Scammers Excuse You passed But you Shouldn't Have
The famous Scammers Excuse “You passed, but we feel like you shouldn’t have”.
Let’s get this straight—I passed the $50K evaluation while strictly following every single rule Affluent Trading claims to uphold:
Never exceeded 1 lot per position (even though I was allowed more).
Never risked more than 2% on any trade (my max loss in any position was under $900).
Used proper SLs on every trade (Scammers should know that for a proper Risk Management i always use Trailing Stop Loss and i change it after every move on my favour but can't blame them as what scammers know about trading).
Maintained consistency, avoided revenge trading, and showed a clean progression of smart entries and exits.
Now let’s break down those 11 trades that apparently were “Gambling” according to renowned Scammers:
1. A controlled loss of $131, Trailing SL hit.
2. A $187 gain—Trailing TP hit .
3. $375 profit, shorted resistance, closed in profit.
4. $1,350 profit, strong directional trade, TP smashed.
5. A tiny -$45 loss, Trailing SL at BE.
6. $496 profit Trailing SL in place.
7. $855 profit, solid clean move to downside.
8. -$840, SL hit—still under 2%.
9. $204 gain, Trailing TP.
10. $1,607 profit, beautiful high R:R swing.
11. -$864, second and final SL hit—again, under 2%.
7 wins. 2 SLs. 2 BE/small losses. Not a single overleveraged entry. Not a single violation. And you still call that Gambling?
If this was Gambling, then maybe you need to change your entire definition of risk management. Or better yet, admit what this really is: a cheap, A Scamming and pathetic excuse to avoid paying a legitimately passed account.
And let’s not forget the irony—you’re accusing me of being “emotional” while your own review is dripping with emotional damage because I exposed your nonsense. If anything, your business model seems to rely on False Resets, hiding behind vague accusations like “no clear strategy” (despite a 70%+ win rate) or “SL placed too close to close time” (because apparently that’s a new rule you pulled out of thin air just this excuse should make traders alarmed).
The FUNNIEST PART? You offered me a free RESET—which is your way of saying: “WE KNOW YOU PASSED, but we’re not gonna ADMIT it, so here, go again.” A reset is a way that scammers use to coverup and to continue with their scamming.
So, here’s a thought: If you don’t want to pay out funded accounts, just say that. Save us all the time. Because from where I’m standing, the only ones GAMBLING here... are Traders. GAMBLING on whether you’ll honor your own rules and invent some new ways to scam them.

We understand you're upset about not passing your challenge stage. As we explained in detail, we provided feedback on the areas of concern in your trading. Posting multiple Trustpilot reviews won’t change the outcome, but we’re happy to clarify things again.
This was a giveaway account, and while we normally don’t offer resets on those, we made an exception out of goodwill because you’ve been a loyal customer. Normally we would only offer a reset for paid accounts.
Calling us a scam simply because you didn’t like the feedback doesn’t make it true. You’ve previously been funded with us it why would now try to deny you passing to the next stage of a challenge as you are referring to 3 step giveaway account — not a funded account. You passed step 1, then failed a trade review on step 2 and were offered a free reset, you had not progressed to step 3 or passed step 3 so no funded account has been denied.
We’ve done our best to be fair and transparent but continuing to post inaccurate reviews isn’t helpful to you or anyone else.

Hello, but your comment is not an accurate reflection of what occurred.
As explained via email and in our public Discord announcement, we recently changed our brokerage partner. During this transition, all accounts were deactivated as part of the migration process. This was not done without reason, and it was clearly communicated to all traders.
You were given instructions on how to resume your challenge under the new broker, and our support team remains available to assist if you need help with this.
Affluent Trading has always prioritised transparency and trader support. We understand changes can be frustrating, but we assure you there was no wrongdoing or unfair treatment in your case.
If you need further clarification or assistance getting set up again, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team or open a ticket in the Discord.
A trust worthy Firm
I have never had any issues with this firm. I have been trading with them for a while now and they have been so nice to me. I never understood there rules very well at first but they helped me really well in the discord to understand the rules. I have never seen anyone complain of any payout denial or delay. This is a good firm

Tried again with a $10K account, got funded today, and they blocked me—denying both my funded account and refund. they used words like gambling and accuse me of hedging n have no risk management even though they have sl rule and limited size per account . offer me free reset , i denied it why to waste time with scammers

