The company was a good company. Answered questions promptly good platform which had protections set up from keeping traders from making stupid mistakes. But they were sold to Topstep which is really a bad company to trade with.

Super nice platform for serious traders and very nice features that keep one align there is still some stuff that will make it a bit more user-friendly

I signed for the biggest Eval account with 6K drawdown with 12 mini or 120 micro contracts. Once passed and moved to Live, I was limited to only 3500 drawdown and 10 micro with daily loss limit of $500. I did not see anywhere that will put this kind of limit once moved to Live. I would of given them 5 stars if they trading parameter were the same as in the Eval. I've been in Live for 4 months and still have my account. I've only taken one payout of $2000 and payout was processed and paid by Rise within 1 day.

Hey, thanks for the review and glad to hear you got the payout fast. Regarding the live account, we're transparent about the fact that live brokerage accounts require stricter risk management since we're putting real money on the line from the moment you go live. We need to help you protect your account. I understand where you're coming from, but traders who don't use strict risk limits end up blowing their accounts. The reason we add tighter risk limits in the live brokerage is because we're on your side, and we both want the same thing... consistent, long-term profits. Hope that makes sense, and thanks for trading with us.

I had my doubts at first. but now I'm having a good experience. Learning to trade on a new platform is a daunting task. My advice to anyone who's interested, would be to subscribe to the practice account first just to learn the platform. I like the way the platform allows the user to document the setups and strategies. It keeps the trader accountable for thier actions. I only traded for two days but learned so much. Things I need to do is figure out how to plot the Globex open as a horizontal line and the previous days highs and lows for my trading strategies. Over the weekend when the markets are closed, I'll try and learn more about the platform.

My name is Dzabatou ecko prince nehemie (account: TFDRSB_602X4VH) this firm should get a 5 stars anytime but today something inaccpetable happen, i recently passed my assesment and got move to a sim brokerage account the moment i got the account I locked the account multiple time so I m not able to trade it for the day I have done every check possible to make sure that the account was lock for the day as most of my account are sync together i even chech rt trader and try to trigger trade before my trading session and the account was in fact locked fast forward litteraly 10 min after my last check locking the account once more when trading I come to find out that the account unlocked out of no where right it the middle of the trading session something that never ever happenned before unfortunately i came to find out the problem that never ever happen ever on one of my very last position of the day being i full drawdown, i went to support to ask for help and all i get is you should have better monitor while i have done everything on the book as i always do and for the first time it didnt work fast forward had the issue putted on me plus when I past the account I made sure to get in contact with support to change my account risk (lower them) so when checking the account i come to find out that even my risk limit were not respected so basically nothing worked as it was suppose to as when I was on the assesment period I never face those type of issue ever , I feel like I just got put to the side and the firm didnt take accountability of the issue that happen which is really bad for a firm that really push a narrative about risk management and everything about risk. I will not put a 2-3 stars just cause Im piss because this firm is really one of the best when it come to trader evolution but I just felt like sh.. the way they handle my situation and have a account with -50% of initial equity while it should have never happened . ps: I would be glad to change this comment because this in fact doesn't represent the firm well , if my issue get resolved cause it is in no way my reponsability especialy on a sim account. but still one of the best prop firm I found I can't wait to be counted as one of their trader live update 2 days later I just lost the account, really bad experiance once on the sim brokerage........( its hard to make up from a 50% drawndown when you systeme can only survive a 15-25% drawndown I had no help with my issue till today nothing)

Thank you for the feedback!

So far so good, seems to be a really good prop. I like the fact that it starts you at a zero balance and you have to reach your target or profitability without reaching your breach target. I also like the fact that you can set certain parameters within the account you choose, you can't set everything but the things you can set you can set it to your liking. I'm sure this could possibly be a five-star prop but I'm only giving it four stars because I haven't really done much or gotten much out of it as of yet (that's not their fault) since I've only been trading out of the few accounts I have for about a week. I do believe once you look into their accounts you'll be pleasantly pleased with the ability to set it the way you want, give them a try.

Being focused around working to live rather than gambling in eval is refreshing! I think what made me pull the trigger was the extensive customization available for my account. (Drawdown type, scaling etc) The platform itself is superior to many I've seen and caters to responsible trade journaling which I greatly appreciate. On the downside the projectX integration (TFDX) has been very buggy. Timezone preferences and timeframe favourites are not being saved, indicators and drawings removed.. This is not mentioning the unstable nature of ProjectX being reported, this is specific to the TFDX integration of ProjectX I have experienced which I'm sure they're aware of and working to fix. Overall fantastic experience and I hope to be here for the long haul. Thank you!
