Great platform ruined by 45-day safety net rule

Having been a client for over a year and managing a $150K funded account, I used to highly recommend this platform. However, the new 45-calendar-day deadline to reach the safety net is unrealistic and forces aggressive trading. I am very disappointed with this shift in policy.

Thank you for the feedback and for your continued loyalty as a long-term trader.

The 45-day Safety Net Requirement is part of our program terms and is designed to ensure accounts are actively progressing within a reasonable timeframe. We understand it represents a shift and that not every trader will agree with every policy decision. Feedback like this is noted as we continue to evaluate our programs.

If you have specific questions about how this requirement applies to your account, please contact support@etf.fund.

1 Star: Terrible support and unfair accusations – Avoid!**
**Review:**
I am thoroughly disappointed with my experience with Funded Trading Plus (ETF). I provided clear, undeniable proof that I was not using a trade copier, yet their support team completely ignored the evidence and wrongfully accused me of using one simply because I happen to own the software.
Having a tool in your possession is not proof of violation, but actual execution data is—and my data clearly showed no copier was in use. Instead of reviewing the facts objectively, they chose to stick to an unfounded claim and penalize me. If you are looking for a prop firm that respects its traders and handles investigations fairly, look elsewhere. This is completely unacceptable.

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

Trade copier and automated trading system violations are determined using ETF's internal application and session records, not solely based on third-party dashboards or screenshots submitted during appeal. ETF's records identified the use of an unapproved application in connection with the reviewed accounts.

Section (ac) of our Terms of Service prohibits the use of trade copiers and automated trading systems that have not been expressly authorized in writing by ETF. Neither of the applications referenced in this case appears on ETF's approved list. Owning a tool is not itself the basis for the determination. The account and session records are.

This case was reviewed multiple times, including a full appeal review. The compliance determination remains unchanged.

The weekly inactivity rule feels more…

I recently had an issue with the reset of my $495 evaluation account, and although it was frustrating at first, the support team resolved it quickly and professionally. They reviewed my case, corrected the issue, and got everything back on track. I appreciate their responsiveness and willingness to help. Thank you for the excellent customer service!

My experience with ETF Support was excellent. I had an issue with the reset of my $495 evaluation account, but the team handled it promptly and resolved everything without hassle. Mistakes can happen, but what matters is how they're handled, and ETF did a great job. Thank you for the outstanding support!

I joined through the "Beat the Beast"…

I joined through the "Beat the Beast" challenge and finally secured my first payout. I had plenty of questions; I managed to resolve 80% of them using the site's built-in AI and the rest via email support.
I met the requirements in six trading sessions, and my payout has already been approved and is awaiting disbursement—that phase took just one business day. So far, I’m really enjoying the prop firm.

Please don't trust Elite trader funding, Second pay out denied no reason

I am extremely surprised and disappointed by Elite Trader's decision to deny my second payout.

This is my personal account, and I executed every single trade myself. At no point has anyone else had access to or operated my account.

What makes this decision even more confusing is that my **first payout was approved without any issues**. I traded the exact same way for my second payout as I did for my first. There were no changes to my trading style, account access, devices, or trading process. If my trading was considered valid for the first payout, I cannot understand why the second payout was suddenly denied.

The reason provided—that my account was operated by more than one individual—is simply not true. If Elite Trader has evidence to support such a serious allegation, they should provide it. Making accusations without proof is unacceptable, especially when they previously approved my first payout under the same trading conditions.

I have always followed the rules and traded honestly. This experience has completely shattered my confidence in Elite Trader's payout process. I expected fairness and transparency, but instead I received an unexplained denial based on a claim that does not reflect what actually happened.

If there were an option to give **zero stars**, I would. Unfortunately, one star is the lowest rating available. I am extremely disappointed and hope Elite Trader reviews this decision, provides actual evidence for their allegation, and honors my legitimate payout.

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

Payout decisions at ETF are never made without evidence. Each denial is the result of a thorough compliance review of session records, trading activity, and account data. When a review identifies activity that raises compliance concerns, ETF acts in accordance with its Terms of Service regardless of prior payout history.

A first payout being approved does not exempt subsequent payout requests from review. Each payout cycle is evaluated independently.

The specific findings in this case were communicated directly to the account holder through the support channel. ETF does not disclose compliance review details publicly, but the decision was based on documented evidence and remains final.

If you have further questions, please contact support@etf.fund.

Robin is awesome

I been part of the ETF family for a while now and I have to say they are always giving their traders the best customer service.i have a few conversations with Robin and I always leave satisfied and well helped. Robin please keep up the good work and dont let anyone bring you down..as far as the company im still impressed to this day on the lengths this company goes thru to make sure their traders are taken care..its hard to find that in prop firms.But what I love about this company is the beat the beast challenge. I look at it as a way to get funded quickly but its also a way ETF give back to their traders..put keep up the hard work.
