Hantec Trader reviewer reports $3,006 Instant24 payout denial under T&C clause 7.2.C.xv overleveraging rule

Aug 19 PropFirmMatch review (Husain, LB, $100K Instant24, reached payout: No, satisfaction 1.0): reviewer reports 36 trades, 86.1% win rate, 6.93 profit factor, and says Hantec rejected a $3,006 payout citing "overleveraging" under T&C clause 7.2.C.xv on 2 of the 36 trades, both ETHUSD opened on a Sunday at roughly 96% margin usage per the reviewer's PFM denial report, refunded only the entry fee and withheld the profit. Reviewer states a formal settlement request and a complaint to regulatory bodies are filed; the PFM report attaches 3 supporting documents. Theme corroboration is prior-window only: TheTrustedProp's evergreen Hantec review reports multiple Trustpilot accounts of Instant24 payout denials tied to scalping or slippage rules and an 85% margin-usage rule, PFM's 50-review summary says some traders report the leverage rule applied retroactively, and the June 30 Reddit denial thread was priced into the red flag on 08-10. The only other in-window PFM review (Aug 18, 4.0 stars) says the margin/leverage rule was recently lifted, so this is 1 in-window complaint, not a cluster: heat 1. Drama platform enum lacks PropFirmMatch (08-10 and 08-15 Equity Edge precedent); route as news_event type warning, not drama_story, and capture the review as a receipt screenshot before publishing.

Five describe the firm's own calendar: one says it marked the same event restricted, one says the event appeared about 30 minutes later, one says medium events are treated as high-impact, one says the dashboard calendar showed no data, one says it listed only low-impact news. The firm has not replied to any of the 120 reviews pulled.

Goat Funded Trader: 22 traders since Sept 5 say payouts were refused or held over alleged coordinated or copy trading, one over $9,000

22 Trustpilot reviewers since Sept 5 say a payout was refused or held over a coordinated or copy trading finding; 21 dispute it and 16 say their account was closed, blocked or breached. Eight attach a sum, from over $9,000 (ZYAD MOURADE, GB, Sep 9) and $6,996 (Sep 7, CH) down to $1,000. The firm replied publicly to 19; none offers a payout. Most back the finding: a verified reviewer (IN, Sep 9) was told the Risk Team "identified activity consistent with coordinated trading across multiple accounts", and Asiman Ahmad (DE, Sep 6), who says the firm's log gave him no Copy tag, was told that alone does not settle it. One only asks for account details; one says the account is still under review.
