    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. Not sure if something fits here, message a mod before posting. — ForexRoasted Team

    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 broker reviews, comparisons, complaints, and general discussion about trading conditions. If you've had a real experience with a broker - good or bad - this is the place to talk about it. Before posting, it's worth checking if we've already reviewed the broker you're asking about - we cover the most commonly used ones and flag anything worth knowing upfront: forexroasted.com/brokers Basic conduct Keep it factual. If a broker screwed you over, say exactly what happened: dates, account type, what support said. A detailed complaint is useful. "They're a scam" with nothing behind it isn't. No personal attacks on other members. Disagree with someone's broker choice all you want, just don't make it personal. Don't dismiss people's bad experiences because you've had a different one. Both can be true at the same time. Promotion & advertising Do not promote a broker, IB deal, referral link, or affiliate offer without admin approval. This includes posting your ref link "just to share," recommending the same broker across multiple threads, or creating threads that are clearly just lead generation. If you work for or are affiliated with a broker you're discussing, say so upfront. Astroturfing gets you permanently banned. Unsolicited DMs pushing broker sign-ups will result in an immediate ban. Posting standards When reviewing a broker, give actual context - how long you've traded with them, what account type, which platform, and what region you're in. Conditions vary. Don't post unverified withdrawal issues as confirmed scams without evidence. Accusations stick, so make sure yours are backed up. Regulation status matters - mention it when it's relevant. There's a difference between an FCA-regulated broker and an offshore one, and people deserve to know which they're dealing with. Other things that'll get your post removed Fake reviews - positive or negative. If it looks planted, it goes. Discussing brokers that have nothing to do with retail forex trading. Posting broker promotions, bonus offers, or contest announcements without admin sign-off. Warnings for minor stuff, bans for anything deliberate or repeated. Not sure if something crosses the line —> message a mod before posting. — ForexRoasted Team

    Picking a broker is probably the most important decision you'll make as a trader. There's no shortage of options, and half of them will either requote you to death or bury you in fees you didn't see coming. We've looked at a lot of brokers, here is the rating, by the way. The one we're comfortable putting our name behind is Ultima Markets. Full review here: forexroasted.com/brokers/ultimamarkets-review Why we're recommending them and not someone else Most affiliate setups in this industry work like this: you click someone's referral link, they get a commission, and you get a marked-up spread baked into your account without ever knowing about it. You're paying for the referral whether you like it or not. Our link doesn't work that way. There's no markup on your account. You get the exact same conditions you'd get going directly to their site — same spreads, same account type, same everything. The only difference is we get a small flat commission from the broker side, which helps keep this forum running. You lose literally nothing. Sign up through our link: THE LINK If you've traded with them already — good or bad — drop your experience in this section. That's more useful to people here than anything we can write. — ForexRoasted Team
