Breach of guidelines
Go with Finotive only if you’re okay with a 10% profit split
I am writing this review to document my experience with Finotive Funding and to warn other traders about how “holistic” and subjective risk reviews can be used to reduce payouts even when you respect all published rules.
I traded an Instant Funding account with a profit split that should have been 70%, and my hard‑earned payout for this cycle should have been 1,678.30 USD. Finotive reduced this payout to just 10%, citing a “holistic” Risk Review and a pattern of “repeatedly established substantial same‑direction aggregate exposure”, even though they did not identify a single breach of the written dashboard limits (lot size, notional exposure, drawdown, etc.) that they advertise to traders as the objective risk metrics.
The positions their Risk Team highlighted (for example 9.05 lots USDJPY, 13.65 lots NZDUSD, 11.92 lots AUDUSD and 14.48 lots NZDUSD) were opened at roughly the same time as parts of planned trade setups, with predefined risk, stop‑losses and take‑profit levels. They were not martingale, recovery or “chasing losses” strategies, and I did not progressively add size as the market moved against me. I split one trade idea into two or more tickets to manage partial profit‑taking and scaling out more cleanly. The total risk for each setup was calculated and controlled from the outset, and I remained within the firm’s published maximum lot‑size and notional‑volume constraints.
Despite this, the Risk Team repeatedly insisted that the account had “repeated substantial same‑direction aggregate exposure”, but refused to provide any concrete thresholds or numbers. I asked multiple times for:
- The exact contractual clause used to justify cutting the payout.
- The account‑level risk or exposure threshold they believe I exceeded.
- The objective criteria that distinguish “acceptable” from “unacceptable” aggregate exposure.
- Clear prospective guidelines so I could avoid the same issue in future.
None of these questions received a substantive answer. Instead, the firm kept repeating the same phrases about “holistic review”, “sustainability of aggregate exposure” and “overall trading conduct”, while explicitly admitting that the decision “was not made on the basis of those individual provisions” (lot‑size limits, drawdown rules, etc.). In other words, even if you comply with all the published dashboard metrics, your payout can still be reduced based on a discretionary, undefined standard applied after the fact.
When I challenged this and asked for transparency, the tone of the responses shifted from “review in progress” to “decision is final” and then to warnings that further emails “may not receive another substantive response”. The final message from the Risk Team states that the matter is closed and that no further reconsideration will be undertaken unless I produce “materially new information”, even though they never provided the basic quantitative criteria needed for a trader to understand what they consider unacceptable exposure in the first place.
I accept that prop firms must manage risk and prevent abuse. However, doing so through vague, subjective standards that override published limits—without clear numbers, examples or advance guidance—creates a hidden layer of rules that traders cannot reasonably anticipate or comply with. It undermines trust in the firm’s dashboard metrics, profit‑split promises and payout process, because you can be told after the fact that your trading was “not sustainable” even when every visible rule was respected.
My view is simple:
If a specific aggregate‑exposure limit exists, it should be clearly written, quantified and shown in the dashboard, just like other limits.
If multiple tickets for one setup are considered “accumulation”, that should be explicitly prohibited and defined before trading, not retroactively used to justify payout reduction.
If the firm intends to rely on a purely discretionary “holistic” standard to approve or cut payouts, traders deserve to know this up front so they can make an informed decision about whether to trade there.
Until Finotive either restores my full payout or provides transparent, quantitative risk criteria that traders can actually follow, I cannot recommend them. I hope this review helps other traders understand the potential risk of discretionary payout reductions and encourages the firm to live up to the reputation it is trying to build on public review platforms.

SCAM company they spend multi millions on advertising and building there platform to look sleek and proffesional but there are so many hidden rules and even so many visible rules ...ie can't trade so many times one way with one instrument otherwise your profit will go down from 90% to 10% so many traders will get paid out when it's only a few hundred but anything above 1k and they will be reluctant to pay and make all sorts of excuses .Cnat have 40% of trades held for less than 2 mins so bad for scalpers!Payments delayed or withdrawn or reduced to only 10% and if paid ts not ontime ..ie having to wait weeks longer ! It's the B model playbook .Where they only payout from people buying challenges ! Risky strategy people will lose trust and they will go BUST

