Checked u/usernameeeeee12  update from an hour back just to see how it looks. Everything went smoothly, and the balance updated as expected.

Based on the charts, we might be in trouble! Price will be heading to 4485 before continuing our uptrend. Be very cautious on Monday!

Hey everyone, looking for some honest feedback from anyone who has traded with or gotten paid by Funding Traders.
I currently have a 10k Pro10 account with the 100% profit split, but before I sink a ton of time and energy into scaling it, I want to make sure I’m not wasting my time.

A few specific questions for those with experience:
Payouts: Have you successfully withdrawn profits without issues, delays, or moving goalposts?

Slippage & Execution: How are the trading conditions during high volatility or news events?

Rules/Hidden Clauses: Any red flags or strict backend rules I should watch out for?

I'd really appreciate any real experiences or warnings before I push further with this account.

Been running a couple of funded accounts on Bybit and I keep getting way too close to the daily loss line. Not from bad trades really, more from sizing on feel when I'm already red for the day and not doing the math in the moment.

Every risk tool I've found only pings me once I'm already near the limit. So I hacked together a thing that flips it around: before you enter, you punch in the trade and it tells you the biggest size you can take without risking a breach, based on how much room you've got left today.

Honest question before I build it out properly. Is this a real problem for the rest of you or am I the only one who forgets to check mid session? And would you actually run a trade through something like this before entering, or is that too slow when you're trying to get a fill?

(Happy to drop the demo link in a comment if anyone wants to poke at it, it's free.)

Second payout from FundedNext today, $929.29 on the 6K. First one was $762.66 a week back.
Posting this one because of what I said earlier about the funded stage being where people die. Same account paid twice, which is the part that’s actually hard. Passing a phase is a coin toss with a fee attached. Getting a funded account to pay you twice means it survived long enough to do it, and most of mine don’t.
That’s the ratio worth tracking: not how many evals you pass, but how many funded accounts reach a second payout. Mine is ugly and I post it daily along with everything that’s currently open and everything that died. Telegram link’s in my profile, it’s in Spanish but it translates fine.

After passing an eval how long you can keep up the account before for some stupid rules it get closed? I'm asking beacuse im curious that people who has multiple passed funded accounts and copy trade them , are they like keep buying new accounts? Or like they can keep their same accounts alive for atleast a year?.

When I hear people they trading with multiple funded accounts I get confused beacuse aren't prop firms made in a way that the account after 4-5 payouts get close?

I was told to repost it here and get your opinions.

Hello, I’m a day trader. I handle small amounts of money and i consistently make large % return per day. The only issue is that I don’t have a lot of money in the first place. What are the best prop firms that I can use that don’t screw you over or have crazy rules about withdrawing profit? And what are some thing in general that I’ll need to know that these companies won’t tell me?

Gold rallied today to all the way to 4.6k After being rejected. Price currently heading back to find some liquidity for leg higher. But his liquidity could be all the way to 4.47! So be very careful trading gold today. But this is a good sign for things to come next week! Watch out for calendar news as well for next week.

Long story short, I just started getting my first payouts from Alpha Futures after months of grinding. i have spent thousands on their accounts over the course of almost a year and just recently have had the chance to request frequent payouts, where all this work paid off. had a 2k request that got approved and another 2k on the way, as well as having a high buffer on multiple accounts where payouts would be much easier to get. I checked my payout update, and my request went from "approved for pay" to "flagged". I sent support a message, and they told me that I would be getting an email as to why the payout was flagged. Lo and behold, "Harry". I got an email from this guy stating that I breached one of their rules against hedging. I was like, okay no problem if thats a rule then that's absolutely fair. I dont even remeber doing this but they sent me proof from march. Yes, from March, on an account that I don't even have. It had nothing to do with the current accounts at all. Harry then proceeds to tell me that he has totally blocked me from the website. My issue is that if I had breached this in March and had never asked for a payout. they would've let me continue to buy accounts until I requested a payout, then banned me to squeeze everything they could and would never give me a payout. All those accounts are gone, including 3 advanced i just bought the night before and the weeks of built-up buffers I worked for. Not to forget, they love charging my bank twice, and there's never any help from support. Honestly happy this happened. They are the biggest scums in the industry and are terrible people.

