Speaker A
This is a prop firm tier list coming from a prop firm trader who has $1.3 million in payouts and does this for a full-time living. So, we're going to get right into it. I'm going to talk about each firm here if I've traded with them,
00:12
Speaker A
and then obviously rank them in the tier list. I'll go over my personal experience with them, how they treated me as a trader, uh, and then just talk about some of the hidden rules that some of these have. So, hopefully this
00:21
Speaker A
can give you a little bit of insight into how to start prop trading. And make sure you don't buy any of these accounts that will not pay you out. And make sure to always buy the ones with the best rules. So, first of all, we
00:31
Speaker A
have Tradeify. Now, obviously, we're going to start with the S tier first because Tradeify might be one of the best firms out there currently.
00:39
Speaker A
Uh, they have a very, very good live program. They literally will pay you a monthly salary to trade live for them, which is amazing. Not many other firms do that. The rules are very simple. They also have the select plan. So, you can
00:50
Speaker A
choose daily payouts or you can choose weekly payouts that are much larger. So, literally, whatever works for your trading style, Tradeify will have something for you. They've never denied me a payout. They've paid me probably over $120,000 worth of payouts in the
01:02
Speaker A
last year. No denying, no problems with them. So, just going to be S tier. They have so much variety. Amazing live account, no payout denials. Next, we have Day Traders. There's, I guess, two icons here, and I'm going to put them in
01:14
Speaker A
scammed, unfortunately. Uh, what happened with them was I made, I believe, $42,000 in total across three funded accounts. I took one payout from each for $3,000. They paid it instantly, which was, which was nice. Uh, and then they deleted all three of them and moved
01:28
Speaker A
me to a $7,000 live account. So, um, it wasn't really in the rules where they take all of your funded accounts, delete all three of them, and then give you a $7,000 live account. I guess you could go D tier because they did pay me out. Uh,
01:42
Speaker A
but it was kind of a kind of a scam in that sense. I'll just put the second one over here. But if you're trading with them, please do not make too much money on your funded account because they will
01:52
Speaker A
send you to a live account and they will delete 75% of that profit. Next, we have Apex. Apex is very interesting.
02:00
Speaker A
Many people will have it at a different ranking. Honestly, it's just based on their personal experience with them. I'm going to say A tier. The reason for that is they did ban me, but it wasn't like a scam sort of ban like some other
02:13
Speaker A
sites I'll get into. Apex paid me over $60,000 worth of payouts. And what they told me was eventually at some point that my trading practices do not match up with their firm trading practices pretty much. So what Apex ended up doing
02:26
Speaker A
was saying you're not allowed to buy any more accounts with us, but the accounts that you have, you can keep trading them. You can keep getting payouts, which was obviously very kind of them since I had a good sum of money in my
02:34
Speaker A
Apex accounts. But they kept paying me 100% profit split, uh, which is very nice as well. They also have good variety. They have the trailing accounts, the end of day accounts. Uh, the end of day accounts are a bit hard
02:46
Speaker A
to get the payout on just because there's a daily loss limit and there's a buffer and there's consistency. But they're super cheap and you can have 20 of them, which is why it's in the A tier.
02:57
Speaker A
If they remove the daily loss limit, maybe it comes up to S. But with the daily loss limit, consistency, and buffer, it's one of the harder ones to get a payout on. But again, super cheap and they will not deny you a payout as
03:07
Speaker A
long as you follow the rules. And they recently did some update where they're putting a lot more payouts.
03:12
Speaker A
Next, I'm not sure what this one is. Let's move to the back. Funded Next Futures. Uh, we'll do A tier as well.
03:17
Speaker A
They've paid me, I believe, $78,000 worth of payouts. Uh, they have a really nice Bolt account. Uh, if you saw my previous video, I made $57,000 on my five across my five Bolt accounts.
03:29
Speaker A
Not 250K, uh, just 57K total on my five Bolts. And they're apparently going to let me take a daily payout of 1.2K, 2K from each account, I think forever. So, uh, 80% split is why it's not the S tier,
03:43
Speaker A
but they have so much variety. They have three different account types. Uh, they have Bolt, Legacy, and Rapid. I would recommend just going with the Bolt just because you're able to get payouts on your first day. So, if you make $3,000
03:54
Speaker A
in your first day, then you can withdraw anything above $2,000 of profit. So, you can withdraw a thousand, which is amazing.
