Rule Violation on DTF

I had reached out in regards to a rule violation I suspected I was running into and wanted some help to avoid total loss of the accounts. Customer support did acknowledge I had violated the rules and therefore my accounts needed to be terminated, but also they were able to provide a path forward so I can continue trading with ETF, so this incident did not end up in a total loss for me!

Happy about the final outcome!

I had three 150k elite funds accounts

I had three 150k elite funds accounts, but failed the challenge because I was too hasty. Allowing elite accounts to be reset without starting from an eval account is exciting news across the industry. Most importantly, the reset fee for elite accounts has been significantly reduced.

Rules designed to prevent withdrawals

This company sells marketing, not real trading opportunities. The rules and products are structured so that reaching a payout is extremely difficult, even for disciplined traders. I tried multiple times with different accounts and resets, and most failures were due to rule violations, not bad trading.

Trading under constant fear of drawdown limits and consistency rules is not real professional trading. On volatile markets, accounts can be wiped in minutes even with reasonable risk management. In the end, you struggle just to withdraw a few hundred dollars every couple of weeks, if you get there at all.

From my experience, the business model seems focused on fees and resets, not on funding successful traders. I do not recommend this company.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We understand that our rules and risk parameters may not suit every trading style. That said, thousands of traders have successfully received payouts under these same rules, with payout proof regularly shared on our website and in our Discord community.

Our evaluation process is designed to ensure traders are prepared before we allocate real capital in live markets. We regularly transition and invest our capital to support traders in live markets, and our risk framework exists to protect both the trader and the firm in real market conditions.

While market volatility can be challenging, long-term success ultimately comes down to disciplined risk management within the structure agreed to at signup. We appreciate the feedback and wish you the best in your trading journey.

Helpful Clarification and Professional Learning Experience

I had a very helpful experience clarifying how TradingView and Tradovate account connections work during an evaluation. I was not fully aware that TradingView paper trading could potentially impact a connected live evaluation account, as I had always understood paper trading to be strictly for learning purposes.

Once this was explained clearly, it helped me better understand the importance of account selection and platform connections when trading in an evaluation environment. I appreciate the clarification and the opportunity to learn from this experience.

Going forward, I will keep my paper trading account logged out entirely during my evaluation process to avoid any confusion. Thank you for helping clear this matter up in a professional and supportive manner.
