Educational

I must admit there was a period of turmoil, where the platform was going through restructuring if I may call it that and I wanted to leave but I stuck around and the reason for writing this review is because after the changes I feel am starting to get more value for my money again. I feel that this platform is developing my confidence as a more rounded trader through educating me more on the fundamentals and how they affect the instruments we trade. Thanks to Nick and the team.

I was offered a free subscription

I was offered a free 7-day subscription. I liked what I saw from Mentors, Andrew and Max and subscribed. Andrew and Max left after I had only been there a few months. I asked for a refund because my reason for being there was no longer there. Absolutely no response. An awful company. Thank goodness Max and Andrew started their own business. Now I am back to learning and making money.

Hi MobileMike,

You've been a member of our trading community since 26th February 2022. According to our records, on this day you started your first and only free, no-obligation 7-day trial. You proceeded to become a full member on 4th March 2022. This was your last payment and you've been a member ever since.

You’ve been highly active; logging in nearly daily. Our records don’t indicate any request for a refund. Please could we ask that you reach out to our support team to make a formal request? We would love to learn more about your experience over the past 12 months too.

As you’re probably aware, during our daily live trading streams it’s quite common for our team of analysts to collate real-time feedback from the room via our live interactive chat. We wish we had captured your feedback sooner and identified a way to ensure we were delivering on the areas you felt we had fallen short on.

It’s sad to see a review like this but we wish you all the best with alternative solutions out there that better suit your needs.

Thanks,

The HowToTrade team

True education for traders in for the long game

When I first began Forex trading, I had very little understanding of fundamentals and did not know how to digest economic news, but HowToTrade has helped me immensely. They got a great team of analysts that will go over fundamentals and economic news on stream daily basis through out trading sessions.
I have been in many trading chatroom/discords, but this is the first service where it's not about make money quick scheme, but give actual valuable education on becoming a trader in the long run.

Now on the prop firm that they launched recently. I do not have experience with other prop firms, so I cannot say much. However, I have not run into any issues so far, and the customer service is always quick to respond. I was able to pass the evaluation in a month and get a $50k funded account. Passing criteria is very reasonable. What helped me the most was that they give 180 days to finish, so I did not feel pressured to force trades and took it slow.
Thank you HTT, I hope to keep growing as a better trader with you guys, and grow my account :)

How this company has changed, not reliable anymore...

I know about this company since Andrew Lockwood and Max Norbury was giving streams. I loved how they stremed for this company. But they left this company by their own reassons and they are rising their own academy with prop funding accounts. Maybe it had to be by this people not accomplish agreements with them and being selfish as a company.

I joined and watch today stream. The content was good. But, they offer an evaluation witch you have to pay and in the stream they mentioned that you could pass the evaluation metric's and still not get founded... For what's the evaluation for, to make clients loose their time and money? Don't like that concept. It seems like a scam... Maybe Andrew and Max left by stuff like this.

Other props like MMF and FTMO has never said this.... And also the prop academy of the city traders offers reasonable time and with no surprise as not being funded after passing an evaluation.

Hi Janet,

Thanks for your review. We’re glad to read that you enjoyed our live trading streams. We’ve got a team of professionals streaming around the clock to our members in real time. They break down complex fundamentals and technical levels of interest across an array of markets to trade.

Regarding our prop arm: our goal is to fund 99.9% of those that pass our evaluation the first time, with real money. In very rare situations you could pass our evaluation and not get funded immediately.


What’s important to note is that, unlike other prop firms, we allocate our real money making us a conventional prop firm. It’s quite common these days for prop firms to merely give you a demo account if you pass their test. They are not giving you real money as we do. This means your trades never execute in the market as ours does. Any profits you create on a demo account get paid to you from other people’s evaluation fees. If you generate big profits, they 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.

We offer an academy to career-funded trader program. It’s unique in the sense that not only are we managing realistic expectations about the difficulties of trading and the tough road to becoming a professional, but we also coach you all along the way to help you work towards getting the allocation of real money to trade with.

