🚨 RUN WHILE YOU STILL CAN
🚨 RUN WHILE YOU STILL CAN! THEY WILL ROB YOUR TIME AND MONEY! 🚨
If you are thinking about buying a challenge or trusting this prop firm with your capital, STOP IMMEDIATELY. This is a massive red flag and a real warning about how this platform operates to ensure you NEVER see a single dime of your payouts.
They are experts at marketing a dream, but when it’s time to cash out, they turn into a predatory machine designed to invent any excuse to steal your hard-earned profits. Here is exactly how they rig the game:
1. The Payout Illusion: Moving Goalposts & Phantom Rules
Forget about getting paid. You can pass their evaluation flawlessly, manage your risk perfectly, and follow every single written guideline to the letter. But the moment you hit that payout button, they will magically invent non-existent rules. They change their terms and conditions on the fly, applying retroactive restrictions that were never there when you paid for the challenge fee.
2. The IP Frame-Up & Endless KYC Loops
If you somehow manage to navigate their hidden traps and successfully request your profit split, they immediately switch to Plan B to lock you out of your funds:
Fake IP Violations: They will falsely accuse you of "IP sharing," "crossed IPs," or using third-party account management without providing a single shred of actual technical evidence, wiping out your balance instantly.
KYC Sabotage: They will trap you in a never-ending verification loop. They will demand absurd documentation, selfies at ridiculous angles, and repetitive forms over and over again just to freeze your account and mentally drain you until you give up.
3. Rigged Market Execution & Killer Spreads
Trading on their platform is playing a rigged game with loaded dice. Despite what they advertise, they hit you with insane, manipulated spreads across all markets that eat up your margins instantly. Even worse, their charts suffer from artificial price spikes and phantom candles that do not exist on any real, regulated liquidity feed. These spikes are triggered deliberately to hunt your Stop Loss, blow your daily drawdown limits, and terminate your funded status.
❌ FINAL VERDICT: DO NOT WASTE YOUR CAPITAL
This is not a legitimate prop firm looking to back talented traders; it is a cash-grab operation. Their entire business model relies on pocketing your challenge fees and using backend manipulation to avoid paying out successful traders.
Do not fall for the trap. Protect your capital, protect your sanity, and look for transparent, highly-reviewed firms. Stay far away!
scam
Let's talk logically now, if any of you understand logic. If I receive the same responses as before, I'll know the company is a bunch of fools, and I won't listen to you anymore. I'll only try to further tarnish your already damaged reputation because of these decisions.
First, any of you can contact me, and I'll show you that I've never had two accounts simultaneously to open counter-trades. I always work with only one account until it's burned, then I buy another.
Second, I know the rules of counter-trades very well, and I know I haven't followed them. If I had, I wouldn't be saying anything.
Third, in your responses to prove I opened counter-trades, you only sent two trades. First, their opening times are different. Second, their closing times are different. Third, the lot sizes are different, meaning there's no loss protection. The contract size in my account is ten times that of the other account.
To clarify further, the account you sent, supposedly with which I opened two counter-trades, isn't in my name, my family name, or my friends' names. It might not even be from my country. You didn't tell me the account's nationality. I'm from Morocco, and the second account might be from another country I know nothing about. Something
So, if I were to open a lot of 1 and 10 minutes later someone opens a lot of 0.1, that's normal. I can't prevent the world from opening a lot of 0.1 against me. If both accounts were in my name, yes, it would be a rule violation, but two different lot trades at different times, and I don't even know which country the account is from, for you to consider it a crossover trade, you're either being idiots or calling me an idiot because this nonsense is completely unbelievable.
Just answer me this: if someone in Morocco opens a buy lot of 1 and 10 minutes later someone in India, for example, opens a sell lot of 0.1, would that be considered crossover trading? People, everyone has their own perspective on the market. Have mercy on us!
email :
I want just one yes or no answer. If you have any sense, if I open a buy position of 1 lot with a risk of $2000, and 10 minutes later someone in India (or I don't know which other country) opens a sell position of 0.1 lot with a risk of $200, would you consider this a reverse trade, even though it's 10 times the risk and at a different time? If no, give me my money back. If yes, may God curse you, because it's theft.
