Your post proved what I said, most ET traders are ignorant on prop firms.
Let me compare these two challenges:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
https://finotivefunding.com/
One step challenge:
25000 account,
fixed drawdown: 1875
profit target:2500
duration:unlimited
price:$150 one time fee
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Earn2trade
One step challenge:
Earn2trade 50000 account,
trailing drawdown:2000
profit target:3000
duration: unlimited
price: $136 monthly fee;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Analysis:
1.finotive drawdown is a little less, but it is fixed drawdown, vs trailing drawdown for earn2trade, so on this respect earn2trade is much worse;
2.finotive true profit target is 2500/1875=133%; earn2trade true profit target 3000/2000=150%, so earn2trade challenge is tougher to pass;
3.finotive price is $150 one time fee, earn2trade price is $136 monthly fee.
How many months one needs to pass a challenge? I don't think it is realistic to expect one can make 50% every month. if you assume one makes 20% per month, then he needs 7.5 months to pass challenge, which makes his price totally $1020, compared with finotive $150. So in this respect earn2trade is 680% more expensive than finotive.Besides, once you pass their challenge, and get funded, you will need to pay over $100 monthly exchange fee, which is another disadvantage.
To sum all 3 disadvantages for earn2trade, I estimate earn2trade is roughly 10 times more expensive than finotive.This estimate underestimates the impact of eran2trade's trailing drawdown, as I estimate any trailing drawdown is roughly 2.5 times more tougher than a fixed drawdown of same amount.
This is what you call a best prop firm?
Edit: if you don't believe one needs 7.5 month to pass a challenge, you can ask OP to verify this information. Also I believe in the challenge he passed, he spent less than 7.5 months, but he failed many challenges before he finally passed. So on average he could spend more than 7.5 months to pass one challenge.He could save 90% of his cost if he trade finotive instead.
