Fast payout process by Hantec trader. Less than 24hours after request, my money landing safely on my crypto wallet. Just need little improvement on the funded account review, faster will be better.

It took decades for they to approve the reward. They say it takes only 2 days. Bunch of lie.

Hello Thimoteo,

On some occassions payouts can take slightly longer due to further reviews occurring when trading history has been flagged.

As we mentioned via email, this occurred in your case. Upon receiving all information we can see your payout was processed with 84 business hours total from the time of submital.

Kind Regards,

I’m one of the winners from the…

I’m one of the winners from the recently concluded contest.

I won a $2,000 funded account, then requested a payout, which was paid. The next day, I went on to continue trading on my account but was told that if I opened any position, I would breach the account. They said after my withdrawal, my max loss drawdown was set to my balance, which is $2,000, which is ridiculous.

A live funded account is meant to be traded continuously, even after multiple withdrawals, until it’s lost. But here at Hantec, it’s not that way.

Very disappointed with what I found out. Also glad I didn’t invest personal funds to see this play out. Lastly, I must commend their withdrawal time frame.

Lack of transparency in an important rule change

I’ve been a recurring client of Hantec Trader since 2024 and have purchased multiple Enhanced Challenges over time.

My second most recent purchase was in February 2026, and shortly after, I purchased another challenge in March — assuming the core structure of the product remained the same, based on my previous experience.

One of the main reasons I chose this company over others was the absence of minimum trading days, which gave traders flexibility and allowed different trading styles.

Recently, I realized that a new rule had been introduced: a requirement of 3 profitable days per phase.

The issue here is not the rule itself.

The issue is how it was communicated.

Before writing this review, I actively tried to find information about when this change was implemented. I checked the usual communication channels (Discord, announcements, and other updates), but I did not find any clear or prominent communication regarding the introduction of the 3 profitable days rule.

At the same time, I did find clear announcements about the increase to 80% profit split, which was communicated to users around the same period and applied to accounts purchased from February 22.

This highlights the main concern: an important structural change was not communicated with the same level of visibility as promotional updates.

This is a major change. It directly affects trading strategy and prevents traders from passing a phase in a single day — something that was previously possible and was one of the key advantages of this program.

Yes, we understand that traders should read the rules.

However, for a company of this size, I did not expect such a significant change to be introduced without clear and direct communication to the community. Important changes like this should be actively announced, not simply updated in the background.

I only became aware of when this rule was implemented after asking directly in Discord support, where I was informed it was added on February 22.

I want to be clear: I actually like the company and my experience overall has been positive. My dissatisfaction is specifically with how this change was handled.

I do not agree with such an important rule being implemented without proper communication — especially when other updates (like the 80% profit split) were clearly announced during the same period.

This raises a valid concern:

If such an impactful rule can be implemented without clear communication, what guarantees do traders have about future changes?

I believe improving transparency in situations like this is essential to maintain trust, especially with returning clients.

Hi Ailton,

First of all, we'd like to thank you for being a trader with us for so long! It's because of traders like you that we work so had to deliver a great service so we're sorry that you felt our communication about the rule changes weren't sufficient. In the same email about the increase to our profit split, we mentioned all the updates to our rules for future accounts (existing accounts and funded journeys continued with the legacy rules) and sent a link to our rule section so traders could review everything for themselves. Moving forward, we'll do our best to communicate information like this more clearly.

Thank you for your feedback. We hope you'll continue to trade with Hantec Trader going forward.

Kind regards,
Tha Hantec Trader Team

Scan

1. Account Purchase & Challenge Completion
I purchased the 2-step EnhancedX 50k account challenge.
Step 1: All TPs hit 🎯
Step 2: All TPs hit 🎯
2. Trading Strategy
No news trading
Trade duration: 20 minutes to 2 hours
Only one trade per day
3. Challenge Result
I successfully passed all challenges and received an email stating that I would receive a live account within 72 hours.
4. Issue Faced
Even after 72 hours, I did not receive the live account, so I contacted support.
5. Company Response
They replied via email claiming that I violated their rules, but they failed to provide any proper evidence.
The most important point is: all my trades hit TP, so which rule did I actually violate?
They also mentioned that they would refund me if I violated any rules while passing the challenge—then why are they offering a refund instead of clearly proving the violation?
6. My Understanding
As I understand, their system works like this:
They want users to buy challenges
You fail multiple challenges (e.g., 20 times)
When you finally pass one challenge, they make excuses and issue a refund
Meanwhile, the money lost in the failed challenges remains with them
7. Final Concern
If they truly want to refund, they should refund all the money I have spent on every challenge so far. But they won’t 😴😴😴😄
Conclusion:
This appears to be a trap.

had a very disappointing experience with Hantec Markets prop firm. I successfully passed the funded challenge after following all the rules and risk management guidelines. However, when it came to issuing the live account, my account was rejected citing “margin issues.”
This reason was never clearly explained during the challenge phase, and no proper clarification was provided even after contacting support. It feels unfair to complete all requirements and then get disqualified on unclear grounds at the final stage.
This raises serious concerns about transparency and consistency in their evaluation process. Traders should be cautious before investing time and money here.

Hi Siraj,

I'm sorry the challenge didn't go as planned. We state all our rules in full on our website Rules page and have 0 hidden rules.

On rules state that maximum margin usage should not exceed 85% and this would have been detected at some point during the challenge phase. As is standard within the industry, a full review is conducted following completion of Stage 1 and 2 ahead of the upgrade.

When a trader has breached any rule during the challenge phase, we issue a full refund of the challenge fee which was actioned.

We'd love to welcome you back to try again.

Kind regards,

Waste of time

Waste of time. Hantec trader is disqualifying everyone AFTER you pass both stages or about to withdraw your money, beware with prop firm. Never had problem before.

8 Days and still waiting for promised Refund (Account 80012771)

I was promised a refund for my challenge fees on Account 80012771 after an unfair "Group Trading" allegation. It has now been 8 days, and I am still waiting for the funds to be processed.
Despite having 89% unique trades (219 out of 247), my payout was denied based on only 11% of my activity. I accepted the refund offer to move on, but the lack of communication and the delay in issuing the refund is very concerning.
Hantec Trader, please honor your commitment and process the refund immediately. I will update this review once the funds are received.

Update (March 11, 2026):
"I am updating my review to confirm that I have now received the full refund of my challenge fees for account 80012771. After expressing my concerns regarding the 8-day delay, the Hantec team processed the transaction promptly.

While I still disagree with the 'Group Trading' allegation regarding my strategy, I appreciate that the firm honored their commitment to return my initial fees. For any trader facing similar issues, I recommend staying professional and keeping a clear record of your communication. My case is now resolved."

Been trading with hantech trader for about 3 months now, finally managed to pass the stages, done my KYC and got done for Copy trading, contact support and just vague replies, not copying anything from anyone. Just another scam company trying to get money out of challenges. Really disappointed.
