These guys are frauds
These guys are frauds. They closed my account few days to withdrawal day on allegations that I traded news which was not correct. Last month they also denied me to withdraw my profit..Where do they take the profits that they're denying people? Frauds!!

Absolute Scam
Absolute Scam, support is non existent and their rules are ridiculous. Out of nowhere, they suspended trading on MT4 and expect all trading to be done by Wednesday by 4! Don't buy an challenges from this scam company.

Terrible company
Terrible company! They continually change the rules at will and without warning, they make up excuse after excuse for not paying the payouts!! Usual Prop scam, where the money comes to the lucky few only from lost challenges and dishonesty in the payments made! Stay away and save your money!! The only truly serious Prop remains FTMO! You are just thieves!!!! Goodbye forever!! You can spend the money on medicines. Rob

Payout Denied without proofs
I successfully passed all three phases of my 100k Next Step Flash assessment and then traded in real for about 2-3 weeks. I carried out all trades manually following a clear strategy for those who are experienced in trading. After this I requested the payout and after a few hours an email was sent to me in which I was accused of Copy - trading without any evidence to support their thesis. I sent an email asking for an explanation and was ignored. I'm continuing to trade manually for the second payout, after I was blocked from using EA (unnecessarily since I trade manually). If the second payout is denied to me again in an unjustified manner, I will take all the necessary initiatives to take legal action against a company in which I have placed trust, but which for now is proving to be unprofessional

Become professional scammers after Eightcap
Okay when you learn 35% rule
50% rule
And have no issues
They will put u on news violation and ban your account.
Another prop ends since they were very scammy.
Avoid buying any challenge whatever promises they will make.
On a payout they sent a msg that you violated news.
Altough i dont trade news at all im a price action trader who avoids news.
So its obvious all profitable traders will now be kicked out and only new fee will ve gathered to run company for few weeks or months of they manage to survive with new software.
Keep learning their news and in the end you are doing violation from other end which has never happened.
SCAMMERS AT THEIR WORST!!!

If you're suggesting making a deposit, please don't, because you'll end up losing your money. I've been there, and I felt disappointed. I'll be more careful about this in the future. Paiva stepped in and turned my investment into a great success. I really respect them for that.
