On the same forum: "I added a second funded account with MFF in 9 days. Although their minimum trading days to pass challenge is 5 days, if you pass early on the 5th day, you are immediately given access to next phase. I was able to trade phase 2 in the 5th day morning right after I passed phase 1. My funded account was given me in the 5th day phase 2 morning, when I passed phase 2, and I got funded account access 2 hours after I sent in my signed contract. MFF used to be slow, but after automation, now everything is fast, it is much faster than FTMO. Compared with FTMO, there is no cons for MFF, only pros. Challenge is easier, price is cheaper, customers service is fast."
All that really matters is that the firm will pay you your share of the profits you generate promptly and consistently when you make a withdrawal request. Whether the trades are done with a “real” Account or not doesn’t matter —IF— the firm has a reputation for paying the full amount due to you promptly and consistently. Additionally - firms that offer fixed daily loss drawdowns below the zero line and fixed max total loss drawdowns that are below the zero line are definitely more favorable to the trader— —as opposed to firms that only offer trailing drawdowns and/or firms that eliminate drawdowns (meaning they eliminate their funding) once you hit a certain profit amount are to be avoided at all cost in my opinion
Why would you even have a weekend hold restriction on a swing combine? What is the point? The weekend swings in the futures are no lessor or greater than during the week overnight? Weird.
