Two payouts in one week, taking us over $20k in profits with @FTMarketslive This is the way payouts should be processed, quick and stress free. Well done with what you’ve built 👏🏻 @RZFTMARKETS

@avikkfp @Daan04_ @fundingpips That being said I’m not saying that repeated overall toxic trading shouldn’t be addressed, but there’s more to it than just risk percentage. And on evals people should be free to trade as they please because they may trade funded very differently.

@avikkfp @Daan04_ @fundingpips @avikkfp I think recommendations should remain recommendations and a whole picture should be considered because altering someone’s account because they trade more than 1% following a recommendation isn’t actually a recommendation, it’s a restriction.

FIRST DENIED PAYOUT BY @fundingpips?! I did not want to be back on X yet. However, recent updates from FP left me no choice. I received multiple risk warnings (with recommendations how I should trade). Keep in mind that I risk between 1.5 and 1.8% on my accounts. Is that good risk management? I'll leave that up to you. However, Fundingpips has now reduced my leverage to 1:2. So that basically means that my accounts are untradable. On top of that, they changed my payout cycle from bi-weekly (which I chose) to payout on demand RETROACTIVELY! My best day on the account is +7,500$, which means that I would have to make at least another 15K to be able to request a payout. Good job doing that with 1:2 leverage! Otherwise I would have been able to request 8k today. Setting restrictions for next payout cycles is fine. But changing payout cycles retroactively and thus technically denying a payout that was already earned? That's not fair. I have always supported @fundingpips, but right now they leave me no other choice. I'm done with firms doing shady things like changing a payout cycle retroactively. I urge everyone who has had a negative experience with them to speak up and write a review on Trustpilot and Propfirmmatch. I've always played nice. However, I don't really have much to lose at the moment. So I just call things out how they are. The only CFD propfirm I truly trust right now? @the5erstrading. Hope this gets resolved, if not I've had a decent run with FP until now. @Khldfx @lailayanCMO @ErkanOriginal @avikkfp

@shakil2026 @RZFTMARKETS Slippage is actually brilliant compared to most out there

@RZFTMARKETS Slippage is just horrible. Plz focus on this

Just reviewed our numbers. $2.75M paid out in the 1.5 Years, Payouts processed within minutes after request. If you’re running a firm, this should be normal. Tell us one thing you love about FTM the most?

@raunitfx I’ve been here before, with the same firm as well. I will say the situation negatively affects psychology massively but if you’re losing $1000+ in a 55s trade, you probably need to take a step back and work on your position sizing. Good luck on the comeback brother 🙏🏻

First time: I made around $8,000 USD, but my payout was rejected because they said I didn’t follow the 1% risk per trade rule (hidden rule) Second time: I traded very carefully and made around $5,000 USD, strictly keeping my risk below 1%. (Near to 0.8%) However, due to entry slippage, my risk was shown as 1.1%. You can clearly see this in the screenshots. That single issue completely destroyed my psychology. After that, things started going downhill. Because of the mental pressure created by these situations, I ended up blowing that account. The impact didn’t stop there it affected my performance on @Alpha_Futures_ accounts, where I was aiming for two max payouts. Instead, I lost what could have been $6,000+ more in payouts. Overall, because of this entire situation, I lost $10,000–$15,000 USD, which is a huge amount for me. Anyone who trades prop firms knows how much hard work, discipline, and mental strength it takes to make that money. Also, the slippage they applied was around 20 pips on 2 lots, even when gold was not highly volatile at that time. I want to be very clear: I have passed more than $5 million in total funding, so I understand prop firm rules deeply. This is not about lack of knowledge it’s about how rules are applied and judged. I’m not forcing any opinion on anyone. I’m leaving this story with you, my community, and with @FTMO_com to judge and decide.

Doesn’t get much quicker than that! First payout with @FTMarketslive 👏🏻✅

@JamesBruce131 Make protecting your capital your number one rule and remove the timeframe. Progress will compound with consistency over time

Traders who have scaled up with prop firms, what has been your biggest tip or piece of advice for others?

