DNA FUNDED is genuinely a really strong firm. I started with them back in September, and by October I received my first trading account. After that, I stayed consistent—passed the evaluation, and started making payouts from my account.
One thing I truly like is how fast they respond. When I mailed them, they replied within minutes, no delay at all. Their support team is simply too good, and the communication feels smooth and professional.
Their rules also matter a lot. Because of their guidelines, I became more disciplined with my trading, and that discipline helped me perform better. Overall, I’m still trading with DNA FUNDED, and I’ll keep going because they are seriously supportive and they listen to their members.
Thank you for giving us the chance to grow in this field. Thanks, DNA!

⚠️ Important Warning to Traders About DNA Funded
I don’t normally write posts like this, but what happened with DNA Funded is honestly unacceptable. I had put in the work, got through their requirements, and—after everything was going well—my accounts were suddenly deactivated. On top of that, my payout was denied based on a claim of “account coordination,” which, in my case, was completely baseless.
Here’s the part that matters:
– I traded my accounts independently.
– I followed the rules.
– There was no misconduct on my side.So how did this end up with a shutdown and a denied payout? Without any real proof or evidence presented, they made the decision anyway.
What really bothered me was the process. There was no concrete evidence shared—nothing specific that I could actually review. No solid explanation, either. On their end, it felt like there was zero transparency, and I wasn’t given a fair opportunity to respond or defend myself.
I even told them I was ready to fully cooperate with an investigation. Still, it didn’t seem to matter. It genuinely felt like the outcome was decided from the start, regardless of the truth.
This isn’t what professionalism looks like. A legitimate prop firm should be able to explain concerns clearly and back them up with something verifiable. Denying payouts without solid evidence doesn’t just sting—it destroys trust, period. And if they can do this to one trader, they can do it to anyone.
If you’re considering DNA Funded, please be careful with where you invest your time, effort, and money.

I’m giving DNA a 0 out of 5 rating (0/5). Honestly, it’s one of the most frustrating experiences I’ve had with a prop firm.
I made a pretty simple mistake during account creation: I used a nickname instead of the exact name on my ID card. I figured it would be a minor correction, but when I got to the payout stage, they accused me of having a secondary account just because another account existed under my real name.
That logic doesn’t hold up at all. Judging multiple accounts purely based on names is unprofessional, and it’s not how KYC or account verification should work. They should verify things using proper documentation, not assumptions. And to make it worse, there was no IP match or any real evidence connecting the accounts together.
I tried KYC 2–3 separate times, but it kept failing. Instead of helping me figure out what was wrong, they suddenly emailed me saying my account was suspended from payouts. When I checked my dashboard, the payout option was fully blocked—while my funded account was still showing around 5% profit.
What really bothered me is the total lack of transparency. They never gave a clear reason, any supporting proof, or anything that explained what triggered the restriction. No evidence, no proper support—just a straight block.
To be fair, I previously failed a 5K 2-step challenge with DNA, but I came back, passed again, and everything looked fine. Then this small name mismatch issue apparently turned into full account termination. That’s simply not acceptable.
Compared to other top prop firms—like Funded Hive or Goat Funded Trader—this is a totally different level. Those companies handle minor issues more professionally and resolve them quickly. DNA, on the other hand, seems to overreact and treat small mistakes like deal breakers.
I’m sharing my honest experience so other traders can make an informed choice. Avoid DNA. They lack fairness, overextend on decisions, and don’t provide proper support when it matters.
I’ll definitely post this on Trustpilot and other platforms as well.
In my opinion, DNA doesn’t deserve even a 1 out of 10.
At the end of the day, it’s your choice—but if you can get better reliability and professionalism at a similar price, I’d strongly recommend going with another prop firm.
Stay happy, stay blessed.

Every payout ends up being 0, and it’s not hard to see why. They constantly seem to bend the rules, and then act surprised when you try to follow the actual process.
Also, what exactly is the 40% supposed to be calculated from, according to the regulations? Because in practice, that number is nowhere clearly defined. Honestly, it feels like a joke—most of the rules contradict each other, so you never really get a straight answer. One guideline says one thing, and another immediately undercuts it.

