CEO of TFF Probably paving the way for worsening conditions. {image}
Flat/declining growth was always the #1 enemy... growth disappeared after MFF... Meta just dropped an atomic bomb that finished the job.

Funny how these guys always twist arguments. Now it's for legal reasons. Like if we don't know that they are facing liquidity issues.

He is only semi-bullshitting.

There is a legal argument that if there is a refund the fee is in custodian. But I have heard from multiple people that matt is frantically running around looking at rules to change to save mffx.

Apex is under fire for not using live funds when they said they would. Plus all the marketing hype stuff. I think the reason the futures firms skirted the law for so long is that they were small and had no noise coming in about them. Now they are growing on the back of the OTC firms and the rats start to run.

CFDs being illegal in the US is a useful attack vector for the CFTC. Topstep has been around for over a decade and NOW the retail futures prop business model would be a problem with regulators?

I think that doing something in the name of futures and not executing is a bigger crime than doing it in the name of OTC from a legal stand point. If infact what is said about real money is not true, I think someone - if they decide to go after futures firms - will go to prison.

With Topstep it is clearly stated that there is an option to stay sim or go live with exchange fees. They will also force traders live after 10K or so in profit.... but then again Capablanca stated that his personal audit in the past found that was completely false. With Apex there is no clear option to go live & and it's basically rumors if/when they will send traders live to get them out of the more trader friendly sim environment.

Yeah idk, they may come after the business model but there was never a time when claims of live accounts being used. With Apex it was always disclosed in plain english how people are getting paid and where revenue is being generated. Theres never been claims of live accounts.

That has always been the main and biggest difference from FX prop.

This is why, as a general rule, I don't like people. What's this guy's problem? Bet he would have zero issues with me taking my life savings to Las Vegas and risking it all on one hand of blackjack, but "I must protect people" is his answer to props. If you don't know what props are by now, you deserve your fate. If you are trading stupidly, you deserve your fate. If you are trading with money you can't afford to lose, you deserve your fate. But some idiot like this trying to frak things up for everyone, Sod off.

I wouldn’t get to worked up over what Peter Brandt has to say. I remember back in the day when he was calling all things crypto a ponzi, scam etc and then changed his tune when he could no longer ignore the money being made. He’s known for his unhinged behavior.

nice but you dont need all of it i think the main drivers are top 5 unh i guess have the highest weightage. Plus its just an confluence not exactly it works in futures. Stocks will be green and dow will be doing opposite happens alot. Today all stocks opened green i am expecting 1 or 2h candle for the down move to get into longs,,,,
