Have decided that the notion of a Trailing Draw Down limit that runs up with un-booked mid trade profits, is completely and utterly beyond the pale......it is almost as though these firms want you to fail so they can just keep taking subscription fees off hapless wannabe traders. (I guess there...

A tip for the NinjaTrader devs. Allow for the most simple trade execution tool out there. Bracket orders, with a limit entry. And make it simple and straightforward. Not clunky, convoluted, and prone to crapping out.....cos crapping out with real money on the table is not acceptable. Don't...

Probably not. 100% algo like rationality will likely be the order of the day at most firms.... ......but like I said, for every valid setup you can find aiming in one direction, I could find another aiming in the opposite direction. How does one differentiate on which thesis to run with, and...

Wouldn't write off intuition tbh. I have a bundle of setup theses and variations on those, but for almost every winner, and almost every loser, I could easily apply a setup from the same bundle of trade configs taking the opposite thesis. Trick is having a good feel for the market and then...

Problem with the 'Real Proprietary Firms', is that A) You need to work out of an office, which would involve for the vast majority of people relocating thousands of miles. B) You will be forced onto using their systems. C) All the other b.s. that goes with working in a corporate environment...

Yeah, I have kind of figured that these online 'prop' trader firms are there primarily to take trader's money off them in subscription and reset fees....... ..........but a tiny minority of traders, do get funded, and do extract meaningful sums of money out of the market through these firms...

I am looking for reviews and feedback on the various Prop firm from serious traders who have used these platforms, got funded, and got paid! (or if they didn't get paid, I would certainly like to hear about those examples as well). Thus far, I have checked out, Topstep OneUp Earn2Trade...
