I was about to buy a package but noticing 21% of negatives reviews has given me a clear understanding of FTUK, I'll stay away.

Just received my first payout!
I had a very good experience with FTUK so far, and I just received my first payout! I was worried after reading the negative reviews, but I followed all the rules and had no problems at all. Also, it was a very fast process as I requested my payout 48h ago, and the money is in my account already :) I’m honestly very happy with it and looking forward to continue trading with them.

Congratulations on your payout LT! That's great to hear your story of success. The rules and procedures we have are there for good reasons and when traders just follow the right path the dots connect together very easily. It's a smooth process! Thanks for taking the time to comment and good luck with your trading.

The stop loss trap
I’m gonna be short describing my experience with this company. I got the instant funding $100,000.
To start you have to gain the right to get those funds trading with a $25,000 account where you have to achieve 10% which I did twice because they stated I was trading without using stop loss (which is alright they implement the stop loss policy, that makes you a better trader)
Once I got the $100,000 it took me a little to achieve the 10% and in this time in all this time I did not request any payout because I wanted to double the account.
And used stop loss all the time except for a couple of times that I clicked by accident because I trade from my phone but rapidly I cut those trades and you can see that the lots were minimal 0.01
Basically, they denied my $10,000 and kicked me out of the platform. When I asked for a review on my trades, basically they said they were not going to entertain my request. Rude.
So, to finalize, this company do not want successful traders, they just want to rip you off and keep you hard earn money.

Dear Israel,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. Our risk team carefully evaluates each trader’s account to ensure adherence to responsible trading practices.
Upon review, we can confirm that you successfully scaled to a funded Level 1 account on October 17th and initially traded in compliance with our rules at the entry level. However, at this funded stage, significant concerns arose regarding your trading performance, as there were clear repeated violations of our trading rules. Due to the elevated risk profile we made the decision to close the account.
It’s important to emphasize that FTUK is not obligated to pay traders who excessively breach the trading rules and terms they agreed to. Nonetheless, in the interest of fairness, we provided you with compensation of $1,008, which was processed via our RiseWorks payment platform on December 30th, 2024.
We remain committed to resolving issues and supporting our traders. However, we expect all funded traders to adhere to the agreed-upon risk management and trading conditions. Should you have any further concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected].
We wish you the very best in your future trading endeavors.
Kind regards,
FTUK

2% Per Trade DD Causes a Challenge Retake
When I passed 2 steps challenges. They denied my live account and requested a phase 2 challenge retake saying:
"The rules that you've violated is the risk management rule with trades losing more than 2% of your account starting balance. "Traders are not permitted to risk more than 2% of their account starting balance".
They requested me to do a retake of phase 2 challenge. For anyone who plan to participate FTUK please read their rules on their QnA page
This is an unpleasant experience for me.
Response from FTUKJan 14, 2025
Dear Jiawei,
Thank you for your feedback.
We understand your frustration, but we would like to clarify the situation. During your evaluation, you repeatedly violated our trading rules which we have shown you examples of, specifically the risk management rule, which states: "Traders are not permitted to risk more than 2% of their account starting balance on a single trade." This rule is clearly outlined on rules page and is a fundamental part of our evaluation process to ensure traders can responsibly manage capital at live account levels.
Rather than denying you the opportunity to continue with us, we offered you the chance to retake the Phase 2 challenge, allowing you to demonstrate adherence to the rules and continue working toward a live account. This approach reflects our commitment to supporting traders who show potential while ensuring that all funded accounts are managed responsibly.
We encourage all traders to thoroughly review our rules before participating to ensure a clear understanding of the requirements. While we regret that this has been an unpleasant experience for you, these rules are essential to maintaining the integrity of our program and protecting our capital.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our support team or book a meeting with us. We remain committed to helping traders succeed within the framework of our trading guidelines.
Kind regards,
FTUK

Here’s the updated comment in English:
To the FTUK Support Team,
I have attempted to contact your support team multiple times to inquire about your services, but unfortunately, I have not received any response so far. This raises concerns about the quality of your customer service.
Additionally, I noticed that the website is not user-friendly and does not provide clear or easily accessible information. Could you also clarify whether your company supports clients from Morocco or if there are any restrictions in place?
I hope you can improve the customer experience and respond to inquiries more promptly.
Thank you.

