<![CDATA[multiple prop firms running on the same broker backend - does it matter]]>noticed that several prop firms i'm looking at all seem to use the same broker as their execution partner. one uses tradelocker hosted by some xyz lp, another uses mt5 with what looks like the same server name. a third explicitly mentions the same liquidity provider in their terms.

if i pass multiple prop challenges and end up funded by firms that all route through the same backend, does that create any risk or restriction i should know about?
