I’ve been trading for over 10 years and have experience with multiple prop firms. Here’s my full experience with FundedHero.
During my first payout, I earned approximately $14,000, which was reduced to less than $3,000 due to a “1-minute rule violation.” Despite this setback, I continued trading and accepted the limitations imposed by the firm.
In my second payout period (12/16/25 – 1/6/26), FundedHero introduced a “consistency rule” mid-cycle without notifying existing funded accounts. When I requested a payout of $7,886 on 1/20/26, I was told my consistency percentage needed to be lowered to 50% to qualify. I complied, reducing it to 45% by 1/27/26.
I then requested a payout of $18,907. This payout was delayed for over two weeks, even as I noticed that traders with smaller payout requests were being paid ahead of me. When I asked about the delay, I was told my request was in a “final review queue,” which I found inconsistent and concerning.
On 2/11/26, FundedHero sent an email denying my payout, claiming:
“Our evaluation shows that a significant portion of your profits was generated from a single trading day totaling $20,920.90, while the remaining trading days did not demonstrate consistent performance.”
This statement misrepresents my trading activity: most of the profit cited actually came from my first payout period, not my second. Furthermore, $17,680 of that profit was from a single position held over three days, not one day, making their claim misleading.
Immediately after sending this email, FundedHero deleted my trading account and terminated my support chat, while stating that a refund would be issued instead of paying my payout. This extreme action appears designed to avoid paying profits I legitimately earned.
I have full documentation of all trades, communications, and account activity to support every claim here. FundedHero is based in St. Petersburg, Florida, and I am filing complaints with Florida regulators and the Better Business Bureau to ensure this behavior is formally reviewed.
Bottom line: FundedHero will deny payouts based on subjective interpretations, impose new rules mid-cycle without notice, delay legitimate payouts for weeks, and take extreme measures to avoid paying profitable traders. If you value integrity and fair treatment, avoid this firm.
