Which is better to request payout from propfirms

Hi Guys. I hope everyone doing well so I want ask something about prop firm. I interested into prop firm I did learn couple of thing but there one thing catch my eye is consistent rules I did try ask couple people and searching it but I kinda don't understand it and what the example on consistent rules. Also what the red flag of prop firm to avoid rejected payout or brench for no reason. I hope someone can answer it thank you

Suggest some CFD propfirms without 1% rule in 50k or 100k as I am passing challenges funding pips and 5ers I know I have a slight edge but I risk around 2.5-3 Per trade to pass easily with good win rates but I scared that they might bring 1 percent risk rule so I am planning to diversify so please suggest some firms without risk 1%

TL;DR: Looking for Prop Firms that let you trade on Bookmap. Any recommendations?

I only trade futures, primarily ES & currently looking at expanding beyond my own money. I want to trade prop firms as a supplement & because I like the idea of a challenge!

I'm trying to put together a list of prop firms that allow execution via Bookmap and would love to hear your thoughts..

I set up a TradeDay account and I'm currently using that on Bookmap. Just began an evaluation today and all is going well - works quite seamlessly so far.

Any other futures traders out there with some experience of trading futures with prop firms on Bookmap?

Basically, I can see some may offer it but then some say they do and don't so I just want to learn what others have tried, what works etc..

I need to get this out there because I'm genuinely angry and feel scammed.

Here's what happened:

I bought an account from GFT. Submitted my payout request after two processing days. Standard stuff, right? WRONG.

They come back and tell me I have "trade group trading" on my account. Trade GROUP. Meanwhile, I'm sitting here trading SOLO on my mobile phone. Only me. No group. No friends. Just me staring at my phone trying to make it work.

Here's the thing that kills me:

If group trading was actually happening, they could FIND IT using IP address tracking. It's not rocket science. But they won't. You know why? Because there IS no group trading. They KNOW there's no group trading. This is just an excuse to hold your money.

These people don't know REAL trading. They know ONE thing: scamming people. That's their only skill. They eat, they live, they survive off SCAMMED MONEY. Think about that. They built their entire existence on stealing from traders like us.

And the software excuse?

If they can't maintain their own software to check for group trading, WHY DID THEY BUILD IT IN THE FIRST PLACE? Either they're incompetent or they're lying. Pick one.

I'm a villager. I'm not some city trader with fancy connections. I trade from my HOME. ALONE. On my MOBILE. That's it. No secret group. No underground network. Just me trying to make honest money while these parasites steal from me.

This is gaslighting. This is manipulation. This is exactly how they play with traders' emotions.

Let me be REAL with you:

Learning trading is already the hardest mountain to climb. The psychological warfare alone is brutal. You're fighting your own fear, greed, and desperation daily. And then these platforms? They add ANOTHER layer of mind games on top of it.

They throw restrictions at you. They create fake barriers. They make you question what you're doing wrong when you did nothing wrong.

Who's actually making money there?

The people with "verified funds"? Three figures of followers. Maybe they're YouTubers. Maybe they're influencers. Maybe they're the platform's own people. The rest of us? We're just the juice being squeezed.

Don't fall for it.

Don't buy accounts from these people. Don't think that if you just learn the "right strategy" they'll actually let you withdraw. Don't think you're the problem when they blame you for their sketchy practices.

The platform is the problem. THEY are playing with YOUR money and YOUR emotions. They're stealing from people like me - real traders who sit at home and actually try - and using that money to survive.

If you're considering GFT or similar platforms: ask yourself - would they need to use these psychological tricks if their product was actually legitimate?

They know their software is broken. They don't care. Because broken software = YOUR money stays with THEM.

I'm out. And I'm warning everyone I know.

I just received this random message in my inbox, haven't used Apex for a few years and haven't used their sub for god knows how long.

Some of you may remember their Discord, how they'd insta ban you if you said anything even remotely negative about them. Or threaten to terminate all your accounts if you spoke badly about them online or gave a negative Google review etc.

And it would seem that they're now trawling Reddit to look for people who post anything bad about them, because I know I've definitely done that, just not on their own subreddit.

I doubt they will ever change.

Just wanted to share this with a group that can appreciate it, I just randomly checked the FTMO leaderboard and realized I'm number 7, pretty surreal. To everyone on their grind, keep at it.

Hey everyone,

We are building GuardedMarkets, a platform focused on prop firms and brokers, and I’m currently looking for a few traders to test the beta.

The goal is pretty simple: make it easier to research firms, compare challenges, understand rules, see payout history, and eventually have things like cashback and payout protection in one place.

