  1. Yes, take a look at the other thread mentioned, or simply Google that......its public knowledge.

  2. Hello Marketpro,

    We have made multiple statements about this actually. Firstly, he was not indicted for anything. An indictment is when you are charged for a criminal offense. His charges are for a civil matter completely unrelated to Earn2Trade. At the time of the allegations, he wasn't the CEO nor had he any ownership share of Earn2Trade.

    I did!!! I passed Apteros, after 3 months of battling with myself.

    My Hercules heel was reaching 4k-5k and losing big the next day and the next. What I mean

    big is 1k to less than $1500. Daily Loss Limit is $1500. There were no resets but there was a

    close call when after reached around 5k balance, I had losing streaks until I only had around

    2k to spend and that's half of my maximum drawdown. I noticed my complacency problem

    when I was up a considerable amount. I just hope I quelled that. My complacency included

    bad habits like trading 3 lots instead of 1-2. Sure it's nice to trade more lots but only if I am

    having a very good day and if the trade does not work out I will still be profitable. The Most

    lots I could have traded with NQ was 3 lots due to their CME type margin requirements. Just

    so you know, once I placed a trade on the Ninja Trader platform, my stoploss is automatically

    set. Without Stoploss perhaps I could have traded a max of 6 lots on NQ? Dunno, never tried

    it :).

    Frustration kicked in and so I was trading Silver, GC, RB and the Dow. On the Dow, I can

    trade 5 lots put it's not what I really trade. The feeling of being up on the account 1k, 2k, etc

    and to know that if you blew that, you have 4k to work with. This 4k can increase in the live

    account once a trader shows good Moneymanagement and consistency which I am aimed to

    do. I honestly think from a psychological experience that trading without the trailing gave me

    some kind of solidarity. I can assess and evaluate my performance better, I can plan better

    and on a volume velocity day, I can just try to make as much as the market can give me. I

    also can say if my personal daily Loss Limit was $500, I think I would have hit the target

    within two months. I had a one on one conversation with Mr. Merritt Black and my live account

    should be in a few days. I posted that I made $7700 in one day. I do not think I could have

    made that if the account was trailing fyi. BTW, I am not with Earn2Trade anymore due to bad

    money management skills. I recently got my live account with Speed UP again, their

    customer service skills need some revamping. I am up $400 on the SpeedUp but down $500

    on the Trailing. I really despise this trailing nonsense but it is what I bought into. No plans

    for FTMO right now. Just developing the mindset of trading these two accounts and

    to stay funded and steadily grow after all Mr. Black stated it's a marathon.

    Hi. I am a bit discouraged by the quarterly payment of profits. Waiting for 3 months for your money is a long time.

    And the rules are not very transparent, the path of growth, too much freedom of interpretation. If I spend my time I want to have clear rules.

    Good luck, I know how much effort it takes. The reward is only for the persistent.

    @marsku when it came to the rules, I only focused on maximum drawdown and the daily loss limit. There was a mistake I made in forgetting that I needed to close my position early on the Wednesday before thanksgiving day. One of those holidays. I thought I was disqualified. As for commissions and all that, I will not say. I thought about the duration of the payout and I said to myself that I still have my day job.
