Hello,

Your account was breached due to a valid overall drawdown violation. This was clearly identified on your dashboard and fully explained to you by our support team at the time of the breach. You were also provided with direct FAQ links and screenshots from your own dashboard showing how and when the drawdown limit was exceeded.

Nothing was done without explanation, and no rule was applied arbitrarily. The drawdown rules for your program are clearly outlined before purchase and are tracked in real time on the dashboard for transparency.

We encourage all traders to actively monitor their drawdown metrics and familiarize themselves with the rules of the program they choose, as breaches resulting from rule violations cannot be reversed.

We stand by the decision in this case.

Hello Saurabh,

Your review is misleading and does not reflect what actually occurred.

Your account was not blocked without information. You were sent a clear email explaining the reason for the breach, and you also contacted our live chat regarding the same issue. During that conversation, our support agent explained the violation in detail and clarified exactly why the account was breached.

After receiving this explanation, you requested a free restart of the account. As already explained to you, this is not possible, as we apply our rules consistently and transparently to all traders.

To be clear, you purchased this account with the 90% profit split add-on. By selecting this add-on, the floating loss rule is applied during the challenge phase. The rule works as follows: the first violation results in a soft breach and a warning and the evaluation continues, while the second violation results in a hard breach and the evaluation is failed.

Our records show that the floating loss rule was violated twice on your account. As a result, the second violation correctly triggered a hard breach, leading to the failure of the challenge.

At no point was information withheld, and no action was taken without explanation. The breach was valid, clearly communicated, and acknowledged by you during your interaction with our support team.

We stand by this decision and encourage all traders to carefully review and follow the program rules to avoid similar outcomes in the future.

Thank you so much for sharing this 🙌

We’re really glad to hear you’ve had such a smooth experience, especially with not one but two payouts processed that quickly. That consistency and speed is exactly what we aim for.

It’s also great to know our Discord and support team have been helpful along the way, they work hard to make sure traders get clear answers and timely assistance.

Wishing you the very best for your upcoming trades, and we’ll be looking forward to seeing that third payout soon 😄
Thank you for being part of the FTM community.

Your review is misleading, incorrect, and clearly written out of frustration rather than fact.

You claim in the same breath that you were paid and that we are a scam. That contradiction alone undermines the credibility of everything that follows.

Let’s be clear about what actually happened.

You were trading on a 1-Step Nitro account. This program uses a trailing lock overall drawdown, and this rule was not hidden, changed, or applied retroactively. It is clearly disclosed:
      •     On the checkout page before purchase via tooltip
      •     On FAQ pages on our website
      •     Inside the live chat help center
      •     Inside the live chat onboarding flow
      •     On our Discord rules channel

If you chose not to read the rules of the product you purchased, that is not a failure on our part.

On the 1-Step Nitro model, the overall drawdown trails your highest balance until you reach +6%. Once that level is reached, the drawdown locks at the initial balance and stops trailing. This is exactly how the rule functions in both the challenge phase and the funded phase. There is no reset and no automatic issuance of a new account after withdrawal on this model.

You already traded under this same drawdown mechanism during the challenge phase. The funded phase operates identically. Nothing changed.

During the process of requesting your reward, you didn't leave a sufficient enough buffer and after it was processed you were trading extremely close to the locked drawdown level. As a result, a relatively small loss was enough to breach the account. This is not a system error, and it is not a scam. On this model, each trader has the option to either request their entire reward after drawdown locks to initial balance and choose to breach the overall drawdown in the process or leave a sufficient buffer if they plan to continue trading on the account.

You also claim that we failed to issue you a new account. This further confirms that you did not understand, or chose not to read, the rules of the program you selected.

The 1-Step Nitro model uses a trailing lock drawdown, which is explicitly different from programs that use a resetting trailing drawdown after withdrawals. That reset behavior applies only to the Instant Standard and Instant Pro models. It does not apply to any 1-step program with a trailing lock drawdown.

You have never held any model outside the 1-Step category, and this was your first funded account with us. There is no valid comparison to support the expectations you described. Those assumptions were made entirely on your end.

For context, you requested a reward of $6,951.50, your first reward with us, which was processed and paid to you in 18 minutes. Instead of acknowledging the speed of that reward, you chose to publish a review built on false assumptions and misinformation.

You also contacted our support team, and the drawdown mechanism was explained to you clearly and promptly with supporting links and screenshots taken from your own dashboard. Rather than accept that explanation, you chose to ignore it and publish this review despite knowing it was inaccurate.

We did not “kick you out for being profitable.” We paid you exactly as requested, in full compliance with the rules you agreed to, and your account was breached afterward due to your own exposure decisions.

Blaming the firm after being paid, while ignoring clearly published rules, does not make the firm untrustworthy. It reflects a lack of understanding and accountability.

Had you taken a few minutes to review the program rules or consulted support before requesting your reward, this situation would have been entirely avoidable.

The breach is valid, the payout was processed correctly, no rules were changed, and this review is inaccurate.

We stand by our systems, our transparency, and our decision in full.
