    I really hate writing this, because I’d much rather leave a higher rating. But the truth is, they don’t deserve anything above 1 star. If there were a “0 stars” option, I’d use it without hesitation.

    To be fair, this firm has the *potential* to become one of the best prop firms around. Honestly, it could even top the list in the future. The only thing stopping that is that they don’t seem to listen to their traders. I went through almost every review on here—both the positive ones and the negative ones—and I honestly believe the 1-star reviews are accurate. They don’t feel like fake accounts to me. For example, I’m not a fake user. My name is **Matthew Owoniyi (Trader R3)**, and they can verify it in their system. I’m leaving this review because I genuinely think they earned it.

    A lot of what people mention—A/B Book, netting, slippage, low leverage, and similar issues—matches what I experienced. I’m mainly posting because of the **A/B Book system**. It’s easy to assume you can “manage” A/B Book if you’ve never been funded and you only read the rules on their website. I thought I could handle it too. I bought **two accounts**, passed both, and still had to accept that A/B Book is *extremely* hard to beat in real trading conditions.

    After passing, I decided not to pay the activation fee on the second account once I realized you can almost never come out ahead consistently against how their A/B Book setup works. I could write an entire essay just about how the system affects funded traders mentally. It puts you under pressure to win your next trade or you end up dragged into B/Book. And that comes with the extra cost—**about 1%**—which adds up fast and makes things feel unfair.

    If anyone wants to dismiss this, go ahead. But I’m not just guessing—I can back up exactly how and why A/B Book sabotages traders, and I’m willing to share a detailed, well-explained breakdown of it too.

    These reviews are basically on point, and they’re not meant as an attack—just a complaint about what happened. In my case, I lost multiple accounts because of a slippage issue. And when I reached out to support to get it sorted, I honestly didn’t receive any meaningful response.

    It really makes you wonder what’s going on. Is it possible they close accounts and then their “solution” is simply to ask people to purchase a new account, while they effectively clear out the money lost due to slippage? If it were a genuinely trustworthy company, they’d address the problem for everyone affected and work toward a real fix, the way most reputable platforms do.

    From the looks of it, the whole thing feels like it’s being shut down soon, so credibility clearly doesn’t seem to matter to them anymore. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if even Discore users notice the same lack of support—because at this point, the company has basically left people stranded after losing accounts “by mistake.”

  • Oladapo James

    From what I’ve seen, this setup is built to favor the company, not the trader. Their whole program feels designed to “trap” traders—claims of a 100% win rate on their side, while traders end up with almost nothing to show for it. And I truly didn’t fully realize what they were doing until I came across the whole A-book/B-book situation. It just didn’t add up, so I bailed.

    I did a 4-step pay-to-profit challenge at first, thinking it might be legit. But the moment I understood the A-book/B-book part, I left everything immediately. That alone told me the playing field wasn’t fair.

    Yes, they do offer real capital, but the risk limits are what really make it frustrating. Allowing only a 1% risk is brutal—at minimum, I feel like 3% would be manageable for most traders. By comparison, Ment Funding still gives real funded capital and has an easier structure: a 1-step challenge with a 6% static maximum drawdown. Honestly, it’s a night-and-day difference. It feels like a real option, not some maze.

    As for the negative reviews you see? In my case, they’re not just “competition talk.” The problems are real, and I’m not making this up as an attack. Their program, in practice, seems aimed at keeping traders stuck rather than giving them a fair shot.

    If you want to trade with real funds and actually feel confident about payout, I’d go with Ment Funding. They’ve been around for about 4 years and, from what I’ve heard, they have a strong track record with zero payout denials. Funded Hive could improve, sure—but they need to offer something like a 3% A-book trade, not this pointless 1% limit.

    Every trader should be able to choose the company they trust most and feel comfortable with. Still, before you jump into anything, you really need to get clear on your own goals. Are you trying to make $100 a day, $1,000, or even $10,000? The target matters, but so does how you plan to manage the journey.

    Also, if someone is expecting massive profits from a tiny investment, they should probably think twice and trade using their own capital instead. When you’re trading on a firm’s funding, the main responsibility is risk management—not chasing “quick wins” or profit at all costs.

