Onboarding speed vs. spread for new prop accounts
asked by u/felix_a · 5d · 0 answers
Anyone else finding a noticeable bifurcation in prop firm offerings lately? Seems like you either get lightning-fast onboarding/KYB but then pay for it with slightly wider spreads on your core pairs ($EURUSD, $XAUUSD particularly), or you're stuck in a multi-week grind for compliance only to land on tighter pricing. Is the market segmenting this aggressively, or am I just hitting a string of extremes? The opportunity cost of waiting feels higher than the spread difference sometimes, especially with current volatility. Thoughts on how you weigh those two factors when evaluating new liquidity providers or prop opportunities?
