STAY AWAY

I will tell you this once, STAY AWAY.

EVERY single person I've talked to had their payout reduced to 10%. I had a 100k account with a 1k payout, and it got reduced for a directional flip after loss.

Allow me to clarify, I had a short for 10 seconds cause I misclicked the direction and I instantly closed it to open a long. They then justify it with some BS clause which is up to interpretation and at not an actual rule.

Do NOT buy from them, they are BY FAR the biggest scammers in the industry.

Dear Jorge,

Thank you very much for your feedback.

We understand how frustrating situations like this can feel, especially when it comes to payout adjustments. However, we would like to make sure that decisions are not based on isolated actions such as a single misclick, but on a broader evaluation of trading behaviour in line with our risk framework.

Certain patterns, including rapid directional changes or execution inconsistencies, can fall under predefined behavioural guidelines. While these may not always be tied to a single trade, they are assessed in context rather than in isolation.

We also want to emphasize that all rules and clauses are outlined in advance and apply consistently across all traders. They are not introduced retroactively, and decisions are made following internal review processes rather than arbitrarily.

We understand that terms based on behavioural assessment can sometimes feel open to interpretation. For that reason, we are continuously working to improve transparency and provide clearer guidance to help traders better understand expectations.

At the same time, we are always open to reviewing edge cases to ensure our processes are correctly understood and consistently applied.

Regarding broader claims about payouts, it is important to note that outcomes vary significantly depending on individual trading behaviour and compliance with the rules in place.

We genuinely encourage any trader with concerns about a specific case to reach out to our support team so it can be reviewed in detail.

We appreciate your feedback.

Best regards,
The Finotive Team

Exposed Finotive Hidden Rules

Before purchasing an account, traders should carefully understand how Section 7 and Section 8.3(f) operate together.

Section 7 defines behavioural expectations using terms such as:
- “risk escalation”
- “inconsistent exposure”
- “performance concentration”
- “non-standard execution”

However, these terms are not supported by clearly defined numerical or measurable thresholds. There is no explicit guidance on:
- how much position size can vary
- what level of profit concentration is acceptable
- what constitutes excessive exposure

This creates a situation where traders are expected to comply with standards that are not objectively defined in advance.

Section 8.3(f) then allows payouts to be adjusted based on the firm’s “reasonable belief” that these standards have been breached.

In practice, this means:
- Traders may not know in advance what specific behaviour will be considered a violation
- Evaluations are based on interpretation rather than fixed, measurable criteria
- Decisions can be made after outcomes are observed, rather than against predefined limits

There have been multiple recent reports from traders of payout adjustments to 10%, with recurring feedback that the reasoning provided relies on broad terms rather than clearly defined thresholds. This has led to confusion among traders attempting to understand how to remain compliant.

There have also been instances where discussions about payout reductions in discord and Finotive silenced/muted them for 6-7 days for speaking the truth, which has contributed to concerns around transparency.

For a system like this to be fair and predictable, it would require clearly defined, objective benchmarks (for example: specific percentage limits, position size variance thresholds, or profit concentration caps). Without these, it becomes difficult for traders to consistently align their behaviour with expectations.

If the firm chooses to respond, the key point for traders to look for is whether clear, numerical and measurable criteria are provided. If explanations remain broad or interpretive, it suggests the framework relies on subjective judgement rather than transparent, rule-based standards.

Anyone considering purchasing an account should fully understand how these sections work in practice before committing. I will never purchase another account again because of the hidden rules and lack of transparency, misleading expectations, discretion vs structure and post event decision making.
In similar situations, regulators may take interest in how firms operate when rules are not clearly defined or measurable, particularly where outcomes depend on interpretation rather than objective criteria.

Please be careful traders.

Dear Felisa,

Thank you for your detailed feedback.

We understand that clarity and transparency around trading rules are essential, and we take concerns like yours seriously.

It is important to note that not all trading scenarios can be effectively captured through rigid, one-size-fits-all metrics. As a result, some level of qualitative assessment is required to ensure fairness across a wide range of strategies and market conditions.

That said, we acknowledge that this can sometimes lead to uncertainty, and we are continuously working on improving how we communicate these expectations more clearly and transparently.

