SFX Funded 

warning its a scam.

I am interested with SFX Funded with its Instant account that provides 20% consistency which is also favourable to a trader

Scam firm not acive discord support
Chip also scammer

I was asked by SFX Funded’s legal team to reframe my original review, so I am providing a more detailed account of my experience and how I understood the situation.

The firm informed me that, after a “comprehensive review,” they believed my trading behaviour fell outside their acceptable framework. From my perspective, my activity consisted of discretionary swing trading in gold and silver during a sustained bullish period, which I believed was permitted under their stated rules.

They cited “persistent one sided exposure.” My understanding is that this reflected my directional bias following market structure. I did take occasional short trades to test potential reversals, but the broader trend remained bullish, so I maintained long exposure as part of a normal swing trading approach rather than as a fixed or systematic bias.

They also mentioned “excessive trade frequency and cycling behaviour.” I traded manually and held one position per account at a time. I did not use automation, high frequency execution, or strategies intended to generate artificial volume. My intention was to scale into or reassess positions as market conditions evolved, which I considered standard discretionary management.

Regarding “trading patterns inconsistent with sustainable risk management,” all trades were placed with defined risk in mind. Early on I misunderstood one aspect of their drawdown interpretation, but I adjusted once it became clear. At no point did I believe I was operating outside their written rules.

They further referenced “behaviour indicative of account churning across multiple accounts.” I maintained two accounts to separate risk and avoid concentrating exposure, not to cycle or exploit evaluation mechanics. I traded them independently and never mirrored positions in a way I understood to be prohibited.

The firm clarified that even if individual trades did not breach a rule, their decision was based on an overall behavioural assessment. This appears to rely on internal discretion rather than on specific rule violations, which made it difficult for me to understand how to remain compliant going forward.

At the time this review process began, my account balance was in profit and I expected, based on performance, a payout significantly larger than the purchase cost of the accounts. Instead, I was offered either a reset under stricter interpretation or a refund of the account fees, and I chose the refund to conclude the matter.

Support communication remained polite and the refund was processed as stated. However, my experience suggests that traders should understand that evaluations may depend not only on written rules, but also on internal behavioural assessments that are not always transparent from the outset.

Now it’s work good

Opened my second account today after getting payout on my first account. Never had a problem with them and hope it stays this way.

I failed my account and when I asked the team to help me understand they were so kind and helpful and now I know how to handle my trading to pass the account successfully. Thank you team for your help and support.

Wanted to try different strategies with this prop firm as I trade with other prop
Firms daily but be aware you will get stopped out pretty quickly and fail with the rules here. I was in a trade today where it didn’t even reach my daily loss but they failed me and not saying this prop firm isn’t good but there’s way better prop firms with less stress on rules. You can purchase for cheap prices here but the rules are tight and kinda got me super upset how easily they can fail you without reaching daily limit. Don’t think can I personally continue to trade with this prop firm due to that but others go ahead. You might have a different experience.

So far everything is fine, the account was given to me immediately and the assistance in responding to emails was very quick. I hope to make a payout as soon as possible with you

They are scammer they just took my money for no reason and breach accounts please do not trust them

Nice firm waiting for Payout

I’m writing this review to document my experience so other traders can make an informed decision.
purchased multiple SFXFUNDED evaluation accounts over a short period.
- I passed 3 accounts initially, which were later breached for allegedly violating a margin level rule (margin could not drop below 150%). I accepted this at first and later bought more accounts. I then passed 2 additional accounts, but those were also breached for the same margin rule. This time, I had screenshots showing my margin level stayed above 400% throughout the trades.

When I contacted support for clarification, after many back-and-forth emails:
I was told the issue was due to a broker-side leverage discrepancy (they said leverage should have been 1:10 instead of 1:30). However, at the time, their website and Discord both clearly stated 1:30 leverage.

Despite this inconsistency not being caused by me:
- My funded accounts were not granted
- I was offered only a refund only on the latest passed account or a reset back to Phase 1
- I accepted the refund as I had no other option

Post-resolution issue:
Months later, I posted an honest Trustpilot review describing this experience. SFXFUNDED contacted me asking to discuss it. After reviewing my evidence (including screenshots), they stated the matter was “already resolved” and accused me of providing false information. I was then threatened with legal action unless I deleted my review, despite the fact that I have documentation supporting my claims.

I do not encourage anyone considering SFXFUNDED. But if you do:
- Screenshot everything
- Clarify margin and leverage rules in writing before trading
- Be aware of how disputes are handled after you pass

This review reflects my personal experience and is supported by records and screenshots.

Can confirm good trading conditions and rules.

I achieved my first pay out which eas rejected for martingale style trading.... I've taken over 50 trades and they highlighted 1 example of that strategy ...all the other trades were legitimate ..I find it completely unfair that they reset my entire account when they couof have just minused that one trades profit..... its making me feel that this firm cant be trusted

I had Some questions and wrong communications.

But everything is solved.

Very good support team

Thanks again

All around great firm and service

A very peculiar company.

I purchased a 40k Instant Funding account and quickly discovered several “hidden rules,” as well as support staff who apparently are not familiar with their own guidelines.

I specifically asked support which date counts toward the daily performance metric—the opening date or the closing date of the trade.

Support replied that the closing date would be used. I have the E-Mail, where you can read this.

Based on this information, I opened a gold swing position and scaled out of it over three days, generating daily profits of approximately $150–$200 in order to comply with the consistency rule.

However, once the trade was fully closed after three days, I noticed that all profits had been attributed to the opening date rather than the closing date.
Due to the 15% consistency rule, it is almost impossible to reach the payout amount.

You can review my account: 662607 - That all I say here, is right!

Instead of offering any form of compensation, I received half-hearted messages such as “Oh, yes sorry, that was our mistake, but we can't do anything.”
A new Instant Funding account free of charge would have been the only fair compensation, as it is more than obvious—further supported by documented evidence—that the error was clearly on SFX-Funded’s side.

Furthermore, trading via SFX’s Match-Trader platform is an absolute ordeal. I have never encountered such a poor setup in my life. Spreads are at least 10 points on the Dow Jones. When you try to set a stop-loss, you have to be extremely quick; if you do not adjust it within seconds, your position is closed because the SL is automatically placed at the entry level by default.

All in all, it was a truly terrible experience.

good ,polite ,fast customer support

An issue with my payout request due to a recent house move was resolved very quickly by the team. I appreciate their support and assistance to resolve the problem quickly.

I passed phase 1 in eight trading days and phase 2 in five. My funded account was given 10 hours after I passed phase 2. It took me 4 weeks to request my first payout and it got approved within 8 hous.