I’ve been trading with DNA Prop Firm for a while now, and overall I’d say the experience is mostly positive, though it definitely isn’t perfect. The biggest strength for me has been the support team— they’re very responsive and easy to reach, so when something comes up, it doesn’t feel like you’re stuck waiting days to get an answer.
That said, there are a few areas you should know about before you jump in:
– **Hedging restrictions can be strict, sometimes too strict.** For instance, multi-asset hedging may get flagged even when the positions are built around a sound, fundamental approach. In practice, you can run into situations where the platform treats two correlated exposures as “hedge” logic, even if your intention wasn’t to hedge in the usual sense. A simple example: you might get blocked from taking **CADCHF long** while also taking **USDCAD long**, because it effectively creates “long and short” CAD exposure, and the system flags that as hedging.
– **Certain strategies get labeled “martingale” even when they aren’t.** This one caused me a real problem back in **February**. A strategy I was using was controlled risk and fairly structured (including **split-entry** style execution), but it still got flagged as martingale. The frustrating part is that it can basically wipe out the profit and block any payout reset—so instead of getting the chance to recover from a clean slate, the account gets treated as if the rules were breached. In my case, the account was still valid, but the outcome was rough.
– **Support doesn’t always address the core concern right away.** Sometimes their responses lean heavily on rules and policy wording, without fully engaging with the actual strategy logic you’re explaining. It’s not that they’re wrong—more that it can feel like they’re answering the “what” instead of the “why” behind your specific setup.
Even with those issues, the story does improve if you work with them. By collaborating closely with the team and submitting a detailed breakdown of how I execute trades and manage risk, I eventually got the risk team to approve my approach. After that, I did receive payouts successfully—so there’s a clear path forward if you’re willing to adjust and prove your process.
**Bottom line:** I can recommend DNA Prop Firm, but only with one caveat—make sure you go through every rule and hedging/martingale concern with support, then adapt your strategy to fit their interpretation. I’m planning to keep testing this going forward and I hope to confirm the positive payout trend with future results.

I was pretty shocked when my account was flagged and apparently breached, especially since I never went over the daily loss limit or hit my total loss cap. The rules are clear, so I can’t see why the system would treat my activity as a breach.
If anyone’s reviewing this, I’d really like a detailed explanation of what triggered it—because based on what I experienced, nothing I did should’ve violated the limits. Honestly, it felt unfair and confusing.

***Update*** (as of 4/13/26)
I’ll be honest: I’m pleased to report that DNA Funded finally completed my full payout. After sticking strictly to their trading hours, the daily profit cap, and the total amount I requested, I received a complete payment equal to my profit share—80% of the profits for my portion. DNA Funded also paid the correct figure based on my daily gains, and I verified it manually again myself just to be extra sure.
With that said, I’m updating my rating to **4 stars**. The main reason is that the team did show real effort in correcting previous issues and providing more transparent results.
_____________________________________________________
Original concern (now being addressed)
I was happy to update once an issue is resolved, but until this point, I had asked multiple times—about **three** separate requests—for an explanation of the trades included in the most recent payout. The amount paid out didn’t seem to match my P&L calendar and the profit distribution rules tied to my account.
Per my understanding of their structure: there’s a **5% profit cap** with a **30% profit distribution max**. So if the profit cap is, say, **$2,500**, then the maximum profit distribution should be **30% of that**, or **$750**.
Support told me the daily calculation uses **GMT+3** as their cutoff time for assessing daily profits, instead of the timeframe shown on the trader’s own P&L calendar or what aligns with the daily reset countdown. If that’s accurate, I don’t think it’s clearly stated anywhere, and that would make the P&L calendar kind of misleading—at least without that timezone context.
To test whether support was right, I converted all of my trades to **GMT+3** and tried to reconcile it that way. Here’s the example they gave (and it matches what’s been described in prior Trustpilot reviews and on their site):
– If profit cap (5%) is **$2,500**, I can’t effectively count more than **30%** of it in a single day for distribution purposes.
– Profit distribution max would be **$750**.
– If I make **$1,000** on Day 1, the “excess” **$250** wouldn’t be included in payout calculations.
– If Day 2 is **$700** and Day 3 is **$900**, the eligible amount would be: **$750 + $700 + $750 = $2,200**.
– Then the payout amount should be **80% of $2,200**.That’s the framework they’re using, and it’s consistent with the rules they’ve communicated before.
Mistakes can happen, of course. Still, I’ve been frustrated because they’ve twice now sent me what felt like **random lists of numbers** and random amounts, telling me my account was “breached,” and that they removed the “breached amount.” The problem is: my payout was approved, yet only part of it was actually paid out—so the explanation didn’t add up based on the figures I was given.
For now, I’m giving them credit for finally making this right and backing it up with results I can verify.

