I don't usually leave negative reviews
I don't usually leave negative reviews, but this experience with Funded Trader Markets was so frustrating that I felt I needed to share.
I joined their affiliate program and actively promoted their platform. After generating referrals, I requested commission payment. Their team then asked me to provide proof of traffic source and advertising content (screenshots, links, etc.). I compiled everything and submitted everything they requested in detail.
Then… silence.
No response for several days. I contacted them multiple times but received no clear answer. Finally, when I did receive a response, I was informed that my commission would not be paid due to an implicit “PPC violation.”
The problem is:
This had never been clearly communicated before in my case.
I provided all the requested evidence transparently.
Responses only come after a long period of no communication.
In my view, this feels like an unnecessary delay, followed by a reason for refusing payment instead of a fair review process.
I understand that companies need to enforce rules. However, communication and transparency are crucial—especially when affiliate partners are genuinely working hard and attracting traffic.
Currently, based on my experience, I cannot recommend their affiliate program. If you plan to promote them, ensure you receive clear confirmation of their traffic policy beforehand and maintain detailed records of everything.
I hope the support team will improve response times and process affiliate payments more transparently in the future.
Thank you for your feedback.
However, I would like to clarify that the documents I submitted as evidence were screenshots and links from blog posts and community/group posts, not PPC advertising campaigns.
I did not intentionally bid on your branded keywords or run ads bidding directly on Funded Trader Markets' brand. The evidence I provided was intended to demonstrate legitimate link promotion through online content and community marketing.
This is why I am confused by the conclusion that my traffic violated your PPC policy. If there was a specific campaign, keyword, or ad that led to this decision, I would appreciate it if your compliance team could provide more details or more precise evidence of the alleged violation.
I also wish to point out that the prolonged delay in communication has made the situation even more frustrating, especially after I have fully cooperated and provided all requested information.
I respect your policies, but in my view, this decision appears to be based on a misunderstanding of the traffic sources I provided.
Sincerely.

We appreciate you sharing your experience and we want to address it directly.
The commission was not paid because a PPC violation was identified in the traffic you submitted. Specifically, your campaign included bidding on our branded keywords, which is explicitly prohibited under Section 7 of our Affiliate Policy. This section is publicly available and is part of the terms every affiliate agrees to when joining the program. It is not an implicit rule and it is not a new one. It is a clearly stated prohibited activity listed alongside other serious violations such as fraudulent activity and fake referrals.
The review you submitted was not denied without reason or without process. You were asked to provide proof of your traffic source and advertising content. You submitted that evidence. That evidence is what confirmed the PPC violation. The outcome followed directly from what you provided.
On the communication delays, we acknowledge that the response time during the review period was not up to the standard we hold ourselves to and we are sorry for that. However the delay in communication does not change the nature of the violation or the decision that followed from it.
We understand this is a frustrating outcome, particularly when effort has been put into promotion. However the policy exists because PPC campaigns bidding on our brand name directly compete with our own advertising spend. This is not something we can make exceptions for regardless of the volume of referrals generated.

Reply from Funded Trader Markets
We want to address this review directly as the claims made are inaccurate and do not reflect what actually took place.
There was no rejection. What occurred was a deduction of profits generated from trades that violated our Minimum Trade Holding Time rule. This rule, which is fully documented and available on every single FAQ channel we have, states that any trade closed within 1 minute of being opened will have its profit voided. This does not result in an account breach, and the eligible portion of your performance reward was processed and paid in full. The deducted amount reflects only the profits from trades that fell below the 1 minute threshold.
On the account being closed after the reward. This is standard procedure for the Instant Pro model and is a feature of the program, not a penalty. A new account is issued after every successful reward request to adjust your profit split, which increases by 10% after each reward up to a maximum of 80%. As this was your first reward, the reissued account reflected a 60% profit split. The reissue also resets the trailing drawdown, which is one of the key benefits of the Instant Pro model.
We would also like to note that this review references an account from February. Since then, you have breached that account, purchased a new one, and received a full performance reward on it with no deductions, as there were no holding time violations. That outcome is a direct reflection of trading within the rules.
Given that this review does not accurately represent the situation and that your most recent experience with us has clearly been a positive one, we would encourage you to revisit what was written here. We are happy to assist with any further questions.

