    Think about it like this, if you invest $500 into a prop challenge, pass all the stages and get funded, get a $5000 payout then the prop firm shuts down, did you lose anything? No, you made money, the only thing you lost is more potential profit. So there's very big upsides to prop firms and little downside. Especially if you actually know how to trade, if you don't know how to trade then it doesn't really matter if a prop firm shuts down on not because guess what, you were going to lose that account ANYWAY!

    Nice discussion around the reality if props!
    The real problem is the scams that are around telling people they will pass and managed your funded accounts when we all know the legit prop firms would never allow that, but there are tons of channel advertising we will pass you challenge or money back etc etc
    That’s the real cancer of the industry and needs to be cut out ASAP!!

    I took a 5k prop firm account and I blew it quick. I realised that I was the problem and I was just after quick money.
    Because I enjoy trading and really want to be a trader because it is a career that also builds u as a person , i decided to dedicate the year of 2023 to backtesting, fowardtesting and making sure that I have enough data so that I can stand a better chance of passing my next challenge account.
    There are many other ways to make money and if u really want to be a trader then dedicate ur all to the craft but if u just want money find something else.

    Great video as always. I know this isnt related to prop firms, but do you think certain strategies work on some pairs and not on others. The strategy i use works well on gold but not so much on EU. Do certain pairs "work" differently than others which affects performance? If so, how do you identify/adapt if market characteristics change? Just need some inputs some advice from a pro trader.

    • @AlbertBurgess
      @AlbertBurgess  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I think definitely so, each pair will have its own characteristics for sure this is of course where testing forward testing watching live markets comes into play along with market cycles it’s an experience and time thing more than anything I’d say

    It's strange to me that many of the influencers criticizing prop firms are the ones that derived the majority of their riches from them. Additionally, individuals who were unable to succeed in passing prop businesses, as you mentioned, take that as gospel in an attempt to make up for their lackluster performance. The MFF case Particularly amuse me since, although all that was involved were allegations, some of the people involved finally had an excuse to avoid taking responsibility because they were unable to act on the opportunity because of a lack of skills or a negative mindset.
    And also some unskilled forex traders will think Prop Firm are scam

  • @gergopasztor2465
    @gergopasztor2465 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    So you say a prop firm that uses a proper broker like Eightcap or Thinkmarkets cannot manipulate the spreads?I happened to get out of a EU position held overnight price running 22pips above the normal price level on mt4 10pips above my initial sl level causing me lose 3R instead of my normal risk.I asked the prop firm about it and they started shittlalking about spread hours and pointing at eightcap though none of my friends have ever heard about such a slippage or spread on EU even in spread hours.

    • @AlbertBurgess
      @AlbertBurgess  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Every broker has different liquidity providers and different deals with those providers so of course some will differ depending but the fact is props themselves are not doing what mff did having there own broker acting as an lp that was my point, there’s far superior larger brokers out there they’re just not on the prop game.

      @@AlbertBurgess They are designed to make you fail (unless you have the nerves of steel and a super confidence from years of experience). Many of them (most perhaps) are also manipulating their slippage to make traders more likely to fail. I have noticed this, a trader friend of mine noticed this, and I talked with an experienced trader/educator who confirmed this with certainty. Prop firms make most of their money from failed challenges. Personally, I have had a lot more success with my personal capital, even though it's smaller than what prop firms offer. But had I put all the money that I wasted on poop firm challenges into my own personal account... One needs to be super careful and basically stressed out to watch out for the 5% daily DD. This is the main culprit, the biggest one (besides the slippage manipulation which doesn't really affect swing trading).

      Hey I love you too!
      I’ll copy a post from twitter today to see if this helps at all, always come to me if something doesn’t go in your favour and I’ll do my absolute best to resolve it I have no bad experience to comment on and I ensure you if I had I wouldn’t hide it because it’s not worth it to do so.
      There are always two sides to every story. Unfortunately, many choose to focus solely on the negative due to a predisposition towards negative traits. Additionally, some of those who have been banned might only share selective information, possibly in an attempt to gain clout or tarnish reputations.
      From my view those who have been banned is often by not adhering to established rules. We've been aware of the prop model and its associated rules for quite some time while some may differ can you say you've ever actually fully read the contract? If one chooses to use the supplied services, it's important to follow their guidelines, cheating will always be a thing, it's how you react when you get found out thats the issue unfortunately often the reaction is aggressive due to a euphoric moment being diminished and egos at play, also look at it from the other side should people who "cheat" be rewarded for doing so?
      I'd strongly advise anyone who believes they have a legitimate reason as to why they should not have been "banned" to present their case, armed with clear and concise evidence. In fact, if the issue is genuine, I'm willing to lend an ear and back them up. However, if it's baseless or biased, it's best left unsaid. We must remember we're adults, some people need to stick there big boy pants on and accept they got caught out.
      Also id like to highlight & acknowledge the many individuals who have had positive experiences and received their payouts, instead of only fixating on the negative narratives. Hope this helps have an absolutely wonderful week ahead.
      Always here if people get in a pickle just reach out to me. 🙌🏻

      As I’ve said before I have no concerns believe me I always question everything but as said in these comments already every side has 2 stories and some of you only focus on the negative not how many have actually been paid out and made money. Also there are a ton of people who promoted Mff could they foresee that coming nope but it did? Anything can happen in this life all we can do is adapt and react accordingly when the time comes to do so. You best believe If something shady came out I’d be making a video in a flash my friend but I don’t like to focus on what ifs I focus on the here and now and making as much money as I can whilst these firms exist and I urge anyone else to be doing the same. If you get an issue with bespoke please I urge you come to me with evidence and I’ll go fight your corner all day everyday. Have a great week. 🫡

      @WernerMi 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      A very good question! In general, if I can build my own account then I should be able to build a funded account too. On the other hand, if I pay for a funded account, and at that time the circumstances in my personal life are not ideal, I may blow up that funded account. I would then have preferred to invest that money in my personal account.
      Building my personal account and starting very small, to compound it, is much more vigorous than succeeding for any founded account. But again, this is my personal opinion and the way I see things.

    There’s a lot of scaremongering going on, mainly from people a) ill-qualified to have an opinion and b) probably never passed a challenge in their lives. Prop firms are and should always be considered as a tool to leverage in order to build your own capital!
    Scale your capital by having accounts with multiple firms rather than all your eggs in one basket, use their money to make your money, don’t get attached, rinse and repeat!