I want to share my experience with DNA Funded, because after what happened to me, I honestly feel other traders should know the risk here.
I got profitable and submitted a withdrawal request. Shortly after that, my accounts were suddenly put under review by their Risk Team. Not long after the review started, my payout was denied and every account I had was permanently closed. And once they do that, you can’t just keep trading on a different account—everything tied to you is shut down as well.
Their stated reason was that I allegedly violated rules around hedging, martingale trading, and gap trading. The issue is that the explanation they used didn’t really line up with the definitions they themselves provided earlier in an email to me.
For instance, they defined hedging as:
“Hedging involves using the same or multiple accounts to execute opposing trades on identical instruments with similar lot sizes.”
But later, they labeled situations like **BTC short vs MU long**, **BTC short vs Gold long**, and **BTC short vs Oil long** as “hedging.” Those are totally different instruments. So unless their definition changed somewhere between emails, that contradicts what they previously told me.
They also accused me of martingale trading. According to their rules, martingale is about doubling (or significantly increasing) lot sizes with exponentially growing risk. Yet their own examples of “martingale” were more like **2 → 2.5 → 3.5**—which, to me, looks like standard position adjustment rather than the classic martingale behavior.
Finally, they claimed I was doing gap trading. In reality, the trade they pointed to was opened about **one hour before the market closed**, with a **predefined TP and SL**. The take profit hit at the next market open only because price moved sharply overnight. That’s not the same as opening a trade right before or right after the open to exploit a gap—at least not how gap trading is generally understood.
What really stood out to me is how the interpretation of their rules seemed to shift once I became profitable and requested a withdrawal. Before that, everything looked fine. Afterward, suddenly the Risk Team found “violations,” denied the payout, and closed all linked accounts.
So my advice is this: if you’re trading with them, don’t assume that following the written rules is enough. During a risk review, they may reinterpret what you did. And once they decide to close you, they’ll close everything connected to your account too—meaning you lose access completely.
From my perspective, this looks like a **complete scam**.

I tried to access your platform, but the pop-up ad for the “50k giveaway” keeps interrupting everything. It won’t stop, and honestly it makes the site feel unusable. I attempted to dismiss it and continue, but it kept popping back up at the worst times.
On top of that, I also tried joining a tournament, and I couldn’t get in—something seems off on the navigation or loading. I’m struggling to fix it on my end, even after trying a few different approaches, so I’m hoping you can look into it ASAP.
Please address the pop-up issue and the tournament access problem. Thanks.

It’s honestly pretty baffling that this firm still isn’t listed on PFM. I mean, once you look into how they operate, it’s clear they should’ve been on there already.
For starters, after you pass their evaluation, they move you straight onto a live account while you’re still in the funded stage. That’s a big green flag, because it usually signals a more serious setup—specifically, that they’re likely to A-book traders once someone shows they can stay consistently profitable.
On top of that, my first payout just came in about two weeks ago. The approval process was fast: roughly 3 hours to process the request, and then around 24 hours for the funds to land in my crypto wallet. Overall, the experience has been smooth, and I genuinely think these guys are doing things the right way.

