News trading violation was never explained beyond a one-line notice; I was in the position 20 minutes before the release. Hidden rule killed my funded account when they decided copy trading between my own two funded accounts was unauthorized.
After I passed phase two with an EA, they demanded a manual verification trade of a very specific setup, which is not in any rule I signed.
Challenge is priced like a scam at $249 for a 50k account when competitors offer the same product for under $150. Weekend hold rule was enforced retroactively on a Friday EURUSD position that I had held open since Tuesday without warning.
A fine 50k challenge for the price, but the add-on 25k purchase doubles the effective profit target in ways not shown up front. Payout structure is 80 percent which is competitive, but you only move to 90 after your fifth payout, not your third as advertised in older posts.

KYC took five days instead of the advertised 24 hours because they wanted a utility bill I did not have in my own name.
Trailing drawdown killed my funded account at 2am when an Asian spike hit floating equity for 90 seconds and the dashboard never showed it. Rules are buried in footnotes and a separate operations manual you can only find linked inside the funded account dashboard.
Fills were missing on my evaluation account for an entire session and the firm said the dropped orders were my local connectivity. A completely routine daily loss touch on a Wednesday was flagged as a hard breach because of a dashboard sync delay to the risk team.
Phase one is practically unreachable with their spreads on majors, which are 1.3 pips at the London open versus the 0.6 their marketing shows. Spreads differ noticeably from the simulator version used during the evaluation; my scalping edge did not survive onto the funded.
Rules forbid news trading but the news calendar they publish misses roughly one in five scheduled central bank speeches. Slippage ate my profit target on NQ during a CPI release when their simulator showed a fill at 15 and the actual fill was at 23.
Minimum trading days moved up from three to five after I had already structured my strategy around the posted number. Risk team was openly hostile over a gold trade on the day of a central bank meeting, even though gold news was not on their calendar.
Weekend hold rule was enforced retroactively on a Friday EURUSD position that I had held open since Tuesday without warning. KYC was stuck for three weeks because my passport photo had a glare, and support kept sending the same automated reply. A pending order on gold was treated as a filled position for drawdown purposes, which is nowhere in the written risk policy.
A pending order on gold was treated as a filled position for drawdown purposes, which is nowhere in the written risk policy. Hedge rule triggered a soft breach when I was not even hedging; I had two uncorrelated positions on different symbols. Dashboard showed me at 2 percent daily loss when the risk team said I was at 4.9 percent, and they went with their number.
Nothing on the funded account matches the sales page, from the stated commissions to the actual time it takes to reach a human. Risk desk ignored my three appeals on a weekend hold that was explicitly allowed in the version of the rules I signed up under.
Spreads doubled at every scheduled release, turning what should have been a 2 pip trade into a 5 pip trade with no recourse. A random weekend overnight gap on EURJPY tripped a soft breach even though my stop was placed inside the allowed range.
Payout denominated in USDC meant I did not lose four days to a wire bouncing through a correspondent bank.
Suspended for a copy trading disclosure after I truthfully answered a question about whether I run a signal service on the side.
Verification call was 12 minutes with a human who actually understood what a prop account is.
Reasonable firm for day trading NQ but the overnight margin on ES futures is punitive compared to my broker.

Account was closed one week after I passed phase two, with an email saying I had violated an undisclosed internal risk metric.
Soft breach notice arrived in my inbox after a drawdown touch that my own broker and TradingView never registered on their feeds. Account was disabled during an active payout request and the only notice I got was a cryptic email about risk review.
Account was breached by a stale quote on a weekend gap that the risk team acknowledged was abnormal but refused to reverse. Platform froze at FOMC for seven minutes and my stop never triggered, which pushed me past the daily loss limit by a hair. Spreads differ noticeably from the simulator version used during the evaluation; my scalping edge did not survive onto the funded.
Rules changed mid-challenge when they introduced a new consistency rule and backdated it two weeks, invalidating my phase two profit. Payout invoice went unanswered for 11 days after I provided the matching business details requested during KYC. Payout was cut by 25 percent without explanation beyond a vague reference to a consistency metric that is not disclosed to traders.
Hedge rule triggered a soft breach when I was not even hedging; I had two uncorrelated positions on different symbols. Dashboard showed wrong equity for an entire week after a platform update, and the risk team said the dashboard was advisory.

Challenge reset was still charged to my card after I had been told via chat that it would be waived for a verified payment issue. Challenge was priced attractively at a holiday sale but the reset fee is permanent at $179, so a single bad day cost more than the entry.
EA was flagged as a prohibited strategy with no warning, despite me having submitted the backtest during the funded onboarding.
After requesting a payout of just over $5000 they sent an additional KYC request for a notarized document that cost me $85 to obtain. Rules forbid news trading but the news calendar they publish misses roughly one in five scheduled central bank speeches.
Account was disabled during an active payout request and the only notice I got was a cryptic email about risk review.
Scaling plan triggered automatically after my third payout request, so I did not have to open a ticket.
Decent for day traders only, since the swing version has a lower drawdown and a higher profit target that cancel each other out. Challenge was reasonable at the 50k tier but the reset fee of $89 after a near miss felt steep for a one-percent overshoot.
Live feed is off from TradingView by one tick at random, which is enough to trigger a stop that should not have been hit.
Reset refund never arrived after I canceled within the 7-day window; three support tickets later it is still unresolved.

Account was closed one week after I passed phase two, with an email saying I had violated an undisclosed internal risk metric.
Add-on balance of 25k was credited the day after I requested it with the scaling fee I expected. Pro trader discount of 20 percent on the 200k evaluation was honored after I sent two prior payout statements.
Payout was cut by 25 percent without explanation beyond a vague reference to a consistency metric that is not disclosed to traders. Soft breach notice arrived in my inbox after a drawdown touch that my own broker and TradingView never registered on their feeds.
Fine firm, nothing special, and after three months I probably could not tell you one thing it does better than competitors.

Challenge was reasonable at the 50k tier but the reset fee of $89 after a near miss felt steep for a one-percent overshoot.
A random weekend overnight gap on EURJPY tripped a soft breach even though my stop was placed inside the allowed range. An entire payout cycle was skipped because they moved the cutoff date by 48 hours and my request landed on the wrong side of it.