    Before purchasing any product or joining a prop firm, a trader should:
    – Research properly
    – Understand the rules
    – Confirm every detail

    Once you agree to those terms, then you can trade and actually enjoy the process. But if you break the firm’s rules—or if you run into problems like no response, weak communication, or poor after-sales support—you should raise the issue. Just make sure you bring proper proof. Without evidence, no complaint really carries weight.

    In the age of AI, technology, and advanced trading systems, there’s honestly no excuse for acting without knowledge. Trading isn’t something you should treat casually, like using a phone or a laptop. It takes discipline, patience, and continuous learning. And like any real skill, it usually takes time before consistent profits show up—not overnight.

    ## On Funded Trading Firms (Funded Hive)
    From my experience, I haven’t come across a prop firm like Funded Hive in the current market. Their model looks fairly well-structured for both retail and more experienced traders.

    What stood out to me is that many traders chase profits, but Funded Hive seems to place discipline first—which, in my opinion, is the biggest ingredient for long-term success.

    **Key observations:**
    – Most systems are automated, which helps efficiency
    – Support is active through Discord and other channels
    – Rules are clear, and the process feels structured
    – There are no outrageous marketing promises
    – Pricing seems aligned with the risks and product structure

    They also use approaches that look like A-Book and B-Book, and that setup appears designed to:
    – protect company capital
    – encourage disciplined trading
    – reduce the chances of “gambling-style” behavior

    In short, a disciplined trader who manages profits well and avoids heavy drawdowns can do very well with a firm like this. But if you treat trading like gambling, you’ll struggle—no matter what platform you use.

    ## Final Thoughts
    A genuinely good company usually doesn’t need exaggerated advertising. Users promote it naturally through real results.

    Trading is not easy, and it’s more like a profession than a side hobby. You need:
    – knowledge
    – self-discipline
    – consistent rule-following

    If you can’t follow your own rules, long-term success is unlikely.

    Overall, I think Funded Hive stands out as one of the stronger prop firms available today, mainly because of its structure, discipline-focused approach, and transparency.

    Highly appreciated. ?

    ## FundedHive Review (Edited) — A-Book → B-Book, Netting Only, and a Lot of “Convenient” Rules

    Let me start with the rule everyone seems to talk about: **the A-Book to B-Book rule**. If you read through the 1-star reviews, you’ll notice this is basically the headline complaint for a reason. In my experience, the whole thing feels like it’s designed to *sabotage* traders. Yes, the challenge itself is way easier than actually getting paid from the funded stage—because once you hit certain conditions, you can quickly end up in **B-Book**, and then it’s basically pay debt after debt until you’re exhausted or you get lucky.

    I actually contacted customer support about it and I swear I wish I could post screenshots. Their advice was something like: **risk only 0.25% while you’re on A-Book** so you don’t trigger B-Book. I’m sorry, but that’s not “help”—that’s basically telling you to trade so small that you’ll take ages to reach payout, assuming you even make it there. With a **0.25% risk**, when exactly am I supposed to clear the account debts and finally get to payout? It’s honestly crazy.

    ### Netting account only (and it’s not clearly explained)
    Another issue: they **only offer a netting account**. That means you **cannot stack positions**. You can open only **one position per pair/instrument**, and if you try to add to the same trade, your entry price gets averaged. That’s a major deal-breaker for traders who understand how hedging/netting actually works.

    What makes it worse is that I couldn’t find anywhere on their website clearly stating that they offer **only netting**. I’ve tried a few firms, and yes—**FundedHive is the one** offering netting specifically.

    Also, I saw someone claim: *“I can stack positions because they offer cTrader.”* That’s not true. You don’t get to stack because of the platform. You can’t stack because the account type is netting. If you’re that person, I’d really suggest rereading what netting means.

    ### Slippage that feels “protected” in name only
    Then there’s **slippage**. If you’re reading this and wondering, “But don’t they have slippage protection?”—ask yourself why you’ll still likely get **hit with extreme slippage** anyway. My first slippage issue support actually refunded me, sure. But after that? On the next **two** occasions I got slipped, they refused to help. So the “protection” feels… inconsistent.