DNA Funded quickly became one of my favorite firms, mainly because the rules are laid out clearly right on their website. It’s refreshingly simple, and that made it easier for me to start without overthinking everything. On top of that, their support is always available—seriously, I’ve never felt left hanging, and that definitely seals the deal.
I ❤️ DNA Funded!

DNA FUNDED had their trading platform on pause on **February 24th**. Because of that shutdown, the platform wouldn’t let trades go through, and any open positions couldn’t be managed properly—so you couldn’t reliably exit, close, or even enter trades. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to close my position in time, and that situation ultimately led to my account being terminated.
The next day, I reached out to the DNA support team. I got a reply quickly—David, who works in support, responded within minutes of contacting me. At that point, I honestly felt like things were going to get sorted out.
David didn’t just respond—he actually fixed the problem. After this experience, I can say DNA FUNDED takes customer service seriously. Overall, this was an **amazing** experience, and I’d rate it **10/10**. If you’re a trader looking for a platform you can trust, I’d definitely recommend picking **DNA FUNDED**.

One of the best firms I’ve come across—no hidden rules, everything feels straightforward and smooth. Withdrawals/payouts have always gone through without any issues, and it’s been pretty consistent every time I’ve requested it. Also, the support team is genuinely cooperative; they respond well and help without dragging things out. Overall, it’s an easy experience.

DNA Funded is honestly one of the best prop firms I’ve tried so far. Unlike a lot of other prop firms, they use profit caps and a profit distribution rule that (in my experience) really helps prevent them from running out of liquidity. That alone makes the whole process feel a lot more stable and less stressful.
That said, I’d love to see them offer an additional model—specifically one without profit distribution—just to give traders more options depending on how they manage risk. Also, it would be great if they could add MT5 as a platform choice.
On the positive side, the Discord level feature is a nice touch, and the free accounts are genuinely appreciated. I’m hoping DNA keeps staying at the top and only improves from here.

My experience with DNA Funded has been rough, to say the least. I ran into several major platform problems—things like the site randomly freezing, information failing to load while trading, orders being submitted without any real confirmation, and even duplicate orders. In my case, those duplicate trades directly contributed to losses, so it’s not just a minor inconvenience.
Naturally, I contacted support to request a refund. It feels unfair that technical issues should cause a challenge to fail, especially since I haven’t seen these kinds of problems on other platforms. Honestly, the whole situation has been pretty frustrating and stressful.
Support’s main suggestion was to use a VPN. That didn’t sit well with me, because my internet connection works fine. I shouldn’t have to pay extra for a VPN just to complete a challenge when the connection itself isn’t the issue.
I also sent my account ID and several transaction IDs to back up what happened, but they told me they couldn’t find the details. After that, I only received an email yesterday saying my challenges had failed. I’m still confused about how they couldn’t locate my account ID and the transaction IDs, especially since everything should be recorded somewhere on their end.
**Update:** The company has provided a solution.

I’ve been keeping a close eye on DNA Prop Firm for a while now, and honestly, the first thing that pops is their reputation. It’s pretty flawless. In a world where most prop firms talk big but deliver shaky results, DNA stays noticeably quiet, professional, and consistently dependable.
I’ve also checked out their community across several different servers over time, and the fact that there hasn’t been a single real red flag is hard to ignore. That kind of track record doesn’t happen by accident. It feels like they’re not just running a firm—they’re slowly building something that lasts, with trust at the center of it.
So if you’re a disciplined trader and you want a partner that actually respects your strategy and your edge, DNA is definitely worth your attention. No hype, just class.

It doesn’t look legit at all. I’ve seen these contests get started, people are invited, and then—right after the invites go out—the announcement disappears. That whole pattern feels like a setup, not a real giveaway.
So yeah, in my opinion this is a scam.

So far, I haven’t been able to reach a real person at all. Every time I try, I just get some kind of automatic reply. I’ve also got a 10k instant funding lined up and I’m about to enter a competition, so this is kind of urgent for me.
My main concern is wasting time if it turns out to be a scam. I know there are a lot of variables and I’m sure platforms can work differently than people expect, but the explanation I’m seeing isn’t very clear. For example, people keep mentioning that if you average into a negative position over a short window (like 10 minutes), you might not qualify for the payout even if your overall results are profitable.
Is that actually how it works? If I build a large payout, shouldn’t that count as winning overall, even if I had a temporary dip along the way? Right now, the rules and how they’re calculated just aren’t explained well, at least not in a way that makes me feel confident before I invest more time into this.