04:00
Speaker A
So, Funded Next is going to get A tier. No issues with payouts, no issues with anything. Just I don't like that the split is not as high and the accounts are a bit expensive compared to other sites, but they work as expected.
04:14
Speaker A
Next, Alpha. I know a lot of people like Alpha Futures, but it's going to have to go in B tier, maybe C. We'll see.
04:20
Speaker A
We'll see what some of these other ones come into, and so it'll help me sort of rank them a bit better, but I'm just going to go B tier. Uh, the payouts are very nice. They paid me 75K or so. The
04:29
Speaker A
problem was I did so well on them. I made 75K in my first month with them. I instantly got sent to a live account and they're paying me $1,571 per month to trade the live account, which is, I, it's
04:41
Speaker A
fine with me, I guess. Uh, the only problem was I had a lot of money in my account, like 40 or 40 to 50K profit in my account, and I got a 10K live account plus a monthly salary. I guess it's not
04:50
Speaker A
bad. Um, just the problem overall with Alpha Futures is it's one of the worst sites in general in terms of expected value. Uh, and that's just from my personal experience. Like it's the one that I have one of the lowest returns on
05:04
Speaker A
except for Take Profit Trader, but I'll get there. Uh, it has one of my personal lowest returns. It does have good variety with all the plans. It has standard payout splits, pretty standard rules. Just the cost compared to the
05:17
Speaker A
amount of drawdown that they give you is not the best. So, you should be looking elsewhere. Uh, what I recommend, I mean at the end of the video, uh, is just to go with the S tier sites as
05:26
Speaker A
you're getting payouts, as you're maxing out the S tier sites, add on an A tier site, maybe a B tier eventually, but add on the A tier where you're getting something that you don't have on the S tier, if that makes sense. Like the
05:39
Speaker A
reason you would add Apex is so you can have 20 accounts. No S tier account, no S tier site will have that. The reason to add Funded Next is just for the daily payouts. And you can sort of, is what I
05:49
Speaker A
do is I create a living by doing this by getting consistent payouts. So I have Funded Next for the daily payouts whenever I'm doing good every day. Apex for large chunks of payouts at once.
05:57
Speaker A
Obviously, I don't trade with them anymore, but that's sort of what you could look into. Uh, if you have Funded Next for the daily payouts and you pass Tradeify, maybe choose the weekly payout option on the Tradeify because they're
06:06
Speaker A
weekly larger payouts. But Funded Next gives you that consistent daily income where if you do good one day, you're able to take that out in a payout.
06:14
Speaker A
Um, you really have to look into the rules and be strategic when adding a new site. Don't just say, "I like this site, this site, and this site. I've heard the best about it online." Find what works best with your trading style. Some of
06:23
Speaker A
these sites are best for people who like to do large winning days. Some of them are best for people who like to do plus 500, 500, 500, very consistent winning days. So, you'll definitely just, just read the rules on every site before you
06:35
Speaker A
trade. They also have some hidden rules. Next, Blue Guardian Futures right down into the scam spot instantly. Uh, very funny story actually. I made $30,000 across three accounts, so 10K on each. I requested a payout of $4,000 on each
06:49
Speaker A
account. And what they said was
07:02
Speaker A
"You didn't answer our questions well enough, and you're not allowed to use our platform anymore." So, they deleted $30,000 worth of funded account profit, denied my payout, and they've done the same to others. It's it's all over Reddit. Just Google blueg guardian
07:14
Speaker A
futures AI interview or something. It'll be on there. So, uh they're down here. Blue Sky personally have not used them.
07:21
Speaker A
I believe it's good for live account trading. Funded funding takes. I believe this is funding takes. Yeah, it is. So, obviously, they're not a firm anymore.
07:30
Speaker A
They dissolved because they were not paying people out. I know a lot of people that had $30,000 worth of profit in their accounts and the firm just deleted itself. So, I guess it's it just has to go down here. I believe this is
07:41
Speaker A
Lelu. Have not used them. Vidius have not used FXI futures. Uh FXI is really known in the Forex space. Um this is actually a hard one to rank. I might go see just because they have a really bad move to live program
07:57
Speaker A
where if you make a lot of money, they're going to delete most of it. So, honestly, it's just not worth using. I guess I'll just put it here. It's It's just not worth using. So, just don't use these. And obviously, don't use these.
