{quote} Thanks for your constructive comment sir, not based on emotions at all... But rather reasoning like the guy in the video did. Personally not into youtube gurus. But sadly he does bring up some valid points.
He's not a guru. He made ZERO valid points. Imagine a kid trying to tell strangers how they feel and why they trade the way they do. Can't blame him for producing garbage content to try and make some affiliate money.

The prop firm made me do it. I'm a victim.

The heroin dealer made me choose to do heroin and become an addict

Can you put me back on your ignore list? Thx!

This guy has been full time live trader for 5 years started with MNQ.This video isn't for the 99.99% of those visiting here as most are pro and think prop firms are best in the world. Still interesting views by a younger veteran. Quite spot on and explains the psychology behind it why so many keep on just buying resets, even if they are at beginner levels and constant fails and the obvious reasons why prop firms are crap in reality for live trading and mental mind if at beginner/intermediate which we all know here. But might be some newbie indian...
If he thinks that futures props are limiting trader's potential, what he should advise is for people to open an AMP Futures account where traders can make day trading with extremely low margin. Then all their potential will be fulfilled, without rules, constrains and keeping 100% of the profits.

He's just focusing on the negative points, forgetting all the good things that a prop brings.

Awful asian session.... Tried gold longs twice failed.... seems like a big red day for gold on daily timeframe with hangman pattern..... 1. APex 150kx12 - Down 700$ on each account.... (For today going to look for only base hits just to keep alive the winning day streak) 2. Myfundedfutues 50kx3 - Down 250$ each account 3. Apha futures 50kx3 evals - 250$ each account (1300 more to go pass the evals) 4. Topstep evals 50kx5 - BLOWN (NOt going to reset yet need to build some confidence first.) {image} {image} {image}
Finally a gold long that worked after so many failed tries........

Recovered all the asian losses..........


1. Unfortunately lost alpha futures evals -- There is big difference between topstepx and alphaticks even though the look same (alot of missing features) ... I tried to open a sell on dow but instead it triggered on NQ with 5 mini the moment i realise it already liquidated the account.......ALways BS happens to me... I am going to stick with tradovate evals as i am more used to it.......

REviews on alpha ticks/alphafutures - not good copy trading not working correctly always different entries and even closing is different on different accounts.. Then whenever i manually close positions losing 2 points..... Dashboard doesnt work.. Nothing updates also kinda misleading it was showing i failed before even i traded a single contract..

DONT WANT TO REVENGE EVALS ANYMORE - August 1 apex payout funded topstep n alpha futures evals... Now august 15 will fund next batch of evals.....

The end of Ascendx might be near. Such offers are only made when the collapse is already there. Fire Sale 50% + 1 free account same size. Avoid this prop I would say. {image}
Avoid all FX prop firms I would say. I am trading what would be my last accounts with FTMO and 5%er now and I do not think I would ever buy any account with prop firm again. Their rules are no longer suitable for me

I mostly trade Gold and I do not have all the time in the world to stay glue to my computer hence the new selected rules aren't favourable for me. You cannot give me 100k account to trade and be telling me not to risk more than 1% on all open trades. That simply tells me that most of them do not trade FX

It is because they attract some challenge money. And there is only one money pot, so if that is divided among more future props, any Ponzi can easier fail because of.

CFTC's Pham Hits Again: “Decades-Old Regulations' Interpretations Lack Rational Basis”
Tuesday, 20/08/2024 | 15:40 GMT+2 by Arnab Shome

  1. Over a month after CFTC Commissioner Caroline Pham strongly criticized the regulator for its handling of misconduct allegations in the My Forex Funds case, she has once again attacked its regulatory practices.
  2. Pham, appointed by President Biden, criticised the unclear roles and responsibilities of different CFTC divisions.

CFTC Commissioner Caroline D. Pham, Source: X
Caroline D. Pham has done it again: The Commissioner at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has once more issued a statement criticising the working ethics of the top US regulatory agency. The fresh criticisms came little more than a month after she attacked the enforcement division of the regulator for its alleged misconduct in its actions against My Forex Funds.
“Unclear Roles and Responsibilities”
Recently, she publicly revealed her observation that “most of the CFTC’s improper changes in the interpretation of decades-old CFTC regulations, in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act, due to the lack of a rational basis, reasoned decision-making, and public notice-and-comment—namely, regulation by enforcement—is because of unclear roles and responsibilities among CFTC divisions.”
This is one of many criticisms Commissioner Pham has directed at the workings of the US agency that regulates the financial derivatives markets in the country.
Her criticisms were widely shared within the retail trading industry last September when she questioned the regulator's ethics in its lawsuit against Traders Global Group Inc., the prop trading firm My Forex Funds operator. She even expressed grave concerns over the allegations of false statements related to the case made by CFTC staff in court.
"This is a grave matter, and we, the Commission, will be subject to intense scrutiny over how we handle the alleged CFTC misconduct," Pham stated. "This type of behaviour cannot be tolerated at a law enforcement agency."
Notably, My Forex Funds is now seeking a sanctions order against the CFTC.
Earlier, she even questioned the CFTC’s “administrative proceedings,” saying that “the agency is the prosecutor, judge, and jury, lacking the checks-and-balances imposed by separation of powers between the executive and judicial branches of government to ensure a fair hearing and due process.”
She also pointed out the jurisdictional war between the CFTC and the SEC over cryptocurrencies when the two agencies took action against Kraken.
"[The lawsuit] appears to assert that fund shares held by investors—namely, securities—can themselves constitute leveraged trading," Pham stated. "this interpretation fails to distinguish between an investment in a fund, which would typically be a security under the jurisdiction of the SEC, and the trading activities of a fund, alleged here to be under the CFTC’s jurisdiction."
"The CFTC’s approach may infringe upon the SEC’s authority and undermine decades of robust investor protection laws by conflating a financial instrument with a financial activity, disrupting the foundations of securities markets. Owning shares is not the same thing as trading derivatives."

Who Is Caroline D. Pham?
Pham assumed her role as one of the CFTC Commissioners in April 2022, having been appointed by the Biden administration. She was nominated by President Joe Biden for the CFTC Commissioner role in December 2021 and was confirmed in March 2022.
She was not a stranger to regulatory workings, having served as Special Counsel and Policy Advisor to the Office of Commissioner Scott O'Malia at the CFTC between June 2013 and October 2014. She even interned at the regulatory agency.
Before she was appointed CFTC Commissioner, she worked at Citi for about seven and a half years. She joined the Wall Street bank in October 2014 as the Director and Head of Markets Regulatory Implementation and left as the Managing Director and Head of Market Structure for Strategic Initiatives.
Pham is one of the five CFTC Commissioners, all of whom are political appointees serving five-year terms. They collectively govern the regulatory agency's operations.

CFTC Must Fix Its Act
Pham’s latest criticisms of the agency highlighted its approach towards “self-reporting and cooperation credit,” which was tied to a particular case. She even stressed that the regulator must provide more clarity on self-reporting standards.
“I have proposed that the CFTC enhance procedures for coordination among the primary divisions—MPD, DMO, and DCR—and DOE to improve regulatory clarity and consistency in the interpretation and application of CFTC regulations, improve governance, and minimise the CFTC’s internal conflicts of interest,” she noted.
“The Commodity Exchange Act establishes various categories of market participants that must be registered in order to engage in activity in the derivatives markets,” she added in another criticism. “These CFTC registrants must comply with extensive requirements, including character and fitness standards.”

It is giving me vibes of Funding Talent. It was a scam but it depends on when you entered. If one entered early and took payouts it was great for first couple of months if you entered after confirmation you are screwed.