Things to Keep in Mind When Opening an Account with FTM!
Hello everyone;
I’d like to ask a question specifically regarding FTM. I haven’t purchased an account from you yet—though I am considering it—but I’ve read all the negative feedback and accounts of the issues and injustices people have experienced.
Generally speaking, I’d like to say this: I think everyone is losing their accounts because of the strict rules you’ve set and the violations. I understand that you need to make money off these banned and blocked users.
There is one thing I do appreciate about you, and that is this: You’ve responded to almost all the negative reviews. But in none of them have you offered a solution; you’ve merely explained and continued to defend your strict, non-negotiable policies.
If you continue this way, you’ll remain a worthless and spammy prop firm in people’s eyes. No matter how much you claim to have paid out—$4,000,000—the hardships people have endured will overshadow that amount.
The truth is, I wanted to try opening a $100k account with you using “Instant Funding.” Additionally, I intended to share my experiences with your firm through my X account (which has a 773k following). However, I had to abandon that plan. The reason is that your rules and policies are much stricter and more inflexible compared to those of your competitors. I decided not to proceed because I did not want to mislead people.
My intention was not to criticize your company, but to express my concerns about your rules and policies in a polite and respectful manner. With my sincerest regards.

Thank you for the detailed message and for being respectful in how you framed it. We want to respond with the same directness.
The premise that traders are losing accounts because of strict rules misses a critical point. Rules in prop trading are not there to trip traders up. They are there to simulate real risk management standards that any professionally traded account would be held to. A firm with no rules or loosely enforced ones is not a firm that can sustain itself or reliably pay out its traders. The rules are the product. They are what make the rewards meaningful.
On the point that we only explain and defend our policies without offering solutions. That is because in the vast majority of cases involving negative reviews, the outcome was the result of a rule being broken. There is no solution to offer in those situations beyond explaining what happened. We are not going to reinstate breached accounts or reverse valid compliance decisions as a customer service gesture. That would be unfair to every trader who respects the program and manages their risk accordingly. Consistency is not inflexibility. It is integrity.
On your comment that hardships will overshadow our track record. Traders who follow the rules do not experience hardship with us. The negative reviews you have read come from a specific subset of outcomes, overwhelmingly rule violations, not from traders who traded correctly and were treated unfairly. That distinction matters and it is one that anyone doing genuine due diligence would arrive at.
On the mention of your X following. We appreciate the transparency but it does not factor into how we respond or what position we take. We give the same answer to a trader with 773k followers as we do to anyone else.
We understand the rules may not suit every trading style and that is completely fine. We are not the right firm for every trader and we have never claimed to be. But for traders who operate within the framework, we pay. That is the model and it holds.

Hidden Rules and Lack of Transparency - Beware of the "Shield Risk Protocol"
am extremely disappointed with my experience at Fundedtrademarkets. I purchased a $5,000 Phase 2 account and opted for the 90% Profit Split Add-on. Without any clear warning during the checkout process, this add-on activated a "Shield Risk Protocol" which imposes a strict 1% ($50) floating loss limit.
My account was breached at only a 2% drawdown, even though the advertised daily drawdown limit is 4%. When I reached out to support, they claimed the rule was hidden behind a "Click here for more info" link. This is a highly deceptive practice. Critical risk rules that can fail an account should be clearly displayed, not buried behind links or vague icons.
This feels like a trap designed to make traders fail their evaluations. I have requested a reinstatement or a fair review of my case, but support has been unhelpful. I strongly advise other traders to be very careful with this firm's hidden terms.