Working with DNA Funded has been a really positive experience overall. The rules are clear and not overly complicated, and the support team is quick to respond whenever you need help. There’s also a smooth, step-by-step process to trade, pass, and then receive your payout—nothing feels overly drawn out or confusing.
What I especially like is the way they handle consistency. The 30% consistency requirement, along with the 5% cap on the first three payouts, helps keep traders calm and makes it easier to stick to the process instead of rushing. Overall, it feels structured, fair, and pretty easy to follow.

DNA Funded is easily one of the better prop firms around right now. What stands out most to me is how flexible their rules and structure feel—especially if you’re a swing trader. Honestly, I did have a concern at first. When a firm allows that kind of flexibility, I’m always wondering how they’ll keep payouts sustainable over time.
That said, my experience has been pretty solid. I was funded with a $50,000 account. My first payout was denied, but I completely understand why—rules are rules, and in prop trading you can’t just assume everything will go through. Then I requested the second payout, and they approved it smoothly. No drama, no endless back-and-forth. It was paid out without any real hassle.
Overall, I’d highly recommend DNA Funded—**but** only if you truly understand their rules and follow them consistently. And here’s my honest suggestion to anyone reading: take what you can during the prop phase, get paid multiple times if you’re consistently profitable, and then consider moving to a live broker account once you’re confident. The reality is, if you’re repeatedly winning, prop firms eventually have to start protecting their own business model. That doesn’t mean they’re “bad,” it just means the system works that way.
Final verdict: DNA Funded looks like an excellent prop firm in the industry today. I can’t say how long they’ll stay at this level, but I hope it’s for a long time. Highly recommend them.

Setup was pretty painless. We went live quickly just by uploading our internal documentation, and it began handling tickets correctly right away. There was no need to build complicated decision trees or wire up a bunch of custom logic. It’s now managing a solid share of the incoming volume, which has noticeably helped the team stay on top of everything.

My experience with DNA Prop Firm has been pretty positive overall. From the start, they lay out the rules in a clear, no-nonsense way, and the trading conditions feel fair rather than overly restrictive. On top of that, the platform itself runs smoothly—no annoying glitches, no weird delays, just stable performance.
I also like the transparency. The evaluation process is straightforward, so you always know where you stand and what you need to do next. Execution has been solid too; trades go through properly and everything functions as expected during my sessions.
So far, this has been a reliable prop firm experience, and I’d happily recommend DNA Prop Firm to traders who want something clear, structured, and well-run.

More than 2.5% abnormal volatility showed up only on the **DNA Funded XAGUSD** chart, and it happened within **5 minutes of the Monday market open** on **January 20, 2026**.
I was in the middle of my **second phase challenge**, and honestly, I was very close to passing when this occurred. It was one of those moments that really makes you question whether the outcome is actually in your control.
I reached out to their support team to ask what caused the spike and, more importantly, what the official policy is. Unfortunately, they didn’t give a solid, technical explanation. Instead, they basically said that **holding trades over the weekend counts as a “soft breach.”**
The problem is, that rule isn’t clearly stated anywhere on their website or in their published trading rules. So from a trader’s perspective, it feels like the platform could potentially liquidate accounts with little-to-no transparency—and then point to a guideline that wasn’t obvious or explicitly documented.
That’s why I’d strongly urge traders to be careful with **DNA Funded**. If a platform can trigger abnormal price movement and then blame the trader without clear, written rules, it’s hard to see it as anything other than a waste of time and money.
**I would not recommend using DNA Funded.**

