@vedictrades
Жыл бұрын
I agree, I do not understand why is he indirectly trying to call out Apex, logically, a gambler trader is better of buying apex accounts at 90% off and losing them than go for TST accounts at full price. Even more, TST does not offer anything better than apex, apex even has a-higher drawdown limit on their challenges. Plus the monthly activation fee is very good for traders who got their first PA account, as the chances they will lose a PA account is high and personally I would not pay a one-time fee until I feel I'm consistent with my trading. I've never seen APEX get involved in petty drama or prop-firm bashing, and the bs about growing the trading community as a whole is getting old. Prop-firms are there to make money, they can only survive if people lose money, and there is nothing wrong with that.

The model of apprenticeship or a collateral payment for a possibility of a funded account aka 'prop shops' have existed for decades. It's just that now the entry into them is quite low cost Vs thousands $ that they used to cost means more people know about them.

Let it slip about his 'SRO' "best way to gov- (ern)". There should be strong regs for scams but free enterprise so that competition forces these companies to improve and get rid of annoyances like equity trailing stop, payout limits and other, obvious predatory and shady practices. SRO's are always susceptible to conflict of interest. Also, as a trader grinding extremely hard, I'm not interested in your 'development' as a cop out for annoying rules. I just want the best deal, platform + integration flexibility, contract flexibility, and quick and easy payouts. The 5 contract limit on the 50K account is annoying.. can't run enough micros for gains, and if using mini's you'll be overleveraged or lacking runner flexibility on trades. Fix that sht, or make the '100K equivalent' account cheaper with a bigger drawdown to match the ratio on the 50.

@@FrozenSkyy However, - Topstep is more cost upfront (small 20-30% discounts) - and less drawdown (only $1k daily and $2k overall drawdown) - BUT the daily isn't a rule break (anymore!) and next day you can continue - and the max trailing drawdown only gets updated daily (not intraday) - AND NO FEE once you're funded, initially, as they put you in the Express Funded acct. which is demo and they don't even charge data fees. Only once you've been consistently profitable, they will move you to LIVE (just like Apex, but you do pay $85 monthly from the start with Apex or $140 fixed for live-time fee) and only in LIVE account with Topstep do you pay about $125 per exchange monthly (I only trade CME and I think most people do) WITHDRAWAL is also personal taste what you prefer: - Apex requires 10 trading days (lose or win) and - take any amount out once you're above your ($2,5k) drawdown (at own risk, I would suggest at least double the drawdown before you take any out) - and min is (right now) $500 and max is $2k per 2 weeks (fixed times during the month that you can request withdrawal) for first 4 months - First $25k is 100% (!) profit share, 90% after, - Topstep is $10 100% profit share and 90% after - Topstep is only 5 days for withdrawal, but has to make $100/day or more! - Initially can only take out 50% of your profits (but no $ limits) until you choose to close the account

I like what I’m hearing. I went with a cheaper challenge and I failed because I hit the max daily drawdown. I thought I would just get locked out until the next day but it failed me. I like that this company invests into the traders. I definitely want to look more into this. Right now I’m on a $10k demo and figure when I get the account to $11k, I’ll pay for another challenge. I’m almost there. I was mad one day and lost $1,500 on one trade and decided to take it seriously and made it back in 3 days so I’m gaining confidence.

TST is one of the most controversial funding companies. They have always offered garbage deals for traders. I don't doubt they payout and they invented the "pay for tryout model". But, real prop has always been about scaling up traders. Without a scale up for actual firm capital, no reason to do it. TST always changed rules, added rules to fail traders, extra steps, etc. They are one of the worst. No reason anyone should use them when better options like APEX exist. Of course, they TST don't you have to have multiple accounts-- the kind that would allow a trader to make real money. Money you make is money they risk.

I was paid once based on a 10 day period at the beginning of March. I then traded another 10 day period and requested a payout; they denied the 2nd payout based on 1 of the days in the first [already approved] period representing more than 30% on their consistency rule. They denied it 3 times (one through the site, twice from low level reps), then someone in customer service acknowledged that they were wrong. They banned my account then.
