FTMO wins again, for the third time in a row, as Deloitte's fastest-growing company in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) with a 5815% growth. This confirms that a major player like Deloitte recognizes prop-firms as legitimate, enduring businesses.
JUST IN: BlackBull Markets has been removed from MT5! Fundingpips has stopped trading for all its traders. WTF? Not even leaving the US helps to keep MT5?
I reviewed
@FTMO_com
financial statements for 2022 📊 (companies in the Czech Republic are required to make their financial statements available every year). Thread🧵
JUST IN: 🇺🇸 MetaQuotes (MetaTrader 4/5) will probably soon stop supporting the prop-firms in the US by blocking US customer IP addresses. Don’t panic there are other options but this could have some impact on the industry.
JUST IN: FundingPips is back online after 7 days of service interruption. The estimated revenue loss is likely over $3M+. Now, they are offering Match-Trader. This is great news for the industry. Well done!
@Khldfx
Hey,
@DeiFunded
is your CEO a real person? When I saw him on your website, I couldn't help but think of the Netflix documentary Bitconned and their fake CEO. I hope that's not the case here.
Defunded Investigation: I had a short call with CEO Shane Healy. He is not AI-generated BUT I still think something really bad is going on with this firm and you should be really careful. More in thread🧵
For All Traders: I know that a lot of things are happening but I truly believe that prop-firms are here to stay.

@lukasstibor
& Like + Retweet this tweet. At the end of the month, I'll pick 3 of you for a $50k challenge at a prop firm of your choice
True Forex Fund is back online! After 20 days, the estimated lost revenue is probably over $4.5M. Now offering: cTrader. Also rebranded their homepage.
Update: 📢BlackBull Markets still has an MT license but they have been forced to shut down due to compliance requirements cooperation with FundingPips. (Confirmed by email with Anish L., CBDO at BlackBull Markets)
Prepare yourself for another storm 😢 A week ago I mentioned that MetaQuotes (MetaTrader 4/5) will soon stop supporting prop-firms in the US. This will be even worst and it's coming soon. Prop-firms will shift from MT4/5 to different platforms.
Spent an hour on Similarweb so you don’t have to.
@FundedNext
remains the number 1 company for the second month in a row. Here are some of the most interesting insights.🧵
I just spent few hours diving into Similarweb data. Excited to share some insights from December as I analyze the top 29 prop-firms. We have a new top-ranked prop-firm
@FundedNext
! Stay tuned for the thread🧵
JUST IN: FundedNext has just stopped selling in the US 🇺🇸. Following FTMO and FundingPips, only TFT continues to offer challenges in the US among the top 4 players. 😮
LOL 😂when MFF happened all companies started sharing how they're based on some island and now with TFT they're all sharing how they have a regulated broker/license. Hilarious déjà vu🙈
Let's analyze the WORST month in the prop-firm industry. (After most firms banned US customers, some were not operating due to issues with MQ.) here are the most interesting insights! 🧵
@TraderBach
@TraderNOK
Is it just me, or does it seem like most of the Prop-CEOs are just kids, unprofessional without a business background? They're too greedy and not thinking long-term. It's sad ☹️
It's really funny how FTMO designs strict rules. All other prop firms offer better terms, but now they are slowly adopting more stringent rules because they've found out that it's the only way to operate long-term.
Just in: FTMO acquired marketing agency eVisions (transaction around $2.5M-$4M). eVisions is the marketing agency specializing in SEO, PPC, and online marketing.
I still can’t believe that
@trueforexfunds
and
@fundedengineer
, 2 of the top 10 prop firms are temporarily down. In just two weeks and now this situation with MQ. Every day, something new. I should stay in crypto.🙈
This is hilarious. 🙈 Not accepting customers from the US but if you're from the US, you can use a VPN (in Recommended in official communication). Well played
@Maventrading
Just spent 2 hours diving into Similarweb data🕵️♂️ Excited to share some insights from October as I analyze the top 29 prop-firms. Stay tuned for the thread! 🧵✨
All prop-firms offer almost the same product but why not offer something different? ForTraders is soon launching its own tech-based Trading Tournaments. More in thread 🧵
Someone from the audience asked Otakar CEO of
@FTMO_com
why they banned the US. He replied, ‘There is no investigation. We are just protecting our business and playing it safe due to the uncertain rules in the US.
It's interesting that this month
@fortraderscom
(company only 7 months old) generated higher revenue than our developer company
@cleevio
which has been on the market since 2008 and employs 100+ people.
Just to clarify: I'm a big fan of Khaled/FP and I hope that he will resolve this issue. I'm just informing you about the prop-firm news; there's nothing personal here.
My gut feeling is that the company knows how to do marketing. They hired Dr. Shane Healy as a white-horse to look better. Please DYOR these are my thoughts based on limited information and 2 hours of research
Looks like you guys like this kind of research. Thank you for all the RTs. Should I do another research about
@FTMO_com
company structure? (They have a pretty nice holding structure that other prop firms could be inspired by.)
March - the month when King Angelo's companies went down. How was the prop-firm industry? I analyzed public data via premium SimilarWeb, so you don’t have to. Thread🧵
I don't think that what's happening with MQ is the reason why FTMO stopped selling in the US. They already have options beyond MT, yet they still cut $300k+ in their daily revenue. There must be something else going on...
Looks like
@studynikonomics
received a warm welcome from the prop-firm crew. BTW: the CEO of ArcticFunding is
@buddima_d
. If we can have a 75-year-old CEO in DEI, why can't we have a 14-year-old CMO at Arctic? 🙈
Today a new prop-firm called was launched, funded by two big Instagram influencers: Meister Trades & Dovy.FX. I know at least five more prop-firms that are launching soon.🙈
@tradertristian
Good luck, guys. I hate when someone says "rug pull" in your case, it's actually the opposite. You're doing everything that is possible. I hope it will work and the community will see that you're trying hard.🤟
1/4 of adults feel lonely. I'm considering investing in a startup aimed at solving this issue. If I do, I'll share the journey of growing a new company from zero to $10M+ or facing failure. Stay tuned.
Okay, let's make it official. I’m one of the co-founders of
@fortraderscom
along with
@jakub_ceo
and the other
@cleevio
founders. That's why I'm monitoring the prop-firm space more closely.
@michalillich
Pokud budeš Armádu odsouvat tak na to nikdy na to rozpočet nebude. Představ si pak realitu kde Trump vyhraje volby, ukončí válku na Ukrajině a odejde z Nato...fakt je lepší řešit jiné problémy?
Interesting, Otakar, the CEO of
@FTMO_com
, still thinks that most firms will be fighting for a 25% market share, while a few will control the rest. I still believe that the top 25 players will control over 80%.
Yesterday, FTMO added a fixed message to the footer popup, visible in every country and not just in the EU, stating that all accounts are demo accounts.
Guys, please take this Twitter drama to DMs. It's not helping the industry. It just looks unprofessional and damaging, not just to your two brands but to all other players as well
@MattLCEO
@savedbyfx
@tradertristian
Agree 100%! Check out ForTraders' new 'Challenge Lite' with a max cap for payout. I believe that companies offering flash sales of 50%+ or 'buy one, get one free' accounts are either in a really bad financial situation or intend to do a rug pull.
@Harshith740

