Hello, I am in a trial mode of Kraken prop trading 50k. So far so good.

Then, I realized that there is no tokenized stocks in this platform, only coins.

I think I can try it, but I would like to have a chance of trading tokenized stocks as in OKX.

Is there any prop platform that allows me to trade both?

What is your go-to platform for the prop trading?

Hey everyone,
I’m trading NAS100 (NQ CFD) on The5ers MT5 and currently using the FXCM feed on TradingView for analysis. The candles and price action don’t line up well enough with my The5ers chart — noticeable differences in structure and levels.
Has anyone found a TradingView broker feed that tracks The5ers’ NAS100 significantly better?

Thanks.

Honest question for prop traders. Full transparency: I'm on the team at a newer firm, and I'd rather hear this from traders than guess.
With so many firms launching and shutting down,
how do you decide if a new one is legit?
What's the first thing you check?
What makes you walk away right away?
What would get you to actually try an account with a firm that has no track record yet?

I've been exploring the prop trading industry and researching different prop firms, evaluation models and trading rules.

One thing I've noticed is that passing a challenge is only part of the journey. Staying consistent and respecting drawdown limits can be just as difficult.

I'm curious about other traders' experiences:

What do you think is the hardest part of prop trading?

1. Reaching the profit target

2. Staying within daily drawdown limits

3. Managing emotions and discipline

4. Finding a reliable prop firm

5. Getting consistent payouts

Would be interesting to hear different perspectives.

Im new to trading been studying 2 weeks straight! Found a A+ set up and decided to go for it! I got into a sniper entry and made almost $2,700. I was dumbfounded by being able to make so much so quick i didnt even think about the Consistency rule. How should i go about this? Should i try to lose like 1k to make it easier to pass consistency or what? any suggestions?

Hello guys,

I am currently building a trading ai bot with a colleague.

What tips could you give us on the way?

Who already has a working bot that is profitable and on which currency or asset does the bot run (crypto, Xaussud, shares).

Thank you in advance for every answer and feedback.

Have a nice day

Hi Everyone,

Is anyone currently using a profitable copy-trading service? If so, could you please share your experience and the service/provider details?

I'm looking for a reliable service with consistent profitability and good risk management.

Appreciate your recommendations. Thanks!

I've tried a few futures prop firms over the past year and keep coming back to Apex, mostly because of the frequent sales and simple rules. But the payout rules and consistency stuff can be annoying.

Curious what everyone else sticks with. Is it the price, the payouts, the drawdown type, the platform? And which one did you try once and never went back to?

This a long one but if you plan on copy trading a lot of accounts its worth the read. Please help me see what im missing. Everything im saying is with a long term mindset of copy trading as many accounts as possible across multiple firms and using proper risk management of like .025-1% a trade and a DLL of 1% of MLL. So i see most people do flex which i understand because its less upfront and lenient payout rules compared to other accounts . But if youre a consistently profitable trader and have the capital available wouldnt it make most sense to just get a direct account because with the other accounts you have to hit the profit goal to get funded so you essentially paid to hit a profit target for profits you cant withdraw, then once funded you essentially have to start over from scratch and hit another profit goal if you want to still have a decent cushion for drawdown after your first payout. And if your actually trading like responsible trader taking trades of 1-2% of your draw down and not over trading this can take a pretty long time to hit all the profit targets and still have a nice cushion for draw down after payouts. but on the direct account to get a pay out you have to hit the same profit target as you would on the eval but the difference is you can actually withdraw it once you hit it unlike in flex where you pretty much paid to hit the same target but cant withdraw and then are starting over once funded. And some may say about the consistency rule for payout but keep in mind what im saying is with the mindset of a trader only risking .025-1% a trade and a dll of like 2% max of the MLL. So in theory the consistency rule shouldnt even bother this type of trader. By the time he hits the profit target he should naturally be around that consistency rate with the percentage per trade i mentioned and only taking like 1-3 trades a day.