Absolutely stay away from DNAFunded—this looks a lot more like an advance-fee scam than anything legitimate. I’m not exaggerating when I say the blockchain itself tells the story.
On December 19, 2025, I sent **$113 USDT** for a “challenge account.” And yes, the transaction is on-chain. You can verify it directly on TronScan using **Transaction: 7acd4dffc19ac21946c8c965da4ad77ea279012597d52bc8dd9e577157591a8c**. The payment is confirmed and the funds were delivered.
According to the blockchain proof, **112.97 USDT** reached their wallet address: **TPywr8t9YNcnLdvL4idXLA6P3miCpAxdVB**. Still, their response was basically denial. Multiple times they claimed they “never received payment,” even after I showed them the transaction details and asked them to check the wallet on their end.
Here’s what really made this feel like a scam:
– They kept **ignoring blockchain evidence**.
– They repeatedly asked for **internal transaction IDs**, even though they were already provided.
– They only acknowledged anything after I warned I would expose the issue publicly.
– And now they’re trying to refund *my own money* only if I pay **another $17 (60 TRX)** first, claiming it’s for “gas fees.”That “pay more to get your money back” part is the big red flag. This is classic **advance-fee fraud**: they already have the **$113** (proven by the chain), and now they want an extra payment before they’ll return anything.
### Red flags I noticed
❌ “Payment processor” issues they alone can explain
❌ Denying a transaction that is blockchain-confirmed
❌ Demanding customers pay extra just to retrieve their own funds
❌ Slow, defensive communication and constant deflectionIf you’re doing the math, the damage here is at least **$113 + $17 = $130 lost** so far (and it could go higher if they keep stalling).
**Blockchain doesn’t lie.** DNAFunded received the funds, then tried to gaslight me into paying more. Either they’re wildly incompetent, or they’re doing something criminal—either way, **STAY AWAY**.

They denied my payout and blamed it on the “40% rule.” Honestly, it felt less like a policy and more like outright theft of my profits.
This was my first payout request after waiting 3 full months. I expected at least a normal review, but instead they moved the goalposts and then basically wiped the value from my side. On top of that, they “reset” the account, which is pretty rough when you’ve actually been trading and earning.
After that, their process got even more frustrating. I now have to complete a minimum of 3 trading days and then wait 14 days before I’m even allowed to submit another payout request—just so they can deny it again. Fourteen days. That’s a lot of time to wait for something that probably won’t go through.
Please don’t use this firm. They’ll keep you engaged with promises, and then shut you down when it’s time to withdraw. Even their tournament setup seems geared in the wrong direction: gamblers who win and keep profits get rewarded, while consistent traders end up getting cut out. It’s not just unfair—it’s discouraging.
Save your money, and more importantly, save your time.

First of all, thank you for the funded account. Getting approved was surprisingly quick, and I really appreciate it. I should also mention I haven’t received any payout yet, so I can’t fully judge the withdrawal process at the moment. That said, I’m genuinely hoping there won’t be any drama with future payouts.
I’ve seen what “drama” looks like before. For example, with FXIFY, I got passed an account, but then it turned into a mess—ended up getting a refund and dealing with a lot of unnecessary back-and-forth. So far, everything with this one feels much smoother, and I’m hoping it stays that way when payouts start.

In the past, I’ve gone back and forth with DNA Funded support quite a bit. To be fair, a lot of it comes down to the fact that the firm is still in active development. Several rules and internal processes feel like they’re being refined as they go, and that can be annoying—especially when something isn’t clearly defined yet.
That said, my latest experience was handled in a much better way. I unfortunately missed out on a meaningful chunk of profit because of unclear hedging rules, but the way the situation was managed was professional. Their customer relations team and the risk team stayed constructive, looked at the details properly, and communicated clearly. I genuinely appreciated that.
Overall, I think DNA Funded has real potential. There’s a lot to like, and the direction seems right. Still, some areas need tightening. For example, the news trading setup is currently pretty restrictive: long windows are required, and even additional events get tagged as “high impact,” which limits flexibility. Also, the 40% consistency rule feels awkward for traders who don’t close everything in one go. In practice, it doesn’t really account well for partial profit-taking, and it comes across as more designed for day traders than swing or position traders.
✅ Good things
– Risk parameters are relatively flexible and actually achievable compared to many other prop firms
– Support is responsive—fast replies and solid communication
– A good variety of tradable instruments, including a decent selection of individual stocks/equities⚠️ Things that need improvement
– Some rules are still not well defined, which can lead to confusion in edge cases
– A few rules seem better suited for day trading than swing/position trading—for instance, partial profits only count toward consistency once the full position is closed
– Limited automated transparency for “soft breach” areas (like consistency or news restrictions). Traders typically only find out when they request a payoutOverall impression: DNA Funded is still maturing, but the foundation looks strong, and the firm appears to be making genuine progress.

