Resolving issues with this firm has been quite a hassle. It often seems like I’m arguing over the tiniest details. The drawn-out process has left me feeling uneasy about my experience with the company. I’m entitled to share my review, and I thought it might help others who have faced similar challenges. I have no personal grievances—after all, I paid for services—but it feels as though my concerns aren’t being taken seriously.

The rules here are impressive, offering a level of flexibility that many traders appreciate. Plus, there are no time restrictions on funded accounts, which is a significant advantage. This proprietary trading firm truly stands out as a great option for traders seeking both support and the freedom to operate as they choose.

The absence of an inactivity period is ideal for those of us juggling a busy lifestyle. I appreciate being able to take a break from trading whenever necessary, without worrying about risking my account status. This approach feels both fair and adaptable!

I was genuinely impressed by how fast the payouts were! It really stands out in comparison to others I’ve dealt with. My earnings were processed so quickly that I didn’t expect it at all. This firm definitely gets that timely payments are crucial for traders.

The Maximum Daily Loss Rule strikes a fair balance, allowing traders some space to take smart risks. It establishes a reasonable limit that doesn’t overly constrain trading activities. Overall, I think it provides an effective equilibrium.

The services provided are outstanding. The spreads and fees for each trade are consistently set at a standard rate, which is a significant advantage. Additionally, the support team is excellent and readily available to assist. With these positive features, it’s easier to pass the trading challenge, even when considering the consistency rule. Importantly, I want to note that I was not pressured to write this review.

Following up on my previous concerns, I reached out again to the support team after their acknowledgment of a platform issue during my previous interactions. It was 8 days later, on August 14, 2024, when I experienced yet another platform glitch. This time, I documented the incident as my funded evaluation account took a significant hit, dropping $9,000. I continued to communicate my concerns regarding my personal account as well. I even mentioned having video evidence of the trading issue, which I recalled after multiple failed attempts to close a trade. My seventh and eighth attempts to exit were captured on video.
I had previously raised an issue regarding support’s claims about fixed drawdown on my account, which they promised to escalate to the right department. I chose to hold back details about other losses I encountered—between $500 and $3,000—simply because I felt those were losses I could accept. However, I shouldn’t be burdened with losses stemming from platform issues. Initially, I understood their skepticism, but now I possessed concrete evidence of the trade failures I had encountered in my earlier complaints.
Ten days later, on August 16, 2024, after numerous discussions about both accounts, Darian informed me that I needed to address my concerns with Sway Markets because they handle Swayfunded accounts exclusively. He claimed that my recent trades didn’t reflect any errors and provided a screenshot purportedly showing the trades in question. Frustrated, I responded the same day, highlighting the contradiction in their statement.
I quickly reached out to Sway Markets and provided them with the trade IDs, minus the video proof. On August 18, they promptly acknowledged the errors I had encountered, noting that others had experienced similar issues during the same timeframe, and they refunded my losses.
Later that day, I returned to Darian with my unfolding frustrations. He stated that without “supporting evidence,” a refund would not be processed, noting that their records indicated no issues coinciding with my trading time. I expressed my confusion, pointing out the inconsistency in his message. Initially, I was told there were no issues, but now I was being told there was, just not during my trading period.
I detailed how I had been consistently facing problems and now had definitive proof, including the video showing the glitches I faced on trade ID 266908335, taken on December 8, 2024. The timing and conditions aligned with my previous claims, clearly indicating a glitch leading to multiple losses on my end. Yet, despite presenting this video evidence to them, they continued to deny processing my refund request.
On August 19, 2024, the narrative began to shift. Darian, faced with undeniable proof, finally acknowledged that trade ID 266908335 had indeed encountered an error. However, I kept pressing about my other trades and the promise for fixed drawdown, as well as an unexplained trade positioned at $8,000 in profit that I never executed. He brushed off these additional concerns, consistently ignoring my requests to speak to someone higher up in the company.