Hello,
Thank you for your detailed response.
We understand that you strongly disagree with the outcome, and we appreciate you taking the time to explain your perspective. We have reviewed the case again carefully.
Our decisions are not based on a single isolated factor such as country, exact lot size, or identical timestamps alone. Our risk systems review the broader trading behaviour and overall coordination patterns across accounts. In your case, the review identified activity that matched prohibited Group Hedging / Reverse Trading indicators under our risk framework.
We understand your argument however, the Group Hedging rule does not require trades to be perfectly mirrored in size, timing, or ownership identity to qualify as prohibited activity. The assessment is based on the overall coordinated nature and correlation of the opposing positions identified by the risk review.
We also understand your point regarding personal relationships or nationality of the compared account. Please note that violations of this nature are not determined solely by whether accounts belong to family members, friends, or traders from the same country. The analysis focuses on the trading behaviour itself and the relationship between the positions executed across accounts.
Regarding refunds, as outlined in our Terms and Conditions, we are unable to issue refunds or reinstate accounts where prohibited activity has been confirmed following review.
As referenced in Clause 11.2 of our Terms & Conditions:
“Should a Trader engage in any prohibited trading practices, Instant Funding may remove the relevant transactions, exclude associated results, and/or terminate all services provided to the Trader.”
You can review the full trading rules here:

We fully understand that you disagree with the conclusion reached. However, after multiple reviews, the decision remains final and we will not be able to reverse the outcome on the account.
Kind regards,
Instant Funding Team
Instant Funding is removing my negative…
Instant Funding is removing my negative reviews over they scammed me out of $300 with IF1 "1 Day Trade Account" which wasnt stated in the email special sent by them. Add this bad review so others dont get scammed
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Ryan. We would like to address your concerns regarding your IF1 purchase and provide clarity on our account models.
To clarify the structural terms of the IF1 (1-Day Trade Account) model:
Account Design: The IF1 account is explicitly structured as a high-pace, 24-hour evaluation model. It is designed for short-duration strategies and is clearly designated as such on our official product pages and within our help documentation.
Onboarding and Transparency: While promotional emails highlight active marketing specials or discount codes, all core trading rules, expiry parameters, and contract terms are permanently hosted on our storefront and checkout pages. It remains the responsibility of the trader to review the specific product rules before completing a transaction.
Refund Eligibility: According to our Terms and Conditions, once a live market execution or trade has been initiated on any given dashboard, the account is fully activated. Beyond this point, we cannot issue standard refunds or store credit, a policy applied uniformly to protect the operational parameters of our funded programs.
We understand your frustration regarding the quick expiry of this specific evaluation type. However, our compliance guidelines and refund parameters are strictly enforced across all user profiles, and we cannot alter standard company policy in response to reputational or legal escalations.
We note that your case has been definitively evaluated by our support and compliance departments, and our final stance regarding this account remains unchanged.

Account #8087332 – $3,125 payout denied after profitable trading and approved KYC I am publishing
Account #8087332 – $3,125 payout denied after profitable trading and approved KYC
My experience:
– Multiple challenge fees were accepted by the company
– Trading activity was fully permitted over an extended period
– KYC verification was successfully completed and approved on my main trading account
– No restrictions, warnings, or compliance notifications were issued during active trading
– Profit was generated under normal trading conditions
– Only after a payout request was submitted did compliance concerns begin to appear
Throughout the dispute, the explanations provided by the company changed over time and included: – UK geolocation / VPN risk signals
– Shared device or network environment
– Multiple identities
– Multiple dashboards/accounts
– Later: “multiple KYC profiles” linked to the same device environment
In later responses, the company clarified that: – the VPN/geolocation issue was only a “risk signal” and not a confirmed violation
– KYC approval remained valid at onboarding stage
– compliance reviews are often finalized during payout-stage audits
– “the review was triggered by the payout request”
– “the review process is independent of account activity and operates on its own timeline”
It is important to clarify several facts:
– only one account was ever KYC-verified and used for trading under my identity
– all trading activity was conducted by me personally
– trading was performed from a single device and environment
– there was no copy trading, simultaneous trading, account management, or coordinated activity between traders
– the second email/account referenced by the company was never KYC-verified or used as a funded verified trading profile
The company’s final position is that the issue relates to account structure and shared device linkage under their internal interpretation of “multiple identities” and risk policy enforcement.
