The issue with this approach is that, because of the size of the accounts props are offering and the corresponding requirement to put down a significant amount of margin, it is quite capital demanding.

From AI

„No, not every CFD broker is a B-book broker. While many CFD brokers utilize the B-book model, where they essentially act as the counterparty to client trades, there are also A-book brokers who route client orders to external liquidity providers. Some brokers even employ a hybrid approach, using both A-book and B-book strategies.

Here's a breakdown:

  1. B-Book:
    Brokers take the other side of client trades, essentially acting as a market maker. They profit when clients lose and may face increased risk.
  2. A-Book:
    Brokers route client orders to external liquidity providers (like banks or other financial institutions), who then execute the trades in the real market.
  3. Hybrid:
    Brokers may use a combination of both models, potentially routing less profitable trades to the B-book and more profitable ones to the A-book.

Therefore, it's important to research and understand a broker's execution model before choosing to trade with them. Some brokers, like Pepperstone, specifically state that they use an A-book model and route trades to external liquidity providers. Others, like many prop firms, may primarily use the B-book model“

this owner was very often not honest with a lot in history already (from own coaching , own trading, his marketing.....) , so there is also a big chance A-booking was just talk around and so not fully true and maybe just mentioned to fake a reason.

of course a game like prop cant be played in a-book, prop in general attracts the bad traders and beginners. .. you will not find enough good traders inside, and even this good traders are often longterm not really good.

Broker A booking is very different prospect from prop A booking, as you have the capital from customer deposits.

If someone has a $20,000 CFD account there's $20,000.

Obviously not the same for prop so an A-book only model is clearly idiocy.

yes but careful with AI, AI only learns what is in the internet and most stuff in internet not true, pepperstone cleary runs B book too they dont run only A Book, if they run only A Book they must receive order flow payment to route trades to a market maker and nothing wrong with that, but brokers should be transparent about that

Not sure whats the difference. For example if brokers like BlueBerryMarkets already B-Booking, It is more profitable for them.
For example if 100 traders buy 100K account with fees of 500$ each statitically 2 phase challenge pass rate is about 5% which gives them fees of around 50K and if 5% passes almost 1 to 2% reaches payout.
Also you are forgetting if I deposit my money they dont have option of denying profits for any reason like YOLO, gambling ect. where as funded account I have to be perfect no YOLO otherwise payout will rejected or they put shit rule can't risk more than 1% per trade etc...

And finally the mofo time......

it took me 6months plus to be eligibile for the payout from futureselite.......

Fumbled twice before while too close to get that bag in that time .......

This time finally crossed the finished line.....

Now i have atleast peace that this firm is a profitable now..........

I have total spent 55 challenges within last 6 months with average of 55$ a piece = 3025$.......

Now going to request 1500x5 (80% split) = 6000$

From this payout i am going to purchase tradeify which is deep loser for me thanks to STF purchases total money spent there is around 13k without a payout. I'll be focusing 100% for next coouple of months to get profitable there.

Thanks for this:
MOFO is an acronym that stands for “Manifestor Of Fantastic Opportunities.” It's the opposite of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). Contrary to how our society may define the word MOFO, I've reclaimed this word in a way to embody strength, empowerment, and connection.

Yes, that's what I meant. For a regulated broker where the trading capital was deposited by the traders themselves in advance, an A-Book model seems to be a completely different thing than when a prop company tries this.

"Funded Unicorn." I didn't even know them before, even though they're from my country. It doesn't seem to have been a long story. They only started in April and went bankrupt three months later. But that seems to be the case for many of these companies.

I'm continuing to try FTMO because, as a European, I shouldn't have any problems there, and they've been established for a long time. Also, didn't they acquire Oanda? If they had the necessary cash to do so (as far as I've read, it was mostly financed with cash), one can probably assume for the time being that they won't go under so quickly or stop paying out profits.

WOW mofo's

According to the company’s 2023 annual report, recently reviewed by Finance Magnates, it ended the year with a pre-tax profit of CZK 2.37 billion (about USD 98 million), over 31 per cent higher than the previous year’s CZK 1.8 billion (about USD 74.5 million). After taxes, the company's net profit came down to CZK 1.92 billion (over USD 79.3 million). https://www.financemagnates.com/fore...llion-in-hand/

With all that money, you'd think they'd eek out a discount coupon or two.

Can you imagine having the accounts of the best traders in the world in your back pocket and plugging them straight into the brokerage that you own.
I think they will soon accumulate all the money in the world.
The only positive thing about this is that Elon didn't think of this.

If TP is 20 pips, your SL must be tight? Does this strategy work on gold?