08:07
Speaker A
This should be tick tick trader. If it's not, then I apologize, but we're just going to pretend it's tick tick trader.
08:14
Speaker A
It's going down here as well. Again, same thing as Blue Guardian. They just deleted all of my accounts because they scammed Trade of Eate. They actually scammed Trade of Eate, I believe. Uh, so they had some licensing issue, some data
08:25
Speaker A
display issue. I believe they were displaying trade of eight's data for free or something. Can't remember exactly, but they basically just got sued by trade of eight and then obviously had delete everyone's accounts.
08:35
Speaker A
Funded next we already did, so I'll just put that at the back here. This is triple F funded futures family. This is an interesting one. I'm going to go B tier as well. They have pretty standard accounts. It's very cheap, which is
08:49
Speaker A
nice. Uh the reason why it's B for me is just because they said I'm personally not allowed to trade with them anymore.
08:55
Speaker A
Uh they of course didn't give a reason like most of the firms that I trade with once I make 50 to 100k profit on they'll just send messages saying hey you're not allowed to trade with us anymore u and
09:04
Speaker A
but nothing nothing you can do about that but I would say B tier until you get up to that point and then obviously you're not allowed to use them anymore but it's very nice to obviously diversify your portfolio. I probably
09:17
Speaker A
haven't traded with them in 6 months so I unfortunately cannot rank them higher. I'm not familiar with the rules right now but they will pay out. But uh no payout issues with them, just not a lot of experience with them. Elite Trader
09:27
Speaker A
Funding, just going to go Ctier. Uh they just have not had the best account options for me personally. The payout caps are really, really small, like $1,000. And there's no real reason to be trading when you have 1k payout caps. Or
09:41
Speaker A
you could go to top and get a 5k payout cap. So it's just going to go and see.
09:45
Speaker A
Again, it's something you can add eventually in the future if you looking for a very specific account type that this will help you out with. So, just keeping it Ctier for now. Not sure what this is. So, have not used earned a
09:57
Speaker A
trade. I've not used that as well. Futures Elite. It's going to go I want to put it here, but I think I'll put it here. Uh they were just they were making stuff up about an IP rule saying that I
10:10
Speaker A
traded in a location, which was my university. I traded in university. Someone else traded the same site at the same university. We're both on university Wi-Fi. And they classified both of us, even though I didn't know who this person was, they classified us
10:24
Speaker A
as sort of like group trading, like I was teaching them or they were teaching me and they just denied payouts for that. Uh I did have payouts approved before that. So up to you if you had them. I just there's literally no reason
10:35
Speaker A
to. GoFunded Futures. This honestly I'll give it a B. They pay out every time. Um the only the accounts are really cheap.
10:43
Speaker A
They pay out every time. The only problem is 80% split and they have payout windows. You can only request a payout on a specific set of days. It's like the 8th to the 10th and the 20th to 23rd, something like that. The platform
10:55
Speaker A
is not the best. Well, they do straight away, but I mean like their dashboard is not the best. It's really, really hard to understand what's going on, what's wrong. The support team is incredibly incompetent. They don't speak English
11:06
Speaker A
very well. So, they're not able to help me when I have a question like, "Why is my account not ready for a payout?" They don't know. I'm not sure. This might be Legends Trading. Have not used them personally.
11:16
Speaker A
Aqua Funded, I believe. Have not used. I think this is Lucid. I'm just going to say that this is Lucid. Uh because it looks like Lucid. This is Lucid's going to be S tier for sure. Lucid I had a
11:27
Speaker A
really great experience with. I believe I spent $5,000 over the course of two months to buy some instant funed accounts and they paid me $60,000 from $5,000 worth of spending. So, incredible return on the investment there. And then
11:40
Speaker A
they moved me to a live account. Uh the way they did the live account, it's very different now, but back in the back in the day, uh probably like actually it was October, so six months ago or so,
11:51
Speaker A
they gave me a live account and now I'm still trading on that live account. So, uh yeah, Luc and I very great relationship. So, very thankful everything they've done for me and obviously the trading community as well.
