@MeetMattL Combo of people being skilled at getting legit payouts (not necessarily the same thing as being good traders), and huge growth in cheating scale and sophistication.

[Simon M @SimonMFTP]

@MTradingX @PropJoshD No idea why they didn't learn from the CFD race to the bottom. When we explored Futures the margins are razor thing. You get a program wrong or the markets are favourable, you'll get run over in no time.

[Simon M @SimonMFTP]

@ukboomers How many people don't realise this is satire / parody is amazing.

[Simon M @SimonMFTP]

@salmanmunir96 @Trustpilot @PropJoshD @FS_Futures The obvious marketing / spam ones get removed. Less obvious fake 1 stars are impossible to get rid of.

We'd have people who were never customers leave 1 star reviews (with just their name) and their email address - hoping to get a free account to remove.

[Simon M @SimonMFTP]

@salmanmunir96 @Trustpilot @PropJoshD @FS_Futures It turned in April 2024 (if I remember correctly). They went hard on the automation then and it's gone downhill ever since. They accuse you of fake reviews (which we'd never done), but present no evidence or insight. Easy for malicious actors to attack a company.

[Simon M @SimonMFTP]

@MTradingX Yep - the sale staff will email you multiple times per day to try and get a sale, then give you advice which conflicts with with actual policy. The rest is just AI / algo nonsense.

[Simon M @SimonMFTP]

@PropJoshD Key is filtering out the cheats as early as possible. Ideally at the evaluation stage or even before. Creates far less friction than having to deny payouts.

[Simon M @SimonMFTP]

Safe for now.

This is the greatest video I’ve ever seen. No notes. The lifeless clanker carcass just laying there. No crowd reaction, anything. Just Billie Jean. Until its lifeless shell is shamefully dragged off. Purely amazing.

Who's going to be next payout? @FundedTradingP

[Simon M @SimonMFTP]

Over the weekend, Modi urged India to stop buying gold. I’ve seen a lot of traders read that headline and immediately go short.
The result? The market ticked up and has now settled right back in the exact same price range.
Trading a headline without a technical setup is pure speculation. Global gold prices are driven by much bigger macroeconomic forces. At FT+, we want to see you succeed, which means trusting your strategy, maintaining discipline, and ignoring the noise.

@Iam74151982 More as boxing fan but will see if I am about for that!

[Simon M @SimonMFTP]

@chimney1878 @Jonathan_Hinder This isn't true. You can actually do anything if you justify it. The IPOC looked at this matter and took no further action (the airport incident). We can infer they judged it as reasonable force in the circumstances.

Gold has broken a key support level and heading to re-trace more of the fib. Still lots of range and volatility to trade.

[Simon M @SimonMFTP]

@Iam74151982 I don't. Don't get time to game much these days. I do play Fortnite with my friend, his brother and son.

[Simon M @SimonMFTP]

Not shot in a while and it shows. Missed a few things 😅 clays only, no animals.