We are going to address this review point by point because the claims being made are factually wrong and the characterization of our platform as deceptive is one we are not going to let stand unchallenged.
The Maximum Floating Loss Rule is the condition applied during the evaluation phase when you select the free 90% profit split add-on. You have stated that the rule was hidden behind a "Click here for more info" link. This is false. The 90% profit split add-on is optional. Nobody is required to select it. When you hover over the option on the checkout page, before even clicking to add it, a message is displayed making clear that the Maximum Floating Loss Rule applies. You do not need to click anything. The information is surfaced the moment your cursor reaches that option. Deciding not to read what is placed directly in front of you at the point of purchase is a choice you made, not something we are responsible for.
Let us also assume for a moment that you missed the checkout note entirely. The Maximum Floating Loss Rule is documented in full on our main website FAQ, our live chat FAQ, and our Discord server FAQ channel. It is in every single place we publish our rules. If you were not aware of this rule, that is not because we hid it. It is because you did not read the rules of the program you were purchasing. That is entirely on you.
The Maximum Floating Loss Rule and the daily drawdown limit are two completely separate conditions. The rule is triggered when the combined floating loss across all open positions reaches -1% of your account capital at any given moment. Your overall drawdown figure is irrelevant to how this is assessed. The threshold was reached and the rule was applied exactly as documented.
The account will not be reinstated. The condition was available to read before purchase, during purchase, and across every FAQ resource we have. Calling that a trap does not make it one.

The claim being made does not accurately reflect what took place.
You purchased a 2-Step Plus account with the free 90% profit split add-on. This add-on comes with a clearly stated condition: the Shield Risk Protocol is applied during the evaluation phase. This condition is displayed at the point of purchase. Hovering over the add-on on the checkout page presents a visible message explaining that this rule applies, with a hyperlink to read further. It is also documented across our FAQ pages. The information was available at every stage.
The first time this rule was violated on your account, it was treated as a soft breach. An email was sent to you at that point with a warning. That email was an opportunity to pause, read, and reach out to our support team for clarification if anything was unclear. That opportunity was not taken. The rule was violated a second time, which triggered a hard breach and resulted in the account being closed. This is the exact process as documented.
On the claim that you only lost 3%. The Maximum Floating Loss rule is triggered when the combined floating loss across all open positions reaches -1% of your account capital at any given moment. It is not based on your overall drawdown at the end of the day. The percentage you quote is not relevant to how this rule is assessed. The threshold was reached twice and the consequences applied accordingly.
The add-on was selected, the rule was documented, a warning was issued, and the hard breach followed a second violation. That is not a scam. That is a clearly communicated condition being enforced consistently.

The review is not coming out of hate but a disappointment from a trader because of there different lot sizing
I bought a 100k instant pro ac however my ac was in floating loss os usd 1400 1500 something i wanted to short 1 lot of GER40 and when i placed 1 lot short the floating loss started increasing and in no time within 5 mins i lost my ac because inside 1lot of GER30 in ctrader the volume is 25lots approx however im trading propfirm sucessfully since 5years this has never happen they must work in there lot size this is very disappointing that i loose my ac and it was not a 20 30 dollar ac it wqs a 577 usd ac so if u guyss trade with them make sure u check how many lots comes under 1 lot i use ctrader i dont know about others but in my case when i was placing 1 lot order the volume was not visible and thats disappointing i lost my entire savings n my trust in them i hope to get some resolution
Also i have bought many accounts with them before all big sizes spent almost 2500usd+ but this time im genuinely disappointed they must work on there lot size 1 lot must be 1 as default because in other propfirms also i use ctrade so placing 1 lot of buy or sell has only 1 volume and not 20 and 30lots like them

