For Traders
Twelve plans across three asset classes share a contract that names one company and every page that names another. The terms open with BLN Tech Club DMCC of Dubai as the Platform; the copyright line under every page claims the brand for FT Trading Ltd of Saint Lucia. Neither is regulated, the contract calls every payout "discretionary, not guaranteed", and a chargeback — for any reason — permanently bans the trader across every account.
Read plan by plan on 13 September 2026 from the marketing site and from one hundred and nine English articles of the help centre at help.fortraders.com. Twelve products are on sale — forex FAST, FAST STATIC, CLASSIC, INSTANT, INSTANT PRO and Pay After Pass; crypto FAST, FAST PRO and INSTANT; futures FAST, FAST PRO and INSTANT — and the 3-step STRIKE product is not modelled because its own article says it is unavailable for purchase. The floor is static on FAST STATIC and CLASSIC, trails the highest balance and locks at the starting balance on every other family, and the futures and crypto FAST PRO floors move only at the end of day. Four contradictions between the firm’s own pages are recorded. The restricted-country list disagrees with itself three ways: the contract adds Vietnam and South Sudan, the help-centre article omits both, and the page footer adds South Sudan but not Vietnam. Nothing published gives a per-size payout cap on the forex and crypto books, where the only figure is a flat $15,000 per reward cycle.
Not enough published data to simulate this firm’s floor.
This firm publishes its floor by account size — see the cited table below.
Crossed one of the seven hard bars. Open the row and it names which one, with the mechanism spelled out. This is not a low grade — no quantity of virtue elsewhere buys it off, which is why it carries no rank at all.

Trustpilot: fabricated-reviews warning
Trustpilot withholds the rating and serves a fabricated-reviews warning — a third party concluding the firm faked its own reviews. A low score is not this; every prop firm has angry traders. This is separate from having no legal entity: a firm can publish its registration number and still be caught doing it.

A named company, but no financial regulator anywhere — or a light-touch one only
Workable, but a cap or a waiting period bites
The risk rule changes after you have paid
Under a year, or too few reviews to mean anything
Each axis is scored 0–5 against a published scale. The line under each bar is the rung this firm landed on — not our summary of it, the scale entry itself.
The score is published anyway, because it is the honest picture: a firm can be strong on four axes and still be disqualified on one mechanism. A disqualifier is not a low grade — it is a rule we will not trade under at any price.
Plan by plan
12 of this firm’s challenges were read plan by plan, with a citation behind every answer. See them side by side →
One phase, a 2% target against 6% of trailing room, and no minimum days. The fee is split: an entry fee of $29–$69 and an activation fee of $189–$489 due within five days of passing.
One phase: 9% target, 3 profitable days, 3% daily limit and a 6% floor trailing the highest balance that locks at the starting balance. Bi-weekly rewards at an 80% split, capped at $15,000.
The cleanest floor the firm sells: a 10% target against 6% of balance-based room that "remains constant no matter how much profit you make or how much you withdraw". 3 profitable days, 3% daily, 1:20 leverage.
No evaluation: a 5% trailing floor that locks at the starting balance on payout, a 3% daily limit, 7 profitable days and a 15% consistency rule. The only account where a 2% floating loss triggers Drawdown Protection — first hit halves the split, second closes the account.
One rule and one rule only: a 6% trailing floor locked at the starting balance on payout. No target, no daily limit, no minimum days, no consistency. The price is a higher fee and a split of 60% rising to 90%.
Two phases, 8% then 5%, against a static 8% floor and a 4% daily limit — the loosest room-to-target ratio in the forex book. 3 profitable days per phase and no time limit.
One phase: 10% target, 6 profitable days, 3% daily and a 6% trailing floor. News is unrestricted in every phase and there is no consistency rule at all.
A 6% target, 4 profitable days and a 4% floor that trails the end-of-day balance only — the day cannot kill you intraday. No daily limit. The 90% split is the highest the firm publishes; a 35% consistency rule applies to Masters.
No evaluation: 5% trailing floor, 3% daily limit, 7 profitable days and a 15% consistency rule. Split starts at 70% and rises 5% per reward to 90%, capped at $15,000 per cycle.
One phase: $1,500–$5,000 target, a $1,000–$2,500 floor trailing the end-of-day balance, no daily limit and a 40% consistency rule in the Challenge only. The floor resets to the initial balance after the first withdrawal.
A $3,000 target against a $2,000 EOD floor and a $1,000 daily limit on a 50K account, with a 3-mini position cap. Five withdrawals maximum and then the account is marked Breached by design.
No evaluation: a 5% floor trailing the end-of-day balance, a 3% daily limit, 7 profitable days and a 15% consistency rule. The floor locks at the starting balance after the first withdrawal.

score withheld by Trustpilot — this is the figure it computes but will not show
Trustpilot removed reviews it found to be fake and withheld the rating. This is not a low score — it is a third party concluding the firm wrote its own praise.
What this firm published
Everything below is quoted from a page we opened, on the date shown. The quotes are in the firm’s own language, exactly as published — never edited, never shortened, never swapped for a translation. On the Spanish edition our own rendering appears underneath each one, unquoted and marked as ours: the quotation marks on this site mean the words are the firm’s, and nothing we wrote ever wears them. Where we have not read enough to put a number on an axis, we say so instead of guessing.
4/5
Can you even pass?
Almost nobody who pays for an evaluation ever reaches a funded account, so this is the part of the product most customers actually buy. Every firm advertises its profit target; none of them advertises that target next to how much you are allowed to lose while chasing it.
2/5
Can you keep the money?
The drawdown takes the account away; the payout rules take the money. Answered by whichever of the two we can measure and is worse — they are two ways of losing the same thing, so a good half cannot pay for a bad one.
2/5
Is anyone behind it?
A named company, a market, and rules you could read before paying. These three do not substitute for one another — a company you can sue does not stop existing because the account is a simulation — so this is the average of the ones we could measure, not the worst.

No score here, on purpose. The six axes above ask whether the firm can take your money or refuse to pay it. These rules ask something else — whether you can trade your way — and the right weight depends on who is reading: a minimum holding time decides the account for a scalper and is invisible to anyone else, while the weekend rule is the reverse. A single number would be wrong for half of you, and would look decided. The firm’s own sentences are here; the judgement is yours.
