The Short Version:
I was a profitable trader ($850 realized profit). A technical glitch on their proprietary "Platform X" failed to cancel a limit order I had removed before sleeping. The "ghost order" filled overnight and breached my account. When I asked for help, support admitted their platform has a 250ms artificial delay (screenshot attached), demanded impossible "video evidence" of a past event, and then banned me permanently when I complained, citing "Code of Conduct" to steal my profit.
The Detailed Evidence:
1. The "Ghost Order" Glitch: On Jan 22, I flattened my account and cancelled all limit orders. The client-side app showed them removed. However, the server-side kept them active. This synchronization failure caused a position to open while I slept.
2. The Admission of Rigged Latency: When I contacted support, their own AI agent stated: "We apply delays up to 250ms to simulate real market conditions." (See Screenshot 1).
• Reality Check: Real futures execution is 20-50ms. By injecting 250ms of lag, they are intentionally breaking the connection between your click and the server. This caused my "Cancel" command to be dropped.
3. The Impossible Evidence Trap: Agents Tony and Michal demanded I provide "video evidence" of me cancelling the order hours after it happened. How can I video record the past? When I sent video of their platform glitching in real-time (login loops, errors), they dismissed it as "internet issues" despite my 100Mbps connection.
4. Retaliatory Termination: After I proved their platform was at fault and demanded my legitimate $850 profit, they stopped replying to the technical issue and banned my account for "Code of Conduct" violations. They weaponized their ToS to silence a valid creditor.
Conclusion:
'For Traders' is not running a fair prop firm. They are running a simulated environment with rigged latency (250ms) designed to cause errors. If you profit, they will find a "glitch" to breach you. If you complain, they will ban you. Do not trust them with your capital.
To 'For Traders' Management:
I have the full transcripts. I have the latency admission. Reinstating Account #7333184 and processing my $850 payout is the only way to resolve this.

Update after ForTraders’ public response:

Thank you for your reply.

However, your response does not accurately reflect what actually happened, and I would like to clarify the facts precisely.

First incident:
In the first case, you informed me by email that the 40% margin rule was breached and, based on that, more than $4,000 in profits were removed.
At that time, despite the fact that this specific margin calculation method was not publicly explained or clearly disclosed, I accepted your decision in good faith. We mutually agreed to remove the profits and reset the account, with the clear understanding that the issue was resolved and closed.

Second incident:
In the second case, I traded again after following your instructions, using your own lot size calculator and margin methodology. My account size was $50,000, my exposure was conservative, and no 40% margin breach occurred under any transparent calculation.

Despite this, you removed $3,000 in profits again, without providing any concrete numerical breakdown or evidence of a new violation. What effectively happened is that I was penalized a second time for the first incident, which had already been acknowledged, settled, and closed.

This creates a very serious problem:
• It implies that even after accepting a penalty and resetting the account, any future profits can be removed repeatedly,
• Based not on a new violation, but on a previously resolved issue,
• Making it impossible for a trader to ever trade with confidence or finality.

In other words, under this logic, no amount of future compliance would ever protect a trader’s profits, because the same past event can be reused indefinitely as justification.

Additionally, this is not an isolated experience. There are multiple reports of disputed and denied payouts from other traders publicly available on platforms such as PropFirmMatch, which further supports the concerns raised in my review.

Regarding support, while you state that your team aims to help, my experience was the opposite. The communication felt provocative, dismissive, and focused on delay rather than resolution, despite my consistently respectful and professional tone.

Finally, I would like to state clearly:
I possess all documentation, emails, chat logs, and trade records that support my position. Everything written in my review reflects exact events as they occurred, without exaggeration, misrepresentation, or added claims.

This response is not written out of emotion, but out of concern for transparency and fairness. Traders deserve clear, final, and enforceable rules — not outcomes that can change after profits are made, even when previous issues were already resolved.

This review remains an accurate reflection of my
experience.

I am sharing my personal experience with ForTraders, and unfortunately it has been extremely disappointing.

