Untrustworthy platform

This platform is untrustworthy. When I finally reached the payout threshold, they suspended my account, claiming there was a problem with their payment processor and they hadn't received the full payment. Then they requested additional funds. After I complied, they stated again that they hadn't received payments for other accounts. I had to pay for a third time, despite providing all necessary payment confirmations.

Permanent account closure due to unfounded allegations

My funded account was permanently closed due to allegations of 'copy trading.' What’s particularly troubling is that this decision was not based solely on the performance of my funded account, which had met all requirements, but rather on historical activity from an evaluation account purchased six months prior. This older account was used as a basis for the final decision, despite my current account's compliance.
The company repeatedly claimed their conclusions were derived from internal risk systems and proprietary methodologies, yet they never provided any execution-level evidence. Requests for verifiable data like IP logs or trade comparisons were declined, and no external review was permitted. The decision was simply labeled as 'final.'
Additionally, the refund process was incredibly frustrating. Although my evaluation fee refund was approved as a goodwill gesture, it took weeks to process. I had to follow up several times and received shifting timelines, with generic responses indicating the refund was 'queued' or in 'final processing,' lacking clear accountability.
Overall, the experience was marked by a lack of transparency, consistency, and proper dispute resolution. I am sharing this review to inform other traders about how compliance decisions and refunds might be managed. Update:
After approximately twenty-five days, I finally received my fee refund. However, the company attempted to justify their stance by making baseless allegations against me.
This approach is entirely inappropriate. Making repeated accusations without concrete evidence does not prove those claims. Instead, it highlights the company’s inability to support their narrative with facts.
This situation resembles public accusations lacking proof—such claims hold no credibility without verifiable evidence. So far, the company has not presented any documentation to back their allegations. Mere statements do not equate to proof.
I firmly reject these unfounded claims and consider this matter unresolved until the company provides clear, objective, and documented evidence. Professional conduct requires transparency and accountability, not a barrage of unsupported accusations.

Payout Request Denied Despite Profit

I had an account balance of 2500 and earned a profit of 466$. When I requested a payout, it was denied under questionable circumstances. I didn't trade during any significant news events, yet my payout was rejected with an excuse that didn't align with the actual news timings. I worked hard to achieve my profit while adhering to the consistency rule of 15%, but they still found a reason to deny my request. I strongly advise against purchasing any funded accounts from this service, as they do not fulfill payout requests and ultimately waste your time.

Strongly discourage using this service.

I strongly discourage using this service. They are very strict, and at times, it's impossible to manage your losses. They claim that you can only lose a maximum of $500 on a $50,000 account. If you exceed that limit, even slightly, they shut down your account, which feels unfair since the total limit is $3,000, but only $500 is allowed daily. I truly believe this is the worst service available. I will never engage with them again. There are instances where you can't manage it due to large fluctuations, and truly, there's nothing you can do. What a disappointing experience.

Payout Denied with No Follow-Up

My payout was denied, and when I reached out for clarification, I received only an automated response confirming my ticket ID. They then closed the ticket without any further communication, and it has been over a month without payment.

Review of a Prop Trading Firm – Marketing vs. Reality

Review of a Prop Trading Firm – Marketing vs. Reality This prop trading firm presents itself as an affordable and flexible option for traders seeking funding and profit opportunities in financial markets. However, upon examining real trader feedback and independent reviews, a contrasting reality emerges. Many claims made on their website and social media do not align with the experiences of actual traders. 1. Mixed Reputation and Lack of Transparency Despite advertising a straightforward evaluation and funding process, the firm's reputation is quite mixed. On review platforms, the overall rating hovers around 3.0/5 stars, reflecting both satisfied and dissatisfied traders. Numerous reviews highlight issues such as payout delays, account access problems, and unexpected rule enforcement that diverge from the advertised experience. 2. Changes in Evaluation and Rules A frequent complaint is the retroactive enforcement of rules and changes to trading conditions, often without adequate explanation. Traders have reported being denied payouts or stopped out for reasons not clearly outlined in the published rules, contradicting the firm's claims of transparency. 3. Payout and Account Access Issues Many traders have encountered difficulties accessing their funded accounts, experienced accounts disappearing from their dashboards, or faced challenges withdrawing profits after qualifying for them. Some have waited for responses that never arrive, despite multiple attempts to reach out for support. These access and payout delays directly contradict the promises of reliable and fair payouts. 4. Unhelpful Support While the website suggests a helpful support system, many traders have found customer service to be hard to reach or unresponsive when issues arise, particularly concerning payouts or technical problems. This leads to a frustrating situation for traders trying to resolve real issues and receive their earnings. 5. Community Concerns About System Issues On community forums, traders express concerns about risks in simulated trading, payout delays, shifting rules, and even allegations of manipulated trading environments when approaching profit targets. Some discussions highlight platform instability and frequent denial of payouts under vague circumstances. 6. Insufficient Support Tools and Resources In contrast to more established firms that provide educational resources, market insights, or structured support, this firm offers limited additional resources for skill development, which many serious traders expect before investing their time and money. Final Verdict – Not as Advertised This prop trading firm presents itself as a transparent and trader-friendly option with fair access to funded accounts. However: Traders often report unstable account access and payout delays. Rules and enforcement can seem arbitrary or unclear. Customer support frequently fails to address significant issues. The overall online reputation is mixed at best, with many cautioning others to be wary. If you're considering joining a prop firm, it's essential to compare several options, review all rules thoroughly, and prioritize those with strong, consistent payouts and transparent enforcement.

Initial experience was good, but issues arose after the first payout.

I purchased a 10k account and everything seemed fine until the first payout. There was a glitch that caused the value of BTC to plummet from 117k to 97k in an instant while I had an open position, resulting in a loss of -4000. After contacting the support team, they restored the amount to my balance. However, I later noticed that my consistency score wasn't changing. I reached out to the support team again, who provided information on my trades, showing the -4000 loss but no corresponding +4000 for the refund due to the bug. They informed me that manually added amounts don't count towards the consistency score. Now, I'm at a 1k profit but still showing -20% on consistency. I had a positive experience with this firm initially, but the ongoing bugs, which they attempt to fix but can't fully resolve, leave me feeling like they might be scamming quietly. It's disappointing behavior for a firm to exhibit.

Payout Delayed for Over 30 Days

Don't expect to receive payouts over $500. I requested a payout of more than 5k over a month ago. I inquire daily and have to repeat my payout ID while hearing the same excuses (your case is escalated, it will be processed once a minor bug is fixed, etc.). Over 30 days have passed, and my funds remain inaccessible. I hope my experience helps others avoid wasting money with this service.

Three Months and Still Waiting for Payments

Don't dismiss the one-star reviews about payouts; they are genuine. I have been waiting for over three months to receive my payments. Daily, I'm told it's an account issue or that my case is prioritized in the queue. I'm expecting multiple payouts exceeding 3k with a 200k account. When I suggested opening a new account, they refused since they rely on trading data. I'm stuck trading on a malfunctioning account that doesn't facilitate payouts.
