Current Topstep XFA situation first time tried GOLD futures and didn't realised its has different contract sizing from DOW. 1mini = 1$ gold move = 100 bucks. So i followed the same 3 contract on it as i do on dow. As usual gold loves to kick me in the b***s. Literally lost the 95% of drawdown. Dow comes to the rescue and Now Climbing back up. 1. Now 1600$ in drawdown on each XFA {image} {image} {image}
great you recovered
I use the practice account when I need to check contract size of an instrument I don’t know.
btw, I lately only trade 1 instrument. That’s well enough

lol....if I tried to lose $201, I guarantee I'd win that trade.

Update from alpha capital Scenario 6th May requested payout 7th May my payout is flagged i redo KYC and got email wait 2-5 business day, 14may i emailed payment team it said need 24-48 hours payment process 17May i got another email need to wait 12-24 hours they have received my email need to pass to senior payment team to resolve payout WT* going on Alpha, is anyone who know i can help report this cunt ? or spread social media? please
May as well wait the 12-24hr now you've waited this long. See what happens and take it from there. Hopefully you were not calling them c unts during the KYC, you know they record the whole process

{quote} Good for you realized just before the end of the day. Same thing happened to my combine as well and i had to pull 1k more to satisfy them.
Got an important phone call and forgot all about it. Guess I'll need to make $3400 to earn the PA now

{quote} no. you just have to get a total of further 1700$ profits no need to lose intentionally. I did 50% in one day and the following day set my target at exactly further 50% I also noticed the size rules is valid only on express and live accounts, while in the combine you can trade full size. if I was full size (5 contracts) I would have got 5k the first day and 5k the following. lol
Actually it makes sense to lose that extra $200 intentionally. Now I have to make $1700 more instead of $1500

Just went to pay my PA fee for an APEX 50K and got this message when clicking the payment link. You know business is booming when they can't even take your money.

Just remembered. Last round I had a payment issue, they gave me a WhatsApp number to contact. I'll see DM you the number once I find it in my email.

Some have opted to go the rithmic route with Quantower. It has a built copy function.

Any FX Prop firm evaluations worth purchasing given recent events in the industry? Appears as if just taking small payouts and flying under the radar is the way to go…

Have the same conundrum. Have Alpha and the5ers funded at the moment. Blew my FTMO a few months back after I got warned. Wondering if it's worth trying them again with a different strategy of lower lots.
Considering ICFunded, FundedNext and CTI as well. Anyone with opinions on these 3?
A bit leery of the other firms.

Edit:
Just to add. A bit worried about the sustainability of Alpha after they tried to get that influencer with the failed prop onboard (can't recall his name or the prop's name now) and I saw they had a few 100k payouts recently.
FTMO has been tightening the screws on certain trading styles that could give big payouts, but I guess it might be more sustainable. Was pissed off with the warning at that time, but maybe they'll be around longer because of this.
I know the5ers are also doing something similar as FTMO in limiting traders they deem aggressive.
CTI has built in rules and lower leverage as well. Looks OK from the outside.

well, ok, depends on anyone’s perception of the rule.
they made the rule to avoid people ultra sizing a trade and reach the goal in 1 day so at least you have to be profitable 2 days.
later on the express and live accounts you will have to size the trades and the number of trades, based on the scaling plan.
on the 50k starting is 2 contracts so you can have a 2 contracts trade or 2x1contract trades running

they clearly don’t want you to oversize unless you give them proof you know what you are doing

Not Just Booming --> to the MOON.... I did my part and went Beyond so no one will have payout issues with APEX.
1. Paid one time full for 20x50k PA accounts.
2. Purchased 250kx20 evals for Yolo'ing
3. Purchased 20x50k evals for backup

At this point i'll give my pin of my bank account to Apex to add as many evals on my behalf.

right now nothing is safe.
1. FundedNext - check their rules section they have alot of hidden rules. I remember in my last eval they breached my account of some IP bS need to fight with support alot to get it back then YOLO lost.

Personal Opinion no matter what FTMO is the Best Right now in terms of safety. Purchase their Swing account to be more safe. You wont ever get warning for overleveraging coz you cant do it or 5%ers as alot have good experience over here.

Basically they are ok with me making $1500 on one trade but not $1700 on 6 different trades. Make sense.

Im all in on Tradovate. Don't do copy trading. When I first tried Topstep 6 or 7 years ago I think they had Ninja or Rhithmic. Can't remember but it gave me a headache.

So it hit my Limit order. In action on two firms. Topstep funded and 20x50k backup Apex Evals.

These are my personal A+ setups. Hoping to see tp hit in this hour or max next hour.
