There are rumors that payment processor froze funds of funded engineer. They were already half dead, anyway.
It was probably checkout, they are connected to fpfx so i would not be surprised.

Key takeaway...you tried all of the "regulated" brokers they encourage us to use and had horrible experiences, you then settled on Tradersway and FXChoice for 10 years without a problem. So did I.
Ironically, both are the horrible, horrible, unregulated brokers we should never use.
Should tell everyone something.

It does: it tells people that you’re not trading profitably: Tradersway is absolutely fine as long as you don’t regularly make profits and try to withdraw them. For those (very, very few!) customers, it’s a whole different story.

I have been with Forex.com since 2009. Never any problem. I was with FXDD before they moved offshore. I am also with TD Ameritrade but dont like there platform. In the process of signing up with Stonex which is the futures side of forex.com
Drawdown is more important than Account Size !

Apparently this was a problem related with a network in India, which caused a lot of DMs in twitter. Apparently they're still alive (though connected to life support).

Next step for Apex is to contract mediums for their support in order to read the mental stops and make sure that none are changed.

apologies for off topic in advance...

I'm running breakout experts on Nasdaq, DJ and Xau...
they're doing okay, but I'm thinking of turning on only when market moves are likely...
ranging days hurt these guys.
Bank holidays and no red news days are good times to turn off, clearly

Any other suggestions on getting a hint at potential ranging or moving days ahead?

Plenty of good advice, there.

For people determined - for whatever reason - to trade spot rather than futures (and to try to make steady profits without any volume or order-flow information), it’s pretty hard to do better than Oanda and/or forex.com

Just the fact that they’re properly regulated avoids at least 95% of the potential horror-stories that fill every trading forum on the web, and if you do ever manage to have a serious problem, at least you’ll have a real, independent regulator, with real teeth, on your side, in the event of an argument.

All you need to do is read all the online tales of woe, asking yourself the question “Would this have happened if the broker had been properly regulated?” To anyone who knows anything about the industry, at least 95% of the time, the answer’s “no”.

{quote}-I think, having profit caps with minimum trading days and x% consistency rule is a must. It can work out well for firms since the statistics lean heavily in their favor. Unfortunately, and this is the big problem, cheaters ruin the game for everyone, forcing firms to employ more and more measures in an effort to suffocate them out. This inevitably results in having fewer and fewer participants as you eventually limit yourself to having only traders that are better-than-average, that are willing and able to work within all of the rules that...
If the props keep changing rules that reduce gamblerss and chaeters, doesnt that make their data trading flow better and easeir to deal with? Maybe they can find a way to monetise it since they would be left with the less toxic traders like you said.

-I doubt it.

Although many traders probably believe that they are good traders, and maybe some are for a while, I would bet that most cannot trade everyday for a month or longer without giving most of their profits back to the market.

It would be difficult to back traders with real capital without having sufficient data. How much trading data would you need in order to give a stranger 40k of your own money? 6 months? 12 months? Probably, the firm would go bankrupt before it could even make that transition.

Brokers can make money whether traders are good or not because they are not having to fund the accounts.
