Worst propfirm

I've traded with instant funding 4 times 2 i legimatly fail so you know there no problem there as i am always accountable for my actions .However the other 2 times through up red flags in there rule they say you can use many trading strats of them I have used was hedging. But till that's not the problem its canceling my account before I hit the max drawdown with still having a profit over the 25,000k micro if account of approx. 330 dollars. And then a current account where I was down 858.89 I'm too confused by there rules and will not be trading with them no more every . I want traders to know that there 15%-20% basically stops you from lettings your winners run. I'm more of a swing trader and this prop firms low consistency rules prevents traders from having a good day. So i decided to trade my own account if i have to keep wasting money on these prop firms i mine as well trade qqqi or gold gldw and get paid weekly dividends lol and buy slv/pslv or sell silver with zsl in stocks on robinhood instead of just blowing investment money on these prop firms until you save or while trading these you can add money to your own brokerage account until you reach the $1,000 in your brokerage acct like they supposed to give you and they don't even do that i'm done with propfirms period ! i want to follow my own rules like letting my runners run then getting in and out of the market when moves are over, hedge and manage my risk to reward through these skills i acquired along my trading journey but are restrictrictions are in the propfirm space called not real trading. I found myself getting out of a trade when the real moved happen after i HAD TO GET OUT BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE SURPASS MY CONSISTENCY RULE FOR THE DAY !Im tired of trading there way and then they don't even honor what you paid for so my accounts im talking about here where not failed they were cancelled !!! Thankfully my bank called me yesterday just to check up on me yes loll my bank does that and i told them about my account with them and i was advised to dispute the charges. because not only do i screenshot everything i use obs streaming to record all my TRADES lol and there rules to backup my dispute.Have a blessed day no wonder why youtubers don't really talk about instant funding.Dont trade with these ppl they will rob you one way or another i as you can see by there ratings here!

I find this company highly unprofessional.

I did not receive a single warning or reminder email regarding inactivity. Then, without any prior notice, my account was blocked on the same day. This kind of approach is extremely disappointing.

In my experience, I have never seen a proprietary trading firm operate this way — where the company simply waits in silence for a client to make a mistake instead of providing proper communication.

I consider this behavior unfair and lacking basic customer support standards.
At the very least, there should be clear and consistent notification systems in place.

I strongly recommend the company review and improve their communication processes.

The firms are Scammers

ticket id: 256675

I have been trading with instant funding from quite a long time. They have the best challenge. But..

Do not purchase this service they don't allow you to use VPS that rules are not visible in FAQ but single line under terms and conditions

Without using VPS and EA you cannot make enough profit

My payout was denied under a “copy trading” allegation, and I want to explain exactly how this was handled.

After submitting my payout, I was informed that my account had been flagged for copy trading. I immediately disputed this, since all my trades were placed manually.

They provided a few trade comparisons as “evidence,” but these trades clearly had:

- Different entry times
- Different entry prices
- Different lot sizes
- Different closing times and results

I pointed this out and asked for clarification on how this could be considered copy trading.

My case was then escalated, and I was told to wait 24–48 hours for a full review. I waited beyond that timeframe, and when they finally responded, they stated that their decision was final.

They claimed their conclusion was based on a “pattern across multiple trades,” but:

- No detailed breakdown was provided
- No specific trades were identified beyond the initial examples
- No criteria or thresholds were explained
- No way to verify or challenge their conclusion was given

When I asked for more transparency, they refused, stating that their methods are confidential.

In the end:

- My payout was denied
- My account was terminated
- No refund or alternative resolution was offered
- No further escalation was allowed

This process felt one-sided, with no real opportunity to defend myself despite providing reasonable counterpoints.

Traders should be aware that decisions like this can be made based on internal criteria that are not shared, leaving you without a clear way to respond or appeal.

Final Update:

The firm has issued me a refund of $103 (the account fee). However, my payout of $1,889 remains denied based on the copy trading allegation.

While I appreciate that the refund was processed, I still disagree with the decision regarding the payout, as I maintain that all my trades were executed manually.

Overall, I’m glad to have recovered my initial fee, but the main issue regarding the payout was not resolved.

I’ll leave this here so others can make an informed decision.

I am currently facing a serious issue with Instant Funding regarding my payout and account breach.

Before this, my experience was actually good. I have successfully received 10+ payouts, and I even promoted this firm because of my positive experience. However, the issue started after I passed my $200,000 one-phase micro account.

After passing, the risk team applied restrictions: 1% risk per trade and mandatory stop loss on every position. I accepted these rules and traded accordingly.

When I requested my payout, it was rejected with the claim that multiple trades had no stop loss. I provided clear proof from my CTrader position history, and they accepted that I was right SL was placed.

Then a second allegation was made: that I exceeded the risk limit. However, the SL values they provided were incorrect. For example, they showed stop loss levels below entry on SELL trades, which is technically impossible because SL for SELL trades must always be above entry. I explained this with proof.