However, the core concern remains the timing and consistency of enforcement.
If the company considered this structure to be a critical compliance violation, then: – why were payments continuously accepted, – why was KYC approved, – why was trading activity fully allowed, – and why were no restrictions or warnings applied before profitable trading and payout eligibility were reached?
Another important concern is that the platform rules do not appear to contain a direct and explicit prohibition clearly stating that a user may not register more than one account/email belonging to themselves in the straightforward manner used by some other prop firms.
Instead, the interpretation was applied broadly during payout review after trading activity had already been completed.
This creates the appearance of delayed or retrospective enforcement rather than a restriction clearly enforced during onboarding or active trading.
Throughout the dispute process, the company’s responses focused primarily on justifying the payout denial rather than resolving the inconsistencies raised during the dispute.
Despite multiple requests for clarification, no technical evidence, detailed audit timeline, timestamps, or specific detection data were provided regarding when the alleged violation was identified and why no enforcement action occurred earlier during onboarding, KYC approval, or active trading.
I also want to note that each time I posted reviews regarding this experience, the company flagged them through Trustpilot as allegedly “not based on a genuine experience,” which temporarily removed them from public view.
In each case, I provided supporting documentation to Trustpilot confirming my trading relationship and account activity with Instant Funding, and the reviews were reinstated following Trustpilot’s verification process.
For transparency purposes, I will also be publishing a detailed YouTube video covering the full timeline of this case, including the complete email correspondence and responses provided throughout the dispute process.
Given the absence of a transparent resolution process and the lack of detailed supporting evidence provided during the dispute, I am currently reviewing additional consumer and payment-related dispute options available to me and intend to continue documenting how this case evolves over time.
I am not publishing this review to make emotional accusations, but to provide a factual, documented account of how this case was handled from onboarding through payout denial.
Thank you for sharing your final documented account of your experience with Account #8087332. We acknowledge your perspective on the sequence of events and your decision to pursue further transparency through other platforms.
To address the core concerns, you’ve raised for the benefit of the community:
Payout-Stage Audits: It is a standard industry practice for proprietary trading firms to conduct a comprehensive, manual audit of all data, including network logs, device IDs, and account linkages, at the payout stage. While automated systems permit onboarding and KYC based on documentation, the manual review ensures that the entire lifecycle of the account adheres to our risk framework before funds are distributed.
Multiple Identities Policy: Our policies regarding "Multiple Identities" and "Shared Device Environments" are designed to prevent the circumvention of maximum capital limits. When our systems detect multiple dashboards or email registrations linked to a single hardware footprint, it is flagged as a structural risk.
Rule Enforcement: We understand your point regarding the timing of enforcement. Our risk reviews operate on a timeline triggered by payout requests to ensure that all generated profits comply with our Terms and Conditions.
Transparency and Dispute Handling: We acknowledge your request for technical data. However, to maintain the security and effectiveness of our fraud detection systems, we do not disclose specific internal detection methodologies.
We respect your right to document your journey. As previously communicated, the decision regarding the termination of this account and the denial of the $3,125 payout is final based on the confirmed violation of our structural account policies. We have noted your intent regarding further dispute options and will remain consistent in our position should those inquiries arise.
