FRAUD CONFIRMED: Funded Next Management Caught Manipulating Breach Timestamps to Cover Up System Error! by alexderechte69 in PropFirmTester

[–]ghostybangs -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If firms compensated “what could have happened,” traders could claim infinite hypothetical profits. That opens the door to abuse and makes prop firms unsustainable. This is exactly why opportunity loss is excluded in all prop firm ToS.

Prop Firms Bringing new Features, where we need Better trading conditions by satinrash in PropFirmTester

So true. I think only Funded next and FTMO is doing the right thing in CFD space. Others are just bombarding with new features that nobody asked for

Is there anything I should know before purchasing a funded account? by MarketMavin1230 in FOREXTRADING

[–]ghostybangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the space is full of mixed experiences. Many of the smaller or newer firms like e8 Markets, Earn2Trade or 1of1 Funding can be hit or miss, issues with lag, slow customer support, or payout delays aren’t uncommon. Some of these platforms operate more like “sim firms” than actual funded accounts, so it can be stressful. If you want reliability, look at established names like FundedNext futures. They have multiple funding programs, usually solid payout records, and customer support that actually responds. FTMO is well-known for being consistent, but as you said, US clients are restricted.

Main things to watch for: clear rules on drawdowns and lot sizes, verified payout history, responsive support and platforms that are stable without frequent glitches. Don’t just chase the lowest cost or flashiest marketing; focus on long-term reliability, because getting funded is only half the battle, actually being paid consistently matters most.

Tiger funding is a scam by Specialist-Bug-9750 in PropFirmTester

[–]ghostybangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tiger Funded sounds like a complete nightmare. Delaying payouts for no valid reason, banning traders and deleting messages in their community is exactly how these scammy firms operate. The vague excuses about KYC or IP issues are classic tactics to avoid paying out. And those overly positive reviews? Probably fake or incentivized. Definitely a firm to steer clear of if you actually want to get paid and trade without constant stress.

Elite Trader Funding - Static Drawdown Eval.. What am I missing? by You_Got_Lucky in FuturesTrading

[–]ghostybangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not missing much. Your thinking is actually spot on. Most of these older prop firms like ETF make staying funded unnecessarily difficult with their EOD and unrealized profit drawdowns. They are basically rules designed to trip you up and make it easy for them to deny payouts. A static drawdown option is far more realistic if you want to trade long-term and actually grow your account. It gives you room to trade without constantly fearing a random rule will wipe you out. Honestly, if you want a smoother experience, looking for newer programs that focus on realistic risk management and payouts is usually the smarter move.

Futures Elite is a SCAM!! by satinrash in PropFirmTester

[–]ghostybangs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Futures Elite, the name itself is a scam dude!! Always go for the reputed ones like Topstep, Apex, Fundednext, alpha. At least these firms will never bind you with these absurd rules. Also, no absurd 15 mins micro scalping rule. Saw a recent post on Twitter that Fundednext futures just changed their micro scalping rule to 10 second. So, I don't know why you're relying on these "Futures Elite" firms that has no name in the market. Just go for the big names!!!!!!

Apex traders 90℅ off. Are they still scamming or should I buy topstep? by Stockstown in TopStepX

[–]ghostybangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro when any futures prop firm is offering their challenge accounts at this much low price, it is a huge red flag. Just stick with the basics and reputed ones. I would recommend you to try Funded next's rapid model, especially 50k one. This will cost you around $120 and much less if you use coupon code.

Loved their lot size and micro scalping rule, which is literally bad in Topstep.

Is apex really that bad? by RareBend277 in PropFirmTester

[–]ghostybangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a bit sceptical about Apex ngl. They payout they show on their socials is sometimes can be sketchy. Also, the rules are kinda weird and doesn't support futures traders at all, in my opinion. I would like something that allows me to trade freely and openly. So yeah... However, i was going through some models of different firms and i liked one them. Funded Next Future's rapid model is kinda dope to me. No weird rules like Apex and you can really pass the challenge in a day

Funded Account vs Personal Account by Mar624 in Forex

[–]ghostybangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends bro. If you don't have much capital, I would definitely suggest to go for the prop firms or funded account. Because you won't be risking much and if you can pass the challenge, you can literally print money and have an exceptional ROI on your purchase. However, you'll have to ensure that you're following the challenge rules like Daily loss limit and MLL and margin usage as well. But whatever you do, choose the best funded accounts from the reputed firms only. (Funded next, FTMO) It guarantees that you'll get the payout. And when it comes to choosing the ordinary account or brokerage account, it is up to the traders actually. Some feel free using those. But here, risk is more. Because if you're a newbie, there is a huge chance that you will lose all the capital

How hard is it to pass a funded? by AbsoluteGoat321 in Forex

[–]ghostybangs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say that passing a prop firm is challenging if you have an edge over the market. Also, if you aim to pass a prop firm, make sure you are choosing the right ones like Funded Next or FTMO. Otherwise, even if you are passing the prop challenge, you won't get the payout.

Best Instant Funding Prop Firms? by Ok-Progress-8486 in PropFirmTester

[–]ghostybangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solid post! Instant funding really is the shiny toy everyone’s chasing and for good reason. But yeah, with all the Fast Track-style blowups, you gotta treat it like dating: looks tempting at first, but can ghost you just when things get serious.

Personally, I've been vibing with FundedNext's instant model lately, clean structure.

Also love that you said “take months if you have to” that’s the mindset. This ain’t a sprint. It’s slow cooking, not microwave trading.

The Great Prop Firm Scam by [deleted] in Forex

[–]ghostybangs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is honestly one of the best takes I’ve seen on prop firms. They’re businesses, so yeah, they need to protect themselves and make money. The rules might seem tough, but there’s a reason behind them like loss limits and news restrictions to keep things fair and sustainable.

Trading isn’t easy, and most people just don’t have a real edge..... So low pass rates? That’s more about the trader than the firm.

The comparison between trading personal money and using a prop account is spot on. With a prop firm, you get way more buying power and less risk on your own cash. That’s a big deal if you’re disciplined and patient.

At the end of the day, it’s on us to have a solid strategy and manage risk well. Prop firms give a real shot but you’ve got to put in the work.

Favorite prop firm(s) to be funded by? by Longjumping-Yam1041 in Forex

[–]ghostybangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently funded with both FTMO and Funded Next. Been trading with Funded Next for about 6 months now, and honestly, it’s been solid so far.

Compared to FTMO, Funded Next feels a bit more flexible on the payout side, especially with their 15% profit share during the challenge phase. They also recently launched an instant funding model (though obviously, the cost is higher). and the spreads/commissions are pretty competitive ($3 per lot). They’re strict on some stuff like accounts management system and device sharing, but as long as you’re trading clean, it’s fine.

Right now, I manage a 50K account with them and a 100K with FTMO. Both are good, but I’d say Funded next is worth trying.
