{quote} Yep i dont know first payout. Long story First 20 PA's reached 54k in 7 days then over confidence and huge size lost 5 Pa in matter of minutes (they were below threshold) and n rest 15 were lucky only so locked in them all at 52600$. Able to pull 2k out of them and yolo'ed the rest of 600$ drawdown. REason First 20 PA's required 121 eval attempts. Next 20 PA's in one shot. Right Now I only have myfundedfutures, apex and topstep. upcoming payout will fund another 3x150k in future firm(still searching for a good one), 2x200k ftmo, Apha 300k...
so did you receive the 2,000 times 15, my understanding with apex is if you blow them up before payout, you don't get paid. Although I believe it to be payout approval, not actual payout.
I cannot believe you are going to go back into forex prop world. I would seriously reconsider that decision. I have my live 5%ers account, it satisfies my forex urge. If I ever lose it or US gets banned again or whatever, I'll be futures only or perhaps go on the Darwinex zero route with Expo....he needs a Darwinex buddy.

Once approved you'll get the money. By the way blow means i haven't gone below the max dd not that stupid to be on safe side left 135$ worth of dd.
If i had already been paid by them i would have going wild here . For my payout the last step is pending hitting my BAnk account.

My original plan was to activate these new 20 PA's after the payout but renewal date forced me to do it right away. Plus my calculation says if i am lucky can ask for payout at exact 20th of this month from these accounts. Thats why only aiming 300$ a day.

Btw i want to increase portfolio in futures except the current ones i am using rest have garbage payout policy. Take profit trader is good but Canada is banned. Elitetrade seems like my only option for 3x150k or Bulenox but they dont have tradovate thats the only bummer.

For Forex i'll picking up only the Grandmasters firm. Probably looking for 2million worth of funding there. SO going to pull max funding from ftmo, 5%ers, alpha and e8markets/fxify maybe 100k with as many garbage firms as possible go like casablanca route smaller payouts there safer.

Honestly Futures has improved my scalping to godlike level. In n out with 0 to min. drawdown.

Competition is good, of course, but it cannot be diluted to a point where nobody can survive.....that hurts all of us.
-Agreed. Perhaps it would not be fully possible to put a cap on competitors in a free market, without government intervention, but at least significantly raising the bar would help to ensure that the opportunity lasts longer.

2. Also nearly hit the Apex daily target of 300$.

3. Myfundedfutures as well will use 1 mini to capture rest of the target for today

Random thought

The first time I watched a few minutes of the guys on TopStepTV I wanted to gouge my eyes out.

I tried again this morning and they started to grow on me. I actually enjoyed their trading banter and to be honest I could learn a few things from them. They each had a unique perspective.

Maybe they will invite me on as their 5th wheel. Whatcha got going on Expo? F##k my plan, F##k my dreams, I'm all in bitch! Um, let's cut to commercial boys

{quote} Yup, like I said in the post above I could have had a 7 year track record and been managing millions already. (assuming I could make a few percent a month) Thank you to the US regulators for protecting me from myself. Phew, that was close. I almost got sucked into a great opportunity.
Managing Millions on darwinex or talking about your & others private equity ??

{quote} But would you invite me to your harem.
Absolutely.

Running on a tight budget. Hope you like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

There are traders that have several million under their management after a few years of consistent trading on Darwinex.

Scroll thru and you can see what a track record gets you.

{quote} for apex they approved on 28th last month. THen i had only 600$ drawdown left so yolo'ed and lost them. I have donated so much to APex in recent time they shouldn't be having any payout problems.
So, one and a half week and the money is not in your bank ? I know the important is that it arrives but that sounds very inefficient...

For now I think I will pass Darwinex because there is a lot of easier money to me made with my limited time (at least until the soviets on this side of the ocean decide to protect me from the devil that exists in myself).

Nevertheless I will still give a second thought. It's would be interesting to replicate in Darwin the trades I do in my own trading account, which I try to be slow and steady without much DD.

Re real funds, we can be reasonably sure that it's legit ?

Another motivation guys this guy made it. 200k with apex. I've been following him for a while. Follows his rules strictly not gonna comment on his trading style. {image}
Any link for that guy ?

{quote} Yes. But it won't happen anymore, given the regulatory risk no one will be that generous anymore if they figure some things out.
Connor went to Peaks. Has Josh left the prop space ? It's a pity that a lot of so good knowledge is wasted.

I would assume the investor capital is real. If it wasn't you'd think sometime in the last 7 years the truth would have come out if it wasn't.

{quote} Days before shutdown Josh was hinting that they figured something out with the data and they were about to start paying traders even if they blew accounts... do you have any idea what that may have been?

But don't you think 6 to 7 years of track record is not easy to build, who will wait for 7 years to manage 1 million dollars
and its not just about the track record, its about understanding its risk engine first
because if we don't understand it how can we build that score which is required
our strategy can double the account in just 2 weeks if it worked but that includes serious floating drawdown meaning stop loss as the lot size is big
when we see explore page of darwinex, we see that traders have different return % and drawdown % and different score
like;

Return (3m) 26.16 %
Drawdown (3m) -4.20 %
Darwinex Score 70.34
------------------------------
Return (3m) 13.45 %
Drawdown (3m) -1.94 %
Darwinex Score 75.73
------------------------------
Return (3m) 12.51 %
Drawdown (3m) -3.56 %
Darwinex Score 75.82
------------------------------
Return (3m) 12.32 %
Drawdown (3m) -3.44 %
Darwinex Score 76.10
------------------------------
Return (3m) 7.26 %
Drawdown (3m) -1.42 %
Darwinex Score 69.50
------------------------------
Return (3m) 6.93 %
Drawdown (3m) -2.61 %
Darwinex Score 69.4


so we can see that their main focus is not on return %, if it is 2% per month, it is fine
their focus is on keeping the drawdown % very low , ratio being like 3:1, 4:1, 5:1

He will be back.
When you monetize some data you can provide rebates for sure or run points systems based on your return from the data and have rewards tied to it. But if you have to audit everything correctly for a regulator then its no longer a good idea beyond charity. And no one is here for charity.

Its very interesting the timing of the MFF case even though its a year old investigation the time the trigger was pulled seems to be almost the exact same time that some systems were to be applied.

People like Josh with overactive prefrontal cortex cannot sit still, I believe he will come back. I know him.
Its all about MAR ratio. CAGR divided by max DD
