• Some traders break the rules, acknowledge their mistakes, and then come to X portraying themselves as victims while publicly blaming the firm. • Criticism is fair when justified, but accountability matters too. You cannot break the rules and expect the consequences to disappear just because you post about it on Twitter. • Rules matter, and accountability should go both ways.@fundingpips @avikkfp @Khldfx
I’m officially done with @fundingpips. Passing a $100K account should be a milestone, not the moment when months-old issues suddenly come back to haunt you. Rules are important, but fairness, transparency, and timely enforcement matter too. Like buying many 5-10k accounts passing them getting master account but when you pass 100k account the investigation starts lol. After investing time, money, and effort into multiple accounts and receiving small payouts before, this experience has completely changed my trust in the firm. Traders deserve clarity from day one, not surprises at the finish line. My full experience on Trustpilot 👇 trustpilot.com/reviews/6ad89…

Respect to FundingPips for enforcing their rules. Breaking rules and then claiming victim status on X doesn’t change the facts.

🚨 FundingPips Closes Trader’s Account Just Before Payout Request • A trader, @SwaiSadi, claims that FundingPips permanently closed his account following a third-party KYC audit, citing allegedly altered or inauthentic documents. • What stands out is the timing: according to the trader, the account was closed just before he could request a payout — not after a payout request. • His account showed $746.78 in profit (+7.5%) on a $10K Master account. • FundingPips states that its decision is permanent and final. However, questions remain about the audit findings and the evidence behind the decision. • @fundingpips — Can you clarify what was found and why the account was closed at this stage? •Transparency matters, especially when a trader is in profit and a payout may be next. @Khldfx @fundingpips @avikkfp
This issue is serious we are not influencers,all they say is the decion was permanent and final no explanation nothing and they do this in my payout day💔this is red flag anyone who buy acc with them anything can happen don expect to much with them

🚨 5 Approved Payouts. Then a Permanent Ban Over KYC? • Another serious case involving @fundingpips. • According to the trader @LiquidityAhmed , they received 5 approved payouts before their $50K account was permanently closed over an alleged “altered KYC document.” • The trader denies altering any documents and has offered to undergo live video verification. The key questions are: • Why was the issue raised after five approved payouts? • Was the trader given a fair opportunity to verify their identity? • What evidence supports the alleged document alteration? • KYC compliance is important, but serious allegations deserve clear explanations and a fair review process. When a firm makes such an accusation, transparency matters. The trader has publicly challenged the decision. Will @fundingpips provide a clear explanation? @avikkfp @Khldfx #FundingPips #PropFirms #ThePropTruth
$50K Account Permanently Closed After 5 Approved Payouts @fundingpips permanently closed my account over an alleged “altered KYC document.” This is a false allegation. I completed the KYC myself using my own original documents. No editing, no third party, nothing was altered. I already received 5 approved payouts from them. Then I bought a new $50K account just 2 days before this email. The account was banned with no refund and only a vague compliance notice. If they are going to accuse someone’s identity documents of being fraudulent, the least they should do is offer a live video verification call before permanently closing the account and keeping the money. @Khldfx I’m ready to do a fair review on a video call anytime. Please look into this. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read and share this. I appreciate it. ❤️

🚨 SHARK FUNDED PAYOUT REJECTION RAISES QUESTIONS • Trader @Kaleem30005637 claims Shark Funded rejected his payout, reportedly citing “fake scan” as the reason. •The trader also shared a dashboard screenshot showing transactions marked “Rejected” and “Pending.” • However, the payout amount, account size, and full circumstances behind the rejection remain unclear. • The key question for @SharkFundedfirm: What exactly triggered the rejection? • If a payout is denied, traders deserve a specific explanation of the rule allegedly violated and the evidence supporting that decision. • A dashboard status alone doesn’t tell the full story. Clear communication from the firm is needed to understand what actually happened. @SharkFundedfirm @ibrahimshkh10 #SharkFunded #PropFirms #PayoutIssues

