FUNDED TRADING ACCOUNTS: What No One Tells You! (FTMO, 5%ers, AxiSelect)

Are you looking to get a funded trading account?

[@corrymalema3948]

Yes Etienne am ready to trade I have been trading a demo for almost 7months and last year November I started profiting with my strategy till now am profiting ever time but there are some losses and I take them as a lessons

Yes bro . but i am passing the evaluation test before i apply for the evaluation test ..... if that makes sense.

[@mohamedosman6611]

Yes please

[@Tradewithjoee]

Do you want to fund me?

[@angelmendez7651]

I think a prop firm would be perfect if you are still young and living with parents like me. If your really good the profits you make from the firm can easily go to your own personal retail account and you can thus make 100% of your own capital while working with the firm. BUT ONLY IF YOU GOOD!

[@Charts_champs]

Hi,, can we roll... Still a young trader or pretty young guy but you know still living with parents though I'm consistent

[@primetimeneondeon2423]

[@qqqcalls]

So it basically comes down to, open a mini account. Build your skills and when you have the track record and confidence, apply for a funded account. After using a funded account with success, then use those skills to attract investors.

[@ImmyYousafzai]

Fuck investors, get more funded accounts. There is no limit

[@balikbayan832]

Good thought 🤔

[@Dexion845]

I guess you could say prop firms are investors.

[@kevinkang4427]

[@eyeservantez]

Just to be clear I did trade a demo account for a whole year and also waited till I got a month straight almost trading every day with 500.00 US with no bad trades and another 2 months with 3 bad trades before I felt confident enough to trade big and higher risk.

Don't trade FTMO like you do a personal account. Learn risk reward ratio with a consistent strategy. You have 30 to 60 days, you CAN do this. Trader seed helped me a lot.

[@eyeservantez]

Etiene has been such a valuable avenue to learn about trading. I still remember his quote about back texting vs jumping from method to method that had a bigger impact on my trading than anything.

[@DesireToTRADE]

I'm happy to hear! Let me know if I can help in any way!

[@Zbicasso]

In my opinion it’s good to go with funded even if you won’t prepare, you got there set up rules you have to stick them, it’s good to get it to your habit, it’s risk management at list 10 days of trading etc, you have to be consistent, there are some funded account with no need challenge but you have to go for appointment.

Lowest for FTMO is like 155£ its really not that bad if you want to challenge yourself, you will probably liquidate a few 200£ accounts anyways when you start learning this. And also if you can make a 3-5k a month in the end that is more the enough to save up money to fund your OWN account. no reason to to stress into a thing like this, try the challenge when you are profitable with real money, NOT DEMO, they are 2 separate things.

[@eyeservantez]

Oh I almost forgot to answer. I am currently not looking for a funded account I have made 2,000 since I started trading a month ago with 1,000 brought my total to 3,000. I do think about going to a prop firm but I really like trading on higher time frames like daily and up because the patterns are more reliable. I however had no choice but to switch to a smaller time frame and reduced size because of the market conditions. I also noticed markets are more leaning to Supply/Demand lately. I'm not sure if these props firms would fit my style or if I even need them right now.

[@thumperbumper8428]

Eyes Servantez one month ago???? Ok then

[@phosoa8965]

you are the one paying for the funded account, you trade how u wanna trade as long as its within there risk limits, they are never gonna stand in your way, there aim is to find good traders always remember that, they want someone else to trade there money so they don't have to, some give you a whole year before they fund you that's zero pressure in my eyes

I think the negatives you state for a prop firm are far outweighed by the positive. If you think that you can only pay the bills with a $100k or $1.2 million account then I need to get out more!

[@DesireToTRADE]

In general yes. However the option of getting capital from private investors instead of prop firms can be better for a lot of traders.

I tried to open a company in Estonia by their e-residency program, to trade for prop-firms via that company. The problem is that no one want to deal with businesses related to forex trading, especially in Europe, under Mifid II new rules. Seems like prop-trading concept it's pretty vague in the mind of legislators across the world. I'm curious if you have a video about how to set a company, or set yourself as a self-employed and avoid these stupid regulations. It seems they really make a confusion between trading OPM and trading for a prop-firm. They tell you that you have be licensed even to trade for prop firms, and it's seems that this subject is quite vague even on the internet. You won't find clear answers. What do you think?

Yes and even though this comment is from a year ago I want to left this for people to know: let's say a prop firm 100k account has a max drawdown of 3k, it means if you go less than that the account is closed then based on that they're not giving you 100k but 3k, if you have 3k on your own you'ld do the same you'ld do with them: loose money or make profit my advise is if you don't have 3k but a couple hundreds then start with them and once you make a couple thousands go on your own so you don't give 20% of your hard work To these liars *I'm not native English speaker*

You say that the evaluation fee is so they don't lose money... but it costs them nothing for them to open a demo account for your evaluation. There is literally no good justification to pay for a test.

[@DesireToTRADE]

It’s a protection for the drawdown when you get live. You could pass the challenge and hit the max drawdown on the live account. Then the prop firm would lose money.

Is there a list of real prop-firms?
