The Funded Trader Reviews 22,031

While I used to enjoy trying to work with TFT.

My issue is that I opened a large funding account. And then it keeps having system issues when logging in. I tried to reach out. Through their support/ email-not active, number-not active/discord-no response.

Now my account is also having issues logging in to my back office. Their customer support channels are very difficult, if not impossible, to reach out to someone for help.

I've been waiting for my coupon for a paid challenge for a year and a half now. They deleted my account and there's no support. THEY'RE SCAMMERS, don't buy anything from them.

SCAM! I had live accounts and a few challenges, when I was able to login. Now I try to login, I get a message stating "Failed to send access code" and before this message before tempting to login in. It would state that account or email was invalid...SMH scammers. You guys are getting what you deserve sooner or later.

The company doesn't pay out earned money. Scam!!!

This prop firme is a scam

I grew my 200k account to 240k, meeting all the requirements for a payout. However, the website suddenly blocked my access without any explanation.
They have not processed my payment and it's been 3 months with absolutely no communication from their side. I've tried reaching out multiple times through different channels, but they simply ignore all requests.

This is clearly a scam. They let you trade and grow the account, but when it's time to pay, they block you and disappear.

Stay away from this company. There are many legitimate prop firms out there - don't waste your time and effort with The Funded Trader Program.

I am compelled to share my extremely frustrating experience with The Funded Trader. What has happened is completely unacceptable and serves as a major warning to any potential investor.

The Issue in Detail:
For the pastfour to five months, I have been completely unable to log in to my account using the Match Trader platform. During this entire period, I repeatedly contacted their support team via email, only to receive automated replies every single time. There was no genuine effort from any human representative to resolve my persistent login issue.

After being locked out of my account for months without any meaningful assistance, The Funded Trader ultimately decided to terminate my $25,000 funded account – an account that I had purchased with my own money.

My Demands:
I formally demand that The Funded Trader:

1. Immediately restore my $25,000 funded account.
2. Provide a genuine and effective solution to the Match Trader login issue.
3. Compensate for this extensive period of inability to trade by significantly extending the validity of my account.

Final Warning to Potential Traders:
I strongly advise any prospective trader to think twice before engaging with The Funded Trader.If you encounter any technical issues, their support system is non-responsive and ineffective. Their ultimate "solution" to a problem they failed to fix is to simply shut down your account. This behavior is utterly unprofessional and unbecoming of a trustworthy proprietary trading firm.

I will continue to update this review until my case is resolved fairly.

I purchased a challenge account in July 2025, passed it, and received confirmation. Problems began during KYC, though initial support helped resolve that in early August. I was then given a funded account but was never able to access it.

Support responded only once or twice, saying the issue was on their side, and since then has stopped replying entirely. Despite having the funded account details, I cannot access the dashboard or account, and repeated attempts through email, live chat, and Discord received no response.

This has been one of the worst experiences and I certainly DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM!

Passed the challenge phase and now i cannot login into the website it shows failed to get access code !
this company is a scam !

Still havent been able to access my account

This company went dark for weeks, without any explanation. Many or maybe all account have been breached manually by them, without any refunding or explanation for the customers.

Everyone affected: hand in a refund via your payment provider. There is already legal actions against Angelo (CEO), thats the only way to get some money back.

I had a deeply disappointing experience with this company. After successfully completing the first two challenges, I received my funded account about a week later. Things seemed promising, until I started trading and earned approximately $2,000 in profit. Out of nowhere, they deducted $3,000 from my account, accusing me of copy trading.
When I requested evidence, they provided a few trade screenshots without any meaningful explanation or context. No proper investigation, no transparency, just vague accusations. It felt like they were actively trying to sabotage my progress.
In my opinion, this company operates in a highly questionable manner. I strongly advise others to stay away.

These ones scammed me, shame.

THEY DID NOT PAY ME OUT!!!! Do NOT buy a challenge with this firm!!! I've been purchasing challenges with them for at least a year. I like their platform, price point, and customer service.

After some mentorship and a mindset coach, my trading greatly improved and I passed their 2 phase challenge in 2 weeks. The 3rd week, I earned an additional 10% and reached my first payout.

After submitting my payout request, I received an email for an interview. They wanted to confirm my identity and trading strategy. Yet they missed the first appointment and were clearly dragging their feet to conduct the interview for reasons that were soon obvious...

After logging onto the Zoom, there were 2 people conducting the interview that remained off camera. The questions they were asking felt like an interrogation- which was unnerving. They had meticulously reviewed my account and cross examined me on a few of my worst trades.

I could tell they were desperately trying to find reasons NOT to pay me out- highlighting my worst performance days. After the interview concluded, I was sent an email that stated they were ONLY going to give me 30% of my payout and I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED THAT.

