We are forex traders as well, so we understand that navigating the world of prop trading can be challenging. Brightly coloured messages pop up promising you that you’ll get rich quickly, but we usually can’t see who is behind a prop company and it’s hard to find the information that would help us properly familiarize ourselves with the given scheme.
In this post, we’ll explain how we looked for solutions to these problems and based on what values we built up Hexa Prop.
The Decision Can’t Be Entirely Objective
Before making any purchasing decision, it is important to consider a few basic aspects. Many people believe that their decisions are driven by rational and objective considerations, such as the highest possible virtual capital or the highest possible drawdown. It seems logical to consider only these and then decide. However, this is not enough by itself!
Humans are sentient beings, so there are many more emotions that play a role in the background behind every decision than we might first think. You’ve probably felt that an offer is too good to be true, or that you’re struggling to find the answers within yourself to the questions you’re asking. It’s not a problem if, in such cases, the alarm bell goes off in your head. When we’re trying to decide which company, service provider or prop company to place our confidence, it’s good to consider your emotions as well as rational arguments.
We are traders too
We are aware that this is an extremely difficult decision. Before founding Hexa Prop, we were in the same shoes as you for many years, as traders, mentors, and robot programmers, we saw how many different areas of trading require making the right decision repeatedly, whether it’s choosing a platform, brokerage firm or strategy.
For more than ten years, we have shared our experience with our followers in the form of trainings, videos and posts, while experiencing the same challenges, difficulties and successes as they have. We know exactly what risks and goals are floating in front of your eyes, because we come from the same place as you.
Hunt for the “best” prop firms
When one of our co-founders, Andras, decided to look for a prop company with the best conditions, he spent months browsing their websites to find the one that best suited him.
Although he found good options, often with exaggerated promises and generic, advertising-sounding wording, yet in no case did he find a firm that had the personality and commitment he was looking for.
often with exaggerated promises and generic, advertising-sounding wording, yet in no case did he find a firm that had the personality and commitment he was looking for. Andras’s experience and desires, Gabor’s background as a trader, his knowledge and teaching approach, and Radu’s perfectionist programming approach provided the ideal foundation to create a prop company, with its solid technical background, quality and experience-based educational materials, and a well-thought-out, practical challenge system that would be the optimal choice for traders, including You.