    ### Dynamic leverage (1:50 down to 1:30)
    They also advertise **dynamic leverage**, and in practice it’s not great for anyone who scalps or day trades. They mention something like **1:50 to 1:30**. Depending on volatility, that can mess with your ability to hold the risk you planned. You might end up forced into **dynamic risking** instead of sticking to a normal 1% plan.

    ### “Pay from profits” — but your buffer disappears immediately
    This is where the marketing really confused me. Like many traders, I believed the claim that you can **pay your challenge fee from profits**.

    In theory, “Pay From Profits” sounds like you can make gains and then pay when you request payout. But that doesn’t seem to be how it works. What happens is that any profit you make on **A-Book gets withdrawn instantly**, leaving you with **zero buffer**, and making it much easier to get pushed into **B-Book**.

    And then support even suggested that same **0.25% risk** approach to avoid B-Book. That feels contradictory. If they know B-Book is bad for the trader, why are they removing profits immediately on A-Book and basically setting you up to become B-Book prone? To me, it looks like the plan is simple: get you into B-Book so you keep paying debts until you either quit out of frustration or maybe (just maybe) get lucky.

    ### “False reviews” and Trustpilot situation
    There’s also a reason their Trustpilot status is so messy, and I’m saying that because it’s not subtle. I’m on Discord too, and from what I saw, the CEO basically encouraged people to leave good reviews and even framed it like the company is being attacked. Honestly, if your rules are flawless and great for traders, you wouldn’t need to tell people to go manipulate reviews.

    A lot of the positive comments don’t sound like real funded experiences. Some people claim things that are simply not true—especially around **stacking** and payouts.

    ### The only “good” thing: 1-minute payout (untested)
    The only genuinely positive claim I’ve seen is the supposed **1-minute payout** feature. I haven’t tested it, though, and I honestly shouldn’t even be discussing it since I’m still in the funded phase and still trying to get past the A-Book → B-Book nonsense. At this point, it might even be another false marketing claim—nobody knows until you actually hit payout.

    ## Final edit / response to their reply
    I originally wrote the review, then got a response, and I decided to edit this part in after reading it.

    If you’re reading this now, I’d suggest pausing and reading their response first.

    After carefully reviewing their reply, I came back because—ironically—it sounds like they agreed with the core problems. The only difference is this: they explained that the rules are “by design” to protect the firm.

    They keep saying things like **“Real A-Book conditions”** to justify what I complained about. But let’s be real: their answers to every single issue I listed basically boil down to the same explanation—“it’s A-Book environment.”

    So I have to ask:
    If everything is A-Book environment, then why was I dealing with these same problems during my **challenge phase** too—except for the A/B book issue I only faced clearly in funded phase?

    In other words: does that mean the **challenge phase** is also “A-Book environment”? Because if not, then their explanation doesn’t fully line up.

    I’ll end with this: if you’re in charge, I’m challenging you to dispute every single point I mentioned—because right now, their reply feels more like justification than refutation.

  • Charlotte Thompson

    The A/B book rules make this pretty much unworkable. If you end up with even a 1% loss, you get moved to the B book, and from that point on you’re basically stuck operating “in debt.” It feels like you never really get a clean chance to recover, because one bad stretch can trigger the switch again and again.

  • Oliver Thompson

    This review is mainly about customer service.

    At a glance, it’s clear they’re leaning on Discord instead of live chat, and honestly that part is fine. But the bigger issue is that they simply don’t respond to everyone’s questions. I had a couple of very straightforward inquiries, and neither one got a real answer from the staff.

    Here’s what I asked:

    1. **“What is pay for profits?”**
    They didn’t provide any clarification on what that actually means, which is pretty important if you’re trying to understand how payouts work.

    2. **“Will Funded Hive be using MT5 as the trading platform for us?”**
    This is a basic question for traders, and again, it wasn’t answered.

    Overall, both questions were reasonable, and it’s frustrating that none of the staff members addressed them. If you’re going to run a community support system, you’d expect at least simple questions to get answered.

  • Dániel Kovács

    I’m a consistently profitable, funded day trader, and I run a strict, mathematically tested risk model. I’m leaving a 1-star review, not because I “failed a challenge,” but because FundedHive’s support felt deceptive, there’s basically zero accountability, and their A-Book/B-Book setup seems engineered to blunt (and in practice punish) a trader’s edge.