After receiving a funded account, I faced repeated issues with profit removal based on what they call the “40% margin rule.” Despite carefully calculating margin usage and trading well below the stated limits, my profits were removed twice.
• First incident:
More than $4,000 in profits were deleted, with the explanation that I must use their “own margin calculation method,” which was never clearly documented in advance.
• Second incident:
I strictly followed their instructions, used their official lot size calculator, applied their method exactly as requested, and traded very conservatively.
My account size is $50,000, and I traded 0.3 lot on XAUUSD, which is clearly far below 40% margin usage by any standard calculation.
Even then, after making $3,000 in profit, the profits were removed again for the same reason.

This raises serious concerns about transparency and consistency. Rules appear to be interpreted retroactively, making it impossible for traders to know in advance whether their profits will be honored.

Additionally, my experience with customer support was very frustrating. Despite always communicating politely and professionally, the support responses felt provocative, dismissive, and unhelpful, rather than focused on resolving the issue fairly.

Another major red flag is the lack of publicly verifiable payout proofs. From my experience and from discussions with other traders, it appears that profits above small amounts are frequently disputed or denied, which severely undermines trust.

This is not how a professional prop firm should operate.
A funded trader should not have profits removed after trades are closed, rules are followed, and risk is clearly controlled.

I strongly advise traders to proceed with extreme caution and to document everything if they choose to work with this company.

Overall, I’ve had a good experience with this prop firm. At one point my account was breached, but after reviewing what happened, they gave me another chance since I genuinely didn’t fully understand one of the rules at the time. I really appreciated that, because it showed they were willing to be fair and not just immediately disqualify traders without hearing them out.

Their challenges are a great way to get started and dive straight into trading a funded account, which is what most traders are really aiming for. The rules are flexible enough compared to many other firms, and the profit split is reasonable and competitive.

Like with any prop firm, you still need to make sure you fully understand the rules before trading, but once you do, it’s a solid opportunity for traders who are serious about improving and getting funded.

I recently had an issue with my trading account due to my own negligence, and I reached out to ForTraders’ customer care team for assistance. I was fortunate to be helped by TONY, who provided outstanding support, resolving the problem quickly and professionally.

The level of patience, clarity, and dedication shown during the process truly stood out. It gave me confidence that ForTraders not only values its traders but also ensures that their concerns are handled with care and efficiency.

I’m grateful for the assistance I received and highly recommend ForTraders to anyone looking for a reliable prop firm to trade with. Their customer service is top-notch, and the support team—especially TONY—demonstrates the kind of professionalism every trader hopes to find.
Thank you, ForTraders, for making the trading journey smoother and more reassuring!

One of the best company with a great support system, fast payout and a big thanks Tony for supporting me. One of the best prop firm ever

I am very satisfied with the services and chat support especially Juan. He was so helpful and explained things to the very minute details that made me understand everything

Very poor and discouraging experience.

My account was fully reset, despite the fact that:
• My trading strategy was profitable
• No other rule violations were found
• The firm itself acknowledged the value of my strategy

The reset was enforced due to a margin rule that was not clearly communicated upfront. Once informed, I immediately acknowledged the mistake and explicitly requested to continue trading without resetting the balance, committing to full compliance going forward. This request was ignored.

Wiping a trader’s balance over a single margin misunderstanding, with no malicious intent and no repeated violations, is excessive and demotivating. This approach shows a lack of flexibility and trader support, and makes it extremely difficult to build long-term cooperation.

If you trade here, be aware:
Even profitable performance does not protect you from a full reset. One unclear rule interpretation is enough to erase all progress.

I cannot recommend this firm to serious traders who value fairness, transparency, and long-term collaboration.

I am very satisfied with For Traders . I just got a Master account, I was a bit sceptic, because I needed to have a verification conversation, but it was very friendly conversation to check if I really trade and not use any bots. I am very happy that I can start now earning real profit :D
Contact with a help desk is very easy, and problems are quickly solved. Recently, Pavel helped me in few minutes. Thank you :)

JUAN was very helpful to me. I would like to thank him here. He answered all my questions and their live support is very fast. I recommend them.

Juan was really hepful. He tried his best to solve my problem. Thanks!

5-Stars for their customer service, specifically for Pavel who answered some questions I had that weren't explained on the website nor via the AI chat bot. Additionally, the trader's dashboard including Magnus the AI Coach has been very helpful as I work my way from a developing trader to a consistently profitable one. Thank you Pavel, Magnus, and ForTraders!
