the review sites are useless, half affiliate links and half astroturf. so lets build something real here: post your genuine experience with any prop firm you've actually traded with. the firm, how long, whether you got funded, and crucially whether you actually withdrew. no affiliate links, no firm shilling, just lived experience so newcomers have something honest to read.

the entity mismatch is exactly how people get burned. they see fca on the site, deposit, and only when something goes wrong discover their contract was with a seychelles or saint vincent entity. read the client agreement and find the sentence that names who you are actually contracting with. that name goes in the regulators search box.
