Lightning Challenge is a Scam
The lightning challenge is a means to extort from traders, i did meet the profit target twice and i was told about the consistency rule which was not displayed on the information page for the challenge. I am really disappointed with FTUK.
Response from FTUKJan 21, 2026
Dear Customer,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and we are genuinely concerned our new Lightning Challenge didn't meet your expectations.
Regarding the consistency scoring for the program, it is clearly detailed in the FAQs section for that program: https://faq.ftuk.com/en/articles/13251699-what-is-the-lightning-challenge
Many of our clients have found consistency scoring to be beneficial to their trader development, however we also understand not everyone wants to operate an account with this form of risk management attached. So we do offer a range of other accounts that don't have consistency scoring which we'd be happy to explain to you in more detail.
It's not been possible to locate your details on our system so we have reached out to you privately here on Trustpilot. If you can supply your contact details the support team will be in touch with you as soon as is possible.
Kind regards

Dear Himani,
We’re sorry to hear that you’re unhappy with your experience, but we do need to clarify a few important points for accuracy.
First, we can confirm that you did not contact our support team by email at any point to report platform issues or request assistance other than one enquiry with help to setup your account. We are always happy to investigate and help resolve problems when traders reach out directly.
Second, after reviewing your account activity:
On Day 1, your account made a profit of $1,503.00
On Day 2, the account incurred a loss of -$5,062.50
This loss resulted in the account reaching the maximum drawdown limit, which led to the account being closed in line with the program rules and conditions.
Regarding the platform:
Our futures platform supports standard risk management tools, and thousands of traders use it daily without issue. A take-profit (TP) not being set is not a system limitation and can be managed via order tickets, brackets, or presets depending on the setup. If there was confusion around configuration, this is exactly the type of issue our support team can help with had we been contacted.
We welcome all feedback, but in this case the account closure was not due to a platform failure, and instead reflects a lack of risk management that caused the drawdown limit to be exceeded.
All rules are clearly outlined before purchase and are applied consistently to every trader.
If you’d still like assistance reviewing the platform or understanding the rules better, our support team remains available via email via [email protected].
Kind regards,
FTUK
Additionally, for full transparency, I was informed privately that a refund would be issued only if my Trustpilot review was removed first. I am willing to update or amend my review after any refund is successfully processed, but I cannot remove factual feedback in advance without resolution.
I have full email correspondence and evidence available and can provide screenshots to Trustpilot upon request.

FTUK's Trading Trap
My name is King, and I am a trader from Asia. On June 16th, I opened two instant trading accounts with this company: a $50,000 account and a $100,000 account. After two months of diligent and careful trading, by August 25th, the $50,000 account had earned $2,700, and the $100,000 account had earned $9,803, meeting the 20% consistency requirement. I immediately requested a withdrawal of $4,901.50, but they refused it a day later and simultaneously closed both my $50,000 and $100,000 accounts. Their reason for refusing payment was that I was copying trades. However, the trading products in my two accounts were different in terms of time, quantity, and price. How can this be considered copying trades? After making money with this company, they fabricate unreasonable rules to accuse you of violations and refuse to pay traders. I swear by God that everything I've said is true. This company is a trading trap and a scam. Please, all traders, do not fall for it!
Response from FTUKNov 12, 2025
Dear King,
We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. After carefully reviewing your accounts, our compliance team identified clear instances of copy trading, placing the same or nearly identical trades across multiple funded accounts at the same time and in the same direction which you had already agreed happened on your account.
Following our review, both of your accounts were closed due to this violation. However, despite the breach, we still offered you a free retake account for the $100,000 program as a goodwill gesture and opportunity to continue trading with us under the proper guidelines. We can see that you had reached the maximum drawdown limit on your new account.
We understand this may be disappointing, but we apply the same rules equally to all traders to maintain integrity and fairness within our programs. Our trading rules are clearly stated and agreed to by every trader upon joining the program, and they are applied consistently across all accounts to maintain an equal and secure trading environment.
Kind regards,
FTUK
Payout Denied ($1850) & Arbitrary Rule Change—FTUK's Trading Model Exposed
I am writing this review to warn others about my experience with FTUK, which appears designed to collect fees while systematically denying earned profits using non-transparent, subjective rules.
I purchased the $1,499 Instant Funding Account based on their advertised rules, which include a maximum daily drawdown of 5%. After successfully trading the account and generating a total profit of $1,850, I requested my first profit share payout.
The payout request was unilaterally denied by FTUK. The stated reason was a violation of a "new imposed rule"—specifically, they retroactively enforced a 2% daily drawdown limit. This limit directly contradicts the 5% drawdown clearly advertised when I opened the account. There was no transparent communication or agreement regarding this change prior to my successful trading and payout request.
This pattern suggests that FTUK is operating under a model of bait-and-switch, providing a demo account in the guise of a real one with arbitrary, post-trade rule enforcement used specifically to withhold legitimate earnings. My actual investment of $1499 is now effectively lost, and the $1850 profit share has been unjustly denied.
Do not waste your capital or valuable time on FTUK. The rules are not consistent, and legitimate profits are not honored.

Dear Jai,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We have reviewed your accounts thoroughly and would like to clarify a few important points.
Your accounts were assessed in detail, and our findings show that they were in violation of our risk management rule, specifically the guideline stating that traders are not permitted to risk more than 2% of their account’s starting balance at any one time. This is separate from the daily drawdown limit and applies to all Instant Funding accounts. In your case, several trades exceeded this 2% risk limit, which constitutes a breach of our trading rules and not the 5% daily drawdown limit which you are mentioning in your review.
Additionally, upon review, we identified several instances of copy trading between your accounts, which is not permitted under our policy. Traders must diversify their risk across multiple accounts rather than placing the same trades in the same direction at the same time. You can find this rule explained on our website and in our communication to you and they are the same rules which you agreed to when you purchased this funding program.
We understand your perspective and value the effort you’ve put into your trading. However, as a prop firm, we are required to apply our rules consistently and responsibly across all traders.
That said, we have provided a new retake account for the $100,000 Instant Funding program which you have agreed to and started trading on.
Kind regards,
FTUK
