FTUK 40% Off Forex Instant Accounts Upfront Cost

Absolutely hands down the recommended firm FTUK

Today requested my first payout. This shouldn't be a stressful process, but for many people, it is when they deal with a prop firms.
Straight-to-the-point: I asked for payment this afternoon and received it 2 hours later 👍. Simple account dashboard with lots of necessary info so as long as you follow the rules (clearly stated) you will be fine.

Before buying an Instant Funding account, I described my exact strategy to FTUK support in writing: a basket of up to 4 same-size entries spaced by ATR, with a shared stop loss and take profit. On 8 September 2026 they replied that it was permitted, that it was "scaling into a position (...) which is permitted", and told me to "retain this email as written confirmation of our assessment".
I traded exactly that way, reached profit, and requested a payout. FTUK refused it, citing "anti-scaling": adding positions while earlier ones are in loss. That is precisely what the strategy they approved does. They also cited 7 trades under 30 seconds. All 7 closed at a loss (-44 USD in total) and added no profit. I openly offered to have them excluded.
Their only offer was a free retake, under conditions that ban the very strategy they had approved.
FTUK sends very aggressive discount codes every few days (50% off). After this experience, in my opinion those discounts say a lot: selling accounts is easy, paying traders is where the problems start.
If a prop firm's written pre-approval means nothing at payout time, there is no way to trade with confidence. I do not recommend this firm to anyone who is serious about trading.
Update (12 Nov 2026): Everything stated in this review is real and can be proven. I hold FTUK's written approval of the strategy, dated 8 September 2026, and the full correspondence about the refused payout. I am not posting links or documents here because it is not allowed, but if Trustpilot requests them I will send everything privately.
I am part of a trading community of more than 1,000 traders. I have shared this case with them and the reaction has been outrage: they find it totally unacceptable and see it as a typical case of a firm that does not respect the trader, relying on very aggressive offers to collect traders' money and then avoiding payouts at all costs. In our community's ranking of prop firms, FTUK has dropped to one of the last places.

Would recommend it to everyone

FTUK has been awesome to be acquainted with. Their rules are pretty straightforward, and transparent. Been with them now for 2 weeks and no suspicious activity in terms of breaches and unnecessary violations.
Their customer service has been exceptional. James has been amazing with quick responses and solid service delivery.
Thank you and look forward to my first payout.