We strongly reject this review as false and misleading.
Our records show that you have received 23 successful payouts from Finotive, all processed without issue and many completed within minutes. At no stage were your payouts withheld because they exceeded $1,000, nor have you personally experienced the weeks-long payment delays described in this review.
This review was posted after two separate trading accounts exceeded their published maximum drawdown limits within two days. Those accounts were not closed because you were profitable, because you were a scalper, or because Finotive was “reluctant to pay.” They were closed because the drawdown limits were breached.
Our trading rules are published and accessible before an account is purchased, are displayed within the trader dashboard, and apply equally to all traders. Describing published risk parameters as “hidden rules” does not make them hidden, particularly after receiving 23 payouts under the same framework.
Finotive has consistently honoured your valid payouts. A trader breaching the maximum drawdown does not make the company a scam, and a negative trading outcome does not invalidate the rules that were accepted when the accounts were purchased.
We are always prepared to review genuine concerns through our official support channels, but we will not accept materially inaccurate public allegations simply because two accounts were recently breached.

I really appreciate this company and I love my experience with them

Strike recorded in error — firm reviewed it and restored the account in full
Lost a $200,000 Challenge account closed for exceeding 5 strikes under the Notional Volume rule. One of the five strikes was recorded at exactly 1,000% against a 1,000% limit — equal to the limit, not above it.
UPDATE (18 August 2026): Resolved. After I raised the case again, Finotive's risk team reviewed it properly, confirmed the disputed strike had been applied incorrectly, removed all strikes and reset the account to its full $200,000 starting balance — more than I had asked for. Credit where it is due: they investigated honestly and fixed their own mistake without argument, and that says a lot about how a firm handles a dispute. Raising the rating accordingly. I will share my further experience with them as I continue trading this account.

We are sorry to read this, but as the review has been posted anonymously and contains no account number, payout reference or identifying information, we are currently unable to locate or verify the case described.
Finotive pays more than 300 traders each week, with our payouts publicly verified through Prop Firm Match. A payout remaining unresolved for three weeks without any response would not reflect our normal service standards, so we would like the opportunity to investigate exactly what has happened.
Please contact support@finotivefunding.com from the email address registered to your account and include your account number and payout reference. Once we can identify the account, we will review the payment status and any previous correspondence immediately.
We take genuine payment concerns seriously, but without any information linking this anonymous review to a Finotive account, we cannot confirm the circumstances or provide a case-specific response.

Awful experience
This is one of those prop firms that look promising but when you begin to get involved with it, it turns into a literal NIGHTMARE!
I have been trading with FINOTIVE for some months and it was ok, especially for scalping.
Low spreads, low commissions and good conditions overall... Until you get funded...
Bro, out of nowhere, you begin to experience unbearable slippage on your entries. And worse, the orders take forever to execute making you lose on both entries and exits. Scalpers know why this is bad.
As if the crappy execution wasn't enough, they show a list of BIZARRE metrics on your dashboard, things that make literally no sense like:
- If more than 40% of your positions are not held for more than 120 seconds, you get a "strike", meaning they reduce your next payout to 10%, regardless of the outcome.
- If more than 20% of your profit comes from the first half of Asia session, you get another strike. Like what about people who can trade only this session? this is ridiculous, they call it "liquidity abuse", say what?
Wait wait... the worse is yet to come.
- They will strike you if you decide to trade one side of the market...Forcing you to take positions on the opposite side just so you can avoid triggering the "One-sided rule".
- They will also strike you if your volume is concentrated on one side. Making the same rule count as two strikes because they will close the account on your fifth strike.
- You cannot have more than 2% of the ORIGINAL starting balance in floating loss, regardless of your current day starting balance. Like if you have a 10K account, you will FOREVER be forced to have a stop loss below 200 bucks regardless of how much you grow the account.
I get it, they gotta make money somehow, but this is not fair at all. It's just predatory!
I do not recommend this firm. It will leave a bitter taste to your trading.
EDIT: Because I refused to waste time on providing more details about what they already know to be true (You can check all the other reviews they got, everyone is saying the same thing about them), they resorted to personal attack, trying to use my negative reviews of some other firms as a "moral lesson". How professional.
Fortunately, Trustpilot is independent and can be used to expose predatory firms like this one, they are growing like mushrooms.

