I bought their $50k 1-Step BOGO challenge account which I passed successfully on 22 Dec. 2025 without breaching daily or overall drawdowns. It took me 57 days to pass the challenge. My account number is 6197. Their system (dashboard) automatically indicated the challenge as "passed" and also my certificate as senior trader automatically generated for download. The system also allowed access for KYC processing which was successful. Had it been possible I would have attached proofs of all these here. All this would not go through had I failed the challenge. It was therefore a rude shock to see that the account was later marked "breached" by Richard. I was shocked because:1) I achieved the 12% (not 10%) profit target on 22.12.2025 and this was confirmed on my dashboard, as I said above 2) My certificate as a Senior Trader was also issued and it's STILL SHOWING on the certification page that I passed the challenge.Richard sent me an email later on, saying something about Grid Trading. Concerning this I followed their rule on that. Their FAQs page, clarified the question: "How much price mediations can I do without this being considered a grid?" Their answer is that "Prop Number One allows a maximum of 3 price mediations without this being considered a grid." I followed this by never opening more than 3 consecutive trades on a single asset in the same direction. I only took partial profits, which is part of my trade management policy and is never a prohibited practice by any prop firm in the whole industry. Or, do they count taking of partial profits as opening a new trade? The universally known grid trading involves opening of numerous trades in the region of 10, 20, 50, even 100 consecutive trades on the same instrument in the same direction, most times with the aid of automation. But I never exceeded 3, and I place all my trades manually. This disastrous Richard is saying that taking partial profits means opening new trades! This is wrong! I'm not a gambling trader. Rather, I follow a rules-based approach to trading. My strategy is called CTL (Counter-Trendline Break & Close), and I always wait for my setup to form fully and clearly before I look for opportunity Prop Number One has closed my account now that I have qualified for a second account, going by their BOGO offer. And Richard is telling me there's nothing they can do about it! Is it not clear from this that this company lives on poor traders' challenge fees? Yet they claim that they make money only when a trader makes money. That is proved a big lie!I want them to know that I passed the challenge successfully and therefore am due for refund of the challenge fee I paid ($313.92) without delay. I'm also due for the BOGO account. I cannot lose a whole 3 benefits at the same time. Otherwise I will lay a curse on Prop Number One that it will not survive 2026, and it will take place.I have already celebrated my success with my family and friends, and also brandished my certificate to my colleagues. What do I tell them now? My wife has been asking me about the live account. I told her to wait till January 5, 2026. What do I tell her? Let Prop Number One tell me. Let them also tell me when I'll get my fee refunded. Let them save me from heart attack.
