Prop Firm Payouts and Broker Liquidity Concerns
Starting to look seriously into prop firms for scaling up. My main hangup right now is less about the challenge itself and more about the back end: specifically, how robust are the brokers they use for actual payouts once you pass? I've heard some mixed things about liquidity issues translating to delays, or even unfavorable fill prices when trying to scale positions with larger notional values. Does anyone have experience where a prop firm's underlying broker infrastructure genuinely impacted their ability to exit trades cleanly or get timely payouts without excessive spread slippage?
It's a valid concern. The broker relationship and their actual liquidity are often opaque. You'd want to see some concrete evidence or at least consistent positive experiences from other traders with actual payout history, not just challenge completions.