Reply from Finotive Funding
We asked the reviewer to provide an account number, trade IDs, execution times or any other information that would allow us to investigate the alleged “awful execution.”
Their response was simply: “Don’t even bother” and “Fix the awful execution conditions.” in the email and account details field. Very helpful
Unfortunately, neither of those are a reference number, and our Risk Team cannot investigate anonymous trades based entirely on dramatic adjectives.
It is also difficult to ignore the reviewer’s publicly visible history. Since the beginning of this year, they appear to have left approximately 16 reviews across trading and gambling-related companies — roughly two different providers every month. The pattern is remarkably consistent: favourable outcomes receive four or five stars, while losses are followed by claims that the provider is “rigged,” “predatory” or responsible for the outcome.
Everyone is entitled to leave a review, but repeatedly losing and then blaming the platform is not technical evidence of manipulated execution. At some point, the common denominator deserves at least as much scrutiny as the latest company being reviewed.
The claims regarding our rules are also materially misleading. Our risk metrics are displayed within the trader dashboard so traders can monitor them. They do not require traders to deliberately take opposite positions, manufacture losing trades or randomly change their strategy. Trading during lower-liquidity periods is not automatically prohibited, and receiving an unfavourable fill is not proof of execution manipulation.
Slippage and execution speed are influenced by liquidity, volatility, order size and the price available when an instruction reaches the market. This is precisely why legitimate execution complaints require specific trade IDs and timestamps.
We remain prepared to conduct a proper investigation as soon as the reviewer provides the relevant account and trade information. Until then, demanding that we “fix” unidentified trades on an unidentified account is not a genuine attempt to resolve a complaint.
Sometimes the platform is not the problem, and a losing trade is simply a losing trade.
Extremely disappointing experience
Extremely disappointing experience. My funded account has been frozen for over a month due to an alleged hedging violation. During this entire time, I have received no final decision, no meaningful updates, and no clear explanation despite repeatedly contacting the compliance team.
Blocking a trader's account and funds for such a long period without transparency or a reasonable timeframe is completely unacceptable. A professional company should communicate clearly and resolve compliance cases promptly, not leave customers waiting indefinitely.
At this point, I have lost confidence in Finotive Funding. I strongly advise anyone considering this firm to think carefully before depositing money or relying on them, as you may end up waiting for weeks or even months without any resolution or communication.

Reply from Finotive Funding
We understand that any account restriction is frustrating. However, this review omits the central reason for the restriction and gives a misleading impression that the account was frozen arbitrarily.
Our review identified that two of YOUR accounts opened directly opposing positions in the same instrument, creating a calculated hedge ratio of 98.87%. This significantly exceeded the applicable 70% threshold.
Purchasing multiple accounts and placing offsetting trades across them is one of the clearest and most serious prohibited activities under our Terms and Conditions. It allows the trader to create opposing exposure across accounts and potentially benefit from one account regardless of the market’s direction. Our decision was based on the actual orders and execution records—not on assumptions about your intentions.
We also investigated the claim that the Compliance Team repeatedly ignored your emails for more than a month. We were unable to locate any previous correspondence from your registered email address concerning this case, so we cannot substantiate the allegation that repeated messages were left unanswered.
The specific positions, calculation and relevant rule have now been provided to you directly. We will not publish your account numbers or order details publicly, but they clearly demonstrate the reason for the action taken.
Should you believe any of the execution records are inaccurate, please contact support@finotivefunding.com from your registered email address. However, describing a documented cross-account hedging violation as an unexplained or arbitrary restriction is not an accurate representation of what occurred.
Think Twice Before Paying This Company
Think Twice Before Paying This Company
My experience with Finotive has been extremely disappointing, and honestly, I regret putting my money into this company.
The biggest problem was the restrictions placed on Gold (XAUUSD). I was unable to trade with the lot size I reasonably expected based on the account size and leverage presented when I purchased the account. These restrictions seriously affected my ability to execute my trading strategy. What is the point of purchasing an account under certain advertised conditions if significant restrictions can later prevent you from actually trading it properly?
But the payout rules are even more concerning.
According to their rules, if 70% of your trades are in one direction or concentrated on one instrument, this can be considered a violation and can affect your payout. In my case, this meant that after doing the work and generating profits, the amount I was actually entitled to receive could be reduced to only 10%.
This makes absolutely no sense to me as a trader.
The market does not move according to an artificial quota of buy trades versus sell trades. If the market spends an entire week in a strong bullish trend and my strategy produces valid buy setups, why should I be forced to take trades in the opposite direction just to satisfy an arbitrary percentage?
A trader should be judged on risk management, execution and profitability, not punished simply because their strategy correctly identifies the prevailing market direction.
The biggest lesson I learned is this:
You can follow your strategy, manage your risk, make profits — and still find yourself restricted by rules that have nothing to do with whether your trading is actually good or bad.
I would strongly advise anyone considering this company to read every single rule carefully and understand exactly what can happen to your profits before paying for an account.
There are plenty of other prop firms out there. Personally, I would rather take my money somewhere with rules that allow traders to actually trade their strategy instead of constantly worrying about whether profitability itself will trigger another restriction.
And yes, maybe the company will be happy to see a review like this.
Because if the rules make it difficult for traders to actually win and withdraw their profits, then apparently the business model is working exactly as intended.

