You have (as so often) completely missed the point. What they want is to exclude people who had one lucky trade because unlike all the idiotic scammy CFD "funders" discussed here every day they’re actually putting real money into a real account to ...

OMG, someone actually gave the right answer. That doesn’t happen very often, in this thread. (They won’t listen to you, anyway.)

They will if they know you’re posting online. It’s the other 99% of their victims … sorry, “customers” … we should worry for.

Everyone who has ever been, or even seen, a scalper on the trading-floor of any financial institution in the world will give you the same answer: 100% of them - not just 99% - use TA (as well as fundamentals, obviously, not instead of!).

Yes, unrealistic expectations are certainly part of it. But more importantly, they don’t begin to understand the absolute basics: don’t even know what a “broker” is; can’t distinguish between a transparent, honest market and a fake one; actually ...

You were. So was I. (The difference was that I was for ever wrongly accused of being a shill for 5 or 6 different things - and even sometimes of having multiple memberships here! - because of that.)

That’s the CME fee: it doesn’t go to the prop firm. If you’re trading “someone else’s money” (which you are, obviously, with a genuinely funded account rather than with an imitation one), you’re a professional trader, according to CME, so you have ...

New companies as awful-looking as that will continue to spring up for as long as there are people gullible enough to be fooled by them, I suppose.

No, Eren10, sorry, but this is just completely wrong. You DON’T need that to check it. The exchange feed is all you need. Just read the post I linked to. (I think some of the people posting here actually don’t know what an exchange is?!?!).

Here you have a very good point, and you make it well. Thank you.

You couldn't be more mistaken if you tried, Capa. The point you’re missing (as always) is that you don’t have to take anyone else’s word for it. It takes only a second to verify it for yourself. However many times this is pointed out to people here, ...

Completely wrong. It isn’t, at all. It’s completely different. With futures, it’s trivially easy to verify that you’re trading on a real, live, genuinely funded account on a real exchange. It’s a genuine partnership in which the people funding you ...

Seriously?! Here for 7 years but you don’t realise that 1:500 and “regulated” are - by definition - mutually exclusive? No real regulator allows leverage anything like that. Only fake/pretend regulators who are paid for by the companies they ...

Three things. Firstly, make sure before putting on a trade in a live account that your trading method has a reliably, robustly proven edge. Secondly, make sure before putting on a trade in a live account that you understand enough about basic ...

Sorry to disappoint, but I know nothing about them at all. Whatever's going on there, it doesn't alter what I said above: unlike most of what's said here, that's just factual.

Happily: you just briefly enter an order that’s far from the current price, and see whether or not it immediately shows up on the exchange’s depth-of-market, where pending orders are listed. If it does, then you know your account is real and ...

The determination of some of this forum’s members not to acknowledge this simple, provable, unarguable reality just continues to amaze me, time after time after time: evidently the words "Yes, ok, I see what you mean: maybe I’m mistaken after all" ...

Lol. Ladder presumably doesn’t understand order types (maybe only uses market orders, or something?).
- KarlKraus replied Apr 23, 2024
The point you’re missing (as usual) is that with futures it’s trivially easy to verify whether or not your account is real/live/funded: there’s an exchange (the CME), so all you have to do is briefly enter a stop order a mile from the current price ...

Nearly unbelievable: the gratuitous, unhelpful, desperate, ridiculous spammers are now even spamming the threads of other gratuitous, unhelpful, desperate, ridiculous spammers. You couldn’t make it up.