We understand this outcome has been disappointing and we want to address the points raised directly.
Contract sizes for index instruments such as GER40 are not standardized across the industry. They vary between brokers and prop firms, and in some cases vary between platforms as well. The dollar value per lot on GER40 at FTM may differ from what you have encountered elsewhere, and that is an industry reality rather than something we have control over or have misrepresented. It is the responsibility of every trader, regardless of experience level, to review the instrument specifications of any pair or index they intend to trade before placing a position. This includes checking the contract size, margin requirements, and the resulting dollar exposure per lot. Assuming that specifications will be identical across different firms because you have traded the same instrument elsewhere is not something we can be held accountable for.
The contract size for GER40 and all other instruments available on our platform is accessible within cTrader before any trade is placed. The information is there and it is the trader's responsibility to use it.
We would also like to point out that we offer a free position sizing and margin calculator on our website, which is available to all traders and is particularly useful when trading instruments you may be less familiar with or when moving between different firms. We would encourage you to make use of it going forward.
We are sorry the experience did not go as expected, but the outcome on this account is not a result of any error or oversight on our part.

Extreme 60% Profit Deduction Over a 2-Minute Technicality
Review Title: Extreme 60% Profit Deduction Over a 2-Minute Technicality!
Review Content:
I am extremely disappointed with Funded Trader Markets. I recently had $2,579.00 deducted from my payout due to their "Partial Close" rule, applied in the most unfair way possible.
I closed a 10-lot BTCUSD trade fully, and then 2 minutes later, I made a new decision to open a separate 5-lot trade. Because the gap between these two completely different ticket IDs was less than 15 minutes, the firm "aggregated" them and claimed I violated the carry-over rule because the second trade went into the next day.
It is shocking that a firm would strip a trader of $2,500+ over a 2-minute timing gap and a 4-minute carry-over. When I contacted support (Deen), the response was robotic and rigid, showing zero respect for the trader's intent or manual effort.
Pros: The dashboard is okay.
Cons: Sneaky "15-minute aggregation" rules used to trap profits, and a total lack of senior management flexibility.
Traders, beware: they will use every tiny technicality to avoid paying your full profit. My payout went from $4,190 to a mere $805 because of this "objective" trap. Stay away if you value your hard-earned profits.

Muhammad, we are going to address this review point by point because the framing used here is misleading and does not accurately represent what took place.
First, on the characterisation of this as a "2-minute technicality" and a "sneaky trap." The Partial Close rule is not a technicality and it is not hidden. It is clearly documented in our FAQ and our Terms and Conditions and is linked directly in the compliance email sent to you. The rule is straightforward: once any portion of a position is closed, all remaining volume must be fully closed within the same trading day, prior to the 5pm ET reset. The final 5 lots of your BTCUSD position were closed at 6:04pm ET, 1 hour and 4 minutes into the next trading day. That is a Partial Close violation regardless of how large or small the gap is. The reset applies at 5pm ET the same way for every trader on the platform.
Second, on the 15-minute aggregation rule. This rule exists precisely to prevent traders from fragmenting a single position into multiple ticket IDs to avoid policy enforcement. Positions opened on the same instrument within 15 minutes of each other are treated as one aggregated position for the purposes of the Partial Close rule. This is also documented. Describing it as being used to "trap" traders is a mischaracterisation of a rule that is applied consistently and without exception across all accounts.
Third, on the response from our support team. The response you received was not robotic. It was accurate, detailed, and fully broken down with the exact timestamps, lot sizes, and figures that led to the deduction. A full compliance report was attached. What you are describing as a lack of flexibility is simply our team applying the rules as they are written without making exceptions, which is exactly what traders should expect from a firm that operates with integrity.
The deduction of $2,579.00 is not arbitrary. It reflects the profit generated within the affected partial close sequence, which is excluded from payout calculations under our policy. Your account remains in good standing and your eligible performance reward of $805.65 was processed accordingly.
Every trader on this platform is held to the same rules under the same conditions. We do not make exceptions based on intent or the size of the timing gap, because doing so would be unfair to every other trader who ensures their positions are closed correctly before the reset. That is not a trap. That is consistency.