    Here are the cold, verifiable facts:

    1. **False Information from Official Support**
    I asked their support on Discord (Ryan) specifically how their B-Book profit calculation works. I got a clear, written, definitive explanation. I adjusted my risk management based on that official answer—so yes, I followed the rules they told me.

    2. **The Trap (What Actually Happened)**
    When I later took a normal, statistically expected losing trade, the system handled the B-Book mechanics completely differently than what support had stated. The result was an immediate, realized **-$100 penalty** that realistically should not have occurred under the explanation I was given. That was the first major “wait… so which one is true?” moment.

    3. **Zero Accountability**
    I opened a ticket, attached screenshots showing what their support agent told me, and requested fair compensation for the loss caused by their error. They refused. They basically acted like I was the one misunderstanding the rules, while ignoring the written proof that their own staff misled me.

    So what’s the reality here? Their A-Book/B-Book model doesn’t feel like risk management—it feels like a structural trap. It hits your losses quickly, while conveniently reframing winning trades as something like “debt recovery,” which is not what a serious trader expects from a system that claims to be consistent and rule-based.

    If you truly have an edge and you trade with precision, I’d stay far away from FundedHive. In my view, the bigger enemy isn’t the market—it’s the administrative paywalls and the misleading support process.

    **Reply (cleaned up):**

    Dear Thomas,
    Thank you for your response. Just to be clear, I’m not calling FundedHive a scam, and I’m not saying the system is “rigged” in some vague way. I genuinely understand that you like your firm’s overall model, and I can see why.

    That said, the core issue still comes down to the A-Book/B-Book transition mechanic. The big problem is that **1% leaks out every time there’s a switch to the B-Book**. If B-Book profits were calculated starting from **99%** (matching how the mechanic was represented to me), then the system would be far more workable—almost flawless, honestly. But as it stands, this rule mathematically strips away the trader’s edge.

    Even with all the other features FundedHive offers, this specific mechanic slowly bleeds traders dry, and it was also the exact reason behind my misunderstanding at the time. If you adjusted that transition rule, trading with your firm could be sustainable long-term. Right now, it places traders at a major disadvantage.

    Also, I still have not received the compensation that was previously discussed. I’m standing by my review because I didn’t write anything false about what happened to me. My goal is constructive feedback, but the math disadvantage here is real and it’s critical for traders to understand before joining.

  • Akhil Reddy

    I decided to join Funded Hive mainly because of how open they claim to be, plus the flexibility and those “revolutionary” payout features—specifically the 60-second payouts via blockchain. On top of that, their challenge phase actually allows weekend holding, which is a big win if you’re the type who doesn’t want to babysit trades over Saturday and Sunday.

    The problem is what happens after you pass. Once you move into the funded stage (whether it’s **Pay After You Pass** or **Pay From Profits**), weekend holding is banned across the board. And that limitation hits hard for swing traders—like me—because my setups usually take around **10 to 20 days** to fully play out. For intraday folks it might be manageable, but for swing/position trading it basically forces you to close early, even when the plan isn’t done yet.

    Funded Hive markets itself as a prop firm that supports traders worldwide—scalpers, intraday traders, and swing traders included. In my view, they should extend that same flexibility into the funded stage too. Instead, the weekend rule creates extra pressure and often pushes traders to make decisions they wouldn’t make otherwise, just to avoid violations.

    Because of this strict policy, I can’t recommend Funded Hive for swing or position traders. The fast payouts are a nice touch, no doubt, but the lack of flexibility in funded accounts makes the overall experience feel disappointing.

    Honestly, I would’ve given them **5 stars** if weekend holding was allowed once you’re funded as well.

  • Achieng Otieno

    Honestly, whatever you see people complaining about online is basically the truth. I’ve gone through the process twice, and in both cases it was much harder to reach a payout than it was to pass the challenge.

    Getting funded is only the first step—once you’re in, the real pressure starts.

    **Best-Funded Hive Team — Absolutely Awesome Funded**

    If you’re looking for a hive team with serious backing, this one delivers. It’s the kind of group that doesn’t just talk about big plans—they’ve actually got the funding to make things happen.