Unprompted review
Reply from Finotive Funding
We invited this reviewer to provide their account number and relevant details so that we could investigate the alleged Gold restrictions and payout issue. They refused to provide them.
As a result, we cannot verify which product they purchased, what lot size they attempted to place, whether any order was rejected, whether any payout was reduced, or whether they have ever submitted a payout at all. We cannot conduct an account investigation using “Think Twice Before Paying This Company” as the reference number.
The review also incorrectly suggests that account leverage gives a trader the right to place unlimited exposure on a single instrument. It does not. Leverage, available margin, maximum order sizes and instrument-specific exposure controls are separate considerations. The reviewer has provided no evidence that any advertised condition was changed after their purchase.
The one-sided trading metric is also being misrepresented. It does not require traders to maintain an artificial 50/50 balance between buy and sell positions, nor does it force anyone to deliberately trade against the market. It measures whether trading activity is overwhelmingly concentrated in one direction across a sufficient number of trades. The metric is transparently displayed within the dashboard so that traders can monitor it themselves.
These controls exist to assess trading behaviour and risk, not to punish someone simply for being profitable. Making profits does not itself trigger a restriction, despite the dramatic conclusion of this review.
The reviewer states that prospective customers should read every rule carefully before purchasing. On that point, we completely agree. Our rules and risk metrics are published precisely so that traders can decide whether the product suits their strategy before making a purchase.
We remain prepared to review this matter properly. However, refusing to identify the account while publicly alleging that profits were restricted leaves us with no evidence to examine and no way to confirm that the events described occurred as claimed.
The rules are overly restrictive and…
The rules are overly restrictive and make the trading conditions unnecessarily difficult. In addition to the Liquidity Abuse rule, traders face restrictions on trading in only one direction, trading the same instrument/currency repeatedly, and opening consecutive trades. These rules can interfere with normal trading strategies and risk management, especially when market conditions clearly favor one direction.
The combination of these restrictions, low thresholds, and severe payout penalties creates an environment where traders can be penalized for normal trading behavior rather than genuine abuse. I believe the rules should be simplified, more transparent, and focused on preventing actual exploitation rather than restricting legitimate trading str

Thank you for the review. However, your description turns defined risk controls into blanket trading restrictions, which is not how the rules operate.
Finotive does not prohibit traders from having a directional market view or trading a preferred instrument. The One-Sided Position Concentration rule applies only when its defined criteria are met, including a concentration of 70% or more on the same symbol and in the same direction after at least 10 closed trades.
More importantly, this is a recoverable condition. Reaching the threshold does not automatically result in an account closure or payout penalty. The trader can continue trading compliantly and bring the metric back within the permitted threshold before requesting a Reward Payment.
So the distinction is quite simple: trading repeatedly in one direction is not, by itself, what triggers the rule. Meeting the defined concentration criteria is.
Describing that as Finotive penalising “normal trading behaviour” leaves out the very thresholds and recovery mechanism that determine how the rule actually operates.
Very helpfull

