Onboarding speed and slippage consistency with prop firm brokers

asked by u/sota65 · 19d · 2 answers

Anyone else finding the KYB process with some of these prop firms to be a total drag, especially when trying to get multiple accounts set up? More critically, once you're in, are you seeing significant discrepancies in execution speed or slippage compared to direct retail brokers? I've noticed a few instances where my $EURUSD or $XAUUSD orders seem to fill a tick or two off when the market's moving, and I'm trying to gauge if this is a platform issue, liquidity route for the prop firm, or just an unlucky streak on my end. It adds up when you're scaling positions.

    The KYB process is definitely a mixed bag, depends heavily on the firm. Regarding slippage, it's a constant concern, especially with those high-volume pairs. Have you tried comparing fill reports directly from the prop firm with what you're seeing on your end?

    The KYB process definitely varies wildly, and it's frustrating when you're trying to diversify. On the slippage front, I've seen it too, especially on fast moves; it makes me wonder if their liquidity pools are as robust as direct brokers, or if it's just the nature of routing through an intermediary.
