Yes, a bit at a time. For many weeks. I read a VERY long thread in another forum where many people discuss them all.
I read many review sites (some I do not trust).
I sent questions by email to a few firms.
We all must “do own research,” no?
I reject many/most. I have 3 now, to consider. I don’t know which of 3 to try. I am not ready yet anyway. The 3 are Topstep, Tradeday, Earn2Trade. Just my opinion.
I heard about Topstep during 2017-2020 when I was active on the Babypips forum, but it was for Future. I also did some research work on other Prop firms but couldn’t proceed because I was busy managing my business at that time.
Topstep was originally set up for futures only, and remains for futures only, now.
It had a brief attempt at CFD’s as well, with a separate venture called TopstepFx, which it eventually gave up on (I don’t know why). From your comment above, I guess that must have been during the 2017-2020 period you mentioned when you were active here?
Trade2Win is slightly different from the other two mentioned above by @AnnaProbably : they don’t fund the successful traders themselves - they’re just a “clearing-house”/”qualifying-house” and have an association with two separate funding businesses which fund their successful triallists.
Sorry, it was typo error, wrongly typed wasn’t instead of was.
