Question IG revenue drop and prop firm chaos How are you playing these order flow shifts?

[YieldNomad]

Ngl, this latest batch of retail broker and prop firm news has me scratching my head over how order flow is actually getting routed right now. Seeing IG's OTC retention slip down to 70% after their market-making tweaks while retail volume is heavily concentrated in just the top 1 percent of winning accounts makes me wonder how much toxicity B-book desks are eating lately. Add in the MFF brand resurrection under new management in Dubai and legacy firms like CMC jumping into simulated prop programs, and the whole retail landscape feels like it's shifting underneath us. Are you guys noticing any weird slippage or tighter spreads during major liquidity windows because of these broker risk-management changes, or are you sticking strictly to A-booked setups until things settle?

Honestly, the prop firm landscape is such a mess right now that I’ve just been sitting on my hands. I stopped chasing the noise months ago and moved back to just watching the 4H and Daily setups on the majors. When things get this chaotic, the "order flow" everyone keeps talking about usually just turns into stop-hunting liquidations anyway. I'd rather wait three weeks for a clean structural break than try to scalp through this volatility. Stick to the charts, ignore the noise.
