If i could get them 0 stars i would

If i could get them 0 stars i would, rubbish prop firm that doesn't payout members. These guys owe me $10,000 and keep giving me the run around. I told support that I am taking them to court over this and now they have blocked me on discord, very professional.

Regardless of the fact I have all the receipts, these guys are straight thieves.Don't waste your time, energy or money on them

NextStep is my top pick because I've received multiple payouts from them before without any IP-related payout rejections. I pass my challenges easily using Smart Funded HFt, which I rented on MQL5 😍😍.

Very Bad Service and Lack of Communication, STAY AWAY!

I am extremely disappointed with Next Step Funded. My payout request was declined without any explanation, and despite multiple attempts to reach out via email, I have received no response.
They responded a week ago and told me they will send an explanation email and still nothing yet!
I sent too many emails and they responded once telling me the same thing!!
Account: 2145734269
This lack of communication and transparency is unacceptable. I expected better service and accountability from a company that handles financial matters. I would not recommend Next Step Funded to anyone looking for reliable and responsive service.

Stopped paying even if you are good at making money with multiple excuses

Just as it is right to reward a company with 5 stars if it has behaved well with its customers, it is equally right to reject the same company when it makes fun of its customers. The operations carried out have always been manual and have never followed copytrading, sale trading or anything else. NSF with the usual copytrading excuse blocks your account, thanks you and says goodbye. After a few payments they decided that it was time to stop earning, that I had earned enough, so they closed my account. This could happen at any time, depending on the influx of money into the coffers from new members at that time. A person I signed up for had his account closed because he was connecting from different devices. They officially claim that there are no IP rules, but when it suits them to kick you out they make up all sorts of things. If you sign up, know that you do so at your own risk, it's just a matter of time and if you're even good you'll find an excuse to close your account.

Una esperienza pessima e negativissima

Una esperienza pessima e negativissima. Ho preso tramite una agenzia un prop firm, la stessa agenzia ha installato un software di gestione del trading autonomo su una vps in modo da far lavorare la prop firm su aperture e chiusure ragionate ed univoche qtte solo alla gestione di una equa e profittevole gestione , tant'è vero che con una prop da 50k abbiamo generato un profitto del 3% abbiamo aspettato i 30 giorni per il primo payout e ci siamo visti negare tutto , next step founded ha detto che abbiamo fatto copy trading, cosa non vera, ma a quanto pare lo hanno fatto con altri , abbiamo mandato una mail alla assistenza clienti ma no. Hanno neppure risposto. Un vero disastro o una truffa??

A very bad and negative experience. I hired a prop firm through an agency, the same agency installed autonomous trading management software on a VPS in order to make the prop firm work on reasoned and unambiguous openings and closings only to manage a fair and profitable management, so much so that with a 50k prop we generated a 3% profit, we waited 30 days for the first payout and we were denied everything, next step founded said that we did copy trading, which is not true, but apparently they have done it with others, we sent an email to customer support but no. They didn't even respond. A real disaster or a scam??

This Prop firm is totally scam

This Prop firm is totally scam. Please read my post before buying their challenge
This Prop firm is totally scam. I bought 2 challenges which allowed HFT bots. I make 10k USD on both portfolio and I have calculate all the rules like consistency rules, lots size consistency rules and I was sure that I didn't violate any rules. However, NSF comes up with the hidden rules we never know to cut your profit and after all they miscalculate the lots size consistency and even I asked them to show the calculation they rejected to show how they calculate it. I have all the evidence and rejected email. Don't fall for this people. If anyone want my evidence of the reason their are totally scam just DM me. Don't waste your time here in this scam site. " Now they try to delete my reviews on Trustpilot so trust me, they are totally scammed. They reject withdraw and give no reasons. They miscalculate consistency rule to deduct your profit"

COURT CASE STATUS : PENDING

We are taking legal action against this prop firm for denying yet another payout after waiting 60 days.

We have receipts of their staff members informing us that if we use a consistent lot size that there will be no issues whatsoever when it comes to the payout.

Lo and behold our payout got denied for this very same reason. We have attempted to reach out several times, with little to no proper response addressing the situation itself, once this review is acknowledged our attorney will use this as a formal recognition for the next step for our court battle.

If this matter is not resolved and we are not paid within 7 days we are filing an official lawsuit claim against your company.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

This platform is a total dumpster fire with its constant technical hiccups, customer support that ghosts you, and shady dealings. Traders are stuck with order execution delays and major headaches trying to get our hands on our funds. it's a recipe for disaster if you're serious about trading.

I've never had to deal with any of this nonsense with equity pathway whose investment service is smooth as silk, and they always come through with my payouts. They're the real MVPs in this game.

The support here is terrible

The support here is terrible. They delete your question if you want to ask something, and if it's related to "spread" or HFT, they give you a 24-hour TimeOut. This is one of the worst prop firms I've ever encountered. I sent two emails on June 26, but there's no response. Please don't waste your money on NSF

They add 3pips slipage on every single orders.
Exactly 3pips when enter, and another 3 pips when close the order. This is when I trade in normal market volatility, not during news events or anything.

Dear Note,

Thank you for your feedback. Please note that it is your responsibility to actively monitor your trading account. The market can be very volatile, and during news events or periods of low liquidity, slippage can occur, affecting your floating equity.

The current quote by the broker does not guarantee that the price will be opened or closed and executed at the displayed price. Additionally, please be aware that sell positions close at the ASK price, and buy positions close at the BID price. As such, while the client may have thought they were in profit with reference to the BID price of the instrument, the sell position closes at the ASK price and vice versa.

We hope this clarifies any confusion, and we are here to assist with any further questions you may have.

Best regards,

I requested my withdrawal

I requested my withdrawal. NSF denied this due to breach of the single day rule. In their explanation to me they only counted my winning trades for the day, the Never deducted my losses. I have studied their FAQ about this and in their FAQ they talk about daily profits. My daily profits only exceeded Once, but they claim that they only count the profitable trades on a day. They just don’t want to pay out and they are total scammers. I worked so hard and careful to not be denied. It’s a total rip off. They say that I breached with an amount that is even more than my total profits I made. They are so ridiculous.

Just adding NSF is not transparant your rules are not explained correctly because daily profits is still in my mind profit-loss and that is something you guys don’t do. You only count the daily wins even though my day ended in a loss you say I made profit. What is transparant about that