Regarding payout adjustments, these decisions are not made arbitrarily. Each case is reviewed carefully, taking multiple factors into account, with the goal of maintaining a fair environment for all traders.

We also want to clarify that moderation actions within community channels are not intended to silence constructive feedback, but rather to ensure discussions remain respectful and in line with community guidelines.

Your feedback highlights areas where we can improve, particularly in providing more concrete guidance and examples. This is something we are actively reviewing.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective and would genuinely appreciate the opportunity to review your case again in detail.

Please feel free to reach out to our support team with your account information so we can provide a more specific breakdown of the situation.

Best regards,

My language is completely fine at the moment. Considering the behavior of your team, even using this kind of language is mild. Do they think I am foolish that I should keep messaging them again and again and they do not reply? I had a trade issue, and they promised me compensation, saying they would pay it. Now I have been messaging them for the last five to six days asking for the compensation so that I can start trading again, but there has been no reply at all. What am I supposed to do now? My trading is being affected. This was my first experience, and I will give a zero rating to your firm, especially to the risk team. Eddie from Finotive discord support don’t tell me what to do your team Finotive are a bunch of scammers!

Hi Yelsa/Talha,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we are truly sorry to hear about your frustration and the impact this situation has had on your trading.

We understand how important timely communication and clear resolutions are, especially when your trading activity is affected. We also understand that repeated follow ups without a response can feel extremely frustrating, and that is not the experience we want anyone to have with our support team.

Regarding your case, compensation or trade related adjustments always require internal review and confirmation from the relevant risk and operations teams before anything can be processed. This can sometimes take longer than expected during peak workload periods, but we acknowledge that the delay in communication here is not acceptable.

We also want to address your concern directly, we do not tolerate disrespectful behavior from either side, and we also expect the same level of respect in communication that we aim to provide to our traders. That said, your frustration is noted and we are taking your case seriously.

We strongly encourage you to reach out again with your account details so we can escalate this internally and ensure it is reviewed as a priority. We do not want you to feel ignored or left without resolution.

Best regards,

The bonus has been paid.

This is a company lacking transparency. When I requested my $2,000 salary payment, I received a confirmation email on April 1st stating that the money had been transferred, but as of today, April 13th, the money is still not in my Binance wallet. They keep making promises every time I email them. Furthermore, regarding immediate payment, they have unspoken rules that only allow them to pay 10%. In short, be wary of them.
And I received a $2,000 bonus after working with them. Thanks for Eddie's support.

They invent rules to avoid payout

They invent rules to avoid payout

I experienced the worst with them: my payout of 3.6k USD got a 10% profit split applied resulting in 300 usd instead of the promised 85% profit split (that would have resulted in 3,000 USD) because of rules they invented like "Profit Concentration" and "Directional Flip After Loss" not actually present in their Terms & Conditions. I have discussed about it with them, and they stopped replying. Stay away, it's a scam.

EDIT after response of the company which states that they strongly disagree that rules are invented or applied outside of our documented framework:

What they've texted me is completely differet, I copy paste parts of their emails:

Profit concentration is evaluated within the broader framework of **risk distribution and trading consistency**. While specific percentage thresholds may not be explicitly listed as standalone rules, the **generation of a substantial portion of total profit from a very limited number of trades** is considered within the scope of **concentration risk and structured execution assessment under Section 7.13**.

This is not applied as an isolated “rule,” but as part of the **overall behavioural evaluation**, as outlined in the Terms & Conditions.

The definitions provided in Section 1.2 and Section 7.9 describe examples of gambling-style behaviour but are **not exhaustive criteria**. Enforcement is not limited to only those exact scenarios but extends to **patterns that demonstrate similar intent or execution characteristics**.

What they say is basically that their rule is vague and generic enough for them to craft excuses to lower your payouts. If they were a serious prop firm, they would state specific rules that you must follow. This way, their "non-exhaustive criteria" can cover everything.

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you feel disappointed with your experience.

We want to be very clear that payout decisions are never made arbitrarily. They are based on predefined risk and trading behavior rules that apply to all traders equally and are designed to ensure fairness and long term stability of the program.