12:02
Speaker A
Uh they're very uh spoke they speak out a lot about problems that they're going through that other firms are going through. Very transparent. So, that's always something you want to see in a prop firm. So definitely would recommend
12:13
Speaker A
you to use Lucid obviously along with Tradeify. Lucid, I would just say go with the flex accounts. Uh there's no reason to use accounts with daily loss limits and there's no real at least in my opinion. I mean it might work for
12:25
Speaker A
your trading style, but I personally don't like the ones with daily loss limits since I feel like every time I hit the daily loss limit, I see another trade that I want to take on that account. Maybe it's good that it saves
12:34
Speaker A
me from doing it, but uh I like to use a lot of accounts so I do not like being restricted for the day. But prices are very good. They do discounts a lot of the time and overall just S tier.
12:45
Speaker A
They'll always pay you out pretty much instantly actually. Not sure what this is. This is Bulonox. I don't know how to pronounce it. Uh Bulonox. Bulanox is going to go Btier just because you can only have three funded accounts or
12:58
Speaker A
something and the payout cap is 1.5K on the 50k. Anything larger than the 50k, it's not really worth your money because the activation fee is so large. I actually passed like a 250k account a while back and the activation fee was
13:11
Speaker A
$900. So, I was like, you know what? I'm not even going to pay that. So, it's just sitting in my dashboard right now.
13:18
Speaker A
Um, but maybe I'll activate eventually. Just Btier. They always pay out. The only problem is you need 10 trading days and 40% consistency. So, it does take a really long time and the payout is only 1,500 on the 50k. You can only have
13:30
Speaker A
three at once. So, with 22 trading days in a month, you're getting a 9K payout max per month, which is, you know, it's not bad. Uh, but if you're trying to scale, there's no point in using them.
13:40
Speaker A
So, just going to go here. Trade day. Trade day, I want to put it in A, but I have to put it in B. The reason for that is, uh, they have really good payout rules. The Eval is a bit hard to pass.
13:53
Speaker A
30% consistency, five winning days, minus 2K, plus 3K, like the standard profit target, but it takes a while to pass the EVO out. 5 days with 30% consistency is not my favorite just cuz I don't like being on the eval phase for
14:04
Speaker A
so long. Uh and then personally I took about 20k in payouts I believe and then they sent me an email saying uh you're no longer allowed to trade with us. Your trading is your trading was reviewed by the head of management and we just don't
14:15
Speaker A
want to trade with you anymore. I have a couple people I talked to. They send the same email to everyone who makes exactly 20K. So it's good to make 20K from it, but then you're not allowed to trade
14:23
Speaker A
with them anymore. So I guess that's why it's going to be in the the B tier from now. These sites are really ones that you can make consistent amount of money on. So, I guess what I'm ranking despite
14:30
Speaker A
how much money you can make. So, these the order seems pretty good so far. I have no idea what this is, but it's just going to go over there for now. The futures desk. I have not used them. I
14:42
Speaker A
know Topep recently acquired them, which is really good. So, I'm pretty confident they'll pay you if the one in charge.
14:48
Speaker A
This is Alpha again. We already ranked Alpha. Take Profit Trader. I wish it could go in A, but it's going to have to go in B just because it's not it's not on the level of these A tier
14:59
Speaker A
sites. The reason for that is they do have daily payouts, which is great. The only problem is 80% profit split and the intraday trailing draw down. The way intraday trailing draw down works is instead of at the end of the day like
15:08
Speaker A
the end of day trailing draw down at 3 p.m. or sorry 4 p.m. EST on an end of day your draw down will trail up and lock on the intraday one it keeps going as you're making money in the account.
15:20
Speaker A
So you can make a really good trade, come all the way back down to break even and you might lose the account. If it just barely edged your profit target, come back to break even, you could lose the account because of the way intraday
15:31
Speaker A
trading draw down works. So if you want to use this firm or Apex intraday, just watch a video on how intraday works, intraday trailing draw down is what it's called, just because you don't want to lose an account just because you don't
15:41
Speaker A
understand the rule. So just watch a quick YouTube video on that. Uh they do have daily payouts though, which is why it's Btier 80% as well. And the accounts are pretty cheap. I will say make sure you reset the accounts. I do the 150s.