🚨 ATLAS FUNDED REJECTS $800 PAYOUT OVER ALLEGED COPY TRADING • A trader, @fvgflow_trades, claims Atlas Funded rejected his $800 payout and permanently disabled his $50K account over an alleged copy-trading violation. • The firm cited “COPY_TRADING_DETECTED” and “Confirmed Coordinated Trading Activity,” but the rejection note shown in the screenshot says “None.” • The trader disputes the conclusion, stating that he uses his own ICT + MSNR strategy and can explain every flagged trade. • The key question: What specific evidence supports the copy-trading allegation? •If a firm permanently disables an account and rejects a payout, traders deserve a clear explanation of the evidence behind that decision. • Rules must be enforced fairly — but allegations should also be backed by transparent, verifiable evidence. @atlasfunded @PipsCabal @LAntonioAF #PropFirms #PropTrading #Trading
Atlas Funded denied my $800 payout & permanently disabled my account over an alleged copy-trading violation. @atlasfunded @PipsCabal I’ve reviewed their evidence and believe the conclusion is incorrect. I use my own ICT + MSNR strategy and can explain every trade they flagged.

🚨 FUNDEDNEXT FACES QUESTIONS OVER $19,000+ IN UNPAID REWARDS • According to an Elite Trader @realasalya previously certified by FundedNext has reportedly been denied more than $19,000 in performance rewards over an alleged copy-trading violation. • The trader reportedly placed similar trades manually across personally owned accounts, without automation or third-party tools. The accounts reportedly remained active while the rewards were withheld. • The main concern is the evidence behind the decision. • How does FundedNext distinguish copy trading from independent traders using similar strategies? And what specific evidence supports the alleged violation? • Prop firms have the right to enforce their rules, but withholding thousands of dollars in rewards deserves a clear, case-specific explanation. When significant payouts are at stake, transparency matters. @FundedNext @Jayed_FN @galibsyed_ #FundedNext #PropTrading #PropFirms
AN OPEN LETTER TO FUNDEDNEXT Over $19,000 in Profits Denied — Is This Really How We Treat Traders? Dear @FundedNext, I'm writing this publicly as Rami Asalya, founder of Traders Cave, on behalf of my student, Sham Fares, who has been denied a Performance Reward of over $19,000. I have spent over 12 years in the financial markets, mentoring traders and helping people build the discipline, knowledge, and consistency required to succeed. And today, I find myself asking a very serious question: Since when did taking similar trades on accounts belonging to the same trader become a reason to deny someone the profits they worked so hard to generate? Sham did not use a trade copier. She did not use automated software. She manually executed her trades based on her own analysis and trading decisions. Yet FundedNext has decided to withhold more than $19,000, citing its copy trading policy. I understand that prop firms have rules. I respect the importance of compliance, and I always teach my students to respect the conditions of the firms they trade with. But there is a difference between enforcing rules and enforcing them in a way that raises serious questions about fairness. If a trader identifies an opportunity in the market and independently executes the same idea across accounts they personally own, does that automatically make them a copy trader? If manual execution is prohibited under certain circumstances, how clearly is that communicated to traders before they invest their time, money, and effort? And most importantly: Should a trader lose over $19,000 without receiving a detailed explanation of the specific trades and evidence supporting such a serious decision? We're talking about real people here. People who spend countless hours studying charts, managing risk, controlling their emotions, and working toward financial independence. For Sham, this isn't just a number on a dashboard. It's the result of dedication, discipline, and hard work. What concerns me most is the message decisions like this send to the trading community. Are prop firms supposed to encourage disciplined, profitable traders, or make them increasingly afraid that their profits could be denied after they've earned them? I am not asking FundedNext for special treatment. I am asking for transparency, accountability, and fairness. If Sham violated a clearly established rule, provide the specific evidence, explain exactly how the violation occurred, and demonstrate why withholding the entire reward is justified. But if the decision is based primarily on similarities between manually executed trades, then I believe the case deserves a serious and independent review. FundedNext has built its reputation on providing opportunities to traders worldwide. The question now is whether that commitment extends to protecting traders when a payout dispute arises. I respectfully call on @FundedNext to reconsider Sham Fares' case, provide a transparent explanation, and allow a senior compliance review of the decision to withhold her $19,000+ Performance Reward. To the trading community, I want to ask one question: Do you believe a trader should lose $19,000+ simply because they manually executed similar trades across their own accounts? I'd genuinely like to hear your thoughts. Rami Asalya Founder, Traders Cave 12+ Years in Financial Markets #FundedNext #PropTrading #TradingCommunity #TraderRights #Transparency