Our risk team will make a calculated decision on how to progress with a trader who has passed the evaluation. Again, 99.9% of the time it’s a straight-through process to funding. In rare instances, we require further evidence of competence before we allocate.

We hope this provides more clarity to what was briefly defined during a live stream you watched.

Thanks,

The HowToTrade team

Too much changes in their own rules.

I was looking for a prop to buy an evaluation. I liked this one because the time it gives you is a reasonable time. I found that all the metrics they have where quite much, but I also know that with all the criteria's they put, if you achieve you are most filtered out in a lot of ways to know if you are truly rentable in this business. So, they have a good reason for those metrics and also, they give you unlimited resets. So, I understood it was fair.
I was going to buy the evaluation after the first month of the new year and I was decided for this one. Today I found that they took out the unlimited resets and changed the rules in their evaluation. They put a second step that I find contradictory in the concept I thought they were bringing to the table with the 180 period. What I find annoying and contradictory in this new step is that prop firms that have 2 step evaluation, they cut in half the metric goals and double your time in the second step and this one does the complete opposite with the time period.
In this one I was convince to go with because the time they give was reasonable to trade well with no pressure. But with this new step they put changing the comfortable trade time, to a pressure time limit of 30 days, its like they have the same mentality as other props out there that want traders to fail to grow the business from failed challenges from clients.
In the other hand, looking at these changes from only few weeks, and by some reviews that I saw I don’t find credibility in this company. A review says that an evaluation that is running freezes and the trader losses money in the account by this problem and they only apology’s and offer to restart again. Another client passed an evaluation because they said that if he passed, they were going to found him and then change their word and asked him to pay $345.00. But also, another review says that someone passed an evaluation that was paid for and they dint comply giving the founded account. They also reply in this review accepting that they dint gave the account because they have a risk desk team that “FELT” that this person was not quite ready based on several failed evaluations and they could give the money back to the person. So, if I pay an evaluation and fail and pay another and fail again few times, once I’m ready to meet all the criteria’s that you have to filter out the traders (because there are more criteria’s than other props) if I pass the evaluation your risk desk can FEEL that I’m not ready I’m not going to receive my founded account??? WHAT????? So, at the end for what are the criteria’s you put in place??? For nothing…… This can be a waste of time, effort and money.
So, by the changes I saw, and the reviews I feel that this prop firm is trying to use a hook of 180 days period, but at the end the metrics they have is to make the trader fail and if you passed you have now a second step that it’s the punch you don’t see coming to knock you out with the pressure they put by the window of 30 days.
Not going to purchase this evaluation by all these reasons, don’t want to be another person who meet all these difficult criteria’s and realize that my time was wasted because they never will give the founded account. These people are inventing or they really don’t know in the business they are in.
And doing research I found other prop that give more time with less criteria’s.

Hi Heriberto,

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.

We really want to keep unlimited retakes but too many traders were abusing this benefit but trading big and then reducing their risk immediately when they hit their target. We weren’t expecting the volume of abuse we did and we’re in pursuit of discovering talent, not gamblers.

Everything we do is to ensure we’re fair and that we’re managing risk sensibly. Our prop model will not be for everyone but if you’re wanting to trade real money, executed in the market with no conflict of interest and unlimited earning potential then we’re a rare option amidst a crowd of demo-only prop firms.

If you have any other feedback, please feel free to contact us at feedback@howtotrade.com. We’re happy to jump on a call to explain this further.

All the best with your trading!

A great place for traders

Came here for the Academy and chart/ market analysis. I am really happy how thorough they did it.

They should do something with the sound on some of the videos in the academy, though. But that is actually irrelevant regards to what you get.

