I have been trading a 100k funded account with this firm since June. I finally transformed my trading, kept strict risk management ($500 daily target/loss), and recovered from drawdown four separate times. I executed 157 manual trades independently. And their automated sytem flagged 29 trades for alleged copy trading. This means that nerly 82% of all my trading activity was proven to be 100% unique,organic and executed professionally by me alone, it makes absolutely no sense that i would independently trade 82% of the account with strict management, only use ‘help’ or coordinate for the remaining trades. Right before my very first major payout, they breached my account and rejected my payout, falsely accusing me of "coordinated group trading/copy trading." I trade strictly using the Smart Money Concepts (SMC) strategy. Because SMC is a highly precise, rule-based mechanical strategy, thousands of traders entry at the exact same institutional zones simultaneously, especially on Fridays. Their automated risk system is a cheap robot that creates massive false positives. While I understand some traders abuse the rules and use forbidden commercial bots, honest and serious manual traders who put in blood, sweat, and tears are the ones being victimized here. The compliance team completely refuses to perform a human manual review or reply to you’re proof. If you still decide to take a risk and buy a challenge here, MAKE SURE TO PAY WITH A CREDIT CARD. Their automated system will likely flag you when you earn a payout, but a credit card allows you to easily file a chargeback dispute at your bank for breach of contract. I have already initiated my full chargeback. Avoid this firm if you are a serious trader! Updated revieuw after the reply from goatfunded To clarify for the public and your team: the official violation email and the attached PDF report I received from your Risk Team ONLY mentioned automated copy-trading allegations regarding 29 trades. No other rules were breached. My daily drawdown, max drawdown, and consistency were completely perfect. If there were indeed 'multiple factors' or other violations as you claim here, they would have been explicitly listed in that official notice. This is not the case. I am deeply disappointed and angered by how this is being handled. I fought through four separate drawdowns to build this account and earn a payout of nearly $4,000. This is the direct result of my own intense, personal hard work,cannot and will not just let this go. A $4,000 payout is a significant amount of money to fight for.
