Funding Traders

Funding Trader is a fairly reputable company. I opened a 5K account, violated the rules, and was really worried. They allowed me to reopen the account with a significant discount.

Title: 6 months. $1300+ paid. Then banned, called the wrong name, and kept my last $631. Here's everything. FundingTraders was my first ever prop firm. I wasn't here for a quick withdrawal. I wanted a career. I failed accounts, lost money, learned from it, came back, passed evaluations, and slowly became profitable. Every time they found an issue with my payouts I adapted without argument. I changed my strategy, adjusted my holding times, modified my risk management. Six times I changed something based on their feedback. Six times I said okay and kept going. Then they banned me and kept my money anyway. Here's what happened payout by payout: Payout 1 - Processed. No issues. Payout 2 - Blocked. Apparently swing accounts need 12 hour hold times. This rule existed nowhere in their FAQ. I adapted. They paid me. Payout 3 & 4 - Accused of hedging across two accounts with identical entries, exits, lot sizes and profit. Same trade. Same everything. They called it a violation, couldn't prove it, then quietly paid me anyway. Payout 5 - News trading deduction. Fair. I accepted it. Payout 6 - Flagged for not holding trades long enough. Gold hit my take profit in under 2 minutes. That's not a violation. That's the market. I adjusted anyway. Payouts #4774 & #4787 - Banned. Accounts closed. $631 withheld. Platform access gone overnight with zero warning while my funded accounts were active and in profit. The reason? Coordinated group trading. I am a sole trader. I have no group. No signals. No trade copier. I don't have a single trading friend. I started this journey completely alone and traded alone every single day. Their evidence? Trades with no account number. Literally listed as "Acc: None." No verified owner. No account attached. They took anonymous unidentified trades and used them to permanently ban me and freeze my payouts. That's not proof. That's nothing. 500 IPs? I live in Pakistan. Pakistani telecom providers use Carrier-Grade NAT. Your IP changes every single time you reconnect. One person. One phone. Hundreds of IPs. Their system had zero understanding of this and called it a coordinated network. They called me Gabriel. My name is Yahya. It has been Yahya in every single email. After months of detailed professional responses their risk manager addressed me as Gabriel in his reply. That one moment told me everything. Nobody was reading my case. It was copy paste templates from beginning to end. They said my replies were AI generated. When I pushed back with technical arguments they couldn't answer they told me I was using AI to communicate and used that to stop engaging. They had no response to my arguments. So they attacked how I wrote them. KYC concerns - mentioned for the first time in the very last email. Four team members. Months of correspondence. Not once was KYC raised until the absolute final response when every other argument had already been challenged. If it was a real concern I deserved to know from day one. Not when everything else had failed. They gave me a Google Meet call. After I posted publicly on X they reached out, arranged a call, and I came prepared with everything. I asked for one thing only. My payouts. The answer? "Our findings from an independent source from your country show contrary to your claims. We wish you success." No source named. No evidence shown. Just goodbye. The part that says it all. They already paid me over $1,300 based on this exact same trading. Same strategy. Same instrument. Same accounts. They approved it. Then the moment I had multiple funded accounts profitable and ready for withdrawal they banned me, froze everything, and kept my $631. I adjusted my strategy six times. I passed their evaluations. I stayed patient through months of emotional stress, rejected payouts and invented rules. It meant nothing. The tight stop loss rule? Not in their FAQ. The 12 hour hold rule? Not in their FAQ. The 2 minute trade duration rule? Not in their FAQ. Rules appear here when you become profitable enough that paying you actually costs them something. I came here with genuine ambition and gave this place everything I had. They gave me a goodbye email and kept my money. Don't make the same mistake I did. Document everything from day one. Every trade. Every email. Every payout request. You will need it. 1 star. And that's being generous.