After this, my case was escalated to the senior team. After waiting 3+ days, the senior team claimed that 2 trades had no stop loss. This is again incorrect. I have complete CTrader history showing SL was placed, and in one case, the trade was even closed at stop loss, which clearly proves SL existed.

This shows inconsistent and incorrect analysis across all levels (support → second review → senior team). Every time I disprove one claim with proof, a new allegation is raised instead of resolving the issue.

My case is still under review, and I am waiting for a fair resolution.

I want to make one thing clear:
If I have violated any rule, then show it with correct data and take appropriate action—I will accept it. But if I have followed all rules, then I should receive my payout. Denying payout without a valid and consistent reason is not justified.

I hope Instant Funding reviews this case properly and resolves it fairly.

-------------------------------------------

I am updating my review after Instant Funding’s response because new developments have made this situation even more concerning.

Email: hammadsarwar89(at the rate)gmail.com
Account: 3061190

On my $200,000 account, the risk team applied restrictions:
1% risk per trade and mandatory stop loss on every position. I accepted these rules and traded accordingly.

When I requested my payout, it was rejected with the claim that I did not place stop loss on multiple trades. I provided clear proof from my cTrader history showing SL was placed on every trade. After this, they accepted that I was right.

Then a new allegation was raised: that in one trade (Trade ID 3126263) my stop loss exceeded the risk limit. However, this was a SELL trade, and the SL level they provided was below the entry, which is technically impossible. I again proved with data that my actual SL was within 0.50%–0.75% risk, and their example was incorrect.

After that, my case was escalated to the senior team. A few days later, they claimed that 2 trades had no stop loss (Trade IDs 3130050 and 3120209). Once again, I checked my cTrader history and provided proof that both trades had SL placed.

Now, in their latest response, they have changed the reason again, saying that SL was placed but added later. I have already provided timestamp proof showing that SL was placed within 6 seconds (Trade 3130050) and 8 seconds (Trade 3120209) — both within risk limits.

This clearly shows a pattern:
Every time I disprove one claim with evidence, a new allegation is raised instead of resolving the case. This feels like an attempt to close the case with different excuses rather than conducting a proper and consistent review.

I have followed all rules and provided complete proof at every step.

My case is still ongoing, and I am requesting Instant Funding to properly resolve this matter instead of continuing with inconsistent explanations.

If I have violated any rule, clearly show it with correct and consistent data — I will accept it. Otherwise, if I followed all rules, then my payout should be processed and account restored.

Just wanted to update that even after their reply here, they still have not provided any payout. This reply was just to show the community that they are in communication with me. So dont be trapped. As they are still unable to provide any resolution. Just the rest account is a very big favor as per their team.

I traded a 10k Instant Micro account (Account ID: 8091557) and completed the profit and consistency requirements in 10 days.

My payout was then rejected for “grid trading.” The trades in question were multiple small positions (0.01 lots) opened close in time/price. I now understand this can be classified as stacking/grid under the rules, even if not intentional.

However, my main concern is this: if this trading behavior was not allowed, why was it not flagged or restricted on day one while I was actively trading? Early notification would have saved significant time and effort, and I could have corrected my approach immediately.

Instead, the issue was only raised at the payout stage, after all targets were achieved. This makes it extremely difficult for traders to identify and fix such issues in time.

To be fair, support did reset my account as a goodwill gesture. However, clearer in-platform alerts or early-stage intervention would prevent situations like this.

Given the circumstances, I respectfully request the team to review my case once more and consider releasing my payout as a one-time goodwill exception.

Sharing this so other traders can be careful with multiple entries/stacking on this platform.

Dear Support Team,

I am writing to formally dispute the decision to ban my account and deny my withdrawal.

The reason provided refers to a “10-minute rule”, which was not part of the trading rules at the time I was actively trading and completing the challenge. This rule appears to have been introduced after my trading activity, which raises serious concerns about fairness and transparency.

I have strictly followed all the rules that were in place during my trading period. Applying new rules retroactively to invalidate my performance and deny my payout is unacceptable.

I kindly request:

- A full review of my account activity
- Clear evidence of the rule violation based on the rules that were active at that time
- Immediate processing of my withdrawal if no valid violation is proven

If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will be forced to escalate the matter through public reviews and relevant platforms.

I expect a professional and fair resolution.

Update regarding InstantFunding’s public response:

Thank you for your reply.

Your public statement now expressly confirms the following:

* My stop-loss was correctly placed
* My planned risk was structured in compliance with the rules
* My trading approach was fully aligned with the communicated framework
* The exceedance occurred solely due to slippage / market volatility

At the same time, you confirm that despite this full compliance, the trade was still classified as a breach solely because the realized loss exceeded the 1% threshold by approximately $32 due to slippage.

This publicly confirms the exact core of my criticism:

Under your own explanation, a trader can plan correctly, execute in compliance with the rules, and still be disqualified due to uncontrollable execution factors.

