I recently joined the group and will definitely recommend it to aspiring traders.

I recently joined the Academy and I am learning so many fascinating concepts and techniques about trading. The analysts (Nick, Shain and Connor) are very professional in their approach and really take their time to properly explain in plain English the nitty gritty details of trading. I just watched a module on smart money concepts delivered by Connor and I found it so memerising that I watched it over again a second time. He explained the whole concept without using technical jargons and it was quite easy to follow and understand. I can't wait to move forward in my learning journey with the Academy.

Top Educational Site on How to Trade the Markets

Excellent educational site on How to Trade. The group of analysts is all completely different but really know their stuff. Daily video streams on how to trade, cover a wide range of things you need to know to become a successful trader. The three analysts are great, Nick the man knows just about everything to do with trading, an unreal amount of knowledge, and how to do things. Then we have Shain, no B.S., straight to the point, and he knows how to scalp. Last but not least, my Man, Connor, an assassin on the trading front, I have learned an incredible amount of things from his daily video streams and his killer tutorial videos. Yes, I have been on other sites and have an open mind on how to get better at trading. However, I am willing to bet the FARM, that there is nothing like it out in the market that comes even close to this group of individuals. They bring the goods every single day, congratulations to you all, awesome work and keep it up.

Evaluation Rules are not fair for everyone.

So, I came across this company on a Youtube ad, and decided to give it a shot, So far I'm on the road to pass the first challenge really soon. What I really dislike about this company is that you HAVE to give them 100 trade set ups in an 180 Day period for the first challenge, and the reason I don't like that is because I don't trade every day. there are 125 days left for me, yet I've only been in the market for about 25 days and only have 47 trade set ups. only way I'll pass is if I change my trading strategy and force myself into the markets just to get those100 trade set ups. just wish they would accustom to swing traders as well. Another thing that I don't like is that they change the leverage to 1:10, so If it wasn't for those two things, this would've been the perfect company for me and would have given them 5 stars. The last reason why im giving them 3 stars is because they keep changing their terms. I bought an account with the new years special and they were saying that it was for 50k, and a few weeks ago the website says that the price was for a 10k account so I had to ask support about it, but because I bought it before they changed it, I should still be getting my 50k.

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for your feedback.

We give 180 days (which is longer than most prop trading firms, normally they give 30 days) as we want to give more flexibility to different trading behaviour. Your realised trades allow us to determine if you have an edge or if your results are a “random result”. We’ve therefore stated a minimum number of realised trades required for us to make this assessment. Unlike most prop firms, we allocate real capital and therefore take a very calculated approach to risk. We've funded 98% of traders this month so far, so it is possible.

Our prop firm has been in Beta (testing mode and subject to change) since it launched last year, and we've had to adapt the terms as we manage risk and monitor for abuse. Hence, we include the evaluation as part of the HowToTrade trading room membership (which includes way more than just the prop evaluation).

You are eligible for a $50K account should you pass the stages, nothing has changed for you there.

If you would like to arrange a call with one of our analysts, please drop them a private message and they will be happy to explain the process and discuss your evaluation or any other feedback.

Thanks,

The HowToTrade team

I like the live streams they do

I like the live streams they do. They are very informative and is a great learning tool. I especially like Shain and his explanation of the macro fibs. Looking forward to the new learning materials they are putting together. They also explain in details of how inflation works and how that effects the markets.

This is the second time I’m leaving a…

This is the second time I’m leaving a review as I’ve been really going through a tough time.

Im unfortunately home bound due to a medical condition but have learnt trading and passed other people firms but calways felt the pressure because of the time limit, so I came across how to trade ads in big bold writing now time limit so I thought they seem genuine. C

First the issues were the broker freezing nearly everyday to the point trades were going into losses because of this… I eventually got a free retry.

The criteria to pass is just crazy.. pips expectancy, short/long ratio, trades need to be more than 3 mins… have to trade full 30 days and now i just found out there’s a second stage i will need to do for another 30 days which clearly is hidden… I’ve hit my target already in phase 1 but now have to wait further 10 days and finish 100 trades.

After reading reviews that people are being rejected a live account after going through all that hard work is really upsetting.

If I have these issues then will be leaving a video review of this company on YouTube.

Is there any positives? No time limit and the fact they have fixed their broker issue finally. That’s it.

There are other people forms I’ve found recently just 1 step challenge and then to live account, if how to trade want to become a successful prop firm then they really need to make huge changes to their rules and some of them their live chat cannot even explain.

Hello Kayes,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us.

We completely understand that passing our evaluation and not getting funded right away can be frustrating. We want to reassure you that this step is in place to ensure that our traders are ready to trade with real capital and succeed in the markets. Unlike other prop firms, we provide our traders with real money, which means your trades execute in the real market. We believe this 30 day incubator step is the best way to help our traders succeed and to prepare their mindset for trading a large amount of capital in the market. So far this year, we’ve funded 98% of traders.

Something to keep in mind whilst you research different prop firms is most of them will pay any profits you create on a demo account and you get paid to you from other people’s evaluation fees. If you generate big profits, they typically won’t pay out as you’re taking money from their pocket. Meanwhile, with us, any profits you generate in the markets are limitless and without conflict of interest. However, our model doesn’t come without risk as funded traders could lose our real capital. Whilst we do cover any losses we rightfully conduct due diligence on who we’re allocating to. This is why we take extra steps.

In terms of the broker demo account technical issue, please see our response to your previous review. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the technical issue at the time with our partnering broker's demo account. The issue was fixed with our partnering broker and we tried to help those traders impacted by offering a free evaluation.

