@rraytradess This is the way to go. If you know how to trade, the opportunity cost of time in an eval is an actual payout in the s2f accounts. Besides, an eval triggers/promotes gambler behavior.
@TheRealDrip2Rip Your work on GEXR and FLOOP pro is truly impressive. Congrats and many thanks. Has been really useful for filtering the noise during these volatile sessions.

@his_eminence_j Naive to think you can buy American products, there is not such thing. “american” goods are made via intermediate foreign goods. In such an interconnected supply chain inflations is gonna reach everything. You will need a huuuuge income increment to compensate.

@MattLeech Necessary but now they are behind MFF, you allowing up to 3 live accounts. The appeal is the copy trading tool to leverage less risk taking.