In cases where an adjustment is made, it is always tied to specific risk related patterns and not to individual profit outcomes alone. We understand that this can be frustrating when expectations differ from the final result, which is why transparency in communication is something we continuously work on improving.

We also take your comment about communication seriously. We have no intention of leaving any case unanswered and we would like the opportunity to review this again with you in detail. Please reach out once more to our support team with your account information so we can investigate what happened and clarify everything properly.

We strongly disagree with the statement that rules are invented or applied outside of our documented framework. At the same time, we are always open to reviewing edge cases to ensure our processes are correctly understood and consistently applied.

Best regards,

I had a very disappointing experience…

I had a very disappointing experience with Finotive Funding.

After trading a $100K account with a conservative swing strategy (maximum 0.05 lots), I requested a payout of $2,616. Instead of honoring the agreed 75% split, they reduced my payout to 10%, citing “liquidity abuse.”

The issue? The trades they flagged were held for 4 to 13 hours — clearly not scalping or any form of execution abuse.

There were no high-frequency trades, no latency arbitrage, and no news-based spikes involved.

What’s concerning is the lack of transparency. No clear technical explanation was provided, and a few trades were used to override the overall behavior of the account.

This raises serious concerns about fairness and consistency.

I would strongly advise traders to be cautious and fully understand the risks when dealing with this firm.

Update:

I have already contacted support and shared all required details, but the issue remains unresolved.

The main concern is how the rules were applied. Most of the referenced trades were not even executed within the 22:00–02:00 UTC window mentioned.

I remain open to a fair and transparent reassessment and hope this case will be reviewed properly.

Hi George,

We understand how frustrating it can be when a payout does not meet expectations, especially after what you describe as a disciplined trading approach.

Our policies around liquidity and execution are in place to protect both the integrity of the platform and the long-term viability for the entire trading community. That said, we agree that transparency is essential, and we continuously work on improving how these decisions are communicated.

The worst slippage possible!

I have recently bought an account with them and honestly i am experiencing this frustrating problem of slippage, before i buy an account a friend of mine who has couple accounts with them told me they pay and all but the only issue they have is the slippage issue, they close ur trades on a different pricing than the initial price u have set, i didn't mind it at first but then it kept happening on almost every trade i took, and it isn't a couple of pips, sometimes it is the double which is insane! Imagine u r calculating ur risk and ur overall trading plan but gets surprised by the dramatic closing prices that ruins ur plan and risk management, to make this more clear, i have opened a trade and set my SL at 10$, my trade went to the opposite direction and hit my SL, i checked my SL and it was 19.8$!!! Which is almost the double!! It's insane and very depressing i really wish they can fix this problem because my friend left them and if this keeps happening I don't think i would stay aswell, i really was planning to get a 100k account with them but seeing this made me hesitate and depresses me,
I have screenshots if anyone wants to see,
And btw i sent a message on discord regarding this issue and all they said is to contact the risk team, like if that's goin to fix the problem 🗿

Hi Irathernotsay,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience so openly, we genuinely understand how frustrating this can feel, especially when it impacts your risk management and trading plan.

Slippage is unfortunately a known market behavior that can occur during periods of volatility or lower liquidity, and it can affect all trading environments, not just ours. That said, we completely agree with you, the magnitude you are describing does not reflect the experience we aim to provide.

What is important to highlight is that each case can differ depending on market conditions, execution timing, and instrument liquidity. This is exactly why our risk team reviews such situations individually, to properly analyze what happened in your specific trades rather than giving a generic response.

We understand that being redirected to the risk team might feel like a standard reply, but they are the only team with access to the detailed execution data needed to investigate discrepancies like the one you described.

If you are open to it, we strongly encourage you to share your trade IDs and screenshots directly with them, so we can look into this thoroughly and provide you with a clear explanation.

Your feedback is extremely valuable, and we take it seriously. Improving execution quality and transparency is a constant priority for us.

We truly hope to regain your trust and give you a better experience moving forward.

Best regards,

Second Scam

They allow copy trading between accounts but this time they said i've manipulated exposure and performance by copying my trades between my accounts. They have refused a payout of 3616$ and terminated my 3 accounts. like i said before They interpret the rules in whatever way suits their own interests when it’s time to pay traders. Their agents told me that copy trading is allowed but now they terminated me because of this. They mislead their customers, so don't trust any one of them.

