The proprietary trading website is currently non-functional, and it’s unclear when it will be back online. I submitted a withdrawal request for my funds on February 15, 2025, but I have yet to receive any response. I really need assistance withdrawing my money!

It’s been two months, and I still haven’t received my withdrawal. My request has been pending for over 60 days now. Honestly, I really regret purchasing an account from this company—it feels like a total fraud. 😤

Following up on my previous review, I wanted to address the response I received. Unfortunately, I never received the email mentioned, and it feels like I’m just caught in a loop of automated replies. My funded account has yet to arrive, and it appears I’m not alone in this situation—many others seem to be encountering the same issues. In short, NextStepFunded appears to be poorly managed and is struggling to wind down operations. I strongly advise against purchasing accounts from this proprietary trading firm. Instead, consider alternatives like FTMO, Topstep, FundedNext, or Alpha Capital.

I had a really frustrating experience with this proprietary trading firm. One of my accounts got frozen after I had a payout of around $5,000 to $6,000. I thought they would clarify the situation, but they didn’t follow up, which left me in the dark. Honestly, it’s been quite a while now, and that account is still locked. It’s hard to recommend a firm that doesn’t seem to care about their clients.

My payout was denied, which is frustrating enough on its own. What makes it worse is that my account balance hasn’t been reset, leaving me unable to start trading again.

As a prominent Instagram blogger with a substantial following, I feel compelled to share my disappointing experience with this trading firm. My rating is unfortunately a 1 out of 5. Firstly, the firm seems to systematically drive away traders who are actually making a profit, which severely undermines their confidence and psychological fortitude. Secondly, the customer support is virtually non-existent; my withdrawal request appears to be in limbo, and when I do receive a response, it’s often accompanied by vague and unconvincing reasons for denial. I am committed to warning others about this situation until the very end, as I believe it’s crucial that no one else falls prey to this company. I will continue to voice my concerns publicly and will label this firm as a scam!

It’s hard to believe that anyone would still fall for this scam of a firm. Seriously, they won’t pay you a dime. It feels like a group of thieves running the show.

I requested a withdrawal from this prop firm a month ago, and I still haven’t received it. Honestly, I think this firm is a total scam—it’s best to stay away. I have all the evidence to back this up!

From my experience, I’d say this firm isn’t reliable at all. You’d be wasting your time if you decide to go with them; they’re bound to let you down eventually. Honestly, I wouldn’t suggest them to anyone looking for a solid trading partner. If you’re seeking a trustworthy option, I’d recommend checking out PAIVA. They actually follow through on their payments.

I reached out to this firm with a few questions, but unfortunately, I never received a response. If this is how they handle customer service, I definitely wouldn’t feel comfortable entrusting them with my funds!

Hello, I’m Arjun from India. Three weeks ago, I successfully passed the challenge account, but I still haven’t received my funded account. I’ve sent over ten emails to the support team, yet I haven’t gotten a proper response to resolve this issue.

I began my journey with a sense of optimism, purchasing my initial trading account, followed by a second one in October 2023. There were definitely some highs and lows along the way. Then, I experienced a significant shift when the firm switched brokers from Eightcap to Bluewhale. During this transition, my account was converted to a type that proved to be exceptionally challenging for trading, which completely disrupted my automated trading setup. Unfortunately, I lost one account as a result of the bot functioning like a high-frequency trading algorithm. Accepting this setback, I decided to start anew and focused on honing my manual trading skills.
After some time, I managed to recover and even generate a modest profit. However, when I sought my first withdrawal, it was denied due to a consistency rule, resulting in what they termed a soft breach. I understood their position and continued trading diligently—ten trades over ten consecutive days, achieving a consistent profit each time. Even when I had opportunities to earn more, I refrained from taking extra risks, adhering to the rules. Once I hit my target profit, I deliberately paused trading for an additional twenty days to avoid any losses—this was in December, and my goal was simply to see some funds come through, allowing me to recoup the challenge fees I’d paid. However, I ended up investing far more than what I was supposed to gain.
I submitted a withdrawal request on January 15th and waited three business days for an email that would reveal whether I was in the clear or facing disappointment. Unfortunately, that email never came. After reaching out to support, I received a single response, but despite waiting nearly two weeks, I still hadn’t heard back regarding my withdrawal. The only updates I’ve seen have been from a representative responding on Trustpilot. It’s disheartening to say the least; I lost much more than money throughout this process. I truly regret not making my mom proud.
Update: As of February 2, 2025, they finally got back to me—apparently, they were on holiday. They claimed that I had copy-traded using an Expert Advisor, which is simply not true. Given the rules, using a robot in this context is impossible. Ultimately, my situation was classified as a soft breach, leading to a reset and a month without automated trading. While I’m relieved to finally have a response, my enthusiasm for trading has diminished significantly. I plan to give it one more shot and see how it goes. After fumbling around for over a year, what’s another thirty days? 🙂

Customer service support has been quite lacking. It’s been more than two weeks since I submitted my request, and I still haven’t heard anything back. I’m honestly quite disappointed, as I expected better service. On a brighter note, after giving TON TRADING a try, I did notice some growth in my investments.

I strongly advise against engaging with this firm due to their lack of reliability. My attempts to claim my rewards have been fruitless, and the customer support team seems utterly unhelpful in resolving the issue. Honestly, I can’t recommend them to anyone. Instead, I would suggest looking into PAIVA; they are known for honoring their payments.

I currently hold an account with a balance of 25,000 riels at Next Step Funded. It’s been over two weeks since I requested a withdrawal, and there hasn’t been any movement—no review, no approval, and certainly no deposit. I’ve reached out to their support team multiple times, but, regrettably, I haven’t received any replies. My confidence in this proprietary trading firm is waning by the day. If I don’t see the deposit this week, I’ll be inclined to believe this might be a fraudulent operation. With more than 100,000 followers across platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter, I have a significant audience. Should I find that this company has deceived me and my profits aren’t honored, I won’t hesitate to expose them publicly. I hope I’m not alone in this predicament. Thank you.

I reached out via email and text requesting my live $25,000 account, but here I am, two weeks later, still waiting. Despite having signed the contract and completed my KYC verification, my funded account hasn’t been sent to me. Two weeks really is quite a lengthy wait! I’ve also tried contacting support on Discord and through email, but there’s been no response. You all mention a processing time of 1-2 business days, yet nothing has changed. I urge you to look into this matter!

Next Step Funded stands out as an exceptional company. The timeline for the Two Step Challenge kept me both focused and motivated. While the journey was certainly challenging, I always had the support team available to assist whenever I encountered difficulties. Moreover, I was provided with a user-friendly Funded MT5 account from MLQ5, which significantly contributed to my success in completing the challenge. I’m really glad I pushed through it.

Avoid this company at all costs. Nextstepfunded is nothing short of a scam. They neglected to reset the daily drawdown in their system, which resulted in a breach the following morning due to some negative trades that exceeded the previous day’s limit. Despite sending multiple emails to three different addresses, including one that had previously responded, I have yet to receive any response. I cannot recommend this company under any circumstances.
