Wait why do you think that? I actually think its a pretty solid prop firm! A 6K account could be a really good start for someone just getting into it.
What about you Boytoy? What are you using?

It's a huge waste of money for the vast majority of people who do it. They think that having a big trading account makes them a success. Actually, saving a few hundred £$ or whatever, learning to trade and then growing your account is the only sensible way for most ordinary folk to make a success at trading.

Thats one way to look at it! But dont you think prop firms have the benefit of teaching you some kind of discipline? The human mind can do wonders when it has resources, but without any drawdown limitations, things can get mesy real quick.
And why do you think its a waste of money? Im curious to hear your take!

Im UK based and I had a good experiance with Alpha Capital, but overall I prefer the classics like 5ers. i tried rebel funding once but god their platform is awfull.

prop firms can be a decent setup if u actually got the discipline, but let's be real—it's mostly just a cash cow churnin' out exit liquidity. too many guys get their style cramped by those strict drawdown limits n end up butcherin' their own edge. honestly, if u haven't nailed down ur own system yet, no amount of funded capital is gonna save u from bustin' out.