We want to address this review directly as several of the claims made are inaccurate and do not reflect what actually took place.
The FAQ information you are referring to is fully accurate and has been clearly understood by traders across our platform. For those who require additional guidance, our 24/7 support team is available at any time to walk through the rules in detail. That option was available to you before trading.
The FAQ provides clear examples using a $100,000 account as a reference point to illustrate how the overall drawdown limit works. Based on your own explanation during the live chat ticket you raised after the breach, you stated that you believed the rule only applied to $100,000 accounts and not your $200,000 account. That is a misreading of the FAQ and is not something that can be attributed to us. The rule applies regardless of account size and is documented consistently across our main website, live chat help centre, and our Discord server FAQ channel.
The support agent who assisted you was thorough and took the time to walk through the breach with you in full. Describing that interaction as unhelpful and unfriendly is not an accurate reflection of what took place.
We are a firm that has processed over $4,000,000 in performance rewards to our traders. The suggestion that we operate to collect challenge fees rather than reward performance is not supported by our track record.

We have already requested the details of your account so we can look into this properly. To date, that information has not been provided. Without an account number, email address, or any verifiable details, we are not in a position to recognize this review as legitimate or investigate the claim being made.
We also want to address the broader point being made about our support team being unwilling to assist. If an account has been breached and the breach is valid, we are not obligated to reinstate it. This is not a discretionary decision made by our team. As clearly stated in our FAQ, a hard breach results in the account being automatically marked as failed and trading being disabled. This is the system working exactly as it is designed to, applied objectively and consistently across every account on the platform. It has nothing to do with any agenda against individual traders and everything to do with the rules being upheld the same way for everyone.
If you experienced a genuine technical issue that you believe directly caused the breach, that is a separate matter entirely and one we are willing to look into, but we need your account details to do so. Please reach out to us at support@fundedtradermarkets.com with your account number and a description of what happened. Alternatively, updating this review with verifiable information will allow us to locate your account and respond accordingly.

We hope this message finds you well.
Following a routine compliance review of your Instant Plus account (#135562), we have identified multiple instances of prohibited trading activity, specifically Sequential Trading.
Sequential Trading refers to the practice of opening positions on the same trading pair from multiple accounts more than five minutes apart to work around risk limits. According to our program rules, if a position is opened on one account, any subsequent position on another account must either be opened within a 5-minute window or after the previous position is fully closed.
This rule is outlined in our FAQ here:
Is Martingale/Layering Allowed?
Summary of Findings and Adjustments:
Account: #135562
Originally Requested Payout: $9000.00

first of all on all this three accounts I traded different lot size but I open every trade same time I don't have an access to the other two accounts as I breached them I would like you to either allow me to have access to this account or you can screenshot and send me the details make sure to send me the all the trades from that day trades not just these particular ones, second of all as per the rules I read if this is the case as you mentioned then just deduct the amount profit of these particular trades why Sequential Trading Deduction –$28907.19
ONE THING I DONT UNDERSTAND IS IF I HAD A GAP THEN SHARE THE DETAILS WHAT ARE YOU AFFRAID OF. But they don't want to now they are saying that they will not reply to my emails.

