Ever heard of a prop firm terminating a trader’s account just for speaking up about their issues? New low set by @the5erstrading Payout request date on 02/05/2026 — but right before the payout date, my funded account was terminated with zero proper explanation. Do better.@the5erstrading Silence from affiliates and managers only makes it worse,they should shove their head in mud. Easily one of the most frustrating experiences with a prop firm. And this doesn’t end here,more scrutiny on the way @the5erstrading get ready.

At the age of 13 scaling a brand agency and being a trader. Truly inspirational lol


Today I'm launching something I should have built years ago. FT Prime. A-book execution. For traders who've already proven it. If you've traded prop long enough, you know the pattern. Pass the challenge. Get funded. Start pulling consistent numbers. Then the friction starts. Delays, reviews, rule interpretations that didn't exist when you signed up. Every firm in this space, major or minor, has a list a mile long of traders who got denied, stuck in review indefinitely, or banned outright the moment they became consistently profitable. Some with legitimate cause, many without. It's an industry-wide story, and enough traders have lived it that it barely needs explaining anymore. Most prop firms run a B-book. Plain English: your trades never touch real markets. They're simulated internally and act as signals the firm could copy to live accounts but most never do. They collect challenge fees and move on. The model works fine when traders lose. When traders win consistently, the economics get complicated. That tension is baked into the structure - it's not a bug. FT Prime runs a different model. We work with a regulated Liquidity Provider who takes your positions live which means real execution, real fills, real P&L. Not a demo. Not a mirror. Your orders flow to live markets exactly the way they would with any institutional broker. The LP executes them and returns your profit or loss directly. No internal book. No conflict of interest. And because your P&L flows through the LP, there are no payout denials. No risk management reviews standing between you and your money. What you made is yours. We take our share, you take yours, and there's no internal process that can change that. Every funded account has real capital behind it. That's why this costs more. We have skin in the game on every account we activate. That's the structure as it should be. We both put money on the line and split the profits, with the majority going to the trader whose skill made them possible. 95% of our revenue is profit-share. We only win when you win. Here's how it works: ▪ $500 evaluation on a $100K account - simulated at this stage only, to verify the skill is there ▪ 10% target, 3% daily drawdown, 10% max loss ▪ Pass and pay the $4K activation - this is the moment everything goes live Real capital, real execution, real markets. This isn't our profit. It's the cost of putting your trades in front of a regulated LP. ▪ 70% split default, scaling to 85% ▪ Weekly payouts This is for the trader pulling consistent five-figure months who's started noticing the friction. FT Prime is built for that stage - where your consistency is an asset, not a problem. ftprime.com



the problem is prop firms have worked off burn and churn traders, believing that they can reduce pass rate then reduce pricing. Trader does well? cap them or deny payout. This whole model is broken. The only way to have trader trust is to be open-source so everyone can review everything, to have payments be onchain so it’s easily verifiable, and A-book your traders. No need for 3rd parties who can be paid off to show payouts. @VantaTrading










I got funded with $400K at @FundedElite 30 days ago, and for 30 days I haven’t received any response — positive or negative. If you’re not going to provide the funded account, couldn’t you at least review 4 trades in 30 days? I just told support in chat, “I got funded 30 days ago,” and they replied, “No, it was 29 days ago.” ;) Low-quality scammers. 🤡




As I was getting near to 10 payouts in number to be eligible for ALPHA PRIME, my excitement level was exponentionally increasing with @AlphaCapitalUK But today, it decreased to zero in impulsive wave as I have been restricted to 1% risk/trade after 7 payouts from the same account which is active for last 6 months stating that my trading style is gambling. I have also shared my history from last payout based on which they have restricted me. I have taken total 96 trades in 6 months with risk 1% and average reward 2%. My account never went below -4% in drawdown since start. I don't know why they restricted me. Honestly I have mixed feeling, happy for payout approved and sad for this strange restriction.


Biggest scam of all time.. you ban traders who make money. Sick 🤷♂️😂 Please make it make sense



🚨Breaking: Trader sues @Topstep in US District Court Complaint alleges Topstep "systematic and deceptive scheme to extract subscription fees, commissions, exchange fees, and trading data from futures traders while employing an ever-shifting set of rules, restrictions, and account structures specifically designed to prevent those traders from achieving sustainable profitability or accessing funds they have legitimately earned." "Defendants have repeatedly changed the rules of engagement-imposing increasingly restrictive trading parameters, prematurely forcing Plaintiff into "live" accounts with oppressive conditions; and locking earned capital in an inaccessible "reserve" requiring mathematically near-impossible returns to unlock." 🧵