I’ve noticed some troubling practices at this firm that have left me frustrated. It feels like they manipulate their markets in a way that prevents my take profit from being hit. Interestingly, I’ve executed the exact same trades on my personal account without any issues, yet whenever I trade through this firm, my take profit consistently misses. It’s as if they intentionally push you into drawdown, setting you up to blow your account.
To add to my disappointment, I didn’t even plan on signing up with this prop firm—I transitioned here from my flash funding setup, where I had a 6% profit target. Suddenly, they’ve raised that target to 10% and rolled out new rules that seem specifically designed to make traders fail. Honestly, I’d recommend steering clear of this firm to save yourself the hassle; there are better options out there.

I regret to express my disappointment with both Glow Node and Sway Funded. Initially, I signed up for a challenge with Glow Node under certain conditions, but everything changed following their partnership with Sway Funded. They reset my account to zero, despite my being in profit, imposed restrictions on profit-making, and raised the profit targets – none of which we had agreed upon.
Worse still, neither Sway Funded nor Glow Node has offered a refund for the $49 I spent on the challenge. Had this been a more significant investment, like a $200,000 challenge, the financial impact would have been even more severe. These companies are unreliable and deceptive; engaging with them poses considerable risks and potential losses.
I would strongly advise steering clear of them. Sure, losing $49 won’t ruin me, but it’s really about the principle. It’s no surprise that they attract so many negative reviews. Their approach seems to revolve around extracting money from people. Best of luck with your questionable business practices.

As a former customer of MyFlashFunding before the acquisition, I can confidently say that Sway takes zero responsibility for the actions and lack of awareness from MYFF CEO Blake. It was quite disappointing when I asked a simple question, only to be blocked from their Discord channel right away—clearly, this reflects their attitude towards customer interactions.
I’d advise steering clear of this firm. I lost $3,500, and frankly, I see no compelling reason why you wouldn’t end up losing money too.

My experience with SWAY FUNDED was far from satisfactory. The drawdown and consistency regulations seem engineered for traders to struggle. Honestly, the rules are overly strict and quite unrealistic, which makes it exceedingly tough to keep an account afloat. It’s evident they prioritize fee collection over genuinely helping traders succeed. I would strongly advise against opening an account with them. Better to invest your time and money elsewhere with a firm that has a better reputation.

After being transitioned from myFlasFunding to Sway Funded, I’ve come across a few noteworthy observations.
First off, it’s hard to ignore how the rules at Sway Funded seem to heavily favor the firm over the traders. The targets set are rather steep, and the trailing drawdown regulations hinge on equity, which feels quite restrictive. Not to mention the consistency requirements that add another layer of pressure.
Additionally, I’ve encountered significant issues with the trading platform itself. Specifically, the stop-loss on one of my orders failed to activate. It’s been over a week now, and I’m still waiting for this problem to be resolved.
In response to Sway Funded’s follow-up, I can confirm that the issue concerning my order’s stop-loss has now been addressed. I’ve also adjusted my overall rating in light of their response.

Sway Funded took over, and the experience has been quite disappointing. If you enjoy throwing your money away, then this might be the platform for you. The platform itself lags significantly, which led me to place multiple orders. I had a few sell positions open while the market was trending downward. Out of the blue, Sway closed my trades and claimed I hit my daily loss limit, which I found pretty amusing. The bizarre part is that the trades, which should have been highly profitable, ended up being deep in the red instead.

This firm really misses the mark. I wouldn’t recommend purchasing accounts from them. They implement a trailing drawdown and have a consistency rule that makes it nearly impossible for you to successfully pass your account and receive a payout.

Transferring my accounts to this firm, which seems quite random, has been a frustrating experience due to the lack of any clear agreement or refund policy. To make matters worse, the rules here are not even consistent. It feels completely unreasonable.

