{quote}How do do you know you were live? MFF added spread on top of their STP accounts on top of the dealers' spread. There's no reason for them to do this other than to make reduce the profit and make it harder for the trader.
They simply simulated real conditions, which were actually better than real conditions. The gambler/scalper/larger size orders received more slippage.......just like the real market.......it is common sense for anyone that knows anything at all about trading.
The problem is the CFTC does not nor does anyone claiming victory about MFF being shut down.
Now we are left with a bunch of scam firms doing anything and everything TO NOT PAY people.
Yes, we are in a way better place....Thank God they got rid of MFF

Man, I just have to say, as I read the posts in here.......Nobody is fooling anyone. Everyone's agenda is crystal clear by the idiotic posts that are being made.
The anti MFF, the pro garbage firms, the pro futures but anti apex, it's all crystal clear guys.

I'm talking about the traders who were STPed / went truly live.

Unnecessary spread was added to reduce the profit / increase their losses of these accounts.

Even the largest MFF apologists can't spin that one.

Some of us are living with such hypocrites... Quit trading if you aren't happy with any firm. At this point you are just addicted

You keep repeating this nonsense but you clearly didn't read the case.

The case says they got slightly worse pricing than the b-book. It didn't say "THEY ADDED SPREAD TO A BOOK". A difference in price feed between the platform and the execution seems to make that "spread" you are talking about.

But its ok, on Match trader the traders would have gotten worse prices regardless of whether they were A or B booked. Its the traders fault right?

Which one would that be? Lol, whatever he posts, you accuse him of owning some firm. Lux Trading, or Topstep, or even the CFTC. Make up your mind!!

Wrong. It essentially says exactly that.

I've read the entire matter and subscribe to PACER to see the paywalled docs.

As per the above screenshot, it's not talking about execution delays.

This one is good, too.

After discussions with the CEO the proposed anyone who had made more than 5% profit would be put on a group which made it harder for them to profit. The groups people excuse that were 'just to stop cheaters'.

I know, it’s crazy. Meanwhile I have quietly passed 17 apex evals, with other 3 less than $100 to go. TDD never below $2000

Not once in last few weeks have I had to wake up and wonder if it’s a scam. For now, it certainly is not.
A snails pace wins the race :-)

Yes, I am $688 away in this this batch, my peak threshold is $23 away from the balance, so $2,477 in DD available. I think I trade much better without the added stress of worrying about the broker, the firm, the platform, MT4, payout denials, etc.........makes sense I guess.
Full disclosure, I've blown a few as well. But my ROI is 400% against investment at this point and should only climb quickly and exponentially from here

Futures firms are shit, most CFD firms are a scam. Prop is a slightly more sophisticated form of gambling that most punters are addicted to.

The statistical overwhelming probability is you'll all lose money in the long-term.

I'm not in touch with him anymore, but I knew a senior director at one of the largest and one of the first CFD firms in Europe. He said out of the 100s of 1000s of traders he saw, there was only one who was consistently profitable more than a couple of years.

Naturally no one on here, because everyone on a trading forum is profitable.

it all comes down to risk management....if you know how to manage risk (most don't or simply lack the emotional control to execute it), your strategy can have a low win rate.
For example, on these futures props with trailing DD, I take multiple small profits as opposed to letting a trade run with the possibility of coming back.
I then reenter almost immediately, but using the NEW risk parameters of goal vs. DD available. This truly is not rocket science.
However, you are correct, most have no idea what they are doing or they understand the game but lack the control to execute.

I use rithmic and my take is this.......if I am making money, the $85 is simply a monthly expense. If I am not making money, I lose $85 vs. $140 (50K rithmic).
I have not maxed the 20 accounts yet, as my approach, just like it was in the forex props, is reinvest payouts, even with the initial layout being much lower.
So when this first batch gets paid, I will purchase the rest.
I may after a few payouts, do the lifetime on some of the accounts.......stay active for 2 months you're ahead of the game........however, that is another conversation on whether to build a buffer or take the payout and just start over.

My son uses Tradovate with Ninja and he is able to see his stats through Ninja I believe.....I will ask him when I speak with him later today.
He has seen my setup though and says his next batch he is going rithmic.
