You have many misunderstandings on this issue.
If you want to trade prop firms you need to learn to pick up good value.
First you need to understand drawdown is the funds you get from prop firms , not the nominal account value that prop firms claim.Compare the fee you pay and drawdown, you have a sense if it is a good value for you.
Then you compare profit target with drawdown, you will find the profit target is not 10% prop firms claim , but it is actually 150% or 200% .The formular is : profit target / drawdown = real profit target.
Now you said if you can make consistent profit, you will have no problem trading prop firms account.
I say you will have big problem here.
If you have a real profit target of 117%, and you are charged $150 monthly fee, for a 1500 drawdown challenge, and assume you can make 10% monthly return consistently, then you will need 12 months to reach your profit target, therefore you pay $1800 for $1500 fund from prop firm. Not only this, you split profit with prop firm for the profit from this $1500. It is much worse than trading your own $1800 .
I have many misunderstandings? You think I am so stupid, that I don't realize the total draw down is actually the account size and not the account value they use for marketing? I almost would be offended by this, but I have to actually thank you for taking time out of your day to correspond with someone that you think is such an idiot they can't figure that out.
I already said the program is not for people that do not have a true intra-day edge. There is no reason it should take you longer than one month, two at absolute max to pass any test / challenge.
As far as value, I waited for a sale on the accounts and picked one up for under $60.00. So, for $60.00 I got 500 points of MES risk (minus commissions). That's almost like a free account basically (again assuming you can actually trade).
(1) I passed it in one month
(2) The company I am with does not take a profit split for the first $8,000.00.
(3) Once you pass the challenge, you do not get charged the recurring fee every month. Some companies charge you a one time fee after that to activate the account, others charge you monthly data. But in either case you are not paying the full amount each month or after the initial payment you have no monthly fee's at all.
Once I've withdrawn / as I am withdrawing that amount, not only do I have the option to use some of that money to buy more accounts from the same or additional companies on sale, I could also start my own personal account if I chose to. Right now I see no reason to risk my own money in futures and will continue to do these until they stop paying.
After showing you I understand what you're saying, explaining the value and no offence but you actually stated some incorrect information yourself that I corrected.
What now would you like to correct me on? Considering you're correcting me on things I am literally already doing and have done. It does seem kind of ridiculous, but go ahead let's go another round.