Hi Mostafa,

thank you for sharing your concerns, we understand how disappointing this situation must feel, especially when it involves account termination and a denied payout.

We would like to highlight an important point: copy trading itself is not prohibited. However, there is a clear distinction between standard copy trading for trade execution and practices that may artificially influence exposure, risk distribution, or performance across multiple accounts.

Our policies are designed to ensure a fair trading environment for all traders. This means that certain strategies, even if they involve copying trades, can fall under restricted behavior if they are used in a way that conflicts with our risk framework.

That said, decisions like account termination and payout denial are never made lightly. Each case is reviewed in detail by our risk team, based on trading data, account behavior, and rule compliance.

We understand that there may have been confusion based on previous communication, and we take that feedback seriously. Clear and transparent communication is something we continuously work to improve.

If you believe your case was misunderstood, we strongly encourage you to reach out again with your account details so it can be reviewed once more. We are always open to taking a second look where appropriate.

Dashboard and website beautiful, easy to read and use and very clean and professional, payouts are the quickest I've seen so far. Literally approved and processing within 2 hours of requesting and account is ready to trade again for rest of the week.

Unfair Payout Reduction and Account Restriction

I had a very disappointing experience with this firm.
After successfully meeting the payout requirements, my account was suddenly flagged for “liquidity abuse” and my payout was reduced to only 10%, which is completely unfair.
What makes this situation even worse is that I already completed a full video verification call with their team. During that call, I clearly explained my trading strategy, answered all questions, and everything was approved. No issues were raised at that time.
However, once I became profitable and requested a payout, they suddenly changed their position and accused me of violating rules that were never enforced or clearly restricted during trading.
Additionally, my account has now been placed in “close-only mode,” preventing me from trading normally, which further confirms that they restrict traders after profits.
All my trades were executed under normal market conditions provided by their platform. If certain trading hours are not allowed, they should block trading in real time instead of penalizing traders afterward.
This behavior is misleading and raises serious concerns about transparency and fairness.
I am now requesting either:
Full payout as earned, or
A full refund of the account purchase fee
I strongly advise traders to be cautious when dealing with this firm.

Hi Mrarym,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, we understand how frustrating this situation must feel, especially after reaching a payout stage.

We would like to explain a few important points.

A completed verification or compliance call does not represent a final approval of all trading activity. These calls are designed to confirm identity and gain a general understanding of trading approach, but all accounts remain subject to ongoing review under our risk and liquidity policies.

Regarding “liquidity abuse”, this is not related to profitability itself, but to how trades are executed within specific market conditions. Certain strategies can interact with market liquidity in a way that conflicts with our execution framework, even if trades appear normal on the surface.

We understand your concern about timing and transparency. However, not all behaviors can be restricted in real time without impacting overall execution quality for all traders. This is why post-trade analysis is an essential part of maintaining a fair and sustainable environment.

The adjustment of payouts or account status, including close-only mode, is only applied after a detailed review of trading activity and is based on predefined risk parameters, not on whether a trader is profitable.

That said, we take feedback like yours seriously, especially when it comes to clarity of communication. If you feel your case was misunderstood, we encourage you to reach out again with your account details so the team can reassess your situation.

Our goal is to ensure fairness and consistency across all accounts, and we remain open to reviewing individual cases where needed.

Everything Was Fine Until I Requested $1250 — KYC Approved, Payout Denied, Account Permanently Banned

I am sharing my full experience so other traders can understand the risks before purchasing challenges from this firm.

I had been trading with this prop firm for some time and had successfully received multiple payouts without any issue. My payout history on the same account included:

• $385
• $500 (monthly payout)
• $850
• $530
• $500 (monthly payout)

Everything was functioning normally until I requested a $1250 payout, after which the firm suddenly required me to complete Elevated KYC verification.

I fully cooperated and completed the entire process through their KYC provider. The verification included:

• ID verification
• Selfie capture
• Liveness verification
• Proof of address submission
• Phone OTP confirmation

After the issue arose, I requested the official verification report, which confirmed that all verification checks were successfully approved by the KYC provider.