    Overall, it feels like a strong, well-supported operation, and the funding level really stands out. In short: **best-funded, and honestly awesome.**

  • Amit Kumar
    3 months ago

    Hi! I previously left a review about their support, and I’m happy to say things seem to have improved. The newer support team members come across very politely and with a lot of respect, which honestly makes a big difference.

    Thanks so much—you’ve really changed the tone of the experience for me.

  • Asha Devi

    If you’re looking for a straightforward Abook/Bbook system, you might want to skip this one. The whole setup feels off from the start—basic operations don’t go as smoothly as you’d expect, and it can be frustrating when you’re trying to get things done quickly.

    Honestly, it’s very bad. The user experience is clunky, the flow is confusing, and instead of making your process easier, it tends to slow you down. Save your time and look for something else that works with less hassle.

  • Jasur Sharipov

    I honestly don’t get the negative reviews. To me, it’s pretty obvious this platform is designed to be cheap and accessible—especially for anyone who wants to put “skin in the game” without blowing their budget.

    One thing I really like is the transparency. Payouts are clear, and you can actually track people who have withdrawn funds. That level of openness feels rare in the prop space.

    Overall, this is genuinely a game changer for the industry. If you’re looking for something straightforward and affordable, PayformProfits challenges is worth checking out.

  • Bidro El Fakir

    This firm has a pretty serious problem with price slippage, and honestly it can get downright scary. I was trading on an account that was profitable, and I wanted to move into a lower-risk setup. But the slippage completely changed the risk profile in practice.

    Here’s what happened: all of the trades were getting closed at a price more than about 1% beyond the stop loss. For example, I was aiming to lose roughly 0.2%, yet the deal would close with losses climbing to above 1% instead. I still managed to hit the goals in the early stage (and even went beyond them), but when I contacted support, the response didn’t really help. They told me the funds were cleared for the account, but they wouldn’t change the risk category. Their explanation was basically that this account type isn’t suitable because the trader can’t control risk management.

    And that’s the key issue for me: if slippage is happening like that, then “risk management” isn’t really under the trader’s control. In the end, it felt like I was paying more than the account is worth—especially when I saw slippage push the loss to around 3%. At that point, I abandoned the account entirely. For comparison, I switched to a larger account with a well-known provider like FTMO, and it felt much more reasonable.

    To be fair, I’m not saying the company is a total scam or that I doubt their overall credibility. But the account type simply isn’t suitable in my experience. I also tried changing to a classic slippage account, thinking it might fix the problem. Unfortunately, the same issue showed up again—only this time it was tied to daily payment concerns as well. After learning about the company, they claimed improvements to slippage, but when I tested it again, the results didn’t really change.

    So yeah, I’m responding with full confidence: I don’t recommend them. If you’re looking for a smoother, more predictable execution environment, there are better firms out there—maybe even better brokers than this. I honestly haven’t seen slippage like this anywhere else.

  • Temitope Adebayo
    4 months ago

    This is, hands down, the worst prop firm I’ve tried. They closed my trade even after it had already reached **2R**. And the reason they gave me didn’t make sense at all—because not a single candle ever came back to my entry price, so there was no real “retracement” that could justify what happened. My stop-loss level also was nowhere near, so the explanation sounded completely off.

    What’s more, they claimed it was due to **slippage**. But tell me this: what kind of prop firm would take you out on a trade that has already moved **2R** in your favor? That’s not slippage—that’s something else.

    So here’s my honest advice: don’t waste your money or time with this firm. If you’re thinking about trying them, I’d strongly reconsider.

  • Muhammad Imran Rajput

    Absolutely—this is one of those genuinely impressive features that you can’t help noticing right away. It’s smooth, responsive, and feels like it was built with real-world use in mind. The setup is straightforward, and once you start using it, the benefits become obvious pretty quickly.

    If you’re on the fence, I’d say go for it—you’ll likely be glad you did.

  • Yassine El Amrani

    I’ve been using **FundedHive** for a while now, and I figured it was worth sharing my honest take. Overall, my experience has been really smooth, and that’s not something I say lightly.

    First off, everything feels **fully automated**. I’ve never had to reach out to customer support for anything—no stuck steps, no weird delays, nothing that made me pause. For me, that alone speaks volumes about how well the platform is running.