Do not wast your time
I would strongly advise prospective traders to exercise caution before investing significant time and money with this firm. Based on my experience, they appear willing to process smaller payouts, but when accounts reach higher payout levels, various reasons may be given to deny or reduce payments.
The reality of proprietary trading is that only a very small percentage of traders successfully reach the payout stage. After investing substantial amounts in challenge fees and funded accounts, traders who eventually achieve profitability should reasonably expect the company to honour its commitments.
In my case, after several unsuccessful attempts, I finally reached a payout stage. However, my payout was rejected on the grounds of alleged over-leveraging and a claim that I was not trading independently. I found these accusations both disappointing and unfounded. Throughout my trading activity, I monitored and complied with the firm's stated notional value and leverage limits. These concerns were only raised once I became eligible for a payout.
The experience left me questioning the company's intentions and business practices. From my perspective, the reasons provided appeared inconsistent with the rules I had followed during the evaluation process.
I encourage anyone considering this firm to conduct thorough due diligence and carefully review the experiences of other traders before committing funds. My personal experience has led me to lose confidence in the company's ability to fairly and consistently honour trader payouts.
----added after Finotive responded to my original review:
It is interesting that you were able to take the time to respond publicly to this review, yet my email regarding the incorrect strikes on my account, which I believe may have resulted from a coding or system error, remains unanswered.
Anyone familiar with the proprietary trading industry understands that traders are not investing capital with prop firms in the traditional sense. Therefore, your response misses the point entirely. More concerning is the fact that you state you cannot identify me. That raises the question of how many other traders have experienced similar issues.
Before writing this review, I deliberately avoided reading the experiences of other traders because I wanted my comments to be based solely on my own dealings with your company. Unfortunately, my experience has been disappointing.
I would be interested to hear your explanation for why an £80 payout was processed without any concerns being raised, yet when larger amounts became involved, issues suddenly appeared. Likewise, why was my complaint regarding erroneous strikes on a £100,000 account left unanswered until it had already affected my trading performance?
From what I have seen, a common reason given for denying payouts is the allegation that a trader is "not trading independently." If I were to review the list of traders who have been refused payouts on those grounds, I would not be surprised to find myself among them.
Traders deserve clear communication, transparency, and consistent application of the rules. Based on my experience, I did not receive those standards, and I believe prospective traders should take that into account before deciding to do business with your firm.

An impressively detailed accusation—with one rather important detail missing: any evidence that you were ever a Finotive customer.
This review was posted anonymously. We requested basic information through Trustpilot so that we could identify the account and investigate the alleged payout rejection, including the registered email address, account number, payout reference or relevant correspondence. You provided nothing and did not respond.
That leaves us with no identifiable account, no payout request, no trading records, no Risk Review and no evidence supporting any part of this story.
You claim that Finotive pays “smaller payouts” but invents reasons when traders reach “higher payout levels.” Yet you have not disclosed the amount allegedly requested, the amount allegedly rejected, the account involved or even proof that a payout request existed. A serious allegation does not become credible simply because it is written in several paragraphs.
Your explanation also misunderstands—or conveniently ignores—the difference between separate trading requirements.
Remaining within a displayed notional-value limit does not automatically prove that an account was traded independently. Overexposure, coordinated activity, account sharing, copying, third-party operation and other prohibited conduct are assessed separately. Compliance with one metric is not permission to breach another.
It is also entirely normal for certain checks to be completed when a payout is requested. That is the point at which simulated performance is reviewed before a Reward Payment is approved. Claiming that an issue was “only raised once I became eligible for a payout” is not evidence of wrongdoing; it is a description of when a payout review takes place.
For clarity, Finotive Funding provides access to a simulated trading evaluation programme. Challenge fees are not client investments, and traders are not depositing trading capital with Finotive for us to manage.
Despite the reviewer refusing to provide a single identifying detail, Trustpilot has chosen to leave this review published and determined that it does not breach its guidelines concerning reviews not based on a genuine experience. Readers should understand what that actually means: Trustpilot’s decision to leave a review online is not confirmation that the reviewer was a customer, requested a payout or supplied evidence supporting the allegation.
At present, this is an anonymous accusation that cannot be matched to any account or independently verified.
Provide the registered account details and the alleged payout decision, and we will investigate the matter transparently. Until then, warning others about a supposedly “personal experience” while refusing to provide any proof that the experience occurred speaks for itself.
Easy to use.

A genuine missing deposit creates a traceable payment record. It does not become untraceable simply because the reviewer chooses to make a dramatic public allegation instead of supplying the information required to locate it.
The irony of accusing a company of dishonesty while refusing to provide a single detail that would allow the alleged transaction to be verified speaks for itself.
Regrettably, Trustpilot has also chosen to leave this review published, stating that it does not breach its guidelines regarding reviews “not based on a genuine experience,” despite the reviewer failing to provide any documentation or verifiable customer information. Readers should therefore understand that the continued presence of a review on Trustpilot does not necessarily mean that the experience, transaction or even the reviewer’s customer status has been verified.
Trustpilot’s decision to publish an unsupported anonymous allegation is a reflection of its moderation process. It is not evidence that Finotive received, withheld or “stole” anyone’s money.
Should the reviewer provide an identifiable account email, payment confirmation or transaction reference, we will investigate the matter properly. Until then, this remains an anonymous and completely unsubstantiated accusation.