Hi Sujith,
We appreciate all feedback, even when it’s critical. However, your review is misleading and misrepresents the facts. Let’s set the record straight:
You violated our Terms of Service – Our rules explicitly prohibit hedging (Section 11 of our Terms). You admitted to using a hedging-based approach multiple times. Knowingly breaking the rules disqualifies you from receiving a funded account.
You were given a chance to continue – Despite your high-risk and non-compliant trading behaviour, we offered you a free reset, which you declined. Instead of taking responsibility, you chose to call us scammers.
Risk Management Matters – While we do have lot size and stop-loss rules, traders are still required to maintain a structured strategy and responsible risk management. Our analysis, both automated and manual, flagged your approach as reactive and inconsistent with professional trading standards.
Affluent Trading is committed to fairness and transparency, but we also have a responsibility to maintain our risk policies. We welcome serious traders who follow our guidelines, and we stand by our decision in this case.
If you expect a prop firm to ignore risk management violations, this is not the place for you. We fund serious traders who follow the rules, not those looking to exploit the system.
Your attempt to discredit us does not change the facts. Affluent Trading is committed to fairness, transparency, and strict adherence to our policies. Traders who follow the rules succeed here—those who don’t will not.
Best regards,
Affluent Trading

no evidence was provided during my account review that day, they kept on pressuring me i should say the truth , I told them i trade alone.. what happened in the past was in the past, it has nothing to do with my phase 2 account I have evidence of when the so called CEO pardoned me and welcomed me back. everyone cheat on giveaway competition, that one is normal...but that doesn't have to do with my phase 2 account.
everyone one needs to know this firm isn't transparency enough . i didn't break any rules, I didn't break the daily dd and max dd, all my trades has stop loss...now he is claiming i used an authorized tools..i asked for evidence... he wasn't able to provide evidence..i didn't explain finish he removed me from discord channel, blocked me on dms ... the funniest thing i was even their affiliate staff

Hi Ade,
We stand by our previous response and will clarify once again for full transparency:
1️⃣ Evidence Was Provided – Your account was closed based on clear violations, and you were presented with evidence. No one "pressured" you—our team simply asked for an explanation regarding the rule breaches and you were unable to answer any of our questions and would reply with irrelevant statements like "I don't like tradingview.
2️⃣ Repeated History of Dishonesty – Your past actions are relevant, as they show a consistent pattern of dishonesty, including multiple attempts to cheat in competitions. While you were given a second chance, you continued to break the rules, including breaching KYC by trading under someone else’s account.
3️⃣ Firm Policy on Cheating – Your statement that "everyone cheats in competitions" is not a justification. We enforce strict standards to ensure fairness for all traders. Violating rules—past or present—is taken seriously.
4️⃣ You Were Never Staff – Having an affiliate code does not make you a staff member. Affiliates are independent users who promote our firm, but they do not have any internal role or authority within Affluent Trading.
5️⃣ Your Removal from Discord & DMs – Due to repeated misconduct, false accusations, and abusive behaviour towards staff, removal was necessary. We do not tolerate disrespect within our community.
Affluent Trading remains committed to fairness, transparency, and integrity. We will always uphold strict compliance to protect our traders and ensure a professional environment.

Lot size rule reconsideration
"I've been reflecting on the lot size rule in Affluent Trading, and I have to admit that it's been a source of frustration for me. While I appreciate the emphasis on risk management, I strongly believe that the current rule can be limiting and even counterproductive.
"The 5% maximum daily drawdown is a great guideline, but I think it would be more effective to focus on the percentage risk per trade rather than the lot size. This would give traders the flexibility to diversify their trades and manage their risk more effectively.
"For example, let's say I have a 10-pip stop loss on a trade, and I want to risk 1% of my $100,000 trading account. Instead of being restricted by the lot size rule, I should be able to use a 10.00 lot size on that single trade. This would allow me to manage my risk more precisely and avoid over-leveraging my account.
"I understand that the lot size rule is intended to prevent over-trading and minimize losses. However, I believe that a percentage-based approach would be more effective in achieving these goals. By focusing on the percentage risk per trade, traders can develop a more nuanced understanding of risk management and make more informed decisions.
"I would love to see Affluent Trading reconsider the lot size rule and adopt a more flexible approach that prioritizes percentage risk per trade. I believe this would be a major improvement and would allow traders to optimize their strategies and achieve better results."

Hi RG,
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback regarding our lot size rule. We truly value constructive comments like yours as they help us continually assess and improve our risk management framework.
We understand that the current lot size restriction may appear limiting, and your suggestion to focus on percentage risk per trade is an interesting one. However, our lot size rule is part of a broader strategy designed to protect traders from overexposure and ensure a sustainable trading environment. While a percentage-based approach might offer additional flexibility, it also comes with complexities that could potentially lead to increased risk if not carefully balanced with other safeguards.
Our existing structure—including the 5% maximum daily drawdown and the lot size restrictions—aims to promote disciplined trading and prevent over-leveraging, particularly in volatile market conditions. Although your example provides an oversimplified view, risk management in practice involves a careful balance between flexibility and the need to maintain consistent, protective measures for all our traders.
We appreciate your perspective and will certainly take your suggestions on board as we continually review our policies. Our commitment remains to support our trading community with a robust and sustainable framework.
Thank you once again for your thoughtful input.
Best regards,

