Weekly payouts actually arrive within 48 hours. Been funded for 3 months and every payout has been on time. IF1 24-hour sprint model is great for quick passes.
Requested a payout and it arrived in 36 hours. The AI Coach feature is interesting but I haven't found it particularly useful. Gambling rules section is easy to miss read it carefully.
Love the on-demand payout system. Requested a payout at 10 AM and had it by next morning. The trailing drawdown uses highest balance which caught me off guard initially.
Been with them for 8 months. Hyper Growth program is excellent. Payouts arrive on time every 2 weeks. Support actually understands trading.
The 1% profit cap during news windows is unique and actually well-designed. But the Trustpilot score is terrifying. So far fine for me but I'm watching carefully.
The Smart Drawdown mechanic is genuinely different. Once you hit 5% profit the drawdown tightens from 10% to 5% permanently. Tricky if you're not aware but interesting rule design. Payout was fast.
Clear rules, fast payouts, good platform selection. The 40% margin rule is stricter than most and the 5-minute news rule is easy to overlook. Worth reading the entire ToS.
Their 2-minute minimum holding rule means you cant scalp at all. Missed it once in volatile conditions and got flagged. Otherwise the platform selection is excellent.
Passed the 1-step challenge in 2 weeks. Payout was processed eventually but support took a while to respond. The profit targets vary by model so read carefully.
Should have checked the Trustpilot before buying. 27% one-star reviews is a massive red flag. Passed the 2-step but nervous about payout.
Trading XAUUSD had significant slippage during news events. Lost $200 on a stop loss that filled way below my price. Their system uses trailing from peak balance which is punishing.
Bootcamp program is well-structured. The trailing drawdown is tight but fair. They're strict about rules but at least they're clearly communicated. Only complaint is no crypto on certain programs.
The 'gambling rule' classification is concerning. They can deny payouts if they decide your trading pattern is gambling. Never had it happen to me but the ambiguity is stressful.
2016 and still going strong. The scaling plan actually works if you're consistent. High Stakes program is for serious traders only.
Passed the 3-step challenge but the payout process is slow. Support takes days to respond. The platform variety is good but the reputation issues are real.
Was up 12% in my funded account and got banned. Support said it was a 'terms violation' but couldn't explain which one. Seeing similar stories online.
Was consistently profitable for 3 months. Requested payout and they called me for a 'compliance interview' about my lot sizes. Denied the payout. Multiple similar stories online.
Passed the 2-Step PRO6 after 5 weeks. Requested a $2600 payout and they denied it citing a retroactive rule change. Currently disputing. Read the ToS very carefully.
They blocked a trade of mine during a news event that wasn't even on ForexFactory's high-impact list. When I asked for clarification they said it's their 'internal classification.' Feels arbitrary.
Made $4,500 in my first month funded. They accused me of copy trading with zero evidence. Support was unresponsive for 3 weeks. Avoid this firm.
Was in Phase 2 when I had a family medical emergency. Didn't trade for 10 days and they deleted my account without warning. No grace period, no notification. Lost $600 fee.