I submitted my first payout request to MyFlashFunding on May 16, 2024. According to their policy, the purchase cost would be refunded with the initial payout; therefore, the refund fee was supposed to be included. However, soon after, they encountered financial difficulties that affected their ability to process payouts. Three months later, an acquisition took place where Sway Funded, part of Sway Markets, took over MyFlashFunding. Blake, the CEO of MyFlashFunding, struck a deal with Sway, ensuring that all outstanding payouts from MyFlashFunding customers would be settled by them.
Last week, I finally received my first payout from that May date, but it consisted solely of the performance fee (profit split), and my refund was missing. I reached out to Sway via email, but they denied my request for the refund I rightfully deserved. I also sent a direct message to Blake, who advised me to contact Sway for resolution. It appears neither party is willing to honor my refund; I hold Blake ultimately responsible since he owes me and other traders our refunds from the MyFlashFunding era, while Sway seems to show little concern for our situation. Waiting three months for this payout only to be treated this way is incredibly frustrating. I’m not the only one; many other traders are also missing their refunds from the MyFlashFunding period.
Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend choosing a more established firm. Don’t opt for Sway Funded simply because they are a brokerage. Additionally, all funded traders from MyFlashFunding were relegated to phase two evaluations with a daunting 8% profit target and a consistency rule. These new rules make it increasingly difficult for traders to receive their payouts. Consider going with reputable firms like FTMO or the 5ers; while they may charge higher fees, you are far less likely to encounter such absurd issues.

As a former client of MYFF, I must share my experience regarding their transition to Sway Funded. Without my prior consent, my account was migrated, which was quite frustrating. At the time of the switch, I was actively engaged in a 2-Phase $200,000 challenge, having progressed to Phase 2 with a $206,000 balance—equating to a 3% profit. Post-migration, I found myself starting over at the initial $200,000 balance, but now with a profit target of 8% instead of the previous 6%.
Additionally, Sway Funded introduced a trailing drawdown, a feature that was not in place with MYFF, and one that clearly does not benefit traders. While they do have costly add-ons available—like eliminating the trailing drawdown and lowering the profit target by 2%—these options were not extended to clients like myself who were migrated from MYFF. Furthermore, a refund was not offered because I did not consent to the new terms.
All of this has been well-documented through screenshots. In summary, if I were seeking a new proprietary trading firm, I would advise against choosing Sway Funded.

I was banned from the firm, with my account disabled, and I can’t find a specific reason for it anywhere. They have the power to take action on your account seemingly overnight, as stated in their terms and conditions. The support from Sway Funded is incredibly disappointing; they’ve closed my ticket without so much as a response. I also reached out to MyFlashFunding, which is now owned by Sway Funded, and my experience there has been even worse—they’re ignoring my concerns completely. Based on slippage and execution, MyFlashFunding ranks as the least reliable prop firm I’ve encountered. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this prop firm to anyone; my experience has been overwhelmingly negative. Since the migration was completed, my account was still banned, which seems outrageous. In my opinion, this firm is a scam, so don’t waste your money here.

The customer service here is truly excellent, always ready to help with any issues. I also have to mention how fast the withdrawals are, which is a big plus.

SwayFunding’s acquisition of MFF has certainly brought some changes. While the daily drawdown limit has increased from 8% to 10%, which is a positive adjustment, the profit target has also risen sharply—from 6% to a full 10%. It’s disappointing that they jumped directly to 10% instead of a more gradual increase like to 8%. However, they do provide an option in their add-ons to reduce the profit target limit if needed. The previous 6% profit target was a significant factor that made MFF stand out as one of the best in the industry, but now, with the target set at 10%, the dynamics have certainly shifted.

This is actually my fourth try at completing a funded challenge, and I just have to say that My Forex Funds has truly been fantastic to work with up until now. The platform and dashboard are really excellent tools that help keep everything organized throughout the whole process!
I’m thrilled to share that I’ve officially passed my funded challenge! It’s been quite the journey, and I’ve learned so much along the way. My Forex Funds have made the entire experience seamless for me.
Right now, I’m in the review phase and just waiting to submit my KYC.
I can’t wait to get started! 🙏🏽
I wholeheartedly recommend MFF!

I cannot recommend MFF at all. I was in a position where I had a 5% gain and a stop loss set at 10 pips. However, I ended up taking a loss of 100 pips, which resulted in a breach. At the time I was positioned, the daily low was only about 30 pips lower, so it’s baffling how I could incur a 100 pip loss. I reached out for an explanation, but unfortunately, none was provided. The customer service is absolutely terrible, and it honestly feels like they might be rigging the game against traders.

Swayfunded repeatedly closed my challenge accounts, despite my daily drawdown being under 5% and my overall loss remaining below 10%. My account username was ELSamie.

