Seeing more talk about payout consistency on larger account sizes; wondering if firms operating on a pooled liquidity model vs. direct broker access are showing any noticeable differences in their ability to process withdrawals smoothly, especially beyond the initial few smaller payouts.
That's a good point about the payout consistency. I've noticed that firms with clearer terms regarding their capital allocation and withdrawal processes tend to be more reliable, regardless of their internal model. Have you looked into the average withdrawal times for larger sums specifically?
It's an interesting thought, though I suspect the 'larger accounts' are already well into the territory where a prop firm's internal plumbing becomes less relevant than their actual access to capital. At a certain point, it's less about the model and more about whether they actually have the money, or if it's all just 'on paper' for marketing. Perhaps the real question is how many are actually hitting those payouts consistently enough to test the theory.
