I gave this review so that I can warn other forex traders to be aware of this scam prop firm called Signal Capital LLC because I would like other forex traders to be able to get paid their commission for their trading activities. Update: Hello Signal Capital Support, I’m writing regarding my unpaid commission of $1,484 from my trading period with Signal Capital LLC (August 2023 – January 2024). I’ve reviewed your public response on Trustpilot, and I’d like to clarify several important points calmly and professionally. 1)Trading duration: I traded for approximately five months, which exceeds the stated 90-day requirement. Trading activity continued for a prolonged period after the drawdown event, and profits were generated and retained by Signal Capital. 2)Drawdown approval and company representation: The increased drawdown occurred gradually and was explicitly approved by your risk manager during live trading. A risk manager is an authorized representative of the company acting within operational scope. Decisions made by such personnel bind the company. If the drawdown rules were truly “hard-coded,” the account would have been automatically stopped or closed once limits were exceeded. That never happened. Trading continued for months afterward, which confirms the rules were operationally discretionary, not automatically enforced. 3)Selective enforcement after profits: Signal Capital allowed trading to continue, retained all profits, and only afterward invoked drawdown rules to deny my commission. This is selective enforcement. The firm accepted the benefit of the trading but rejected the agreed compensation. 4)Prior payment confirms commission relationship: The $35 payment made in September 2023 confirms a profit-sharing relationship existed. This was not a volunteer arrangement.
Response from Signal Capital LLCJan 30, 2026
Hello, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take all trader concerns seriously, but we must clarify the circumstances regarding your account and the denied commission. At Signal Capital, all traders agree to a strict set of Risk Management protocols and Terms of Service before being granted access to a funded account. Upon an internal audit of your trading activity between August-November 2023, the following discrepancies were identified: Risk Management Violations: While you mention a 21% drawdown, our records indicate that your account hit a peak drawdown of 50% during the trading period. This is a significant breach of our maximum drawdown limits. Prop trading requires strict adherence to risk parameters to protect firm capital. Unauthorized Trading Activity: You mentioned receiving 'permission' from a manager to trade above drawdown rules. Our official policy states that all risk rules are hard-coded and cannot be overridden by verbal or informal chat permissions. Traders are expected to follow the dashboard rules at all times. Account Resignation: You chose to close your positions and resign before the mandatory 90-day evaluation and profit-consistency check were fully finalized according to our compliance standards. Commission Structure: The $35 payment made in September was a performance bonus and does not constitute a waiver of the final payout requirements. Because the account violated the maximum drawdown rule (50%), the account was technically disqualified, making the remaining profits ineligible for a split.
