FundingPips: "Zero Reward Denial." @ranashazaibkhan says his $10K Master was closed at +$581.60, 12 days before his Nov 18 payout, over a Device ID match that "may indicate" shared use. He says no other account was named. What proves shared use, @fundingpips?
🚨 FUNDINGPIPS, WE HAVE SOME SERIOUS QUESTIONS.
A trader has come forward claiming his $40K Master account was closed just 12 days before his first scheduled payout on November 18.
According to his statement:
• Both evaluation phases were passed.
• The account was up $681 on the day of the incident.
• At 2:07 PM, he received an email from FundingPips' Responsible Trading team stating that his account was violated.
The reason? An alleged Device ID match with another user.
But here's where things get suspicious...
The trader claims there was no shared trade history, no matching trading name, and no evidence of copied trades.
How can a device match alone establish wrongdoing without further evidence?
And why did this happen so close to the trader's first payout?
Even more concerning, is FundingPips following the same troubling trend we're seeing across the prop firm industry, where traders report payout rejections just before their expected withdrawals?
If the screenshots and timeline are authentic, these are some serious questions that deserve proper answers.
Is this a legitimate risk-control decision, or is something not adding up?
FundingPips, the trading community is watching. We want answers. 👀
Trader-supplied receipts: a $10K Master dashboard marked Closed (#21138050, +$581.60, Next Reward Nov 18) and an email citing a Device ID match that "may indicate" shared use. He says FundingPips never named the other account.
FundedNext sells challenges from about $50. Clause 9.8 of its CFD terms states $25,000 for a 'prohibited trading practice,' per trade, strategy, account or device. Have you ever enforced that clause, @FundedNext?
you pay @FundedNext $50 for a challenge
they can charge you $25,000
per trade
Clause 9.8 of their CFD challenge terms:
break a “prohibited trading practice” and you “shall pay the Provider a contractual penalty of twenty-five thousand American dollars (USD 25,000)”
“for each such breach and/or... for each trade, strategy pattern, account, device”
what counts as prohibited? clause 8.15:
“grid trading, tick scalping,” “repeated ‘all-in’ bets”
and 8.21: the list is “not exhaustive”
so grid trade 10 times and on paper that’s $250,000

Upcomers advertises payouts under 12 hours. @_featherstones says it denied a ~$12,995 withdrawal for a 'prohibited strategy': scaling out of partial profits, which he says isn't on its published prohibited list. Which written rule bans that, @upcomers_com?
SCAM stay away from @upcomers_com prop had $12995 took from my account and withdrawal denied! broke no rules, just did a prohibited strategy!
i close out partial profit as im a single trader so scale out of a trade ! stay away please

Receipt: Upcomers withdrawal-review email showing net +$12,955.42 before the Prohibited Strategies section. Full strategy name was cut off in the trader's screenshot. @upcomers_com, name the written rule.
Blue Guardian says keep 90% of the profits. @bmtltt says two KYT interviews ended in three denied payouts totaling $3,614.40 and terminated accounts for alleged third-party management, with no trade data shared. Where's the evidence, @BlueGuardiancom?
🚨 BlueGuardian Terminated Trader Account & Denied 3 Payouts…
This trader (@bmtltt) claim @BlueGuardiancom terminated his funded account & denied 3 payout requests after requiring him to complete two KYT interviews.
According to the trader:
• He was trading 4 Reserve funded accounts & became eligible for payouts on 3 accounts
• Payout requests: $1,031.40, $1,272.60 & $1,310.40
• After 2 days, BlueGuardian sent him a KYT Interview link
• He completed 2 interviews & explained his NQ futures strategy, using macroeconomic analysisb& market structure (HH/HL, LH/LL)
• BlueGuardian later terminated the account, alleging potential third-party account management
• The trader disputes the allegation & says BlueGuardian hasn’t provided the trading data or specific evidence supporting it
Instant Funding measures risk by stop-loss size. @ahmeker says three BTC shorts on a $25K account realized about $274, below the $375 (1.5%) cap, but it calculated $402 in risk and cancelled his payout. How was that $402 calculated, @InstantFunding_?
Scam alert ⚠️ @InstantFunding_
Scam exposed⬇️
Instant Funding arbitrary risk calculation and payout denial expose a fundamental lack of transparency and fairness in their trading rules.
The trader held three BTCUSD short positions on a $25,000 account.
Realized losses across these trades totaled approximately $260 well below the firm stated 1.5% maximum risk threshold of $375.
MT5 records clearly confirm these actual losses.
Despite this, Instant Funding rejected the payout by inventing an unsupported calculated stop loss risk figure exceeding $400.
The firm applied this theoretical metric days after the trades closed and only upon the trader withdrawal request, claiming simultaneous exposure that the actual closed P&L never produced.
Their own email acknowledges the individual realized losses while simultaneously substituting an unexplained, higher calculated risk with no transparent methodology, formula or prior disclosure matching standard risk rules.
This approach effectively allows the firm to retroactively rewrite outcomes to void paying traders and withhold earned payouts.
Prop traders deserve clear, consistent, and pre-defined risk rules not post-hoc adjustments designed to deny compensation.
Instant Funding handling of this case demonstrates a pattern of opacity that undermines trust in their evaluation process.
MyFundedFutures says 'Fast payouts.' @d_butners shared a $7,328.10 eligibility screen and a $4,428 certificate: $2,900.10 less. He says support isn't answering. What explains the difference, @MyFundedFutures?

Shark Funded advertises 'Daily Payouts.' @risers343 says his $188.30 request was rejected for a 'breached' account, with 20% kept and no trade identified. He says the rule isn't in its FAQ. Which trade broke which rule, @SharkFundedfirm?
Payout rejected with @SharkFundedfirm successfully 🤡🤬
These bullshit propfirm claims that after requesting a payout you can’t paid if you breached the account.
I don’t know from where they claimed this.
I checked their f&q but I can’t find this shit which they claims.
If you don’t want to paid then just stop your firm @ibrahimshkh10.
Such a bad experience never expected from you.
Equity Edge bans 'impulsive decision making.' @sommy_forex says he passed both phases, then was failed under that rule and offered another challenge, not funding. He says no trades were identified. Which trades broke the rule, @EquityEdgeUK?
I need everyone to see what @EquityEdge just did to me.
I PASSED Phase 1 & Phase 2.
I made profit.
I followed drawdown.
Then AFTER I passed, they failed me with a rule I never broke.
This is the SECOND TIME. 🧵👇
FundedNext says payout issues get clear communication backed by proof. @jcfunded1 shared an email citing 'reading from a second screen' for a final ban and a 10% goodwill offer. What proves external assistance, @fnfutures?

Blue Guardian says keep 90% of the profits. @Mubasher185 says his first payout is in, sharing a $4,773.85 certificate dated 5 November. First receipt on the board. Same standard for payout two, @BlueGuardiancom?
Alhamdulilah
First payout received from Blue Guardian!
A great start! Thanks to Blue Guardian for processing the payout. Looking forward to more milestones together.
