I hope the money you get for being Netanyahu's internet bot is at least worth the nonsense you constantly spew on this topic in order to justify one of the biggest genocides in the last 100 years, which, thank God, the whole world can see.

yeah, many traders use prop firms to access larger capital with strict risk rules, allowing consistent trading. However, some firms delay or refuse withdrawals, so it's vital to research and choose reputable ones.

That is why you go with the industry OGs, who have been in the game for a long time, have 99% of the time positive reviews. and avoid those shady UAE or some Caribbean countries based ones.

They are maybe more expensive, but you will get paid 100% as fast as possible.

Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Chavillier deal with PSG is almost done, the player and PSG already have agreed on terms, now we are waiting for the teams to agree. Which is raising questions, where will be the next stop for Donnaruma? Obviously he is not going to accept being a bench player for one season, but he also has only just one year contract with them, meaning he will not be worth what he would worth if he had 4+ season contract.

The biggest possibility is Manchester United, lets face it Onana sucks and they need to get a new goalkeeper, and getting Donnaruma, could make it insanely good for them. They just need to spend some money for him, and I am sure they can agree on a 30 million deal, which should be possible for United to pay up. If they do, then they will finally have one great transfer they need done.

The problem with that "potential" transfer isn't the transfer fee, it's the salary. Donnarumma is reportedly demanding around 21–22 million per year from PSG. I doubt he would expect less from a potential new club if no deal is struck with PSG, especially since he'd come for a "small" transfer fee (25–30–40 million?) due to his expiring contract. Does he even want to join United without CL football probably for the next 2-3 years?

The main thing the new ownership group at United is aiming for is reducing their wage bill, since they have the second-biggest payroll in the entire league, which is crazy when you think about it, only behind City. They've offloaded Rashford and his salary for now, and are looking to offload Garnacho and Antony too. Casemiro is semi-washed, and pretty much nobody wants him except some Saudi clubs, but he doesn't want to go or give up his big salary at United. I doubt they want to give Donnarumma that much, but hey, I might be wrong.

Prop firms that offer challenges or entry qualifications for a fee are basically scams.

They make their money by demanding users to pass a challenge for which the user must pay a entry fee. And not only once but sometimes multiple times.

The problem here is that no trader is always 100% on a profit streak. Sometimes they make short-term losses, which they can later make up for. But if you fail one of the challenges, even once, then you are out and have to pay a fee to take the "challenge" again. It is basically gambling. You are betting on whether or not you will make a short term loss, even if in the long term you are a good trader who makes a profit.

A real prop firm hires traders, and does not demand they pay some entry fee for some challenge.


With all due respect, that is not true.

No prop firm will "hire" you without insight into your previous successful trading and proof that you are a successful trader. Why would they?

Of course, no trader is 100% successful all the time, if such a person existed, they probably wouldn’t be using prop firms but would own a hedge fund, and billionaires would be competing to pay them more. This isn’t the movie Limitless, after all (if you know what I mean).

Prop firms are not scams, at least not the ones that have been around for a long time and have a reputation as excellent firms, registered in countries with strict regulations (we’re not talking about offshore scam firms that operate as Ponzi schemes, like some that were part of the Forex prop space). I don’t want to advertise anyone, but the ones I can personally vouch for are FTMO and E8.

I’ve been using both for many years, they offer very favorable conditions, 24/7 support, and most importantly (100%) - both pay out. If you don’t have some kind of edge in the market, if your trading strategy isn’t profitable over a sample of, say, 1,000–2,000 trades, and if you don’t have very solid risk management, then of course paying for and attempting prop firm challenges is a terrible decision, because in 99% of cases, you’ll lose money.

There was a statistic — either from FTMO or the ex. MFF — showing that only 10% of traders pass the evaluation process (which has 2 stages: 8–10% profit on the first, and 5% on the second), and only 2% make it to their first payout. Which is crazy if you ask me, but that is not the prop firms fault or showing that they are a scam, it is the traders fault.

If you know what you're doing in the market, or at least believe you do, I don’t see how you could be negative long-term in the prop firm space. After all, you have a 10% max total loss limit on the account and a 5% daily loss limit. Risking more than 5% daily, or even 1% per trade, is madness and 1000% gambling.

Ultimately, prop firms are meant to help you build up your bankroll over time. You get access to more capital, which means bigger payouts, and in turn, you can use that to fund your personal trading account.

FTMO even has a program where, if you can prove you're consistently profitable over a period longer than 8–9 months, and if you haven’t blown your challenge account, you can get an offer to join their Traditional Proprietary Trading Company.