In addition, I had been informed multiple times beforehand that relevant risk is measured by the distance between entry and stop-loss — i.e. planned risk, not the eventual slippage-adjusted realized result.

The methodology now confirmed by you therefore differs from the risk definition previously communicated to me.

From a trader’s perspective, this creates the impression that even repeatedly confirmed guidance regarding practical rule application may ultimately prove non-binding if later superseded by a differing operational interpretation.

Every trader can draw their own conclusion as to whether this approach is transparent and fair.
=======================

I would like to share my experience with InstantFunding in a factual and transparent way, as it may be relevant for other traders.

First, a positive note:
I have traded multiple accounts and successfully received payouts. The platform works in principle.

This review relates to a specific case involving an IF Micro account (100,000 USD) and the 1% risk rule.

I opened a trade with a correctly placed stop-loss, keeping the planned risk below 1%. This definition (entry to stop-loss) was confirmed multiple times by support, both before and after the trade.

During execution, slippage occurred and the stop-loss was filled at a worse price, causing the realized loss to exceed the limit by $32.

Support confirmed:

* the deviation was caused by slippage
* my risk management was correct
* the stop-loss-based risk definition

However, the final decision was:

* the realized loss is decisive
* the trade was classified as a violation
* the payout of $10,600 was denied

An important aspect is timing:
The issue was not raised immediately after the trade, but only at the payout stage. Until then, the account had been traded fully in compliance.

This creates a key contradiction:

👉 Risk is communicated as planned (entry–stop-loss)
👉 but enforced based on realized outcome

This means:

👉 A trade can be compliant at execution
👉 but later be classified as a violation

In volatile markets (e.g. Nasdaq, gold, or crypto), this is not fully controllable in practice.

On a positive note:
Support was professional and reviewed the case.

However, a goodwill offer in the form of a 5K IF Micro account was made, which I did not consider proportionate to the denied payout.

I also sought independent advice, which indicated that this discrepancy between communicated and applied rules requires further clarification.

Conclusion:

The effective rule is based on realized loss and not solely on planned risk, although this definition was confirmed multiple times.

Traders should be aware of this distinction.

My experience with Instant Funding started off very frustrating due to an issue with a JPN225 trade being flagged as a rule breach.

However, after escalation, the senior support team reviewed my case manually. I’m pleased to say that my account was reinstated and my payout was approved.

I appreciate that the team acknowledged the situation and took responsibility to resolve it fairly. That said, I believe their automated risk system and transparency around calculations (especially for indices) still need improvement to avoid similar issues for other traders.

Overall, while the initial experience was negative, the final resolution was handled professionally.

Recently my payout rejected

Absolutely pathetic support, using double-language to mislead. hidden Rules and restrictions.

Very satisfied with my overall experience on Instant Funding until now. Clear trading rules, smooth trading conditions and a very kind and helpful costumer support team, particularly Priya and Atta who supported me in every question i had.

Also i’m very happy with the discounts i got from you at purchase!

Thank you Instant Funding!

It is a scam. They are hiding the server level restrictions and if they even support the cTrader or MT5 API access, they are not allowing the TRADE... You will learn that when you request a support for it.

SCAM COMPANY! I HAVE PASSED 10.000 ONE-PHASE MICRO ACCOUNT. IN THIS ACCOUNT DD WAS 4% AND ONCE I LOST 2% ACCOUNT BRACNHED FOR RISK FOR PER TRADE. IN ADDITION WHILE I WAS PASSING CHALLANGE SPREAD WAS VERY HIGH IN EUR JPY AROUND 80 PIPS. I HAVE SCREENSHOTS. ACCOUNT NUMBER WAS 8090354

Headline: Instant funding company rejects withdrawal request
Unfair Payout Denial & Lack of Transparency Regarding 1% Breach Claim
Review:
I am writing this to alert the trading community about my recent experience with Instant Funding. My withdrawal was denied, and my account was closed based on an alleged breach of the 1% drawdown rule—a claim that is mathematically and technically impossible based on my trading logs.
The Facts of My Case:
1. Mathematical Impossibility: My realized loss was $471.40. To hit the 1% ($1,000) limit, my remaining 0.2 lot position would have needed to reach a floating loss of over $528. Despite checking the XAUUSD price action during that specific window (09:10 - 10:01), the market never reached the price required to trigger such a loss.
2. Failure of System Execution: By their own admission, their automated system failed to flag any breach in real-time. I was allowed to continue trading for days/weeks in "good faith," only to have my payout denied during a "manual review" after I became profitable.
3. Burden of Proof: I have formally requested the CSV Server Logs (Tick Data) with millisecond timestamps to prove their claim, but transparency has been non-existent.
It is highly unprofessional for a prop firm to allow a trader to keep trading and then "find" a breach only when it’s time to pay out. I have documented all my equity curves and screenshots as evidence.
I am still open to resolving this if the firm provides the requested server logs or reinstates my account/payout. Until then, I advise fellow traders to be cautious of these "manual review" tactics.
