It will be interesting how changing the country of prop firm from U.S. to UK will affect taxes for foreign traders. Were there any other online prop-trading company operating from Europe for such scale? From what I have seen here, with Helios you had to apply for U.S. taxpayer ID and you paid...

Are you sure you will be able to trade the same size with your own money? You must take into account required margin levels.

Interesting. Curious if it will be newly founded company or more established one.

When passing The Gauntlet, is it obligatory to trade on a sim until you reach 5k profit? Even though it is treated as live account I wouldn't feel comfortable getting "paid" for trading the sim. Also, in this scenario I am trading against the company, and my profit is your loss.

It was repeated many times here that after passing The Gauntlet you join Helios as a limited partner. Can someone say if I have any liabilities related to this? What if at some point the company goes into debt? Do I share the responsibility then? Or, I just make no financial contribution to the...

Sorry I'm still a little bit confused. Could you please help and explain on the below example? Account balance: Month 1: +2,000 Month 2: -1,000 Month 3: +2,000 No withdrawals from trader during this time. For the first month Helios takes 20% ($400), leaving the trader with $1,600. No profit...

Hi Alex - would you be able to tell if this option is still considered by Axia?

Is it confirmed? The Tryout has moved with Merritt to Apteros? What about the traders that were trading with SMB through their program? They just lose the money they invested in the Tryout?

Is there any chance we will be able to search/sort posts based on number of "likes" they received? There must be a lot of insightful comments here that I am missing without such feature.

The word "annually" caught my attention here. Does this mean that I can re-activate the demo on the platform that I was using back in 2019?

I tested one of trading platforms last year but didn't have enough time to use it. I was wondering if I could re-activate the demo. I am not trading real money, but interested in returning to trading intraday in a live environment.

I think I have seen here on ET that you are allowed to 2 weeks of free CME live market data a year on demo - not able to locate it. Is this true and I can re-activate the demo on the trading platform I use? Last used in 2019.

Have you started trading live yet? Or still waiting for account setup

Would be interested if anyone passed their Tryout while having full-time job? Seems very difficult when they require you to "put in the work each day with preparation & review" and when having very limited time for trading each day

Looks like Tryout is no longer available. Gone from their online page

Too bad it's available only for few selected countries.

I think their equity trading desk was (is?) successful but don't know how futures division is doing.

From what I understand, you do not partake in the $3,000 loss? And there is no trailing max drawdown as in other similar programs. Yes I would be interested in joining a company with successful traders living from day-trading, that is why I am looking at them. 50% profit split seems high though...

Well that's the most difficult part. I'm not an expert in this either. I try to assess the significance of the news, if it's changing the status quo. Then I decide if I would rather be long or short. But the market does not always agree.

I don't think you can develop an advantage based on free Twitter sources. There is a reason professionals pay for audio squawk services or Bloomberg terminal. Not to mention that you will always be slower than algos reading the headlines. The best thing you can do, in my opinion, is to look for...
