Still open Goat Funded Trader's replies say its coordinated trading findings rest on matching trades, IP-related connections and other account and trading data, and that it cannot disclose its detection methods or details of other accounts. Several traders say they were sent a report of matching trades, and they dispute it. Does the firm ever show a trader the evidence behind the IP and other grounds it names, and is any payout that reviewers say was refused over coordinated trading ever paid?

The Pulse

Direction of travel, not a verdict.
Goat Funded TraderLosing

Traders keep reporting payouts refused or held over a coordinated or copy trading finding, and the firm answers most of them on the record without offering a payout.

FundingPipsLosing

Reviews posted on a single day report accounts breached, blocked, closed or suspended over news most of them say was not rated red or top impact, alongside more reports of accounts terminated or blocked over device matches.

Lucid TradingLosing

Traders describe bans or closures over a chargeback they dispute, most saying they never filed one, alongside separate bans or closures citing cross-user activity, some as a payout was due.

Hola PrimeGrowing

The firm says it removed three rules from every active challenge and funded account automatically, with nothing to buy or reset.

TopstepLosing

The firm answers nearly every five star review, many with the same stock lines, and almost none of its one star ones, and it answered none of the account closure or ban reports.

The5ersStable

Among the reviews pulled, every reply went to a four or five star review and none to a critical one, with all but one of the skipped complaints landing before its last logged reply.

Apex Trader FundingStable

Among the reviews pulled, its only replies were one template posted to eight positive reviews inside three minutes, with nothing to the purchase block reports.

TradeifyGrowing

Verified on-chain payouts rose more in dollars than at any other board firm with a PayoutJunction reading, and it opened a free to enter league with a seven figure pool.

Trade The PoolStable

A trader puts a payout refused as a terms breach at five figures, and a review reporting a frozen account went unanswered for days while positive reviews got replies.

Atmos FundedStable

A published reply opens with a line about revising it to sound more genuine.

Instant FundingStable

Every review in the window drew a reply, and some name the account and the exact breach margin.

Equity EdgeGrowing

Reviewers report payouts rejected or withheld, at least two of them citing an impulsive trading reason.

Moneta FundedStable

The firm answers most of its reviews individually rather than by template, including critical ones.

Goat Funded FuturesGrowing

A one phase plan with payouts every day and no consistency rule on the funded account went live on the firm's own page.

Funded Trading PlusStable

A pay on pass account puts the entry cost at a few dollars, with the balance due only when the trader passes.

For TradersGrowing

In the reviews pulled, the firm answers only its critical ones, reinstated one account and corrected a figure its support team had quoted.

Rules Apex Trader Funding says Legacy accounts are going away, about four weeks after bringing them back.

Rules Funded Trading Plus launches Activation Accounts: $4 starts a challenge and the activation fee falls due on a pass. The firm says $4 starts a $25K, $50K or $100K challenge, and a trader who passes then pays an activation fee before the funded account is issued. $4 to start, balance due on passing Sep 21
Rules Hola Prime removes three trading rules, including the 60% profit concentration rule. The firm's own video of Sept 15 and its X post of Sept 18 say the 60% per-trade profit concentration rule, the 70% margin limit per trade and the 3-minute stop-loss deadline are removed, applied automatically to every active challenge and funded account with nothing to buy or reset. 3 rules removed, applied automatically Sep 15