@Khldfx
Actually, one of the biggest enemies of any prop firm is FUD, so I guess Khaled will not be happy about this tweet. If FUD starts to live on its own, it could destroy the firm in a matter of weeks. This applies to any firm, even FTMO.
Our development company
@Cleevio
has become the 37 fastest-growing tech company in the Central Europe according to the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 program.
Why do I love the pro-firm space? It's similar to crypto. Every day something is happening so quickly. It's like one week equals one month and one month equals one year
This new prop firm

looks interesting, thanks to owners

JUST IN: 🔥NVIDIA's earnings have just been released: higher than expectations.
NVIDIA's Q4 revenue: $22.1B, estimated at $20.6B ✅
NVIDIA's Q4 adjusted EPS: $5.16, estimated at $4.63 ✅
This is how a prop firm (financial institution) communicates with their customers, especially their VP Brin Taylor. It looks more like shitcoin/degen communication than professional behavior.
How much does FTMO lose in revenue without US customers? My estimate is $250k to $300k daily ($7.7M to $10.5M monthly), which is about 34% to 40% of their revenue. That's a game-changer!
The Bullrun is slowly coming. I've been monitoring the traffic of major crypto analytics websites like
@CoinMarketCap
or
@CoinBraincom
, and nearly all of them have experienced a 30% increase in traffic from November to December.
I can't wait for
@Fundedlions
(not banning country with best/complicated traders, not banning any traders, softbreach on daily drawdowns, 12% drawdown and weekly payout). Let's see if this will be sustainable in the long term. Good luck! I think you'll need it.
@Limitless_Noman
It seems Blueberry Markets is the next broker facing MQ issues.
@Maventrading
stopped selling in the US.
@MyFundedFX
offers services exclusively through Think Markets. Only
@Funding_Traders
still providing MT4/MT5 via Blueberry.
Short-term financial assets showed a significant year-on-year increase from $890k million in 2021 to $14.75M in 2022. In this item, the company records promissory notes with a maturity of up to 1 year 📝
I'm confused about what's going on with BTC. Is it still a bear market or has a bull run started? It looks like a bull market without retail users. When they arrive, it could be massive! I'm not complaining. 🤑
I'm deeply involved in crypto. I had an amazing times in the last bull run. Should I focus my content only on prop-firms or should I also share more about the crypto space?
