    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

    This section is for discussing prop firm challenges and evaluations: rules, profit targets, drawdown limits, time limits, scaling plans, and strategies for passing. If you've passed, failed, or found something worth knowing, share it here. Basic conduct Be straight about your experience. Passed a challenge? Great, share what worked. Failed? Even better, share what went wrong. Both are useful. Don't talk down to people who are on their first challenge. The rules vary wildly between firms and it takes time to figure out what actually matters. If you disagree with someone's approach to a challenge, explain your reasoning. Promotion & advertising Do not promote prop firms, challenge services, or passing tools without admin approval. This includes "I used this EA to pass, DM me for the settings" if it leads to a sales funnel. Mentioning a firm or tool in context is fine. Building threads around them to drive referrals is not. Referral links get removed without warning. DMing members to sell challenge passing services will get you banned. Posting standards When discussing a specific challenge, name the firm and the account size. Rules differ between tiers and firms, and vague advice based on unclear context causes confusion. Be precise about the rules you're working with: daily drawdown, max drawdown, profit target, minimum trading days. These details are what make advice actually applicable. If you're sharing a passing strategy, include live context, not just a backtest. Challenge conditions and live execution are not the same thing. If your approach stopped working after a firm updated its rules, flag it. Outdated strategies presented as current advice do real damage here. Other things that'll get your post removed Posts that are clearly just advertising a challenge passing service or funded account reseller. Strategies that involve exploiting platform glitches or loopholes. That's not trading, and most firms will void your account for it anyway. Unverified claims about a firm's evaluation process presented as fact. Warnings for minor stuff, bans for anything deliberate or repeated. Not sure if something fits here, message a mod before posting. — ForexRoasted Team

    This section is for everything prop firm related: sharing your experience, discussing firm models, debating rule changes, comparing payouts, and keeping track of what's actually happening in the industry. Basic conduct Be specific. "Firm X is great" or "Firm X is a scam" with nothing behind it helps nobody. Say what happened, when, and what the outcome was. Bad experiences are just as welcome as good ones. This isn't a PR board. If your experience with a firm changed over time, say so. What was true a year ago might not be true today. Promotion & advertising Do not use this section to push a firm you're affiliated with or earning referrals from without disclosing it upfront. If you don't disclose and we find out, the post goes and so do you. Referral links get removed without warning. DMing members to push a firm or deal off the back of their posts will get you banned. Posting standards When sharing an experience, include the basics: firm name, account size, challenge type, how long you've been with them, and whether you've been paid out. When discussing a firm's rules or model, be precise about which account type and which version of the rules. Firms update their conditions regularly. Industry news is welcome, but add your own take. A copy-paste of a press release isn't a discussion. If you're speculating about a firm's practices or financial health, label it as speculation. Other things that'll get your post removed Fake reviews, positive or negative. If it looks planted, it goes. Rumours presented as confirmed information. Posts from people visibly affiliated with a competing firm. Warnings for minor stuff, bans for anything deliberate or repeated.
