Anyone contractually involved, will not be able to say anything. They'll be NDA'd up to the eyeballs. Even as traders, some propfirms have it in their t&c that we cannot talk negatively about the firm.

{quote} I agree. CTrader is obviously a huge plus, over MT, but on the other hand, they have very high fees, only 1:30 leverage (and "we do reduce leverage on some products as exposure is increased"), a maximum drawdown that trails open equity(!!), a requirement to reach 9%+ profit just to earn 75%, and they claim they use brokers but they won’t name any of them. Are there really people naive enough to pay for that?!
looks like max DD trails on balance

High fee was not really an issue if it was refundable, it is not..

{quote} Terrible offering, regardless of whether he's a good guy or not. $875 for 100k. 12% target 8% drawdown.Profit splits absolute joke. If you make 5% profit you keep 25%. That's enough for me to look no further.
The offers are going to get worse and worser from this point forward.......there is no US market, no MT4/5, no brokers want to risk their license, the CFTC, etc, etc, etc........ the well has done dried up

So, I opened 3 25k Bulenox and installed Quantower yesterday to get my feet wet doing copy trading on futures accounts after reading how some of you here have 20 Apex and 11 Bulenox accounts on Quantower. Made a trade today and had the SL and TP set automatically. Then, I saw that it probably wasn't going to hit my TP, so I manually closed the trade so that I didn't get buggered by the trailing drawdown like the other day. Went off for a few hours to entertain the kids and came back to see I passed the evaluation target!

Apparently if I manually close the position, the SL and TP orders remain active. The price actually ended up hitting the TP and reversed. Lucky today, but it could have gone badly. Is there anyway to auto close the TP/SL orders if I manually close the trade? Also, left ruing the fact that I didn't max out the 11 Bulenox accounts.

Yes they do. Even if your tp or sl is hit, you must cancel the remaining "working orders". Trying to see if there is some type of feature that will cancel all orders related to a position, no luck as of yet.

{quote} there are some reports of props selling this type of data as well as mail data. When i sign for a prop i always used a brand new email address. On the one i used for TFT I am now getting like 50 different prop firms spamming me, pick a name you have never heard of and its them.
interesting...
you must have a raft of email addresses...
how do you keep them organized?

Hey guys I Hope all is well with everyone, been following this thread for a while but just lost track of the updates. Can someone please give me their top five best firms to buy a challenge with including FTMO. I would greatly appreciate your input please and thank you Regards Siyasanga.
Not sure where you're from, but mine are:
1. ACG - I've been getting paid for the past 8 months. Still have 3 funded accounts there. No serious complaints, but processing time seems to have increased a little recently.
2. The5ers - Still in Phase 2, but I really like their spreads and no slippages so far.
3. FTMO - More expensive and harder to pass. Make sure you limit your lot sizes once you get funded and don't go anywhere near your margin.
4 & 5. The ones I'm trying out so far are Funding Pips and Real Funds Trader simply because their 100k account was only around 350. Funding pips uses CTrader, though.

Others I've tried and got funded are:
1. TFT - abandoned early last year after some crazy slippages and long withdrawal times.
2. E8 - abandoned early last year after some crazy slippages as well.

I typically go for 8% Phase 1 and 5% Phase 2 targets and higher leverage on indices. Also, firms with less negative reviews here.

In another platform that I use, you can "peg" the TP and SL to the trade itself. So, if I manually close the trade the TP/SL will drop off (cancel). Certainly QT must have this ability.
A snails pace wins the race :-)

You would think so. I have been researching, no luck so far.

If anyone use tradovate you can set SL and TP which work same like in Mt4/5 .

{quote} That’s exactly what at least 90% of people trying to pass funding evaluations do. {quote} They certainly have some strange rules that nobody else has. But if you absolutely insist on using CFDs, and if those position-size rules don’t inconvenience you, and if you want a genuinely funded account at a proper, named, regulated brokerage which isn't owned by the prop firm, they might be a good choice. They have no time-limit and no monthly subscription, either, and they pay reliably.
Thanks for the added info. Appreciate it Karl.

hmmm.... I use the mini side panel for order entry with market orders + preset tp/sl, and the remaining pending order always auto closes when the other is executed. You can see it notifying in real time that it placed/canceled OCO order.

I think US gov't is threatened that there's a lot of US traders being successful without them getting a tax cut that's why they are trying to force traders to go to a regulated broker instead of trading in prop firms.

Not really 100% sure though but that's just my observation.

At the end of the day we're all taking a risk . I decided to trust my offshore broker after all the discouraging news with prop and I just grew my $100 to $2K. Not boasting but trying to reassure my fellow traders that the same skillset you invest in a prop do it with your own capital and be strategic with your trades. It can be done