The report clearly shows that the verification steps (ID submission, selfie, liveness, proof of address, and OTP confirmation) were completed using a residential IP address in Pakistan on the same device environment.

There were no user-originating foreign IP addresses during the verification actions.

However, the firm rejected my KYC and denied the payout citing “rapidly changing IP addresses from distant locations.”

After carefully reviewing the report, I discovered that the only foreign IP addresses mentioned were from the 66.249.x.x range, which belongs to Google infrastructure.

These IP addresses appeared during the moment when the verification link was transferred from desktop to mobile using the QR code “continue on mobile” feature.

Even the firm themselves acknowledged in their email that these IP ranges belong to Google infrastructure services.

Despite the following facts:

• The KYC provider approved the verification
• The full verification process was completed from a residential IP in Pakistan
• No VPN or proxy usage was detected
• No fraud flags were raised by the verification provider

The firm still rejected the payout by referencing Section 4.12.2 of their Terms & Conditions, claiming that the presence of IPs from distant locations during the session violated their internal compliance policy.

In other words, even though the verification provider approved the KYC and the user actions were performed from a single residential connection, the firm considered automated infrastructure access to the verification link as a violation.

After multiple escalation attempts and providing detailed explanations along with the official verification report, the final response from the firm was that the decision is final and cannot be reviewed further.

The outcome was not just the denial of the payout.

They also:

• Rejected the $1250 payout request
• Closed all associated accounts
• Permanently banned me from purchasing any future challenges or using their services

This happened despite the fact that I had already received several payouts previously from the same firm without any issue.

I am sharing this experience so other traders are aware that even if:

• Your KYC verification is approved by the provider
• Your trading account has prior payout history
• You complete the verification honestly from your residential connection

You may still face payout rejection based on internal interpretation of network session data that may include automated infrastructure requests outside of the trader’s control.

Transparency and consistent treatment of traders are extremely important in this industry, and experiences like this raise serious concerns about how payout decisions can be handled.

I hope this review helps other traders evaluate the risks before committing funds to challenges.

UPDATE (after the company’s response):

During the email investigation, the reason given for rejecting my payout and failing elevated KYC was IP access from distant locations under Section 4.12.2.

The official verification report shows the KYC was approved and all verification steps were completed from one residential IP in Pakistan. The only foreign IP recorded belongs to Google infrastructure (66.249.x.x) during the “continue on mobile” step, which was acknowledged in email.

Despite this, the payout was denied and my account permanently banned.

Their reply now mentions unspecified “internal risk checks,” which were never cited during the investigation.

They also say I can contact support, yet I was blocked from their Discord server after posting this review, despite not raising the issue there. The firm already has my email and case details if they truly wish to review it.

Dear Altaf,

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed experience.

We understand that situations involving payout reviews and account actions can be frustrating, especially after prior successful withdrawals.

However, we would like to clarify that all payout requests and account activities are subject to our internal risk and compliance checks, as outlined in our Terms & Conditions. These reviews go beyond the outcome of third-party KYC providers and include a broader analysis of account behavior, session integrity, and network activity.

While a KYC provider may approve identity verification, this does not automatically guarantee payout approval if other factors are identified during our internal review process.

Regarding IP-related concerns, our systems are designed to detect inconsistencies in session behavior, including patterns that may indicate irregular access environments. These assessments are part of our responsibility to maintain a fair and secure trading ecosystem for all users.

Decisions of this nature are never made lightly and are based on a combination of technical indicators and policy requirements. For security and compliance reasons, we are not able to disclose all internal evaluation criteria in detail.

We understand that you may not agree with the outcome, however, the decision has been made in accordance with our policies.

We remain committed to transparency, consistency, and the protection of all traders operating within our environment.

If you have a specific concern or experience you’d like us to review, feel free to reach out to our support team directly, we’re always open to addressing any questions in a transparent manner.

The entire process is hassle-free, from onboarding to payout approvals.
No unnecessary delays, no complications just a smooth and professional experience throughout.

