Why we built Stampede
We run a brokerage. LHFX pays real withdrawals in minutes, keeps real liquidity relationships, and answers to the kind of scrutiny that comes with holding other people’s money. One thing it cannot do is serve American traders. For years we watched US traffic arrive, ask to sign up, and get turned away at the door.
Meanwhile prop firms exploded everywhere, and the business grew up wrong. Firms sold “funded accounts” in the marketing and defined “fictitious funds” in the contract. Some throttled winning traders. Some denied payouts on vibes. The My Forex Funds case put the whole pattern under a regulatory spotlight, and the firms that survived it are the ones that had nothing to mumble about.
Stampede is what happens when a brokerage team takes the lesson seriously and builds the product Americans can actually buy. A prop firm that says “simulated” in the headline. That pays out on broker rails, at broker speed. And that can offer the one thing no standalone prop firm can: a graduation path where the firm puts its own real capital behind traders who prove themselves, under a performance contract, described exactly as what it is.
The herd identity is not an accident either. Our lineage runs through a brand traders remember fondly, and the charge is the point: momentum, together, in one direction. Join it early and you will be able to say you were in the founding herd.

Five promises, in writing
The post-MFF playbook, inverted. Each of these exists because some firm, somewhere, did the opposite and traders paid for it.
01“Simulated” appears in headlines, not footnotes.
Every page that implies money says it. Other firms got in trouble for mumbling it; we got a brand out of saying it plainly.
02Execution is never degraded against winners.
No artificial slippage, no delay injection, in any environment, ever. A firm that wins when you lose has to prove it does not cheat. Here is the proof: we publish the rule and invite you to test it.
03Payout rules are mechanical and honored.
Published rules, no discretionary denial, no payout committee. Speed is the brand: same-day processing with minutes as the target.
04Fees are fees, never deposits.
You pay for an evaluation service the way you pay for any service. We never hold trading capital, so there is nothing to freeze, ever.
05The path to real capital is described exactly.
When the firm trades its own capital informed by your simulated performance, we say precisely that. Customers never trade real money through Stampede, and no page will ever imply otherwise.
Who is who
Stampede is a simulated prop trading service, operated by DG Analytics Ltd (Singapore), open to US traders. Challenges run on Match-Trader.
LHFXis a separate brand: a real-money brokerage that does not serve US persons. It does not offer Stampede’s products and Stampede does not offer brokerage. What the two share is a team, payment rails, and a standard for how fast people get paid.
