The future of prop is away from MetaTrader, which is great as it's a piece of shit.

The direct licence props will most likely keep it (FTMO, 5%ers etc), but they'll be the ones who will take all the toxic flow that comes from people abusing MetaTrader (it was always designed to be abused, albeit from the broker's side).

I disagree, MT5 is a great algo programmable package. I have been trading it for the last 3 years. It is only "abusable" if trader is a loser, i.e. does not know how to trade and must blame everyone around but him/her self.

In Europe we have a saying: "For bad ballet dancer(male), balls are always get in the way".

Cheers, PA was great last few days, weekend is here.

Nothing to do with a trader being 'a loser' / trader / having an edge / people who want to use EAs legitimately.

It's abusable by it's fundamental design and therefore attracts people who want to cheat / exploit.

It was originally designed for brokers to screw their clients with the backend plugins but has more than enough capability to do that the client end. Capabilities that don't exist with DX, cTrader etc etc.

MetaTrader is dead for the USA(and will be rest of the world outside licences). I've seen the communications they've had with brokers. People can believe it now or wait until their prop provider tells them.

Are there any remaining props offering MT to US customers?

Your justification for your argument is poor. You think because US can't use it that metatrader is dead? All those brokers without RFED permissions are dead then? Metatrader is so much more robust than the alternatives due to years of heavy load experiences and customized development from communities. On top of that the bridge tools and fair execution abilities are second to none for the retail space (as is).

To think that CTrader DX or Match are going to remotely challenge that technology is funny.

Could they improve? Maybe, but I hold little faith in their abilities, they have all been around a while and their software is clunky at best. It won't take long for mass banning situations to happen with DX and Match trader due to them being laggy and if a simple clicker means you can always get better prices from latency arbitrage and no proper means to mitigate it. On the flip side, the traders who trade normally will get massive slippage and poor execution as people are experiencing with fundingpips.

I won't say never, but to make such a claim is ridiculous.

I just closed at market on APEX using ninja trader on ES contracts. If I hit the DOM with limits, i get the price i request, if I close at market, it slips to bollocks sometimes beyond the DOM and i am trading single contracts. But metatrader is to blame for our failures.

{quote} It’s great fun - even with regular, small withdrawals - until one day you do really well and want to withdraw $10k+. Then, suddenly, it tends to be a whole different story, and there’s no effective regulator on your side. That, of course, is why they’ve chosen to be offshore "brokers". Good luck with that.
I know the risks, mommy. Leave me alone and go away.

Dead for prop. This is a prop thread so I thought it would be implied that I meant that, but if I wasn't clear then that's what I meant.

Across the normal broker space it'll still continue to be used. The exploits / cheating as less of a risk broker-side if a client is funding the account fully rather than partial prop payment.

no just futures are laggy, I would have to get a VPS next to the exchange to make the feed not lag. At least with metaquotes DC set up and a robust b book i can get the price i request without the latency slippage.

it will continue to be the most popular platform for props should metaquotes allow it to continue for non US. There are too many custom tools built for it and it is still the easiest to use platform in the market.

I do wait for someone to come up with something good, but what is out there right now is not going to cut it.

They'll kill / are killing all the grey labelling (ThinkMarkets is about to go too) so outside the US the direct licence players (FTMO / 5%ers, a I wrote above) will likely retain it.

However, they'll take all the toxic traffic. I don't think the props who won't retain MT will miss that traffic.

US is the biggest single market so the US not being able to use MT is already a massive shift.

One of the issues has been few alternatives to MT. Now the likes of TradingView will enter (so many people do their analysis on TV but execute on MT), there will be competition.

Mobile market is key - so many 'traders' use mobile so any alternative has to have a solid mobile offering.

Subscription starts at time of payment, not first trade.

did you set your ctrader password? if you havent an ctrader account in the email you will be asked to set a password in a link ctrader sent
then you just login with your email and password and you have acess to all ctrader accounts of all brokers