Thank you for sharing your experience with Affluent Trading. We value all feedback and aim to address any concerns promptly.
We would like to clarify our policies regarding the use of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and Expert Advisors (EAs):
Use of VPNs:
Permitted with Notification: We allow the use of VPNs; however, it's essential to inform us beforehand. This ensures compliance with our security protocols and regulatory requirements.
Security Measures: Unnotified VPN usage, especially from restricted regions, can trigger security alerts, potentially leading to account suspension.
Use of Expert Advisors (EAs):
Permitted with Verification: We permit the use of EAs, provided they are verified to ensure adherence to our trading rules.
Verification Process: This process involves submitting the EA for review and may include a nominal fee to cover the evaluation.
In your case, our records indicate that:
EA Submission: You were informed about the EA verification process but chose not to submit your EA or proceed with the associated fee.
Unnotified VPN Usage: Subsequently, a VPN associated with regions outside our operational scope was used without prior notification, leading to security concerns.
Account Status: As a result, your account was suspended on December 11, 2024, and closed on December 23, 2024, due to these policy breaches.
Regarding your funded account:
Account Acquisition: You won the account through a giveaway and did not incur any personal expense.
Trading Activity: During the active period, your account achieved a 1% profit, below the 4% target required for a payout.
Account Suspension: The majority of the time you held the account, it was suspended due to security breaches, limiting your trading opportunities.
We understand the importance of clear communication and are here to assist with any account-related requests. To ensure a seamless trading experience, we encourage all users to discuss any intended use of VPNs or EAs with us in advance.
For a comprehensive overview of our policies, please refer to our official guidelines or contact our support team directly.

I put a good review before because of what they promised the traders but everything was just a lie . Those rules they have , they won’t follow it . I have passed my 1 phase challenge for 2 days, using 8 lots Gold , no SL , DD almost reach 4% and they accusing me of breaching the rule . With 2 lots rule , I asked them before I purchase and they said it is no problem to open bigger lots ..
on the rules there were no SL stated . And DD is 5%

Stop posting lies about us online it won't help your case. Here is the original email we shared with you showing that your lack of risk management is what caused the violation.
I hope this message finds you well. Upon reviewing recent trades on your $100,000 challenge account, it has come to our attention that your position sizing exceeded the acceptable risk parameters set forth by Affluent Trading.
Summary of the Issue:
Lot Size Exceeded: Your account was holding 8 lots on gold, split into four trades of 2 lots each. This exceeded the maximum recommended lot size of 2.0 for a $100,000 account, as outlined in our risk management guidelines.
No Stop Loss Used: We noted that there was no stop loss set on these trades. While using a stop loss is recommended but not mandatory, taking on excessive leverage (such as 8 lots on gold) without a stop loss introduces significant risk, particularly if this were a live account. Our goal as traders is to first and foremost protect our capital rather than chasing returns, and maintaining risk management standards is essential to this goal.
High Intraday Drawdown: The account experienced a near -4% drawdown during the day, followed by a positive close of 8%. While the profit target was met, the position sizing and risk exposure triggered a review under our Daily Profit Review and Risk Management policies.
Reason for the Reset:
At Affluent Trading, we strive to transition successful traders to A book accounts, where trades go directly to the market, offering the potential for greater long-term gains. However, this move requires strict adherence to risk management practices to avoid excessive leverage, which can lead to margin calls and potentially jeopardise both your success and the firm’s stability.
These rules are in place to ensure both your success and our firm’s sustainability over the long term. By following them, you’re developing the responsible trading habits essential for continued growth and stability as a funded trader.
Relevant Policy Highlights:
Our policies aim to maintain responsible risk management practices for both the trader and the firm, ensuring stability and consistency. As per our guidelines:
Lot Size Limits: For a $100,000 account, the maximum recommended lot size is 2.0. Trades exceeding this are subject to review.
Daily Profit Review: Any profit above 2% in a single day prompts a review to confirm adherence to a consistent and responsible trading strategy.
Given the nature of this trade and its deviation from the expected risk management standards, we must reset your challenge account. However, as this is your first time breaching the rules, we are pleased to offer you a free retake of the challenge as a gesture of goodwill.
Next Steps:
Free Challenge Retake: Your account will be reset at no cost, allowing you to continue with your evaluation process.
Risk Management Consultation: If needed, we can arrange a session to review effective risk management strategies to support your growth as a trader within our programme.
Our goal is to support you in developing a robust trading approach that aligns with our funding criteria and long-term success. Please reach out if you have any questions or would like assistance with the challenge reset.