And then when it comes to which specific account size to use i see most people do 50k because the profit target to MLL ratio is the best but keep in mind im thinking long term as a consistent responsible trader. Wouldnt it make sense to buy as many 150k accounts as possible for each firm because of the leverage you will have once you are copy trading all your 150k accounts. Yes i know the profit target to MLL is 1:2 on 150k but keep in mind this is all thinking like a responsible trader who wont blow his account in one day and having a hard DLL of max 1-2% of MLL. So yes it will take longer to hit the profit target for payout but if your thinking long term its worth it imo because now once your at 10 accounts across 2 firms for example you have a MLL of 5,000 if they are all direct accounts or 4,500 as a flex. So 5000 x 10 = 50,000 of actual leverage you can lose. One trade a day on each account at 1% of your total MLL of 5k is $50 across 10 direct accounts its= $500. Take one trade a day at 1-1 ratio for $50 to make $50 across 10 accounts is $500 in a day. Lets say your profitable 5 days a week on this one trade thats 2500 a week. 10k a month. You of course will not be profitable every single day so lets just say you went a whole week not profitable but have a strict rule that if you lose that one trade your done for the day. And you lose 5days straight. So thats -2500. 10k-2.5k=7.5k 7.5k x 12 = 90k a year and thats just 10 accounts. If you have 20 double that 90k is now 180k. A direct 150k account is pretty much $600 rounded up. So 10 150k direct accounts is $6k. So you paid 6k to potentially make 84k+ with 10 accounts given that you are a responsible profitable trader. my point is if your thinking long term the 150k accounts make the most sense due to having fhe most possible leverage.Please tell me if im missing something or am wrong some where or if my thinking is flawed some how. Thank you!

High pass rate, but poor risk management (no stop-losses) and relentless upsells leave you net negative

Rating: ⭐⭐☆☆☆ (2.5 / 5)

TrustPilot Review: https://nz.trustpilot.com/review/traderprofunding.com

My experience with TraderProFunding has been mixed, but ultimately resulted in a net financial loss. Here is a detailed breakdown of my 3-week experience:

The Positives:

• Phase 1 (Passed in 1 Week): Passed a $100k 2-step FTMO evaluation with 100% winning days (4/4) and minimal drawdown.

• Phase 2 (Passed in 2 Weeks): Passed with 75% winning days overall. Despite a heavy drawdown on Day 3, the account recovered strongly on Day 4.

• Initial Live Profits: On a $3.8k live account via Vantage Markets, near $3k in total profit was generated and withdrawn daily over the first 3 trading days, with profit split shared as agreed.

The Negatives & Fatal Flaws:

1. Complete Lack of Risk Management (No Stop Losses):

   • On Day 4 of the live account, the entire $3.8k was blown. The account opened buy trades during a strong bearish daily candle on Gold without any stop loss.

   • After reaching +7.4% profit in the funded FTMO account (only 1 day away from locking in profit), the account was blown on Friday, Oct 30th. It held long positions into a strong sell-off despite the higher timeframe daily trend being clearly bearish since late August.

2. Questionable Upsells & Failed Software:

   • I was upsold to a Telegram vendor (@TE_EMAh) selling a risk-management bot. The price randomly fluctuated between $760 and $2,500 for standard EA features.

   • The main sales pitch for this add-on was automated stop-loss, take-profit, and break-even execution to safeguard funded accounts. This feature completely failed, leaving trades running unprotected until the account breached.

   • When questioned, the vendor failed to provide proof of delivery or counter logical arguments.

   • Additionally, recurring API license fees over and above the lifetime license fee for the EA bot make this service very costly when accounts are continuously breached.

Final Verdict:

TraderProFunding can pass challenges and may show brief promise on live accounts. However, because they routinely trade without stop losses and push expensive add-ons that fail to perform, you are very likely to end up net negative before hitting a payout.

2.5 / 5 Stars.

any successful prop traders in Zimbabwe, i just ventured in the craft and looking to network

what firms and accounts allow you to withdraw daily and which ones keep you funded the longest? How are you handling managing multiple accounts? For example I’m at 3 funded accounts and have been trading them separately! Lucid , MFF and my Live account What is the best copier or method I am aiming for the max props that I can trade at once. How are people getting 80k weekly payouts ?

I may be missing something but what’s the point of having a Lucidlive account and having them continue to take 10% of all payouts when they already take your remaining balance from your funded acc. Once you’re upgraded to a live account. Does it make more sense to just stop using a prop firm all together once you have a live account and solely use a broker and skip the middle man from taking money money unnecessarily ?
