That is the correct way for looking at it for sure. Having a $50k funded account with FTMO is way better than a funded $200k account with a random unknown prop firm that you can’t know if you will receive your payout. Always stick with the Proprietary trading firms that have the payment proof and the feedback to back the payments and legitimacy of the company. Filter those firms out, then find the one that have the best trading conditions for your trading style. For example, based on my personal experience I would recommend FTMO, MFF, FundedNext, and lastly E8 Funding. There are more reliable ones out there, but these would be the ones that I found the most success with and that continue providing and working on improving on a regular basis.