    On the performance side, I’ve personally **breached over 12 accounts**, and I’ve never complained once. The reason is simple: the rules are laid out clearly from day one. If you take the time to actually understand how the model works, you’ll know what to expect—and there won’t be any “surprises” later.

    In my opinion, this is one of the **best firms I’ve come across so far**. The whole process is transparent, pretty straightforward, and it doesn’t try to trick you with fine print or hidden conditions. Everything feels out in the open.

    And as we say: **“وإن رأيت فيك عيبًا فالعيب فيّ أنا”**—meaning if you notice a flaw, then maybe the issue is on my side too. I genuinely think people should take responsibility, learn the system properly, and stop blaming the company when things don’t go their way.

    Highly recommended.

  • Chinedu Okafor

    FundedHive positions itself as a genuinely modern prop firm, and after spending time on the platform, I can see why some traders are paying attention. One of the biggest draws for me is the fact that every transaction is recorded on the blockchain. That level of transparency is huge—it basically removes the “hidden changes” problem and makes manipulation much harder.

    On the execution side, FundedHive also feels more dialed in than a lot of similar firms. Tight spreads paired with slippage protection is a solid combo, and the fact that daily payouts hit every 1 minute is honestly rare in this industry. If you’re the type who hates waiting around for results, that feature alone could be a deciding factor.

    **CONS:** Make sure you actually read the rules and understand the account model before purchasing an account. It’s not buried or hidden—everything you need is on their website, so there shouldn’t be any surprises if you take a few minutes to review it.

  • Surendra Mahanty

    I wouldn’t take any chances with PFP Account. Honestly, this ended up being one of the worst mistakes of my life. On top of that, their “rules” are a mess—strict in some places, unclear in others, and overall it feels like the whole system doesn’t make sense.

    If you’re thinking about going with them, I’d strongly suggest you look elsewhere first.

  • Michael Johnson
    4 months ago

    So far, everything has been pretty solid. I’ve already finished Phase 1 and I’m currently working through Phase 2. I’ll come back with another update once I actually secure a payout.

    The process is simple enough—rules are straightforward, and the execution is quick. On top of that, the NASDAQ spreads are tight, which definitely helps. If I’m being picky, a little more leverage would be ideal, but it’s not a dealbreaker for me.

    I’m also hoping they roll out TradeLocker soon. That could make the whole experience even better.

  • Amina Okafor
    4 months ago

    Anyone giving this firm more than 2 stars probably never made it through the challenge phase. I did make it through—and I’m funded now—so let me explain why trading a “funded account” feels way harder than the challenge stage. In my opinion, the funded phase is built to pressure traders into failing before they ever reach payout. Here’s how it works.

    ### 1) The A-Book / B-Book rule (basically a trap)
    This rule is presented like some kind of risk management feature, but it’s really there to protect the firm’s bottom line and mess with your results.

    Before you even get funded, they don’t clearly spell out that you’re only allowed to lose **5% of your A-Book balance**.

    – You start on **A-Book**.
    – If you hit a **1% loss on A-Book**, you get moved to **B-Book**.
    – Any profit you make on **B-Book doesn’t count**—not until you earn enough to switch back to A-Book.
    – And every time you lose that 1% and get moved again, you “stack” debt. So each time you go to B-Book, you effectively owe the firm **another 1%**.

    So you can end up in this weird situation where you’re “trading,” but your gains don’t help you the way you think they should.

    #### Example (the cycle is brutal)
    Let’s say you’re trading a **$100,000** funded account.

    – Win rate: **50%**
    – Risk per trade: **1%**
    – Trade 1: **Loss** → you go to B-Book (and now you’re owing **-1%**)

    Now Trade 2: you win, but the B-Book profit **does not count**. It only helps you recover enough to get switched back to A-Book. The moment you switch back, you’re still dealing with the **-1% debt** you created earlier.

    Now you’re kind of “forced” to win again to avoid repeating the cycle. If you lose Trade 3 back on A-Book, you go to B-Book again and your debt becomes **-2%**.

    If you win after that (+2R kind of recovery), the firm can withdraw profits immediately to cover the debt you owe. Then you’re back on A-Book at **breakeven or worse**, and if you lose again, the whole thing keeps going until you hit the **-5%** limit and the account gets blown.

