There is only one way to make sure you pass a 100k a challenge the difference is here it's not your money like it's name is it's a challenge you will never trade the same way on your personal account for many reasons the first one being anxiety let's say you are up 5k then you bounce back to 98k you will start to sink hard and you will lose the challenge and they know this and they like this so going all out is the only way you have CPI PPi NFP 10 lots on gold sell stop buy stop if you have a good AI to do that I have had 8 challenges and passed 6 from 2020 till here and that's the only way I found myself succeeding in getting through both step 1 and step 2

[@lylel3471]

This is true, however the statistic is of the percentages of accounts that pass. Losing traders take a ton of challenges and fail them all so this off sets the statistic. It also may take profitable traders a few goes before passing too and we know that the majority of traders aren't profitable so that's why the percentage is so low. And the firms that do survive back the most profitable traders and copy their trades on to their live funds

[@domosilv1365]

​​@@darius39351not exactly true unless you're already good at trading using a prop firm just makes it cheaper for you to make money. Think about it, if you manage risk well on a prop firm account you'll make profit by spending less for a larged funded account therefore you're actually risking little. If you had $500 to invest in trading instead of using all of it in a live account you can use half of it in a prop firm to get a 20k account or 10k account. Then make profits from that which psyout would be 80% of that. If you're consistent and make 5% a week that's more profit on a 20k acc than what you'd get if you have just deposited a $500 live account and got 5% a week.

I made consistent profits with MFF. I make consistent profits with FTMO. I make consistent profits with TFF. I have recently been paid by TFT. I'm doing challenges with other companies at the time of this comment. I have been making money from prop firms for over 2 years. Stop being a chump and learn how to trade instead of looking for reasons why you can't win. I don't give a shit if they're demo accounts as long as I get paid. That is the whole reason for diversification. You guys all get too invested in what the firms are doing instead of just trading and getting paid. If the firm goes under, then I move on. Big deal. If you don't like this model, start yourself a $100k account with your own money........if you can.

Of course, they give you a demo account. After you pass your challenge, then your demo account is linked into their real account so you ( they ) can make money...

Attaching even passed challenge accounts to real accounts would require tons of capital and be a very risky business model. I highly doubt trades are being copied into real accounts except for the most consistent traders that have been with firms for years