Sahina, we are going to address every point raised in this review because several of the claims made are either factually incorrect or deliberately misleading.
Before we do, for the benefit of anyone reading this, we want to explain what the Sequential Trading rule actually is and where it is documented. Sequential Trading refers to the practice of opening positions on the same trading pair across multiple accounts more than five minutes apart. This is a prohibited strategy because it allows a trader to observe how an initial position performs before deciding whether to mirror or hedge it on another account, which undermines the risk parameters the program is built on. This rule is not buried in fine print. It is clearly and transparently published across our main website FAQ, our Intercom help centre, and our Discord FAQ. Any trader operating multiple accounts is expected to be familiar with it.
Now, on to the specific claims in this review.
On the suggestion that we picked trades randomly to fabricate a gap. That is not what happened. The report sent to you contains the specific trades that triggered the Sequential Trading violation, along with their exact timestamps, account numbers, lot sizes, open and close prices, and P&L. These are not figures we compiled arbitrarily. They are pulled directly from the trading records across your accounts and the gaps are documented to the second. Claiming we selected trades at random to manufacture evidence does not hold up against a report of that level of detail.
On accessing the other two accounts. You have stated repeatedly that you cannot verify the gaps because you no longer have access to the breached accounts. Both of those accounts remain visible on your dashboard. The full trade history for each account is available to you and can be cross referenced with the report at any time. This has not been restricted and there is nothing preventing you from doing so.
On the deduction amount. You have questioned why the Sequential Trading deduction of $28,907.19 exceeds the profit figures on the specific trades highlighted in the report. The deduction is not limited to the profit of the flagged trades in isolation. It is calculated based on the cumulative profit derived from the prohibited activity across the accounts involved over the identified period. This methodology is consistent with our policy and the figures in the report account for that in full.
On our team no longer responding. At the point where a case has been fully reviewed, a detailed report has been issued, the findings have been explained, and the same questions continue to be raised without any new information, a decision has been made and we are not obligated to continue that loop indefinitely.
Multiple instances of Sequential Trading were identified across your accounts. The gaps are timestamped, the trades are documented, and the report was provided to you in full. The outcome reflects the findings.
Funded Trader Markets has processed over $4,000,000 in performance rewards to traders who operate within the rules. The characterization of this firm as a scam is not supported by the evidence in your case and it is not supported by our track record.

First Payout Received Quickly – Highly Impressed
I recently completed my instant trading account successfully with Funded Trader Markets, and I’m happy to share that I’ve received my first payout without any issues.
I requested my withdrawal through Rise, and the amount was credited to my Rise ID very quickly. The entire process was smooth and efficient, which really builds confidence in the platform.
My first payout was $725.02, which is 80% of my net eligible amount of $906.28, exactly as per their profit split policy.
A big thank you to the team for their support and prompt processing. So far, my experience has been very positive, and I truly appreciate their professionalism.

Worst Prop Firm
Account No. - 119477 (Instant Funding Plus) and 135362(Instant Funded Pro)
I have mentioned account no. so they can't tell that I am fraud or this is a fake review.
Trading - I am using EA which places stop orders with fix TP and SL and I am using this same EA with 3 other prop firms and 1 direct broker.
Issue - So they have soft breaches which after multiple breaches will reduced your profit share in Instant Funding Plus apart from daily limit and hard limit which I have no issue. Problem is because I am using stop orders and Gold has volatility, apart from huge spreads this guys also have worst slippages. I use fix 50 pips sl but due to slippage it hits directly above 100 pips which surprisingly they have soft breach limit. Now I am not a novice trader I know how everything works but for the love of god pls use better liquidity providers. This guys have worst liquidity providers and as I said I use EA on other prop firms too and this guys have slippages even on normal days when there is no news where no other prop firm has slippages. And don't give me this gold volatility and war reason because gold is always volatile so use some of the money you are scamming from traders and get better liquidity provider. Its your responsibility just don't throw everything under the part of trading process.

Hello,
Your review contains serious accusations that are both incorrect and misleading.
Slippage and spread behavior are not something we control or manipulate. They are a direct result of market conditions, liquidity, and price movement, especially when trading a highly volatile instrument like Gold.
You are using an EA that places stop orders with fixed stop loss levels. When price moves quickly or gaps through levels, those orders are filled at the next available market price, not the requested price. This is standard market execution, not a platform issue.
A fixed 50 pip stop loss does not guarantee a 50 pip loss. In fast markets, execution can occur beyond that level, which is exactly what slippage is. This is a known and expected behavior in trading and has nothing to do with manipulation.
• We do not adjust spreads or slippage per trader
• All execution is based on live market pricing
• Soft breach detection is based on actual executed loss, not intended stop levels
Labeling this as “scamming” is inaccurate. What you are experiencing is normal market behavior, combined with a strategy that does not account for execution risk on a volatile instrument.