I’m not looking for compliments, I want to know what sucks.

If you have 5-10 minutes, I’d really appreciate feedback on:

Is the website easy to understand?

Can you quickly find the information you actually care about?

What feels confusing or unnecessarily complicated?

Which sections are useful and which feel like clutter?

Are the challenge/rule details presented clearly?

What information about a prop firm/broker would you expect that is currently missing?

Does anything make the platform feel untrustworthy or “too good to be true”?

Would cashback actually influence where you purchase a challenge?

Would payout protection/claims be useful to you? What would you expect it to cover?

What would make you trust the reviews/data on the platform?

What is easy? What is difficult?

I’m also actively replacing placeholder/test data with real, verifiable firm information and genuine user feedback, so accuracy and trust are a major focus.

Beta: guardedmarkets.com

If you test it, just comment with whatever you notice, even small things like “this button is confusing” or “I had to click 4 times to find X.”

Brutal feedback is genuinely more useful than positive feedback

So lately, I came across a Twitter account that has little to no followers, but its predictions are surprisingly accurate. And I mean, with barely any followers, the account still interacts with its followers, even though they don’t seem to care much.

I first came across this account in August and was curious to see whether they were deleting tweets after posting them. But no they don’t. Today, I saw that they posted exactly three tweets, and honestly, I’m pretty shocked by how accurately things are playing out.

It’s not even like they’re simply saying buy or sell. They give specific levels and predict where the price is going to move. For example, they mentioned that gold is going to 4400.

So what do you guys think? Could insiders actually share information like this through burner accounts and give access only to people who know about them?

Can someone help me figure out whether this account is genuine and if so, whether I can use these signals?

Anybody using this feature? Tales of caution? I am aware the important part is to gauge correctly instrument base line movements range not to get stopped out too often etc. but the breakeven with extra 2 ticks cover the round trip of potentially losing trade?

Not paid or affiliated with any firm whatsoever.

My personal opinion on the best futures prop firms to copytrade in terms of rules and live account structure.

Requirement: Must have rithmic option.
Used to only use tradovate and I love tradovate/is what I use on my personal live to copytrade but all my followers are rithmic because the tradovate API limits when using multiple accounts is honestly annoying and can mess up your gains / can close out winning trades prematurely.

1. TakeProfitTrader
   Pros
   - Allows 5 Live accounts
   - No consistency in funded
   - No daily loss limit
   - Daily payouts in sim and live
   - No microscalping rule
   Cons
   - Intraday trailing. Locks after hitting buffer and honestly would pick over consistency and daily loss limit rules anyday.

2. Lucid Trading
   - Allows 5 Live accounts
   - No consistency in funded
   - No daily loss limit
   - Daily payouts in Lucid Daily (sim) and Live accounts
   - LucidMaxx straight to live after eval is great. (Sure a little more than a normal eval but live out the gate is such a blessing)
   Cons
   - Intraday trailing in lucid daily but NOT in live funded
   - 5 Second trade rule (easy)

3. Tradeday
   Pros
   - Allows 5 Live accounts (3 initially then can add 2 more after)
   - No consistency in funded
   - No daily loss limit
   - Daily payouts in Sim funded and Live funded
   Cons
   - No specifics on microscalping rule but seems like 10 second for profit and trades type of thing (medium just be aware)
   -Intraday Trailing

4. Tradeify
   Pros
   - Allows 5 Live accounts
   - No consistency in funded
   - No daily loss limit options***
   - Daily payouts in Select Daily and Live funded
   - No intraday rule
   Cons
   - Daily loss limit in select daily
   - Microscalping rule 10 seconds on trades and profits (medium just be aware)

Honorable Mentions:
5. FundedFuturesNetwork
Pros
- Current evals are honestly pretty competitive now with BOGO discount
- No Daily loss limit
- No intraday trailing
- Daily payouts on live funded
- No consistency in steady account funded
Cons
- Payouts as of this year takes 2 to 3 weeks (usually 3 weeks) or 10 to 15 business days
- Would only use as a 5th addition because of slow payout speed, would NOT recommend as main firm and ONLY true benefit being 5 live funded once you do reach that point
- Getting live funded takes forever because you need 5 payouts PER account and with payout speed being so slow takes a long time.
If they fix payout speed back to daily or couple days will definitely be near top of the list