    Without the A-Book / B-Book setup, the same sequence could have been profit-positive. With it? You end up stuck in fear mode, trying to avoid a rule-driven punishment instead of focusing on your strategy.

    After 5 trades (3 wins, 2 losses), a trader should logically be up around **4R**. But due to A/B book mechanics, you’re back at break even and now you owe the firm. That’s not “hard trading”—that’s engineered pressure.

    So the real question is: what’s the hope for anyone below a **50% win rate**? You’re basically fighting both the market and the payout structure at the same time.

    ### My experience with their payment structure
    I also have to mention the “buy-in” costs, because the math adds up before you even reach the funded phase.

    In my case, I bought a **1-step plan** using a **$5,000** profit target (not sure why they call it that, but that’s what it was listed as). I passed what they call the “high level.” Then I paid **$20** at the start of the challenge.

    After I passed, they asked for another **$75** to get the funded account. They told me I still owed **$93**, which would be taken out of my payout.

    So total paid was **$20 + $75 = $110**, and that’s more than enough to get a **$10,000 challenge** account from a more reputable firm (like FTMO) without all the extra drama. If I’d known it would end like this, I honestly wouldn’t have started with them.

    I’m writing this because I remember what it felt like to be hopeful and then get hit with the reality. I’m not saying you can’t pass. I’m saying your odds of reaching payout are **very slim**, and you may need way more than technical skill. In my case, I didn’t get the luck part.

    ### Final note
    I consider myself a decent trader. The fact that I got sent to B-Book **4 times** and still pulled my way back out every single time suggests I’m not the problem. If B-Book profits were counted normally, I’d be up roughly **8%** by now—but instead I’m sitting around **-3% debt**.

    So yeah, I’m currently funded, but the system makes it feel less like “earning” and more like trying to survive a ruleset designed to stop you from cashing out.

    Fake prop firm

    After you pass their challenge, they still come back asking for extra payment, which is honestly a huge red flag. On top of that, the execution quality leaves a lot to be desired—there’s high slippage, and the trading conditions just don’t feel fair.

    They also don’t support MT5, which is inconvenient if you use that platform. And the rules around profitability are pretty strict too: you need at least 3 minimum profitable trading days, with each day requiring 1% or more. If you slip even slightly, you can get stuck.

    Worst of all, the customer support is terrible. Responses are slow and unhelpful, and it feels like they don’t really care about resolving issues.

    Overall, don’t waste your time or money on this firm.

    I was ready to give this a full 5 stars, but I couldn’t ignore the trading platform itself: cTrader is honestly a mess. It’s, without exaggeration, one of the worst options out there for actually placing and managing trades.

    For starters, you can’t even layer trades properly in a way that feels intuitive or reliable. On top of that, it just falls short on a bunch of basic stuff—performance, usability, and overall workflow. And the frustrating part is that it’s not like there are better alternatives. It’s basically the only option you’re stuck with.

    **Edit:** I bumped it up to **5 stars anyway**.

    I had a pretty disappointing experience with FundedHive, mainly because of slippage issues and the way they handled things when the slippage pushed beyond their own risk limits.

    In my case, the slippage was extreme—about 20–25% beyond my calculated stop loss. It didn’t happen consistently either; it was specifically worst when I was close to the daily risk level cap. That’s exactly what caused my account to breach. I was allowed a 3% daily breach, but the account closed at 3.0098%—which doesn’t sound like much on paper, yet on a $100,000 account it was roughly an extra $40. The part that really annoyed me is that I had already built in a buffer for slippage when placing the trades. Even then, the execution ran way past what’s normal, adding around $151 and $199 in extra slippage impact.

    When I reached out to support, they did acknowledge the slippage problem and refunded the portion of slippage that exceeded 10% of the total loss—about $51. That refund helped a bit, sure, but I still can’t understand why they wouldn’t also reverse the breach status. The breach happened because of their execution conditions, not because of anything I did differently. It felt like they recognized the issue, but only addressed it partially.

    What made it worse is that I saw similar slippage across both trading accounts I was running. The slippage amounts were consistently in the $151–$199 range, which works out to over 15% of the intended stop loss. In any risk-managed trading setup, that level of slippage simply shouldn’t be happening.

