How To Pass a Prop Firm Account With Ease Before delving into the world of prop firm trading, it's imperative to conduct a thorough assessment of the prop company from which you intend to purchase an account. In subsequent discussions, we will delve into the specifics of this research process. However, the first consideration should be ensuring the firm can fulfill its promises regarding profit splits. It's essential to scrutinize their rules diligently, as some prop firms may harbor hidden regulations that could potentially impede or delay account progress. For clarity on these matters, direct communication with customer support is advisable (covered in subsequent discussions). Congratulations on acquiring a prop account with substantial capital to trade ($10,000!). However, it's vital to acknowledge that for practical purposes, we will be operating with your overall and daily drawdown, which effectively represents your actual balance. Aligning your maximum drawdown with your win rate and risk tolerance is paramount. Many prop firms typically offer a maximum overall drawdown of 10% and a daily drawdown of 5%. Let's consider a scenario where your trading edge yields a win rate of 40% at a risk-reward ratio of 1:3. It's crucial not to rush to meet account requirements hastily, as most prop firms allow an ample number of days to pass the challenge phase. In this hypothetical scenario, with $10,000 in your prop account, your daily drawdown would be $500 (5% of the account), and your overall drawdown would be $1,000 (10% of the account), with a 40% win rate, you can expect to win 4 trades out of 10. Risking 1% ($100) of your account per trade aligns well with a risk-reward ratio of 1:3, where the potential reward is $300. Let’s do the Math You took 10 trades, Lose 6 trades ($600) and Win 4 trades ($400 x 3 = $1,200). You are 6% up in your account already. Repeat again, you pass phase 1. Phase 2, show be 5% challenge, stick to your strategy one more time and you’re done. Adherence to your strategy is critical for safeguarding your account. Emotional trading, triggered by drawdowns, can lead to impulsive decisions driven by revenge, fear, or greed. It's essential to maintain discipline and stick to your plan, regardless of temporary setbacks. Whether you adopt a conservative or aggressive approach, align your maximum drawdown with your risk tolerance and trading style. This proactive measure serves to mitigate risks and preserve capital over the long term. Continue to adhere to this plan till you make your first withdrawal, covering your account purchase fee. #PropTrading #ProprietaryTrading #TradingStrategies #RiskManagement #FinancialMarkets #ForexTrading #StockMarket #DayTrading #Investing #ProfitSharing #CapitalAllocation #TradingEdge #TradeManagement #PortfolioManagement #TradingEducation

Has there been a study that showed execution prices for B/Ds with $0 trades instead getting paid by PFOF versus ones that have commissions? I was trying to explain to a client how they “could” be getting inferior pricing for their trades, but I wish I had a proof point. I have been considering opening accounts at multiple and executing the same trades at the same time. Of course I would prefer if someone has done the work and has the ability to do more than a few trade examples. Trying to uncover hidden costs.

𝗖𝗔𝗡 𝗔 𝗦𝗨𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗕𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗗 𝗙𝗨𝗟𝗙𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗗 𝗜𝗙 𝗔 𝗟𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗘𝗥 𝗕𝗢𝗡𝗗 𝗔𝗠𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗧 𝗜𝗦 𝗢𝗕𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗗 𝗕𝗨𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗔𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗜𝗦 𝗦𝗘𝗖𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘𝗢𝗨𝗦𝗟𝗬? It is of utmost importance that a suspensive condition must be met in totality and timeously for a sale agreement to come into force. In the recent case of Basson and Another v Reddy and Others (1695 / 2017) [2018] ZAKZDHC 9, the court had to decide whether the purchaser, had fulfilled the suspensive condition by obtaining a 90% loan and depositing the balance into the transferring attorney’s trust account, instead of obtaining 100% bond, as stipulated in the sale agreement. In terms of the sale agreement between the purchaser and the seller, the purchaser had to obtain a bond for R1 300 000 within 21 days of signature, with the proviso that should she fail to do so, the sale agreement would fall away and be of no force and effect. The purchaser only secured a 90% bond, but paid the balance in cash within the 21 day period. After receiving a better offer, the Sellers argued that the purchaser breached the agreement by not obtaining a bond for the full R1 300 000.00, the court, however, rejected this argument and found that our law acknowledges that a suspensive condition is there for the benefit of the purchaser and therefore a purchaser can unilaterally waive the protection of the condition. It was decided that the purchaser unilaterally waived a portion of the suspensive condition by accepting the lesser bond and paying the balance of the purchase price, and therefor the sale agreement was still valid and binding and the seller had to proceed with the sale agreement. The implication of this decision is that in the event that a purchaser accepts a lesser bond amount, and pays in the balance before the due date of the suspensive condition, it is deemed unilateral waiver of a portion of the suspensive condition, without the necessity of any amendment of the bond amount per addendum, and the Seller has no other choice but to continue with the sale agreement. The safer option will be to enter into an addendum in which the amended terms is set out and signed by the parties.

I find the below laughable.. #TrumpAndDump Not sure why they think there are a lot of short sellers. My screen doesn't even have them on the rule Regulation SHO list.. This is the pump before the dump!!! Remember business is worth zero. Btw I have no position just don't want to see innocents lose a lot of $$$$ $DJT sent this to their shareholders 😂 😂 😂 🤣 🤣 "How do I prevent my shares from being loaned for a short interest position? Brokerage firms may facilitate short selling in DJT’s shares by lending DJT’s shareholders’ shares held in margin accounts. Through this practice, brokerage firms earn an alternative source of revenue by “lending” shares to sophisticated and institutional investors who are betting that the price of the particular stock will decrease over a period of time. If the price of the stock in fact decreases, then the brokerage firm and the sophisticated and institutional investors will have made a profit, while the ultimate retail investor has not. For long-term shareholders who believe in the Company’s future, the Company is highlighting the following actions you can take with your brokerage firm to prevent the lending of your shares for short selling: 1. holding your DJT shares in a cash account at your brokerage firm instead of a margin account (a model instruction letter is set forth under the heading “Form of Letter to Broker” below); or 2. opting out of any securities lending programs, which should stop your broker from lending your shares; or 3. moving your shares to Odyssey Transfer and Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent (please note that you may incur certain costs in connection with any such transfer and once your shares are moved to our transfer agent, your ability to timely transfer your shares back to a brokerage firm and sell may be a longer process); or 4. transferring your shares to your bank (if they have custody services) and holding them in your retirement account (if permitted by your plan). Example Form of Letter to Broker If you decide to instruct your broker not to make your shares available for lending to short sellers, the following is a sample of the language you can use in your email or letter to the Branch Manager of your brokerage account: [Broker Name] [Broker Address] Attn: Branch Manager My Account [Account Number] Dear Sir or Madam: Please accept this written instruction to make sure that the following securities are held in my cash account only and accordingly are not available for any stock loan activities. I hereby expressly opt-out of any securities lending programs and instruct you to not loan out any of my shares. Securities: [Number] shares of Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (DJT) and any DJT shares subsequently acquired. Please confirm receipt and compliance with this request" #TrumpAndDump #$DJT #worthless