@ambitiousmind06 @fundingpips @Khldfx @UmarPunjabi_v8m @propfirmeye @PropFirmMatch @PropFirmAdvisrs @PropFirm_Deals @Khaledfx23 @nighttraderr @cryptoparida There’s a 3% risk limit per trade on funding pips, you’re definitely risking more than 3% here and you’re clearly gambling with those two trades open and no stop loss

opened just 2 positions (2 lots each) on $100k acct, was up $50k, then @FundingPips TERMINATED when this was on a huge profit. They hype big payouts but only hand out tiny wins to hook you. Earning in this game is brutal, they scam you. Time to speak up! #fundingpips @Khldfx

@savedbyfx @TheTrustedProp @sftfirm How are you gonna get traders to prove they were on profit at the time of closure for compensation if no one can access their data?

Updates coming for SFT Traders. We have been silent for too long. It’s time to start the road to recovery for each of you. Stay tuned.

@savedbyfx @sftfirm Thanks, keen for more details

@savedbyfx @sftfirm Will it be based on payout amounts held at the time?

@savedbyfx @sftfirm @savedbyfx how do we go about getting paid out for accounts in profit at the shut down?

@AlphaCapitalUK @Limitless_Noman @QuantTekel @FTMO_com @seacrestfunded_ @GoatFunded @fundingpips @AlphaCapitalUK be honest, there is no temporary risk group, I had an account with yourselves that was breached on the first payout without any previous correspondence on risk, so where was the temporary risk group then?

Hi @Limitless_Noman this is not the case nor a rule, Much like the majority of firms in the industry including Ftmo & 5ers, we have a risk group that identifies high risk traders/strategies for temporary risk reduction. This is not applied to all, nor is it a rule, but for an example if an account takes excessive risk every time they enter a trade idea in the assessment, due to the excessive risk shown, they may be placed in a temporary risk group restricting the max risk to 1% to promote better risk management and a sustainable approach to the account.

Firms which have applied 1% Max risk rule if you take more than 2% Risk in Your Evaluation Phases ! @QuantTekel @FTMO_com @AlphaCapitalUK @seacrestfunded_ @GoatFunded @fundingpips but not for all countries. Reminder @QuantTekel is wrost . Cuz they drop laverage to 1:3.

@_claudiarea Same thing happened to me back end of last year! The process is slow but the skill never leaves, you’ll get back at it 🙏🏻

I lost all my prop funding Traded like a degen Have taken a break from live trading to backtest, build discipline and reset Then I’ll start again I’ve done it before I can do it again Just need to maintain it better this time and gain more control over my emotions Silver lining is I get another chance to video document my journey from 0 to 1 million in more detail Stay tuned

@flexxtrades Feel this 😂 had $50k in unpaid payouts just from firms going down in 2024

funny how my rejected payout amount is more than all these trading mentors on this app, its funny how toxic and easy it is to get done over on this app hence why i dont use it

First of many @E8Markets #e8markets #propfirms # payout #JoinE8

@QuantTekel @LiverAndLetDie @QuantTekel another day on and no response other than contact to say that I will be responded to. Can we please try come to a resolution on this issue?

@TradeOffAdam @LiverAndLetDie Yes, we’ve acknowledged your message and confirmed that we will get back to you today. As mentioned, it appears there may be an issue on your end preventing you from receiving emails from us. Once again, thank you for your patience—we will be in touch shortly.

@QuantTekel @AlexQuantTekel Hate to reach out via social media but I’ve had an open ticket since 28/11 with no response. An email from risk with an incorrect breach of account & when I reply to the email sent the mail is undeliverable - can anyone assist?

@QuantTekel @LiverAndLetDie With respect, there is no issue on my end, I can receive your mails - That’s how I got the email from risk on Thurs 28/11. When I reply to that mail, I get a kick back telling the mail is undeliverable as the email “risk@quanttekel.com” is out of service.

@LiverAndLetDie @QuantTekel I’ve reached out via support ticket, attempted to email their risk team, when neither of those worked I reached out to mods via discord.

@QuantTekel @TradeOffAdam Sounds like a real pain. Have you tried reaching out another way?

@QuantTekel Hi, you’re attaching the same screenshot that I put in my comment. This is a screenshot of the email that I get in response to me trying to send you an email. Irrespective, I still haven’t had a response to my support ticket which would show up on the website

@TradeOffAdam Hi Adam, as you can see we are having trouble emailing you. Our emails are being blocked by your provider.
