It's not the END! Prop Trading is here to stay.

The exponential growth of prop firms has caught the attention of regulators, likely due to complaints and concerns about potential financial misconduct.
Outside of the US, finding the right prop firm with the right business model and relationships is crucial for success in prop trading.

Yes. You're forced to daytrade which is a big turn off for me. Also, the challenges are more expensive with monthly fees making the barrier to entry higher.

Thanks for this video, I was panicking. As a trader who isn't based in the US it just didn't make sense to me having the Metaquotes platformed removed. I'm on a challenge with TFT currently and I'm hoping at the very least they do what FTMO did and offer MT4/5 to traders based outside the US

Hi 👋🏻

[@Fundscap]

Let's be objective; prop trading is a good niche, not for every trader, but for those who have at least basic knowledge of risk management. Generally, the first stage, the challenge, is easily overcome by someone with such calmness. As for regulations, the industry will adjust and adapt. What happens next, time will tell

[@thecitytraderscom]

true, nothing is for all because we all have different style, strategies etc.

Through the challenge model. You can join and apply for funding and when you pass the assessment we will fund you. Visit our website at thecitytraders.com for more details.

[@bertkrotz6165]

if someone could please answer this question, I'd really appreciate it. Do ALL forex prop firms rely on CFDs? Because if so, I really don't see how the US traders could see the light of day on this one... Really hoping some sort of regulatory guidelines for prop firms come about that allow US traders to access prop firm trading, have spent multiple months studying the forex market, just began demo trading, and so far have had great consistency in my efforts (so far that is loll) & would be really disappointed to ultimately find out that accessing a prop firm won't be possible. I understand that in the video it was mentioned that the US prop industry is not over, which does give me hope, but I truly don't understand how this industry will survive in the US if it relies on CFDs... any info would be greatly appreciated, I really love trading & was really looking forward to owning a funded account by the end of the year or the beginning of next year.

[@thecitytraderscom]

As per video , you can take a futures prop. Forex pairs are limited , EURUSD is ok for liquidity

I was all excited about your prop firm until I saw 1:10 leverage. I tried trading with 1:30 leverage and it was taking forever to make 10% on an account

Sometimes it doesn't matter as much as you'd think. Because some brokers contract specs are different especially for CFDs....the multiplier is 10x bigger.

[@josiahpayne2676]

I trade wit 1:30 with FTMO and Im gonna ask them to reduce mine. If you cant make 10% ina decent time, something is going on with your strategy.

Can anyone explain to me why the US doesnt allow CFDs?🤔

[@rouano1]

I think it's because it competes with the US futures markets.

[@alescukambembo8799]

CFDs are over-the-counter products so when there was the subprime crisis with toxic and derivative products like CDOs and MBS in 2000's which are traded over-the-counter then the competent authorities Have decided to no longer authorize over-the-counter products because it will cause one of the worst crises in 2007 and 2008 since 1929, this is the reason for the ban on CFDs in the USA.

It was my understanding that prop firms made their money via successful traders, but I may have been wrong... It seems they are floating the business with failed tests by potential traders. Now, if that is the case.. I don't see how this industry will stay afloat. Why can't they just be legit about it, and run the business as intended instead of running a shady business which intentionally fails potential traders with hard to pass rules, etc..??? I'm not sure they truly want to payout to anybody... I'm wondering how widespread this type of business is in the prop firm space. Also, I thought US citizens couldn't use MT 4 and 5, because it was a Russian software and sanctions made it where it couldn't be used.

[@Golby88]

Prop firms make their money from sold challenges and ever since MFF got their ass kicked most prop firms are now clearly stating on their website that the profits you make when funded are demo. Only the most consistent funded traders are being A booked or directly switched to live accounts. The business model is not the issue as long as it's clearly stated on the website and within the contracts and as long as they give the payouts. The issue is that some prop firms are very shady and these are the ones that will get their asses kicked also

[@titopp123]

the thing with the prop business model is they rely on people failing and taking challenges over, what happens when traders stop taking challenges in masses? how will they payout then?@@Golby88