They dont comply with what they sell

This People sells you an evaluation for being part of their propfirm. The time they give you is good. They also offer free repeat. I saw my husband put a lot of effort to comply with their metrics. He passed all the metrics (we have to say that they have more metrics than other propfirms) once he comply with all the metrics they dint gave him the account. They made him an interview and he did really good. They used as an excuse that he had a few free repeat and that he will have to take the evaluation again. He got really frustrated because he put in a lot of effort and they dint comply with what they were selling.. He payed for the evaluation, he passed the evaluation trade by trade, it was not by a lucky single over lot size trade, he made it trade by trade without over leverage and they still dont want to give him the accout. If you are planning to purshase this propfirm evaluation, take this experience into consideration because they could come to you the same way as they came into my husband and dont give you the account once you pass..... There are more propfirms out there that gives you a good amount off time to pass.... And not only that, they comply once you pass.... In this one they could say, hey, we know you pass, but I will not take your effort in consideration, goodbye... Not fair!

First Im just giving my feedback here, and second I belive I dont need to contact your custumer suport as you mention in the reply.

So you have metrics in place and still if the metrics are achieved you confirm that is not enough for the trader to recived what he achieved? So whats your buisness and metrics? If someone buys you multiple accounts because is failing you still sell your evaluation and get the money to your pocket, but if that person pass after a few evaluations failed you are going to tell him that you aint going to comply because he fail many times??? Thats your buisness???

By the metrics you have, dont you think you can know if it was by pure luck? And also I belive you can see all the trades that each trader make in there challenges. I belive that was not his case.

So you are saying that your mission is to help traders??? So you sell a 6 month period, but then you ask for a 30 day trading period with objectives??? In the first part you sound great not putting time pressure in the trader, but then you call an incubator to a 30 day evaluation with metrics???? An evaluation that was not talked beforehand? I see that as you are putting pressure on traders so they fail... For what reasson are you going to give 6month in the evaluation and then put pressure with a 30days maximun evaluation... All other propfirms lower your objectives and gives the trader more time... This comopany is doing the oposite....

So you think is fair that someone purshase something from you, put money, time and effort to meet your criterias and then say to that person, hey, listen, I will not give you what I promise in this deal even if you achive, I will give your money back.. What about the time and effort???? For what are you selling evaluations with criterias and oportunities you offer and ask for and then dont comply.

I belive this company has to get better in this part so it can really comply with what they sell and be more serious with their clients. If the company continúe doing this, it will make people lose their time like with my husband.

Hello Janelysv,

Thank you for your feedback.

We take our role as educators and capital allocators very seriously. Unlike most prop firms, we fund our customers with real money to trade with. The process of evaluation, verifying traders' behaviour, knowledge and risk appetite is always taken into consideration before we assign funds. In our Terms & Conditions upon joining, we’re upfront about our funding program and the steps to go through before funding is allocated.

We’re frequently funding traders and it’s based on passing trading objectives but also reassuring our risk desk team that you’re ready to trade a significant amount of real capital. On this occasion, it was felt that your husband was not quite ready based on several failed evaluations previously. We required further evidence confirming that the passed evaluation was not by chance.

Our mission is to help traders get to a position where they are not only ready to trade but are ready mentally to control a sizeable funded account. As capital allocators, we’re looking to put money to work and ensure it’s being managed appropriately for mutual financial gain.

Our risk team did offer a full refund to your husband or the offer to go into our 30-day incubator so he can further evidence his trading results.

The option is there to try again and we respect whichever route suits you best.

If you have any further feedback or questions, please contact our support team.

Thank you

Its not just one factor - yes, numerous factors actually

Its not just one factor, i could name a few starting with the youtube channel, the trading room. I feel that because i bumped into Forx Signals, my study time is going to be of quality and most likely shorter as compared to if I had not bumped into the website. I have also been prepared on what to realistically expect. I am not entirely ready but I understand what I am getting into. I hope to be financially ready to subscribe in a week or two

The presentations make the process a lot less daunting. My confidence as trader had sky rocketed from the first batch of videos. I wish to finish this course and get funded one day. That would be great. Appropriately named HowToTrade did indeed teach me how to trade. I enjoyed their YouTube videos also.