    Overall, I’m left very unhappy. They provided partial compensation, but they didn’t fully take responsibility for the impact it had on my account—impact that ultimately led to losing the account itself.

    So far, my experience has been genuinely positive—I’m currently in Phase 2 and aiming to clear it. The rules are pretty simple and, importantly, there don’t seem to be any hidden tricks. That transparency is honestly a big relief.

    That said, I do have one sticking point: the funding and payout structure. The plan is that I pay 50% of the total fee upfront, and then the remaining 50% comes out of my profits. My main question is how the daily payout part works once my account goes live. Are daily profits actually paid out as expected, or is there a chance they could delay or withhold them during the deduction period?

    Overall, the program has felt smooth so far, but this uncertainty about daily profit access and potential withholding is what’s holding me back a bit.

    Account 1027189 — Honestly, this company feels like nothing but a scam. The process starts with a couple of “easy” steps: they tell you you only need to pay an activation fee, complete the challenge, and then pay the fee after you’ve already taken profits from the funded account. At least that’s how it’s presented.

    But things get messy fast. If you accidentally forget to set a stop loss on even one trade, they hit you with a $63 charge related to the funded account. That part alone already doesn’t sit right with me, because it’s like you’re being punished for a simple oversight instead of being evaluated fairly.

    What really makes me call it the biggest scam is the overall money flow. I haven’t seen many prop firms do this—pay $9 up front, then $63 for “management” of the funded account, and on top of that, they also take another $63 from the profits. So for a $5,000 two-step account, you’re looking at roughly $140 total before anything feels truly straightforward.

    In my view, that’s way too much and way too sketchy to justify. A huge scam.

    I had a genuinely bad experience with this company. Their so-called “A Book” and “B Book” rules are extremely difficult to follow—at least, that’s how it felt on my end. To be honest, I struggled to comply with what they were asking, and the whole process ended up being frustrating instead of helpful.

    So yeah, if you’re considering them, I’d say stay away. There are much easier options out there.

    Offering a Spanish language option on your website is pretty much non-negotiable. It’s the kind of accessibility feature that instantly makes the experience feel more welcoming and, honestly, more professional for a wider range of visitors.

    The A Book system and automation are seriously impressive ❤️. It’s one of those setups that just makes things feel smoother right away, and I really like how it helps cut through the usual hassle.

    From my side, keep going—this is a great step, and I hope you grow even more.

    This prop firm is honestly bullshit.

    They advertise **1:50 leverage**, but in practice they only give you the margin you’d expect from **1:1 leverage**. The whole thing is a massive mislead, and I really wouldn’t recommend buying an account—especially not even at their “cheap” prices.

    Here’s what happened to me: I bought a **$100k account** funded through profits. Like they claim in their marketing, I expected I’d be able to scalp—opening plenty of positions on a small move. If you truly had **1:50 leverage**, then on something like a **5-pip SL**, I should’ve been able to open around **20 lots** while staying at roughly **1% risk**.

    That’s not what I got.

    Instead, they charged me margin as if I had **$100k margin** when I should’ve been looking at something closer to **$5 million** worth of buying power. In other words, the platform behaved like **1:1 leverage**, not 1:50.

    So I could only open about **5 lots** on the **$100k** account. And yeah, **5 lots** sounds “fine” until you realize it’s basically **around 0.25% risk** at max—meaning your actual risk allowance is tiny compared to what you’re led to believe. It totally kills the whole point of trying to scalp aggressively like they advertise.

    Bottom line: if you’re not a swing trader, you probably don’t want this. And you definitely shouldn’t buy a funded account from a prop firm that can’t be honest about something as basic as leverage and margin requirements.

    If you’re looking for a company that actually lives up to the hype, this is one of the best places you could work. The team is genuinely supportive, communication feels solid, and the overall vibe is way more professional than you typically get. Honestly, it’s one of those workplaces where you feel valued from day one.

    These people will claim they can work their way to lower—or sometimes raise—your risk level using some hidden rules. Honestly, it sounds more mysterious than it does transparent, and that’s exactly what makes it a bit concerning.

    If you’re relying on this to make important decisions, you might want to ask for clearer details first, because “hidden rules” usually means you won’t fully understand how things are being judged.