We understand your furstration Kayes and accept that we’re not for every type of trader. We appreciate your feedback and want you to know that we are always striving to improve our service. If you have any other comments or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact our team. We would be more than happy to arrange a call and discuss any further feedback.

Thanks,

The HowToTrade team

I'm just at first curious of what is trading in market about and how it is like to have some basic knowledge of understanding but when I took up the free trading trainings I kind a liking it to go further because it sparks some interests within me, the teaching is clearly delivered and understand, structured, strategic, direct and can actually apply it after learning some modules.

Trading with "HowtoTrade.com

Hi all

I've been trading for almost 5 years now and as it normally goes, I had my up's and down's regarding trading success.
I've joined "How To Trade" at "howtotrade.com" about 6 months ago and I can honestly say that I've learnt more since I've joined "How To Trade" than in all my previous years of trading.
With several "Live streams" every day regarding all aspects of trading, (Fundamentals, Technical, Trading strategies, Psychology, Market analysis and News events and most importantly, Risk management), the well versed and knowledgeable analysts have a very clear and precise way of explaining these topics and give excellent trade advise.
At Howtotrade.com they really focus on education and training successful traders for life, hence the excellent "Trading academy" that is at your disposal and is constantly evolving.
They also run a very educational "YouTube" channel, "ForexSignals TV" that complements the trading academy very well.
I also enjoy the fact that I can be part of an active community, partaking in their discussions, ideas and views.
Behind the scenes is a very friendly and competent support team who is always available and able to assist in every area you might need help in.

How To Trade together with Think Huge also run a great Prop Firm trading program that is changing my life day by day.

I can honestly recommend How To Trade to anyone who's taking their trading seriously and looking for invested partners to work with.

Blessings and happy tradings

Still an unfair company in the PROP FIRM SIDE.

On Friday February 3 I contacted again the personal of support of How to Trade. They created a ticket to escalate the situation because they were not able to help me.

They have not given me 1 good reason why they banned me out the community I paid for.
Still waiting for them to contact me.

They owe me access to the academy and a funded account.

2/15/2023 Update

On 2/11/2023 I received the email I was waiting for. They took time on 2/15/2023, to make the reunion I was asking for to clear things out and understand better of each other.

We had the reunion on 2/15/2023 and it was a great conversation. I wished this conversation was made before making things public but, things are how they are, and we can't change them. It's just a case of turning the page and move forward.

We agreed to work together in a way where they feel less risk of their side. Not the way I was thinking when I was taking the evaluation, but I made a compromise to work in a way where I can escalate the account and have what I was evaluated for.

And in other hand they are giving me back the access to the community witch I enjoyed a lot and learned a lot since my beginning in this journey. Looking forward to joining back the community with mentors I respect a lot.

This maybe the beginning of great things or who knows. Looking forward for the next stage.

Thanks for contacting me and for doing the appropriate.

Update 2/17/2023
After the good conversation we had, I suppose they want to be fair and try to solve the problem they created in a good way. I accepted less than what I paid for and knew it was unfair but accepted. The agreement stayed in nothing because the only thing they wanted was me to erase the reviews I left of my experiences with them. I made an update on this post to start talking the new experiences because they asked me so, but after that, it was not enough for them.

They blackmailed me, they said if I don't delete the reviews, I will not receive the account. I said no, I updated one, and that's what I was willing to do. And after that they are threatening me, that if I leave another review, I will face legal actions.

4mont passing their evaluation and more than a month in this situation. Super bad prop firm to buy and take time to pass.

They say the terms of service say that you may not receive the account even if you pass. but the reasons they gave me is that they FEEL and THINK they run risk giving me the account which I passed. And the other thing is, he says I dint pass the interview. I have the interview and the only question I failed was the lot and pips question, all other question were answered with the knowledge they give in the academy. And the other thing is that the evaluation is not part of their metric, my metric say PASSED, ALL OF THEM.....

Soon I let here in another review my full experience of the blackmailing from their part and the threatening from them. I don't have characters available to write my full experience in this review.

But be aware that this people could make you lose your time and money. Super bad service.....

Sounds to good to be true!

I saw a good ad on Facebook of this site offering a 2.5 million to manage in funds. It was impressive.

Then I enter I step with a reality that they want 100 realized trading opportunity, too much. And after that they also have a second step that has less days available than the first step. This is contradictory.
Anyone who knows how this work can understand that by this metrics, they want to make the trader fail. Most prop have less metrics and gives more time in second step. The 2,5 million sound great, but that’s all, a hook. No thanks.

And by looking the reviews they have, the ad sounds to pretty to be true. Even people who had passed these metrics are not funded because they dint want to comply with their clients. What a business.

We have not been able to identify who this reviewer is but we note the writing style is familiar to a person that has already left their feedback and has therefore been flagged with Trust Pilot.

Howtotrade allocates real capital to traders who pass our due diligence and risk assessment. Most prop companies today ask you to do an assessment on demo and then merely give you a demo account at the funded stage. Any profits you generate on demo derive from the other customers assessment fee creating a conflict of interest. If you generate big profits, these other prop firms won't pay out because you're taking money from the companies pocket.

This is not how we operate. Instead, because we're funding you with real money we take our due diligence seriously.

Our target is to fund 99.9% of traders who pass the assessment but sadly there are situations where the risk is too high for us. Everyone who passes the assessment gets refunded the administration fee. This is inline with our terms and conditions which traders clearly agree to before they enrol.

Giving a marketing to attract clients only

This site is called Forex Signals/How to trade... When I asked for the signals they say they don't offer that service anymore. So why Forex Signals? Really disappointed... And in the other hand what they seem to offer, looks like a Ponzi scheme, offering to much so you subscribe, and at the end when your see the reality they have unrealistic expectations. Not good...