This company is a total joke
This company is a total joke. They will do whatever they can to avoid making a payout to you. First they will send you a letter saying your account has been breached (when it hasn’t) and offer you a coupon to sign up again at a discount. Then after you call them out they say oh sorry our mistake and reinstate your account. Then you’re accused of copy trading (no idea how) and they offer zero proof of it and terminate your account when it’s time to be paid. They’re an absolute scam, stay away. If you make money, they will NOT pay you
Edit 12/30/24
I have reached out to you and you won’t respond. Again you accuse people of things, close their account and offer zero proof. I can prove everything is legit on my side, there is no way for you to do so.

I just register an acc & when i want to…
I just register an acc & when i want to verify my identity but got rejected 'its say Suspected document tampering' But this week I registered two funding websites with the same Identity/data & was accepted and when i contact the support they said i dont need verification before buying any challenge lol
In other prop firms it's not like that, what if there is a problem when I want to withdraw & it is rejected at that time? Wierd
Response from FTUKDec 13, 2024
Dear Ahmad,
Thank you for your feedback. We understand your concerns regarding the verification process. In your case, our third-party system flagged your document for suspected tampering. However, once you contacted our support team, we promptly reviewed your document manually and verified your account to ensure you could proceed without further issues. Please also note that KYC verification is only required before a pay-out and not during the sign up process.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Kind regards,
FTUK

They don't actually want good traders. They want traders that will eventually fail.
They appear like a trustable company especially when you talk to their support. After speaking to their support SEVERAL times to clarify guidelines I took on one of their 2 step evaluations. I passed both steps very easily and then they rejected me with a vague response saying I violated prohibited trading practices. So let's be clear here. First I talked to them several times before trading. Then there is phase 2. When you complete phase 1 they look at results then approve phase 2 attempt. Meaning phase 2 was APPROVED for attempting. They would not reply and give a clear reason why they rejected me. They don't actually want safe traders that will have results. Like all the prop firms I've seen so far they want someone that will eventually fail. The only reason I am even trying a prop firm is I am unable to trade BTC properly from where I am. So if you can trade somewhere proper that is regulated - do that instead. Don't waste your time like I did. They don't actually want winners as advertised.
P.S. I have all of the correspondence and screen shots of all dialogues. Furthermore do not assume because they reply politely here they are actually a valid functioning company. This is their seller - customer service. When it comes time for things that matter they will lie then fail you. Check other reviews that are negative they all have the similar things in common.
EDIT: Since FTUK replied with their usual polite BS customer service I am replying in kind. I spent 2 weeks with their rules and going back and forth with multiple customer service reps before starting the evaluation.
This is straight from their site's FAQ:
"Can I use EAs and trading bots?
Trading bots and Expert Advisors (EA) are currently permitted at FTUK.
However, they must not be used to trade in certain ways including tick scalping or martingale."
FTUK please learn your own rules and stick by them. You said I used a prohibited bot but it's not a bot and it's not in the public realm in any way so it can't actually be prohibited. Before you decide to say it was either of the other 2 actual prohibited methods please note that 34 seconds to 47 minutes trades are not tick scalping so impossible for that to be the reason. Trades were only placed in 1 direction in 1 market therefore martingale is also out the window. Please learn your own rules and don't waste people's time.
These guys even went the extra step in disabling my login to the FTUK account AFTERI posted this review - not before. Funny.
Instead of replying to my email requesting what my prohibited practices(plural) were, you ignored me after a generic copy paste rejection email. You are replying here where you shouldn't be if you had proper customer service. You reply here because it hurts your pockets from new people giving you evaluation money which is all that you are concerned about.
I've never written one of these before. I literally made this account to expose your nonsense. I hope it helps even 1 person stay away from you.

Dear Zak,
Thank you for sharing your experience. While we appreciate all feedback, we must clarify certain points regarding your account and the evaluation process.
Our investigation found that you had violated our Terms of Service by using a prohibited trading bot across your evaluation process. This type of automated trading is explicitly against the rules and not one that we can scale to trade more capital. Despite this significant breach, we have still refunded your sign-up fee as a gesture of goodwill.
We pride ourselves on supporting responsible and compliant traders, including those who pass evaluations without prohibited uses. While we understand your disappointment, our strict adherence to the rules is important.
Your feedback is important to us, and we are always working to enhance our services. We wish you success in your future trading endeavours.
Kind regards,
FTUK