It’s been about a month and a half since they’ve made any payouts, and it feels like they keep pushing it back week after week.

Blake continues to collect funds from traders without making any payouts! It’s been over two months since I requested mine, and there’s still no indication of when I might receive it. He consistently postpones payments while readily accepting new traders’ money—it’s quite frustrating. This behavior raises serious concerns; it’s hard to believe there are so many glowing reviews when hundreds of us are left waiting for our hard-earned money. It’s really disappointing.

I strongly advise against joining this proprietary trading firm. They have not paid their funded traders, and it’s been over a month now. If you look at their Discord, you’ll see that the last “post your payout” was from May 29th. Instead of transparency, all we receive are empty promises. Don’t waste your money on this firm! It’s reminiscent of MFF and TFT.

The experience I had with this proprietary trading firm was exceptionally disappointing. I faced excessively high spreads, and trades did not close upon hitting my stop loss, which is frankly unacceptable. After purchasing a $200,000 account, I managed to pass phase one in just a week. However, upon receiving my phase two account, I noticed that the firm had lowered leverage on specific segments such as commodities and indices. They also introduced a new segment labeled with the .MYFF extension, which included currency pairs and metals.
Immediately after placing my first trade, I encountered a significant issue: trades were not closing at the targeted take profit (TP) or stop loss (SL) levels. Eventually, the TP and SL values reverted to zero due to this malfunction. This led to substantial drawdowns, forcing me to manually close my positions at larger losses. Occasionally, customer service would adjust my balance depending on the representative’s understanding of my plight, but the day I faced a drawdown due to this ongoing problem, I felt compelled to avoid taking further trades. There was also the constant anxiety of losing my other trades, which pushed me to close any profitable positions prematurely.
From day one, increasing my equity proved near-impossible; I kept encountering issues where system errors resulted in drawdowns, leaving me waiting for favorable trading conditions that never seemed to arrive. One night, I went to bed with a 4% profit from open positions, only to discover in the morning that they had all closed due to hitting the stop loss. When I compared the price with another broker, I found that the price hadn’t even reached the level needed to trigger my SL. Meanwhile, after some minor pullbacks, that broker returned to my original profit level, and the next day, all my trades hit over 80 pips in profit. The frustration was overwhelming as I realized my trades had been stopped out due to the absurdly high spreads. Had it not been for that, I would have already moved up to phase two.
Ultimately, one of my trades resulted in a loss of 130 pips despite my attempts to secure it at break-even. The ongoing issues, driven by high spreads, left me feeling demotivated and ultimately led to the loss of my account. If you’re considering My Flash Funding, be warned: they have significant problems following recent updates. I reached out for assistance regarding my situation, but there was no response. I am convinced that unless they make urgent fixes, they risk falling apart and might soon shut down their operations altogether.

My account was closed about a month back, and I’m still waiting since I requested a withdrawal. They’ve been complaining about some customers in relation to withdrawals. Interestingly, my account was taken down without any rules being broken on my part. To top it off, my country was excluded after I asked for compensation and inquired about my outstanding dues.

Payments are currently delayed, and some traders have been left waiting for over a month—a stark contrast to the few days it used to take. We’re receiving little more than the vague advice to “be patient.” This situation raises unsettling memories of experiences with MFF and TFT.
I had previously sung their praises, but everything has shifted dramatically. Should they provide a reasonable explanation for these payment delays, I might reconsider the one-star rating I’ve given. Just a few weeks ago, I rated them five stars, which highlights how quickly this firm has declined.
I’m not counting on my payments arriving anytime soon, and I won’t be purchasing any more challenges from them.
Also, to preemptively address any potential replies about being “not in the system,” I’ve opted for a different email to avoid any repercussions for sharing my honest opinion—especially in the slim chance I actually see my payment.
If they resolve this and offer a satisfactory explanation, I would happily update my review.
Vita Welch
As someone who has been trading for quite some time, I find that I’m not necessarily in the market every single day. This is where the absence of an inactivity period really shines for me. It allows me to maintain an open and active account without the constant stress of needing to trade regularly. This flexibility really suits my trading strategy and lifestyle.
