Arctic is drumming up a variety of PR, from CEO beef to launch teases.

Yep, maybe that's an elaborated marketing strategy, developed with a McKinsey team of consultants, after hours of branstorming, a detailed SWOT analysis and a 200 pages business plan.

Just to add - Seems after becomin CFO Chris is making some changes at Prop trade tech along with Alastair [Alastair is the CEO] From basic reading it looks like the firms listed on that page are just distributors. Not eval firms. When you buy a challenge, the money goes to Eightcap [The eval firm receives a refereal commission] You trade as per the rules. As you reach payout, you will receive the payout from Eight cap Eightcap may adjudicate disputes [MAY. ust remember that. Not certain what and how etc]. Prop Trade Tech might have entered into a strategic agreement with EIghtcap for administering the challenges. There is also a possibility that some of the PTT people will be part of the administration along with EIghtcap. This is a model similar to FPFX's basic eval firm offering. Big difference is PTT roped in a broker to administer things instead of doing on their own. A very good move by them [Not a recommendation. In my list any firm connected with PTT are strictly avoid. But some change seems to be coming. Need to look into it]

How to get issues like payout denials addressed at eval firms?

1st step - Write a formal mail to the firm [without any abuses] requesting them to reconsider. Explain your side of the story. Explain rationale behind your trades. Put some effort in writing this.

2nd step - If the firm still refuses, send the firm another mail requesting them to honor the contractual agreement. Give them 1 to 2 weeks time. Till this point you won't need any lawyer. Don't use any lawyer from your contry just to send a letter. It is waste of money for you.

3rd step - If the issue is not sorted, file a complaint with consumer commissions / forums in respective countries and / or states within that country.

4th step - If it is still not sorted, you can file the legal case. For this you need to approach the lawyer in that country [where the firm is operating]. You will come across a few options. Try to find some one who will work on success fee based.
4a - Even if a lawyer agrees for success based fee, still you will end up paying court fees. It varies. Assume you may end up any where between 500 to 3000 USD as court fee [in some places the claim amount also determines the fee].

5] - If you followed this process meticulously, you will have a very good chance of getting justice.

… while if the industry were properly regulated in the first place, of course you wouldn't need to do any of it at all (just as clients of futures brokers don't).

But in exchange of regulation you would have much worse offers from any retail prop, because of the cost for regulation, see Oanda and Forex.com vs. IC Markets (SC).

Thanks for trying to push the futures thing again. I'll continue to gamble with props and offshore brokers.

And good luck with them while they last, Woody.

My own guess is that regulation is coming eventually, and that eventually you’ll benefit from it, as we all will. But (unlike some others who post here, apparently, lol!) I may, of course, be wrong.

Wishing you well, either way.

If a company cares on reputation it is much more powerful than any regulation. The broker or prop will listen to his customers and will do everything that they are happy. On regulation it is forced to have a given standard among all companies. But with competition it is not needed as the better ones will look for reputation. You only need to make your own mind to choose from. With regulation only the average Joe with his high school degree is protected who is as dumb as earth. If you are educated you do not need regulation you have a mind and can judge the offer and what the reputation standing of a broker or retail prop is. So the question is now, are you that educated person who has an own mind and own opinion and can judge yourself or are the dumb average Joe in USA with no education at all who needs to be protected from government with regulators ? --->>> I think that 99% here are good educated persons here, so this is only a theoretical question here.

Interestingly, I have received approx. 50% of my due payout from Dei Funded, within about two days of the payout date (approx. $14.5k received so far, the same still due). I'm relatively optimistic following discussions with them that the remainder will be coming soon. Must admit, I wasn't expecting to receive it so that's a pleasant surprise.

Having to call the other guys crooks and defending, simultaneously, that futures props are honest. But not all futures props, just some of them.

One has to be a great juggler to do all this. Earning life is hard for some people. I almost feel sorry.

One of the best posts ever.
Regulation and all forms of government control are ALL GEARED towards the less educated, they are easier to manipulate and control. Keeping in mind, regulation is never really for the benefit of the end user, it is just disguised as such.
Intelligent folks understand how to do their own due dilligence, develop their own risk model and USUALLY avoid situations where regulation would be needed in the first place.
Once again, a waiver allowing one to opt-out from protection. That will never happen, as it is not about protection at all.

Quite often, yes. Madoff paid out for decades. How much it pays out doesn’t determine whether something is a scam, does it?

Oh well. One person had no complaints for two years. Conclusive proof, there: can’t possibly be a scam?!