Got my first payout today on my next gen 2 step eval acc @80/20 profit split, payout time (little over 48hrs) they have very active customers service

Hello I applied for a withdrawal before January and after a successful interview my request has not been processed for almost 2 months and repeated correspondence with support was useless I have 1 year of experience working with this company and this was my first withdrawal after failing several challenges

I’ve been trading with them for about 4 5 months and have received 3 payouts so far with this latest one being my biggest. The process has been smooth and professional and payments are reliable. I will also be posting my payout certificate for transparency. In my experience, this is a wellstructured firm with clear rules and dependable payouts. Very satisfied overall.

Been a really great experience with them, especially their plans that encourage traders with a very minimal downpayment to take a challenge is great! However what would make them the top 3 prop firm in the industry is if they give traders a bit more ease around news trading on the funded stage. I've received 2 payouts until now and looking forward to a lot more. Customer Care is top notch as well! Great job guys, Keep doing what you guys are doing!

They communicate well until you request a payout. I have kindly reached out several times about my payout and at which is the only time they reach out. I requested a $11,997 payout on 1/7/26. Had the interview and days later they sent me an email saying I have unrealistic trading ideas according to them. The whole interview and payout process is a waste of time ; they make you feel as if they care but it’s all a front to prolong your payout. It’s been 20 days since my requested payout and still nothing. Sure they approved half my payout but what good is it if I don’t receive anything. And they blame it on their third party processor. They tell everyone the same excuse & if that is really the case what fault does one have as a trader ; they as a “professional” company that they claim to be should take full responsibility and pay their traders in a timely manner. Conclusion : stay away from funding traders.com. And I have all the proof I’ve got nothing to hide.

My experience with Funding Traders has been positive overall. The payout process was clear and professional. My account required additional review, which caused a slight delay, but communication remained transparent throughout. They take account analysis seriously, which adds credibility to the firm. A small improvement would be making review feedback more accessible for future payouts to help traders avoid repeating the same issues. Solid experience and a trustworthy firm so far.

I had a good experience with the support; they took a little while to issue the payout, but this was due to checks on my risk management, so it was partly 'my fault'. Overall, they are very professional and care about the customer; above all, they are very oriented towards the professional upgrade of the trader, which I find very stimulating. They were very helpful and went out of their way for me; I recommend anyone to collaborate with them

Let’s see what excuse this firm comes up with this time for my review. I have been with this firm for over 8 months now until recently when they decided to terminate and ban me from their platform. In the past 2 months, I have generated over $9,500 on 2 separate funded accounts while following all rules stated under Terms of Service. Their reasoning for the first termination was due to a “1% risk” limitation placed on my account. However, this limitation was not framed as a mandatory rule that I must follow or else would result in the termination of my account. These guidelines surrounding the Risk Management Group have only been in place since the 17th of November when this firm decided to “reset” and actually outline these new set of rules. This is 2 months after I initially bought and traded on those accounts. So to my knowledge and previous understanding, I was allowed to lose no more than 2% per trade/day without flagging the Risk Department which I proceeded to follow. The second reasoning for this termination was due to Grid Trading which means taking 3 or more trades at a time which could place the firm’s capital at a risk for loss. However, I made sure to only take 2 trade at any given time to ensure that this rule would not be breached. As an experienced trader, there is no need to take more than 2 trades at a time as I can simply adjust my lot size to reach my desired risk/reward. I have screenshot proof of everything but I am unable to release it now due to the contractual agreement I have signed with this firm. In the past, the Accounting team has been able to fund the excess fees that were deducted for my previous payouts without any issue. Considering all of my trades are copied on a larger account(the CEO has stated this as well as several advertisements by this firm) there is no reason they are unable to send me the profits I made while following all rules stated under contract. Until this firm is able to come up with a reasonable resolution for these funds, I will continue to exploit them to the public. No trader deserves to receive the torment that I have been given for simply being profitable. Once I am paid, I will inform the community that they they have owned up to their mistake and done the right thing.
