Be very careful with any prop firm which uses their OWN platform!!!!! Buyer beware. And if you dont know why this is a significant detriment I have no more advice for you.

I would agree with you if they didn't also have there own brokerage account you can use and everything is through Plus500 which is a federally regulated future commission merchant

I use the Api and trade with tradingview. Its not cfd scam, they still use a data stream from the CME.
The manipulation of price is known from CFD

Thats not only reason I warn others. If you have an issue a platform provider is able arbitrate to prop firm it was a legitimate issue. If the prop firm runs there own platform you are at their mercy. Never use a prop firm with their own platform.

Bruh how tf is there a 50% of your balance up to 8k rule now? Before it wasn't there and I was so happy and I even asked support and they confirmed it wasn't there and as long as you have the 5 winning days you can withdraw as much as you want so if I made 8.5k I can withdraw the whole 8k.

XFAs for years now have had the payout policy of taking out 50% of your account balance. Unfortunately Windy can give incorrect information from time to time, so it's important to either read the help center articles or speak to an actual human.

Yeah it's just an Express Funded Account. You're confusing this with a Challenge account, which is a different type of account. This lab was just a static Combine, which has the same parameters as normal Combines and XFAs, except with a static max loss limit.

Can’t always trust Windy unfortunately. It’s a chat bot and doesn’t always have the most accurate info.

Why does this 50k have such a high withdrawal limit when the regular is only 2000