Finotive is constantly reducing traders…

Finotive is constantly reducing traders payouts to 10% their rules are extremely strict. If you are a trader who can trade in line with the trend they will reduce payouts its in their terms and conditions Directional Bias & Limited Strategy Variation (Section 7.10). If you trade 1 instrument they will also reduce your payout to 10%. If you increase your lot size whilst in drawdown even do you are keeping cash risk % per trade the same they will also tell you that Disproportionate Exposure Increase Following Losses (Section 7.6(b)). From my experience I have had multiple payouts last year over $10,000 from this firm. But the past few months they are reducing all traders payouts and made their rules strict to scare away profitable traders because they don't have enough liquidity to pay traders. If you are a profitable traders you are a problem for the firm you will hurt their books and they will reduce you payouts to 10% and they will only tell you once you request a withdrawal. Here's another one if you close trades at the same time profit reduced to 10%.Its all psychological warfare. Their risk team is a joke find a new firm. If you want to be depressed and be in financial stress trade with Finotive remember I warned you!

Dear Dancehall,

We’re sorry to hear about your concerns and the frustration you’ve experienced.

We would like to clarify that payout adjustments, including reduced profit splits, are not applied arbitrarily. They are based on specific trading patterns that fall under our Trading Rules and Risk Policies, which are clearly outlined in our Terms & Conditions.

These rules are designed to promote consistent, structured, and risk-managed trading. Factors such as concentration on a single instrument, sudden changes in exposure, or strategy patterns may trigger a review, not because a trader is profitable, but because of how the trading activity is structured.

We want to emphasize that profitability alone is never penalized. Many traders continue to scale and receive payouts without any adjustments when operating within the defined framework.

We understand that not everyone will agree with these policies, however, they are applied consistently to maintain a fair and sustainable environment for all participants.

As we cannot review specific account activity in a public setting, we encourage you to contact our support team so your case can be reviewed in detail and clarified properly.

We remain committed to transparency, consistency, and fair treatment across all accounts.

Best regards,
— The Finotive Funding Team

Unfortunately

Unfortunately, my experience with this company was very bad. I suffered major price slippage and lost my account completely. Despite contacting support with all evidence, there was no response or solution. Lack of real support and effective customer service made this experience extremely frustrating. I advise caution when trading with them.

Dear Customer,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this must be.

Slippage can occur during periods of high volatility or low liquidity, however, cases like this should always be properly reviewed. We also take concerns about support responsiveness very seriously.

At this moment, we’re unable to identify your case based on this review. We kindly ask you to contact our support team again with your account details so we can investigate the situation thoroughly and provide clarification.

We are committed to maintaining a fair trading environment and ensuring that all concerns are handled transparently.

Best regards,

Payout reduced 90% at withdrawal with no prior warning — hidden rules not visible on dashboard

I completed a profitable trading cycle on a $25,000 funded account. When I submitted my payout request, Finotive Funding reduced it by 90% based on "behavioural violations" that were never shown anywhere on my trading dashboard during the entire period.

I have screenshots of my dashboard showing zero alerts and zero flags throughout the cycle.

After multiple formal disputes, they confirmed in writing that behavioural rules are intentionally assessed post-cycle and are not designed to appear as real-time warnings. This means you can trade an entire cycle, see a clean dashboard, and still have your payout cut at withdrawal based on criteria you had no way to monitor.

I requested a reset, a replacement account, or a free challenge. All denied. Final answer: irreversible.

The trading may be real, but the payout is not guaranteed. Know this before you fund your account.

Dear Albert

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand your concerns.

We would like to clarify that certain rule evaluations, including behavioral and risk-related assessments, are conducted as part of a comprehensive post-cycle review. These checks are outlined in our Terms & Conditions and are not solely dependent on real-time dashboard indicators.

While the dashboard provides helpful insights during trading, it does not represent the full scope of compliance and risk evaluation criteria. Final assessments are based on a broader analysis of trading behavior across the entire cycle.

We understand that this may feel unexpected, especially if no alerts were visible during trading. Your feedback regarding transparency and real-time visibility is noted and valuable as we continue to improve the platform.

As decisions are made in accordance with our policies, they are final once the review process is completed.

If you would like further clarification on your specific case, we encourage you to contact our support team directly so it can be reviewed in detail.

We remain committed to maintaining a fair and structured trading environment for all users.

Best regards,
— The Finotive Funding Team
