Paid too much, got little

Even with a coupon, the final amount was well above what competitors charge. I would have been fine with strict rules if they had been written in plain language. A payout that should have taken a day turned into an ongoing email thread.

Great welcome experience

Easily the most approachable support I've come across in this industry. I appreciated that the trading rules were summarized clearly before I placed a single trade. The funded environment gives me room to trade 6E the way I want to.

Works well but needs polish

The challenge fee isn't low, but the rules are at least readable. My first withdrawal needed extra verification and my second needed none, so the process feels inconsistent. Rules are the type you accept, rather than the type you celebrate.

I had a question about my $150k account rules and got a precise answer with a link to the exact clause. Withdrawal requests are handled by people who seem to care. The cost of a reset is low enough that I treated it as tuition rather than a loss.
