FundingTraders 35% Off Evaluation Accounts and 100% Profit Split

Hey Trader,
Your review is misleading, and here are the facts.
Facts of the case:
> Account Type: Instant Funded Account.
> Recorded Violation: Holding open positions during the weekend market close.
> The Discrepancy: You mentioned a $10 loss on a $30 daily drawdown limit. However, your account was not failed due to drawdown. Our Risk Department logs confirm that your account was automatically flagged and closed because positions remained active past the Friday deadline.

> Technical Detection: Our automated monitoring system detected open trades on your account ID at the Friday market close. Per our protocols, all positions must be fully closed at least one hour before the market shuts down to prevent exposure to weekend volatility.

Our resolution:
The account was failed in direct accordance with our Terms of Service regarding Instant Funded accounts. This specific rule—prohibiting weekend holds—is clearly outlined in our Help Center.
This policy is not arbitrary, it is a vital safety measure designed to protect our capital and your account from "gap risk." When markets reopen on Sunday, prices often jump significantly, which can bypass stop-losses and lead to losses far exceeding your drawdown limit. By enforcing this rule, we ensure that all traders are practicing professional risk management rather than gambling on weekend news events.
Lesson for traders:
> Know Your Account Rules: Instant Funded accounts have different restrictions than Evaluation accounts. Always verify if your specific plan allows for weekend holds.
> Watch the Clock: Set an alarm for Friday afternoon. All positions, including crypto, must be closed one hour before the official market close.
> Respect the Gap: Rules regarding weekend closures exist to promote longevity in trading and protect against unpredictable market openings.
While we understand the frustration of losing an account, our procedures are applied consistently and fairly to every trader based on hard data and server logs. Blaming the platform for a clear violation of agreed-upon trading rules does not change the outcome of the investigation.
This decision is final and is in line with our established rules.

Hey Trader,
Your review is misleading regarding our risk management policies—here are the facts.
Facts of the case:
> Account Type: $1,000 Instant Funded Account.
> Breach Metric: Maximum Risk Limit (1% of initial balance).
> Recorded Violation: You admitted the account value reached $989. On a $1,000 account, the maximum allowed risk is exactly $10. By reaching $989, your equity dropped by $11, which is an automated breach of the 1% limit.
> Rule Awareness: The Maximum Risk Limit is a standard requirement for all Instant Funded accounts and is clearly defined in our Help Center and Terms of Service.

Our resolution:
Our Risk Department and Compliance Team reviewed the automated server logs, which confirmed that your floating PnL exceeded the 1% threshold. This rule is implemented to ensure long-term sustainability and to encourage disciplined position sizing, especially on accounts where capital is provided instantly without a prior evaluation phase. Because the system detected a breach of the agreed-upon risk parameters, the account was automatically closed.
Conclusion:
The closure of your account was not arbitrary or related to the timing of the CPI news, it was a direct result of the equity falling below the $990 minimum threshold ($1,000 initial balance minus $10 max risk). Our systems monitor equity fluctuations in real-time to maintain firm-wide risk standards. Decisions regarding rule violations are based strictly on data logs and established procedures.
Lesson for traders:
> Always calculate your Maximum Risk Limit based on the initial account balance, not the daily drawdown limit.
> Monitor your floating PnL (equity) closely, as the breach occurs the moment the limit is touched, regardless of whether the trade is closed or if a stop-loss is set.
> Ensure you fully understand the specific rules of the "Instant Funded" model, as they differ from "Evaluation" models to protect the immediate capital provided.
FundingTraders follows strict, consistent, and fair procedures for all traders to ensure a level playing field. This decision is final and in line with our rules.
