{quote} Future props' trailing drawdown is designed to make traders fail
Nothing "makes" a trader fail other than their inability to succeed in a given environment.

A 100-yard hurdler doesn't lose because the hurdles "made" him fail. He failed because he couldn't negotiate the hurdles that were part of the race.

You know the rules in advance. If you don't think you can win that game then don't play.

Agreed, like I say, if you know how the game is played, then its not to difficult.

Currently, I have found zero solutions to automate anything with DXTrade. I can't find a way to copy trades from MT5 to DXTrade, and I can't find a way to automate buys/sells directly from TradingView to DXTrade. Since I'm being forced to DXTrade this week with several of my accounts, I'm unsure what to do.
-Not sure if you follow the thread over at babypips, but I recently posted responses from various trade copier services regarding their decisions to implement other trading platforms.

While I did not ask about DXTrade, specifically (I asked about ACT Trader and Trade Locker), two of the responses did sound promising, as it seems that these service providers are very aware of what is happening in this space and are willing and able to provide accommodations for the shift.

I have also seen mention of one or two providers that are already providing (or soon to provide) support for DXTrade, which should allow Meta traders to copy their trades over. All things being said, it may depend on your specific needs.

once you pay the monthly sub or lifetime activation fee, it is parallel with a forex prop pricing without anything close to the value.

Not clear to me then why these firms r hurting their business by going against us authority.
-I think, we must first recognize the possibility that there may not be any clear determination yet, that what some of these firms are offering, is even prohibited and subject to regulation in the first place. Until that is made clear, any decision to cease activities may appear as an admission of wrongdoing.

If cfds or certain leverage or certain instruments r not permitted for USA clients then isn't it possible to offer two different packages for USA n non USA clients. When a USA client want to join they will get USA permitted trading environment n other clients wiil get normal one. As USA has big client base so no one want to miss them, so why it's so difficult to offer USA clients as per USA authority
-Not suggesting that you are implying this, but I think that it is worth noting that it seems to be a common misconception, even among some brokerages, that it is illegal for US citizens to trade certain instruments, with certain leverage etc.. In actuality, what is not legal, is for brokerages/firms to offer such services to US citizens, especially without proper licensing, regulatory oversight and compliance etc..

That being said, it is not only a matter of the nature of the offering, but that the offering is being provided for US citizens at all. Since regulators seem to see US citizens as their property, they require that any entity that wishes to conduct business with their property, must pay for permission to do so, while also adhering to strict, costly and burdensome rules/guidelines, reporting and other requirements etc..

I am no expert and I may be wrong about some of these things, but this is my basic understanding on the matter.

-While I appreciate what you are saying, it of course, is not entirely true in all cases. I also think that there is a point to be made about integrity and knowing where to draw our lines in the sand as traders.

I am with Apex since November. Your calculations are right. It's much more expensive than Forex props.
While I still have some Forex prop account, I am sticking with futures now. Why? Because I don't have to deal with forex broker tricks, like abnormal slippage, spreads widenings, execution delays... all kinds of tricks used viciously to flaw the game.
I prefer clear and transparent rules, even difficult for the trader and designed to increase the prop firm's edge, than finding out dishonest tricks are being used against me, which would frutrate me. But this is just me.

That being said, there are also issues with futures brokers from time to time, like currently with Tradovate, but they are genuine technical issues, not engineered.

Just wanted to jump into your discussion to give you another viewpoint.
Don't give up on your dreams. Keep sleeping.

Good point, there's execution issues I never liked in FX. Regardless of the reasons. FTMO trying to explain it as being the "norm" is a bit tough to swallow.

Exactly my point, trading with the forex props, we were 100 yard sprinters, now we need to become hurdlers. The tricky marketing and heavy discounts of the futures props leads one to believe these are better offers than the forex props, when, in actuality, they are far worse.
