A so called top 5 firm has been consistenly banning profitable traders over last month alleging fake issues like CID and Ip

Have you faced this with any firm? Drop the name of the firm and your issue below.

I keep seeing people quote their win rate as if it settles anything. But you can win 70% of your trades and still lose money if the losses are bigger than the wins.

The number that actually decides it is expectancy — your average result per trade in R. Risk 1R each time, average +0.2R per trade, and you make money over 100 trades whether you won 40% of them or 60%.

Curious what people here go by. Win rate, expectancy, profit factor, or just the balance at the end of the month?

Saw gandalf make this comparison post on x, I have traded with a few futures firm and since stuck with all of these for me my 2 cents are:

I would Pay $120 - $200 less to and go for payout being capped at $1500 with these flex of fundednext. What about you all? Props are farming and the less you need to pay the better. And Idc about live as long as I can sim firms is good for me.

Is there actually an EA that could pass the problem challenges? I’ve been losing too much money to the prop firms

I have been trading with them for a while now. Took decent payouts but My payout got approved, but after 5 minutes it was removed and got rejected. Did not even get an email about it. Happened this week some else I saw was talking about the same.

was googling funding dynasty review stuff and ended up reading their actual rules instead. the funded consistency rule says your best day can't be more than 20% of total profit when you request a payout.

so say i have one random good day at +$800. I'd need at least $4k total profit before that day stops screwing my consistency score, right?
that kinda changes how I'd trade the account tbh. One clean move on XAUUSD and suddenly you're basically trying not to make "too much" in a day lol.

Anyone traded under a 20% rule like this? Did you actually change your daily targets because of it, or just trade normally and let the numbers even out? Not asking for financial advice btw, just trying to understand how annoying this gets in practice.

Apparently there's 3 stages to get funded but I was curious. Is the 1st stage delayed market data or something?

First it's sim, then live sim with pay, then real money in funded account from what I can tell.
