    This section is for discussing payout problems with prop firms: delayed payments, rejected withdrawals, rule disputes, account terminations, and anything else that went wrong on the firm's end. If you've been through it, sharing the details helps everyone make better decisions. Basic conduct Stick to facts. Post dates, the firm's response, screenshots if you have them, and what steps you've already taken. A detailed account is useful. "They stole my money" with nothing behind it isn't. Don't dismiss someone's complaint because you've had a good experience with the same firm. Both can be true at the same time. No pile-ons. If a firm is already getting criticism in a thread, adding noise without substance doesn't help anyone. Promotion & advertising Do not use payout complaint threads to push alternative prop firms or services without admin approval. Poaching frustrated traders is still promotion. Referral links get removed without warning. DMing members who've posted complaints to sell them anything will get you banned. Posting standards When reporting a payout issue, include the firm name, the amount, how long it's been outstanding, what their support has said, and what your account agreement says. Details matter. If the issue gets resolved, update your thread. Others searching for the same firm need to know the full picture, not just the complaint. If you've escalated to a regulator or filed a dispute with your payment provider, mention it. It helps others know what options exist. Don't post secondhand complaints. If it didn't happen to you directly, it doesn't belong here. Other things that'll get your post removed Unverified claims presented as confirmed fraud without supporting evidence. Posts from people who are clearly affiliated with a competing firm. Complaints about issues that are clearly covered in the firm's terms and conditions. Warnings for minor stuff, bans for anything deliberate or repeated. Not sure if something fits here, message a mod before posting. — ForexRoasted Team

    check existing vs new accounts. retroactive cut is your cue to withdraw and move.

    if you want bigger size without leaving profit exposed, most firms offer scaling plans or additional accounts rather than requiring you to leave earnings in to grow. that way you increase allocation through the firms own program while still withdrawing your profits. you get larger size and keep your earned money safe. dont conflate trading bigger with hoarding profit in the account, theyre separable.

    withdraw at least 50% of each payout. counterparty risk is real. compound slowly, extract regularly.

    wire 3-5 days normal. 10+ days = formal written escalation. change in story + delay = actually concerning.

    wise if available = best practical choice. crypto faster but tax complexity. wire slowest but simplest accounting.