The reasons they gave were not based off the firms rules but individual opinions... 1. I came "close" to breach one day. 🤔 (which does NOT violate rules) 2. I placed a trade in the opposite direction on one event which suggests I could be "emotional" 🤨 (or perhaps I was trading a range- which does NOT disqualify my account) 3. I closed a trade within 10 minutes that earned 2 % so that suggests high risk behavior. I trade GOLD which is very volatile when it has a lot of volume- so why am I being punished for closing a trade that's given me my profit target of 1%-2%?? What trader doesn't close a profitable trade when the asset aggressively moves to their target? I CLOSE BECAUSE IF I GET A HUGE PROFIT MY CONSISTENCY SCORE WILL REQUIRE MORE EARNINGS FOR PAYOUT. (I HAD TO EARN 10% JUST TO GET THIS ONE!!!) IS CLOSING EARLY WHEN YOU'VE REACHED YOUR GOAL AGAINST THE RULES?! NO, IT IS NOT. There are days it can take hours and sessions it can take minutes. Anyone who trades volatile assets knows this and respects this and profits off this. 4.They had concerns I was sharing my account because I had used alternative email addresses and wanted me to verify my trading strategy to ensure it was me trading. After sharing my screen I broke down exactly how I trade and confirmed the 3 emails were all mine. They said they believed me and didn't think I was being deceptive.

The email concluded that because of my aforementioned high risk behavior (NOT ONE VIOLATION but a lot of criticism), they were able to "OFFER ME" a reduced payout!!! They gave NO reasonable explanation as to why the reduction was 70% and are ostensibly the kind of firm that does NOT play by their own rules but by their individual- ambiguous terms. They owe me $5000 and there's not one individual there who's bias can nullify the FACT THAT I MADE $6200 ETHICALLY AND BROKE NONE OF THE FIRMS RULES IN DOING SO!!!

No trader trades the same. We have good days and bad, winning streaks, and losing days. We are all free to trade according to our own temperament and strategies... and we all qualify for our FULL PAYOUT AS LONG AS WE REMAIN ELIGIBLE AND DON'T VIOLATE THE FIRMS RULES OR ENGAGE IN UNETHICAL PRACTICES.

The email had the audacity to state they were going to allow me to keep trading... of course you are going to "allow" me to keep trading because I didn't break the rules or breach the account and made 23% in 3 weeks...

This was my 1st payout and to say I'm vehemently disappointed by their deplorable behavior is an understatement. This was the only firm that I would faithfully use ironically. I wanted to be a daytrader for Funding Traders bc even though I blew dozens of accounts the staff were always supportive and prompt. I really thought this firm was one of the good guys.

Not many traders reach a payout, but when you finally do and they say "Hey- I'm going to offer you 30%", it hits you that forex is not the scam. These firms are...

I'm not sure if I'm going to continue to trade this funded account bc I KNOW now, they don't payout... But I WILL absolutely be recounting my experience with Funding Traders to my podcast audience, discord, telegram, IG, etc. because the one thing EVERY honest trader deserves is their payout. God bless

Update: They paid me 30% of my earnings but I'm still seeking my FULL PAYOUT bc my lawyer says this is not only a case for payout denial (fraudulent practices), but it's also theft... BECAUSE IF THEY "OFFERED 30%", it means they stole 70%.

Please stay away from this prop firm, they moved my accounts from mt5 to match trader and I wasn’t able to log into them, I took the same trade on two accounts and the account that was in profit had the trade closed multiple times but on the other account ,that was in drawdown, the trade was kept open.

Been over a month that I can't access my evaluation. Zero communication. They set up an Ai which keeps users going in circular conversations... No support. No responses. No updates. Just lying that systems are "under migration." I trusted TFT and Angelo after their relaunch. It was an error of judgement on my part. TFT wasted my time and money on the evaluation.

waiting for payout since march 2024 and after their relaunch i passed acc again and secured payout but now they just gone , we cant access our dashboard or acc or forget about payout they just gone without public shutdown

Scammers!!! I had an account of 25k which I traded for 7k profit. They said that they will migrate their platform, and disallowed any payouts (aparently just for me). Each time I was going to their support they said that it's because of migration and that they will fix it. Last thing they did they disallowed my account on mt5 (saying that they move to voyage markets). Initially worked for a couple of days and then could not login any more. When contacting them, they did not get back to me. Now I cannot login. Don't buy challenges with them, you will not get paid!

This propfirm doesn't even deserve a 1 star. Proper scammers. Their owners deserve prison time. You can't keep scamming people like this. We work hard for this money. You deserve some prison time for this. Useless PROPFIRM.
