We understand that frustration can lead to strong words, but calling Pay From Profits the “worst mistake” does not explain what actually happened. PFP is not for everyone, but it is also one of the most trader-supportive models in the market. It allows traders to access funding with a much lower upfront cost, and depending on the risk category, even the funded fee can be reduced through profits instead of being paid fully from your own pocket. The A-book rule structure also does not “suck.” It exists because FundedHive runs a real-capital-backed model. Without that protection layer, we would be just another unsustainable firm pretending to offer funding until payout pressure comes. Every trader knows demo conditions are easier than real-capital conditions. That is exactly why funded trading has stricter structure. It is not there to sabotage traders. It is there to keep the model sustainable and to keep payouts real. All of these rules are explained clearly across our website, FAQ, Terms and Conditions, Discord, landing pages, and support system. So if the model did not fit your style, that is fair. But that is very different from saying the model itself is bad.

We did read it. But this review is presenting disagreement with a real-capital model as if it were proof of deception, and that is simply not true. First, yes, funded trading is harder than challenge trading. Every trader knows trading on demo-style conditions is easier than trading with real capital. Once real capital is involved, risk architecture becomes stricter. That is not sabotage. That is reality. Second, the A-Book / B-Book structure is not hidden and it is not there to “steal” profits. It exists because FundedHive runs a real-capital-backed model. Without capital protection, we would end up like many firms in this industry that look easy at first, then rely on payout denials, hidden restrictions, or collapse under payout pressure. We chose sustainability instead. Third, the pricing and Pay From Profits structure are not hidden either. FundedHive’s website publicly shows low access-fee entry points for PFP challenges, states that funded accounts can start from $49 depending on the risk category, and explains that the funded fee depends on the risk management category assigned from trading performance. The site also states that lower-risk categories can pay more from profits, while high risk is handled differently. That means the point of the model is the opposite of what you are claiming. It is specifically designed to reduce the upfront barrier and make funding cheaper, while adjusting the funded fee based on actual trading behavior. Even if a trader goes through multiple attempts before reaching the desired lower-risk category, the entry path can still be far cheaper than paying full traditional challenge pricing from day one. That is exactly why this model exists. Fourth, the broader rules are also public. FundedHive’s site openly lists dynamic leverage, funded weekend-holding restrictions, max daily loss, max loss per trade, and profit split information. The FAQ also says traders can contact support if they need clarification. So the idea that all of this is somehow hidden until after passing is not accurate. Finally, the biggest thing your review ignores is results. FundedHive has never denied a payout, payouts are verifiable on-chain, and Payout Junction publicly tracks FundedHive among prop-firm payout data. So no, this is not proof that the model is rigged. It is proof that a real-capital model feels harder than a challenge environment. Those are not the same thing. Thomas CEO

Thank you for the fair feedback. We appreciate that your issue is not with FundedHive itself, but with the platform environment currently available. There is a very specific reason why cTrader is our only active option at the moment. FundedHive is not running on a partially manual backend like most firms in this industry. We built a fully automated system from A to Z, including account issuing, rule execution, rule changes, payout verification, and automated payouts. At this stage, that level of deep integration was only possible for us with cTrader. On top of that, because FundedHive operates a real A-book model through our licensed brokerage environment, the platform structure also has to match how real exposure is handled behind the scenes. That is one of the reasons the current setup is built the way it is. We fully understand that some traders prefer other platform styles, especially if they are used to different order handling or trade management methods. That feedback is fair. The good news is that we already started integrating MT5, and this is planned for release this year, as we have announced multiple times in our Discord announcements. So while we understand the frustration with cTrader as a personal preference, it is not there by accident. It was the platform that allowed us to build the most advanced automated and transparent prop infrastructure first.

