eightcap = Mass prop extinction event

So, for you it's irrelevant if a 100K challenge cost 500 USD or 5.000 USD ?

They have an army of fighters in social media. Minions that will defend them until death.
We saw the same with TPT and FCFX (or whatever that was called)

The moment someone receives a little payout or the time invested and some positive return from whatever it is in life. People will indeed defend that and being totally biased in all aspects in life I noticed. People are dangerous that way tbh. One can learn alot about life in how people act with these prop firms.

I remember a guy called Carrick that was ultra defender of TPT, even when they were denying payout with shady excuses. We could see that TPT was going under.
The guy came back to Telegram and still today says that TPT was a good company and believes in the regulator ASIC fabricated thing.

The funniest thing about all this is the sensible question is : why don't these companies just get a license?

The truth: It takes too long, is too expensive and none of them qualify under the professional knowledge standards. They would have to find people who know better than them to run their company.

I saw already many dumb things but if this is true it's really stupid. MFFx posted TODAY a payout praising trader's performance. Only problem is that this traders was already banned from MFFx. Are they idiots ?