15:54
Speaker A
It's $216 to purchase the account. And then if you reset, it's only $100. No activation fee as well if you use the little discount code. So I want to put an A almost. It's like in between these two, but I'll just put it as B since
16:07
Speaker A
there's other A tier sites like E8. E8 futures. Most people honestly have not heard of E8. I think that's because it's pretty big in the forex industry. He personally literally has paid me like $220,000 worth of payouts. Like I don't
16:22
Speaker A
want to say instantly, but like within 12 hours. I've never had a problem. Uh if I have a problem, their support team responds instantly, which is really really nice as opposed to most of these where you have to wait like 3 days. So
16:32
Speaker A
honestly, it's just going to go a tier because they paid me so much. Uh the rules have changed a little bit. Back when I was trading them, they had uncapped payouts after the fifth one.
16:40
Speaker A
Now it's it's capped. But I mean, the return on your investment with EA can be incredibly good if you're a good trader.
16:46
Speaker A
Uh, basically, I don't want to say uncapped, but I mean like if you're consistently making money as a trader, they'll consistently let you keep buying accounts. They'll let you take payouts.
16:54
Speaker A
Um, and I don't believe they have a live program. So, they're not really limiting anyone in that sense, which is why I personally like it since I'm getting sent to live obviously on a lot of these firms. I'm on Tradeify, Lucid, Funded. I
17:04
Speaker A
was on Funded Next, not anymore. All right, Topstep. Top just has to be S tier. I think it might be the best proper site of all time. I don't want to make any bold bold claims here, but they've paid me probably $275,000.
17:19
Speaker A
Might be 290 if I because I just requested 15K a few days ago. So somewhere 270 290. Literally never had a payout denied. They have 5k max payout, which is insane. Not many other firms will do that. They'll cap usually at 3k.
17:33
Speaker A
I know Alpha does 15k, but uh this thing costs like three times the amount as a top step and it gives you I don't know, just too many rules. But literally, Topstep will give me 5k payout. You can
17:45
Speaker A
get like three accounts up to 10k profit and take a 15k payout, which is really, really a good amount of money. And it's honestly not incredibly hard to make 10k if you're on the 150ks because you're given $4,500 worth of draw down. And
17:59
Speaker A
their payout rules are literally just winning days. So, five winning days of $150 and you can take out half of your balance up to 5k. Uh the evals are pretty standard, just 50% consistency.
18:08
Speaker A
same as I guess the majority of evaluation sites, but just S tier and and overall payout size is probably my favorite thing about them. The live account recently, they've had some problems with the live accounts. Just be careful. If you're trading on TopEep and
18:24
Speaker A
you're very and you're a good trader. If you're like a newer trader, a mediocre trader, then it's it's good to trade on Topep normally. But if you're a very good trader and you're making a lot of money trading on prop firms uh more than
18:36
Speaker A
say 20k a month then uh you need to be careful because live account they will send you live uh pretty much at a random time if you make too much money in your sim funded accounts they'll send you to
18:48
Speaker A
the live account because they're allowed to give you a $10,000 live account and then have the rest be unlocked in the form of a bonus. So, if you make 50K in an express funded account or 10K on five, you only get a 10K live account
19:00
Speaker A
and you have to unlock the rest in a bonus by trading. So, the live account is not the best. It used to be no used to give you all of your profit. But for now, it's it's just going to be S tier
19:10
Speaker A
always since just because of what they've done for me. They've essentially changed my life. It was obviously the first prop firm that I ever encountered like four years ago or something. So, if I didn't know about them, then I
19:19
Speaker A
wouldn't be where I am today. So, I couldn't put them in any other tier. My funed futures will do a tier. They have the 50k flex which is the exact same rules. It's the lucid 50k flex and just
19:31
Speaker A
the standard tops at 50k. The only reason it's a bit lower than those two is just the cost. It's almost like I don't know 60% more. It's like 110 maybe even more now. I don't trade with them but it's just a little bit
19:44
Speaker A
more expensive than top step trade if I am lucid. So there's honestly no reason to buy from them specifically. They also have I believe it's an 80% split whereas Lucid and Topep have 90. So it's literally just Lucid and Topep but more
19:56
Speaker A
expensive and a worse profit split. So just just buy with these two first and then add on my futures. Uh this is we're almost done here. Um we'll do the trading pit TTP. That's going to be Btier. They have a really good payout
20:12
Speaker A
policy. like if you make $5,000 on your funded account and get some winning days, you can withdraw anything over $2,000 balance buffer balance. So, it's really great. I believe it's 80% split, but don't quote me on that. Um, the only
20:26
Speaker A
problem is their their checkout processor literally has so many problems. Like, I want to buy accounts with them. So, if you're watching this video, please fix your payment processor. I want to buy your accounts.