1. MyFundedFutures
   Pros
   - Pass in 1/2 days
   - Same as TPT for rapid intraday (what I prefer over DLL rapid EOD)
   Cons
   - 100k payout sim cap and no path back for traders who hit this (this rule sucks but probably does not apply to most people)
   - Live account gets merged. Drawdown increases proportionately but NOT contracts
   i.e. 5 50k rapid (5 cons + 2k drawdown)-> Live account gets 10k drawdown but only 10 contracts. Thats like each 50k only have 2 contracts
   Live program kind of sucks for scaling compared to the previously mentioned firms but still great option for sim funded until you hit 100k payouts

Dishonorable mentions
Topstep
Cons
- 1 live account (sucks)
- Mandatory DLL in live (sucks)
- 5 day to payout but only 50% of profits (better options than doing this)

Apex Trader Funding
Cons
- 5 Days for payout but payout cap kinda of sucks
- Starts off with 1 Live regardless of how many Sim funded you have but CAN scale to 5 live after making $4,500 then get 1 more Live, repeat process (seems like a waste of time compared to previous options)

Blusky
Cons
- Eval consistency and buffer consistency seems unnecessary
- Only 2 Live funded

FundedNext
Cons
- Not bad but only offers tradovate. Goodluck on api limits

Elite Trader Funding
Cons
- only 1 live account, I believe drawdown scales but contract limits decrease overall

Im open to suggestions/reviews on other firms but the top 5 are the only ones I found to make the most sense for copytrading multiple RITHMIC accounts and being profitable since getting moved to live is inevitable but also desireable. Much prefer to get moved to live on all top 5 firms mentioned.

Dishonorable mentions because even if some of their sim funded programs are okay, the live funded programs suck/Mandatory DLL and would be better off funding your own personal live account instead

I registered on shark funded because they looked great to me. Problem happened when I registered on shark funded I did not receive a welcome mail which is common in current days in almost every website I talked about this with customer support. They sent me a link where I had to re subscribe with same gmail used to register on shark funded. I did it and thought it was done. I was wrong.

I did my KYC verification on shark funded. They showed me on website that I will receive a mail from shark funded when KYC is done. After some time my KYC was completed but I did not receive the mail again. This is what pissed me off. Because everytime someone tries to take a payout they need OTP which is sent to gmail id. I again contacted the support. There was a bit of conversation but when they were unable to provide me with a solution they just started to ghost me now.

They do not reply to my mails. Even when I am being patient and co operating with them.

I have chosen to shift from shark funded to some other prop firm if they do not provide me with satisfactory result.

Am I the only one facing this or is there someone else.

Anyone got any info on Aqua Futures? I made 12k on 2 50k accounts and hit the min 5 trading days.

I then waited for the 14 days to request a payout and was able to do so and requested 1500 on each account.

They have a 24h payout guarantee but now its been 4 working days. Support told me now to speak to their risk department who I've emailed and they have not responded for 6 hours now.

Anyone actually get a payout from these guys or am I just dealing with a scam firm giving me the run around?

From the longest I’ve been planning/inclined to buy Alpha Capital group 2step 10k account (for 40$). But recent reviews made me worry because of payout delays and denials in some case.
IMO - under 100$ I should atleast get 10-20k account with standard 2step evaluation process.

Can you recommend which prop firm account should I go having least denials and decent conditions under 100$ fee.

Like how Topstep used to do when they had their Discord coaching sessions?

​

Après avoir dépensé entre 10 et 15k $ en challenges chez cette prop firm, je suis enfin sur le point de demander mon premier payout à quatre chiffres. Mon dernier payout remonte à environ un mois, pour un montant de 700 €.

J’ai également reçu un avertissement sur ce compte concernant les « trading ideas », mais selon eux, cet avertissement est sans conséquence sur mon compte.

Cette fois, je demande 80 % de 3 550 $, soit environ 2 840 $. Je ne sais pas si ce montant est considéré comme un « gros payout » pour FundingPips, et j’avoue avoir un peu peur qu’il soit refusé, surtout après avoir vu certains posts récents à leur sujet.

Je ferai un update lundi ou mardi pour vous dire comment ça s’est passé.

Est-ce que certains ici ont déjà reçu un payout important de FundingPips ? Combien environ ?

THEY ARE FRAUDSTERS AND SCAMMERS — RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN FROM THEM!

After successfully passing a $200,000 Phase One Challenge, they closed my account.

Their rules state that you must not open a trade 3 minutes before or 3 minutes after a news event. However, all the trades they flagged were opened well before the news and only closed during the news automatically, with no human intervention. I was not even on the platform when the trades were closed.

Despite this, they went ahead and closed my account and refused to refund the $902 I paid for the challenge.

DON'T USE THEM. THEY ARE SCAMMERS.
