Worst company honestly. Stay away. Terrible customer service. Ignore majority of your problems. Take your money and make you wait over 48 hours to receive your account. Many other better funded accounts. If you know what’s good for you, you will take my advice

"An offer to become a Funded Trader is not guaranteed. Paying an Access Fee and participating in an Assessment Program (successfully or otherwise) does not oblige the Company to make you an offer to become a Funded Trader."
Haha, so you pay your money, pass the challenge, and they can still refuse to give you a funded account. Thanks guys, but no thanks.

SCAM ALERT - STAY AWAY
Total scam! Absurd rules that makes it almost impossible to reach to payout. I have now been waiting for almost 2 months to even get my payout reviewed (profit around 4k on 100k account) no answers. They migrated all the accounts to new platform (mt4 not available) and reset my account to their absurd "first two months rules" (100k). Not only they don’t pay me (around 4k profit) for two months and reset my account / rules but I am also unable to trade the account for as long. And they even don't answer my emails. STAY AWAY

Total scam
Total scam! Absurd rules that makes it almost impossible to reach to payout. And even if you do, the chances to get your payment are not more than 5%. I have now been waiting for almost 2 months to even get my payout reviewed expecting them to reject it anyways. They migrated all the accounts to new platform and reset my account to their absurd "first two months rules" where you have consistency rules and profit cap even though my account is more than 8 months old. Not only they dont pay me for two months and reset my rules but I am also unable to trade the account for as long. And they even dont answer my emails. But at the same time they are surely fully active on socials offering discounts hoping to lure new clients... Wish you recent bankrupt NSF so you cannot scam more people and rob them!

Be aware this company is a total scam.
Funny enough on their website about the rule on news trading they say Opening or closing trades is prohibited 10 minutes before and after red folder news events.
but on discord the admins say you're not allowed to open any trades, or have any open trades 10 minutes before the release of an high-impact news,so you're expected to close any running trades that you have 10 minutes before the release of an high-impact news.
This company is scamming you very professionally.

Our accounts provide nearly instant funding, so you can start trading right away. We make sure the rules for news events are clearly outlined both on our website and in our Discord community to keep everything transparent and straightforward.
As long as the rules are followed, payments go through smoothly—just like they have for many of our users who’ve already received their withdrawals without any issues.
We really appreciate your feedback and always aim to keep things as clear and honest as possible.

Next step replied by saying they are not a scam company I still have a copy of the email they sent to me saying a third party accessed my account via email which is totally not possible if their was a place to b
Place such here I would have put it for the whole world to see I made a total of $3456 immediately it was due date to place withdrawal they started migration few days later they sent me a mail saying account breached something they never said during my days of trading. I repeat if trust pilot need evidence I have it and I still have a screenshot of the mail and the profit made.

Every 5 star review is a paid and fake review if they are paying everyone why arent people claiming they have been paid out? Why not in social media? They banned eveey profitable trader with accusing of "copy trading" of "news trading" no proof no ticket ids no proof of which trade copied from which account my payout was on 8th September and my acc got terminated.
Not just me 8 friends on discord got banned with these accusations as well.
Next scam funded is now posting fake reviews here which can easily be seen are typical copy paste reviews no authentic trading related langauge.

I hope everyone will be fine, this is reply to next scam funded firm response on my last review, My account number 2145728849. i accept i received 480$ withdrawal as my 1st payout after 3 withdrawal rejection because of consistency rules, but after receiving my 1st withdrawal you guys rejected my next month withdrawal for lame excuse of copytrading and now you are lying that you have send me the proof of copy trading? i just received trade id of my each and every profitable trades that these are the copy trade, Where is the other account with same SL, entry and TP?
And than for my 3rd withdrawal you guys was looking for a reason to terminate my account because i was profitable, the next scam funded terminate my account for weekend holding and the fun part is that it was my withdrawal rejection on weekend. When i talk to support about it that it is not a trade but a withdrawal rejection please reactivate my account they come up with new excuse that i have did copy trading, and through email i received trade id of my each and every profitable trade with out any proof of account with same SL entry and Tp, and finally they terminate my account.
Stop scamming traders.
I m just wondering that they are unable to pay me 510$ and 532$ Withdrawal and they are running a firm hahahahahahaha.
I know dozens of guys who's accounts and withdrawals are rejected because of this lame excuse.
I request everyone to please stay away from this scam firm.

Absolute scam company that look for any excuse not to pay out profitable traders. Also very poor customer service. Please do not sign up with this prop firm.
4th Oct: They have now deleted their General Chat function on their Discord channel, therefore less chance of communicating with them, as they don't reply to email support tickets. Also check out some of the identical 5 star reviews recently posted. DO NOT invest with this company. There are better options available. Cheers.