And literally, so many people that I talk to have the same issue with their payment processor. Like, your purchases will not go through. they'll become pending on your bank for a long time. So just I don't know not worth the hassle
20:45
Speaker A
until you're scaling. So have not used Pertia top one futures big big scam. I made like 46 grand on my funded accounts.
20:56
Speaker A
They gave me a $15,000 pre-live account where if I lost $9,000 I would lose the pre-live account. I'd lose the live account and I would lose access to every single one of that $46,000 that I made on the funded accounts. Uh the payout
21:11
Speaker A
rules are just not good in general on this site. It is too expensive compared to the draw down and the payout rules that they give you. There's literally no reason to be using it. And if you go live, then they will delete pretty much
21:20
Speaker A
your entire account balance. Thankfully, I did make $10,000 on that pre-live account before losing 9,000. So, they gave me a live account with 15K of capital, which is fine, I guess. I did make 46K, but having that reduced to 15K
21:33
Speaker A
with no bonus, just honestly not worth it when literally every other firm has a better policy for going live. Uh if you're still a newer trader, I guess you could use them, but just the live account is very brutal. And if you lose
21:45
Speaker A
9K on the live account, then you lose everything and you're done. Uh that's what happened to me, unfortunately. I made $10,000 first. And they said once you make your first 10K, we'll give you 2K bonus. So made 10K on Tuesday. I
21:57
Speaker A
emailed them saying, "Hey, I made 10K. Did I get that bonus? No response for 5 days. So, I just went back to trading.
22:02
Speaker A
Unfortunately, I went down like $3,000 from that plus 10K mark. And then they responded saying, "Hey, you went below your 10k profit. We're not able to give you that bonus." So, honestly, they're not they're just in it for the money.
22:16
Speaker A
They're not in it to create a good relationship with the trader like many of these firms are. They actually care about your trading. So, they just do not uh bad experience overall. Just would not recommend. So, I feel pretty
22:28
Speaker A
confident in this tier list. I hope you enjoyed the the list. And the way I would recommend you to use it is if you're a newer trader, just start on these three. There's no reason to use anything else other than these three. I
22:40
Speaker A
know lots of influencer promoting Alpha. Just there's no reason to use it. You could get the exact same account with better rules, better profit splits, and cheaper and faster payouts on Lucid. You can get the exact same rules for
22:53
Speaker A
I guess cheaper as well on top. like top step I'd recommend going with the 50k with the activation fee. It's $49 in and then you pay another 149 when you pass.
23:02
Speaker A
So you're only paying more if you're doing good, which is obviously good. You're not spending a lot on eval if you're not a good trader. So you're only paying to activate your funded, which is really nice. Um I don't think any of
23:11
Speaker A
these other ones have too many activation fees, but the way to use it, just start with these three. If you're getting max allocated on these three, then add some of these. if you're getting not rest not banned but
23:24
Speaker A
restricted like they're saying time to trade on a live account like I assume if you're doing well then these will send you to live accounts obviously you can't buy more evals and you can't copy trade five at a time which is how you make
23:33
Speaker A
real money then you have to go down and add these and then go down and add these I would recommend doing too many at once you can sort of specialize in one but again it's really important to read
23:42
Speaker A
through the rules before you purchase they all try to hide little little tiny rules in the help center rules about how they move you to the live account when they move you to the live account So obviously just be very aware with the
23:54
Speaker A
every single rule before you buy because hopefully it's a one-time decision like I'm going to choose to buy on Apex for the next one month and make this amount of money on Apex. So make sure you know the rules because the rules are the way
24:04
Speaker A
prop firms make money. So if you understand the rules, you can build a strategy and tailor your trading strategy specifically to make the most amount of money where the rules aren't restricting you. So hope you enjoyed the tier list video. This is all obviously
24:17
Speaker A
personal experience. Hopefully I didn't say any any rules wrong. Obviously, correct me in the comments if I said any rules wrong, named any firms wrong, things like that, just so other people know. But, yep, just on personal experience. So, thank you for watching
24:30
Speaker A
and I'll see you in the next one.