Thank you for the detailed feedback. First, we want to make one thing clear: if support refunded part of the slippage, that already proves this was not a case of denial, avoidance, or pretending nothing happened. It means the case was reviewed under the slippage policy and handled according to the protection framework that exists on challenge accounts. The key issue here is where the misunderstanding begins. Real slippage and breach logic are not the same thing. In a real market environment, especially in volatile conditions, execution can move beyond the intended stop because orders are filled where actual liquidity is available. That is exactly why slippage protection exists in the first place. But slippage protection does not mean that every trade outcome or every account-state consequence can simply be erased afterward as if the market event never happened. In your own example, support acknowledged the slippage amount that qualified under the policy and refunded that portion. That is a protection mechanism. But the account breach logic is still rule-based and automated. It cannot be manually rewritten every time a trader is unhappy with the resulting account state, otherwise the entire system would stop being consistent and fair for everyone. It is also important to understand that the market does not care whether a breach happened by a wide margin or by a narrow margin. If the account crosses the defined threshold, the system registers it. That is exactly what automated rule enforcement means. You also mention that your slippage buffer was already built into the trade. That is fair, but in extreme volatility even a pre-planned buffer may still not fully absorb real execution movement. That is not ideal, but it is part of real market behavior, especially in instruments and moments where multiple liquidity levels are consumed quickly. What FundedHive does differently is that we do not hide this behind fake fills or manipulated charts. We openly acknowledge slippage, we built a slippage protection framework, and we reviewed your case under that policy. That is already far more transparent than how most firms in this industry operate. So the honest conclusion is this: your frustration is understandable, but this is not proof of unfair handling. It is proof that real execution and automated risk enforcement can create outcomes that traders do not like, especially near risk thresholds. FundedHive was built around real execution, real transparency, and rule consistency. That means when protection applies, it is applied. And when the system threshold is breached, it is enforced. That consistency is exactly why the model remains sustainable and credible long term.

Thank you for the fair and honest feedback. We are glad your experience so far has been positive and that you found the rules straightforward. That matters to us a lot, because FundedHive was built around clarity, automation, and transparency. Regarding your question about the medium risk funded fee structure, yes, in that model part of the funded fee is paid upfront and the remaining part is covered from profits. That does not mean your profits are being randomly withheld. It simply means the remaining funded fee portion is settled according to the published model before the relevant payout amount is fully unlocked. So the important distinction is this: it is not “withholding” in the negative sense. It is the normal Pay From Profits structure working exactly as explained. Once your funded account is live and you are eligible for payout under the rules, the system handles it according to the account model. FundedHive has never denied a payout, and payouts are verifiable on-chain, which is exactly why we built this structure differently from the rest of the industry. In simple terms, your daily payout eligibility is tied to the account model and the remaining funded fee mechanics, not to any discretionary decision from our side. That is the benefit of automation. The system applies the rules consistently, not emotionally. So your uncertainty is understandable, but the answer is no, this is not about us holding profits back unfairly. It is just the funded fee settlement logic of the medium risk Pay From Profits model working as designed. Once that structure is satisfied, payouts continue according to the normal eligibility conditions. We appreciate the thoughtful review, and we hope your next update is after a successful Phase 2 pass and payout.

This is simply false, and calling it a scam does not change the math or the rules you agreed to. First, the Pay From Profits structure is not hidden. It is clearly explained before purchase across the website, landing pages, FAQ, Terms and Conditions, Discord, and support system. Second, if you forgot to place a stop loss on a trade, that is not a company trick. That is a rule violation. The system then assigns the account according to the actual risk style shown by your trading behavior. That is exactly why the funded fee can change. Lower-risk behavior gets more favorable funding terms. Higher-risk behavior gets less favorable terms. That is the whole point of the model. Third, the claim that we “take another $63 from profits” as if it were some secret extra charge is also misleading. The funded fee structure is part upfront and part from profits depending on the risk category. That is not a second hidden charge. That is the published model working exactly as designed. And this is the part many people ignore: even with multiple attempts, this model can still be far cheaper than traditional challenge models. Even if you end up in the wrong risk category several times before reaching the desired one, you are often still spending far less than you would with regular full-price challenges elsewhere. So no, this is not a scam. This is a skill-based funding model where the funded fee depends on the risk profile you actually demonstrate. If your trading behavior changes the category, the funding terms change with it. That is not deception. That is the structure. You are free not to like the model, but misrepresenting a clearly explained risk-based fee system as fraud is simply not honest.

We understand that the A-book / B-book structure is not for everyone, but calling it the “worst experience” does not change why it exists. Funded trading with real capital will always be harder than trading a challenge or demo-style environment. Every serious trader knows that. Once real capital is involved, real risk architecture becomes necessary. That is exactly why the A-book / B-book system exists. It is not there to sabotage traders. It is there to protect real allocated capital and keep the model sustainable long term. Without that, we would be no different from the many firms that look easy at first, then end up relying on payout denials, hidden traps, or failing when traders become profitable. FundedHive chose the harder but more honest route. We have never denied a payout, all payouts are verifiable on-chain, and even though we are only around one year old, we are already paying out more to traders than many much bigger and older firms. You can see that publicly here: https://payoutjunction.com/firm/fundedhive That is exactly why we believe the A-book model is better, not only for the firm, but for traders as well. A model that can actually sustain payouts, avoid denials, and keep operating transparently is far better than a softer-looking system that eventually turns against profitable traders. So if the model does not fit your trading style, that is fair. But that is very different from saying the system is bad. It is simply a real-capital model with real rules.