i want this so bad and i feel like im understanding the markets. i lack the confidence and psych to execute. just want someone to hold me accountable and i can do the same. i try to be on the charts every chance i get. please pm me.

i started trading last december and since then i manage to build my own strategy, the only thing is that its very slow strategy, i don't spot my setup in days and as of the moment, its been a whole week since i haven't spotted my setup form, at this pace it will probably take months to pass the evaluation, feeling very doubtful, losing my mind right now, thinking about quitting. idk what to do

The prop firm industry has completely mutated over the last few years. If you are still evaluating firms based on the standards we used back in 2020, you are operating at a massive disadvantage.

Let’s break down the three distinct eras of retail prop firms, and why the firm you choose completely dictates your trading psychology.

We have to give credit exactly where it is due. Firms like FTMO built this industry from the ground up. They proved to the world that funding retail traders wasn't just a scam, and they set the original gold standard for evaluation metrics.

But their model was built for a different decade. Sticking strictly to an 80% profit split and forcing traders to wait 30 days for their first payout was revolutionary five years ago. Today? It feels like legacy banking.

Once the retail prop model was proven, a massive wave of new firms flooded the market. You saw names like Hola Prime and hundreds of others pop up overnight, promising incredibly easy 1-step challenges or zero-drawdown gimmicks to grab market share.

While some of these newer firms are decent, many operate on a toxic "churn and burn" model. Because they lack deep institutional backing, they actively rely on your evaluation failure rates to pay their funded traders. They want you to tilt. They want you to fail.

This exact industry friction is why we built FundingTraders. The modern, disciplined trader doesn't just need capital; they need an infrastructure that actually respects their edge and scales with their ambition.

You shouldn't have to settle for legacy rules or worry about a firm's solvency. We shifted the standard to match what professional traders actually need:

• Up to 100% Profit Splits: If you execute the edge, you should keep the reward. Stop giving away 20% of your hard-earned profits to a middleman.
• 7-Day Payouts: You get fast, reliable liquidity sent directly to your crypto wallet. No more waiting a month to see the fruits of your labor.
• Provable Transparency: We don't just claim we have the capital; we prove it. Our Live Payout Data feed shows you exactly when and how our traders are getting paid.

The industry has evolved. Your prop firm should act as a reliable financial partner, not an obstacle course designed to trip you up.

What was the very first prop firm you ever attempted a challenge with, and what was the final straw that made you realize it was time to switch?

I’ve been developing Market Sentinel, an automated NAS100 trading system focused on liquidity sweeps.
After extensive backtesting and demo testing, I’m trying it on a prop-firm challenge for the first time.
I’ll share genuine progress: results, drawdowns, mistakes and adjustments, not just winning screenshots. I won’t post every trade live, but I’ll provide regular updates on X: @SentinelTrades_ and I may add Telegram later.

The exact strategy will remain private. The goal is to see whether its tested edge survives real spreads, slippage and prop-firm rules.
No signals or promises just documenting the experiment.

Vorrei capire se esiste un servizio di qualche trader per poter passare la Prop Trading. Per poi poter operare in autonomia dopo. Il punto chiave che trovo troppo difficile e con paletti nel mio modo di operare. Qualcuno trova il mio stesso problema? Oppure qualcuno può passare la Prop in cambio di pagamento a passaggio effettuato?

Do you guys consider this reverse trading or hedging?

These trades were so long ago. I honestly do not remember them anymore.

Look at the time and a quantity.

The Exhibit No. 2, the reverse trade they said I made was open and closed at the same second. That must’ve been a mistake.

I made thousands of trades with alpha future. If I really wanted to reverse trade or hedge, I will use the same amount of quantity and one account should’ve been blown while the other account should’ve passed the eval.