Honestly, I’d avoid this place. Their setup feels less like “trading evaluation” and more like a strategy to make the rules hard to understand, push you into requesting a payout, and then decline it. That would be whatever, but the bigger problem is they also keep your balance and tell you to try again.
There’s zero respect for customers—or for the profits you generate for them. It’s pretty shameless.
My first account was scheduled for a $1,250 payout and it got denied under their “consistency rule.” I understand other prop firms typically only approve withdrawals if you meet the requirements, but here it felt different: they let you submit the withdrawal, take your win, and then block it as punishment.
On my second account, things got even worse. I had a payout due for $23,750, and they declined it because 3 out of 69 trades were flagged as “opposite trades” (their weird, cursed definition of hedging). That included a gold long and an SPX short that totaled around $500. I waited for payouts after three days—then nothing. No communication, no explanation, just excuses when I complained.
Also, they cap profits at 5% for the first three payouts. So even if they were going to be difficult, this wouldn’t have been some massive payout—roughly a $10k result on paper. Still, they somehow managed to reject it and act like that was fair.
After switching to a real prop firm, I got funded and paid into my bank account in 11 days. The payout itself took about 8 hours. Night and day.
I really just wish I hadn’t wasted time, money, and trading opportunities here. I lost around $3,000 on the accounts, and I had about $25,000 in withdrawable profit.

Honestly, I’ve gotta give it to Firm and its employees—because they genuinely don’t seem to know their own rules. I ran into a situation where every single person I asked had a different take on what was allowed and what wasn’t. It’s been a bit of a mess, and at times it felt like nobody was on the same page.
In the end, though, MONSE || MOD and David actually stepped in and sorted everything out. They cleared up the confusion in the full email support thread, and they also addressed what Discord’s own mods were spreading—because that information was incorrect.
So yeah, thanks MONSE—this one’s for you. You provided the kind of support that actually matches the definition of “true” help: you did the proper research, stayed engaged with the issue, and followed through.

I came across a major problem with the consistency of your website rules. When I requested my payout, I was denied based on a “hidden” 40% profit distribution requirement. Honestly, that felt really unfair.
What bothers me the most is that this rule wasn’t clearly disclosed anywhere I could find beforehand. At the very least, it should be stated openly in your FAQ, so traders can actually plan their expectations and understand how payouts work before they commit.
So I want to ask: is there any way I can still receive my payout, or is that decision final?

Avoid DNA Funded if you value your time and your hard-earned capital. I’m not some inexperienced account drifter—I’m a consistent trader, and I managed to make **$1,200 in a single week**. Yet they still haven’t paid me out. Instead, they kept changing the rules, and it felt like every win I had was met with another reason to deny it.
They start by pointing to their “consistency rules” and say you didn’t qualify—even after you do what they require. Then, once you adjust and prove you can trade to their standards, they’ll just locate a different excuse. In my case, they shifted the goalposts again by accusing me of **news trading** and **gap trading** violations, even though I was simply holding a position when the market moved. That’s the key issue here: they aren’t trying to build with traders who succeed. They’re trying to find people who will eventually blow up their accounts so they can collect the fees.
If you’re serious, steer clear. Their program seems to favor gamblers running **very short timeframes**—think **1-minute charts**—who can burn through capital fast. If you actually know how to pull money from the market, they’ll comb through every technicality they can find to keep your payout from happening. I’ve already moved on to a professional firm that actually honors its contracts.
To the management at DNA Funded: good luck with the fallout.
