{quote} Let's not make it a pissing contest here please. I've worked with many great guys from Germany during my career and I know how proud you guys can be about your university degrees and how many doctorates you love to earn. Does it mean a young guy who barely graduated from the high school with no experience in trading deserves to be disregarded just because they're not DBA with 15 yrs. experience? Some can be pain in the ass here but trust me, it's not about their degree.
Those with real power and influence don't have to say it. One thing I've picked up during my decade in the industry.

All of my brainiac education delayed my trading success. Trading is a fight against the instincts of my inner caveman. Watch TraderTom on YT.
A snails pace wins the race :-)

It's a legit option but it's also a VERY slow grind... You pay about $100 upfront + $40 per month. It will take about 3-4 months of excellent performance to get around 50-60K in allocations with a 15% profit split which is the equivalent of a 10K Prop account with 85% profit split. Until a trader can climb the ranks and reach top 100 they wont see any meaningful earnings from the platform.

They collect monthly fees from everyone while only 1% succeed to reach top 100 after 1-3 years of time and effort. Different model... same minuscule success rate. To be somewhat fair, we have all heard of folks blowing eval+live accounts endlessly for months without securing a payout. They do offer a much cheaper way to lose money lol.

Alpha Capital announced that they will launch their own custom built in-house trading platform called A Trader (or Alpha Trader) in 8 weeks.
They said even US peeps can use it. Sounds great. Just don’t bank on the target launch date, they tend to overpromise their delivery dates there.

Just thought I would share this with everyone. By doing so I would like to hear you guys & girls views on what I'm sharing.
Against my better judgement & even after being advised to stay away by one trader on this forum that I have in high regard I decided to purchase a 50K evaluation with E8 Markets using their Match Trader platform. The evaluation was started on 3-15-24 & so far so good. The spreads are decent & the platform is ok. Already 1/4 of the way to the profit target even after a minor health setback. Using the Match Trader platform for order entry & using MT4 for charting.

Would appreciate any views & comments especially from anyone that may be trading an evaluation with E8 Markets.

Best of trades to all.

Anyone here trading with Apex under a business entity? Per their FAQ, additional exchange fees may be applied for professional trader accounts, and to review terms to determine if you qualify, however, there is nothing stated in their terms about this. Just curious if anyone has encountered this. In any case, I have emailed support and will report back my findings.

Thanks.

I'm doing a new challenge with them after a long time.
I'm experience the usual bad slippage and I have proof of that. Matchtrader has level II but that's just a fake thing in E8 because it's not considered.

Let's say I have in EURUSD ask something like this:
100K 1.09350
500K 1.09351
1M 1.09352

If I buy just 1 lot in quiet hours, when the price almost doesn't move, I still get the usual 0.5/0.6 slippage.
Not filled at 1.09350 or 1.09351 or 1.09352 which would be the maximum I would expect for 1 lot.

This is something that E8 always had in the past. They have decent spreads but then have the hidden spread under heavy slippage.

I guess it's their way to keep HFT away.

P.S. In the last 2 weeks I enter in reckless mode testing some new shops in the arena and doing again some old ones that I haven't used for a while. Let's see what I can milk and how many will let me down. I'll keep updates here.

Yesterday TFF sent an email saying some bla bla bla that they were going to consolidate accounts in ctrader bla bla bla and that I would receive another email in the next couple of hours (I didn't yet). No idea what that mean but today when initializing ctrader I got this. Did anyone experience that too ? if so what have you done. {image}
cTrader account credentials often end up in spam. Check your spam folder, you must have email from cTrader with your account credentials.

Another ACG update. Yesterday, ACG updated their FAQ re Performance fee bonus. They don't do refunds, just the performance fee bonus.
Before it was 0.25-0.5% of the account size, now it is just 0.25%. (While others give refunds or 112% refund)

Just saw that today. Bad timing. I could have waited some more days before purchasing.
I doubt but I'll see if they can migrate an existing challenge.

A 200K account costs $997 and they will reimburse only $500. Bad. They are not even the cheapest.

ACG seems to have sales everyday, usually 20% off.
