Liars and thiefs, I made 3000$ profit , without any breach , they suspended my account with no reason.
Response from FTUKAug 11, 2025
Dear Shahryar,
We understand that having your account suspended can be frustrating, but your statement is not accurate. After a thorough and detailed investigation, our accounts team confirmed that your trading activity involved the use of a prohibited Expert Advisor (EA) employing grid, hedge, and martingale strategies. These strategies are strictly forbidden under our trading rules and the terms you agreed to when opening your account.
Our trading policies are designed to protect the integrity of our platform and to ensure a fair, transparent environment for all traders. The decision to suspend your account was based solely on a clear breach of these rules not on the profit you made. Whether an account is in profit or loss, the same rules apply equally to all participants. Despite this violation we have refunded your sign up fee.
If you need any further support, we invite you to contact our support team directly.
Kind regards,
FTUK

Their discord staff was incredibly rude when I asked for help. I was never rude, it wasn't prompted. They won't help you, and won't reply to emails if you've got questions

Thank you for your feedback. We understand your frustration, but we’d like to clarify that your account was suspended due to a clear violation of our published competition rules. All participants are required to meet specific eligibility criteria for the competition which you had signed up for. Unfortunately, your entry did not meet the required conditions, which was communicated to you upon review.

Dear Tayo,
Thank you for your feedback. We understand your frustration and truly regret any inconvenience caused.
As mentioned in our communication to you, for compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, we cannot accept payments made by third parties. This is a standard industry practice to protect both our traders and our platform. Since the payment was made using someone else’s card, we were unable to proceed and have already issued a full refund to the original payment method.
You're more than welcome to sign up again in the future using your own payment method. We appreciate your understanding and wish you all the best in your trading journey.
Kind regards,
FTUK

Why I Don’t Recommend FTUK Due to Unacceptable Bid-Ask Spreads
I cannot recommend FTUK as a proprietary trading firm, primarily due to their outrageously large bid-ask spreads, which severely undermine the trading experience and raise serious concerns about transparency and fairness. For example, trading GBPUSD.e—a major forex pair—on their platform consistently shows spreads as high as 49 pips, as observed on April 18, 2025. This is astronomical compared to industry standards, where GBPUSD typically has spreads of 0.5–2 pips with reputable brokers, even during volatile periods.
Such wide spreads make profitable trading nearly impossible, especially for short-term strategies like scalping. For a 0.1 lot trade, a 49-pip spread translates to an immediate $49 loss just to enter a position, which is a massive hurdle for any trader, funded or not. This issue appears systemic across their platform, as it persists regardless of market conditions or trading hours, even during high-liquidity sessions like the London-New York overlap. For a prop firm that markets itself as beginner-friendly with instant funding and flexible rules, this feels like a deceptive practice designed to stack the odds against traders.
Why do I consider this misleading? FTUK does not adequately disclose or justify these spreads upfront. Their website and promotional materials emphasize profit splits up to 80% and account scaling, but they fail to highlight that their spreads—potentially due to their liquidity provider or instrument pricing (e.g., GBPUSD.e as a CFD)—are so wide that profitability is a pipe dream for most. This lack of transparency smells like a bait-and-switch: traders are lured in with promises of funded accounts, only to face trading costs that make success unattainable. While FTUK may not be an outright scam, these spreads create an environment where traders are set up to fail, which feels manipulative and undermines trust.
Other prop firms, like The Funded Trader or brokers like IC Markets, offer spreads closer to market norms (1–3 pips for major pairs), proving that tight spreads are achievable even in funded trading models. FTUK’s failure to compete here, combined with their vague communication about pricing, makes them a poor choice. I’d advise traders to avoid FTUK until they address these predatory spreads and prioritize transparency. Save your money and look for a firm that doesn’t burden you with insurmountable trading costs from the start.

Thankyou for taking the time to write your review Joseph. Unfortunately we've not been able to identify you on the system so we've reached out to you privately here on Trustpilot. If you could supply your contact details the team will be in touch to discuss any confusion over the pricing of our markets.
Having checked our market for GBPUSD across our 3 main core platforms our spread ranges from 1.2 PIPs to 3.2 PIPs - not 49 pips.
DXTrades
GBPUSD BID: 1.32746 OFFER: 1.32768 Spread: 0.00022 = 2.2 PIPs
TradeLocker
GBPUSD BID: 1.32724 OFFER: 1.32736 Spread: 0.00012 = 1.2 PIPs
MatchTrader
GBPUSD BID: 1.32725 OFFER: 1.32757 Spread: 0.00032 = 3.2 PIPs
Often traders can misunderstand the fifth decimal place in a quote, mistaking that to be the value of a pip when, in fact, that represents one 10th of a single PIP. This might mean they think 32 means 32 PIPs where it actually represents 3.2 PIP's
Once again, if you can get intouch with the team we will do everything we can to assist you.

DO NOT TRADE WITH FTUK
Ftuk keep flagging my Reviews. Haha. They know that they messed up not paying funds for so many people on here. I have told a lot of people about them now, how they refused to give me my payout and gave me false reasons for their behavior. I have screenshots of everything. DO NOT TRADE WITH FTUK. If you made anymore than £5k, they will find an excuse to not pay it. Funny thing is, they will ignore you if you try to ask too many questions. Real experience
