Hello Destiny,

This rule is clearly stated in multiple areas on our website stating how this works and the effect it will have on withdrawals.

Following feedback from traders we introduced EnhancedX which does not have the withdrawal buffer requirement and therefore maybe more suited to you.

Kind Regards,

Something I noticed was the lack

Something I noticed was the lack of pressure. With no minimum trading days I could take my time and wait for the best setups without feeling rushed. This helped me trade my plan and pass the challenge easily.

Everything is good and fine with hantec…

Everything is good and fine with hantec trader funded account, but only the issue as per my concern too much of time to provide live account credentials after completing the challenge account, if you could provide credentials details with in a day or will be more helpful for traders they can make more profits please look into it and try provide live credentials within 24hrs.

They resolved my problem in a satisfactory way.

There was an issue with the candles and prices in the chart.

Hantec Trader resolved it in a way that I am 100 percent satisfied with their dedicated support team.

Thank you very much Trust Pilot and Hantec Trader! 🙇🏻‍♀️🤝

Transparent and Reliable

Transparency is very important to me and this firm is very clear about all its rules. What you see on the website is what you get. The hard breach rules are fair and based on industry standards. I passed the challenge by focusing on consistent small gains on EUR/USD. The support team is top-notch. I had a small issue and Paulo was able to resolve it for me professionally. Getting my first payout so quickly was the best part. It shows they are serious and reliable.

Change your withdrawal buffet....

Change your withdrawal buffet..... Its manipulative. I withdrew my profit and didn't trade again until the next day only for me to place trade and then i received a mail saying i breached account. You guys are being extremely manipulative and i feel you should be looked into. There's no room for success with this prop firm

Hello Edem,

Thank you for your review.

We clearly state in multiple sections of the website how withdrawals affect your maximum total loss. We have this rule in place to ensure sustainability which means we payout traders every time with no delays.

We do appreciate your review and will look into your suggestion.

Fast, Reliable, and Truly Legit!

I purchased an instant account and received my login credentials within five minutes—super efficient! This is hands down one of the best prop firms I’ve ever worked with. Their process is smooth, their support is solid, and everything feels genuinely professional.

However, I’d like to suggest reviewing the margin requirements for XAUUSD. A margin of 168 is extremely high compared to the standard 4.65—that’s nearly 36 times higher. It would be great to see this adjusted to make trading more accessible and competitive.

Overall, I highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for a trustworthy and legit trading partner.

Excessive Profit Target

Hantec Trader is a reputable company having traded with the firm for over a year now, and I appreciate that they refund the challenge fee on your first payout.
However, my main concern is with their rules once a trader is funded.

For example, if you’re given a $10K live account, you’re required to create:

A 10% buffer for future risk

Your 10% target for withdrawal

This means that, effectively, you must aim for 35% total (Phase 1 – 10%, Phase 2 – 5%, Funded – 20%) just to be eligible for a 10% withdrawal.
I find this very punitive, as it places an excessive profit target on the trader.

My view: Once a trader has reached the live stage, any profits made should be paid out, and the account should then be reset to its original balance after each payout. This would be more trader-friendly and still protect the firm’s capital.

DEVOLUÇÃO DO PAGAMENTO E DESCLASSIFICAÇÃO

I took the Hantec 200k test and passed phase 1 and phase 2, achieving all my objectives. I signed the KYC, but after 3 days of account verification, I was disqualified without reason, accused of a serious violation.

Not only that, I contacted Chat on August 7, 2025, and was informed that the $746.13 test fee would be REFUNDED, but I haven't received any response yet. Later that day, I contacted Chat again, and the representative "Dani" informed me that she "didn't have this information." I sent an email directly through the website and have not received any response yet.

I was informed that I WOULD RECEIVE a REFUND of the amount paid for the test, so I await the refund of $746.13.

realizei o teste de 200k da Hantec e fui aprovado na fase 1 e na fase 2 com todos os objetivos atingidos, assinei o KYC e depois de 3 dias de verificação da conta fui desclassificado sem motivos acusado de infração grave

Não bastando isso entrei em contato com o Chat dia 07/08/2025 e fui informado que o valor do teste de $746.13 seria DEVOLVIDO, mas até agora não obtive nenhum retorno. No final do mesmo dia entrei em contato novamente com o chat e o(a) atendente "Dani" me informou que "não tinha essas informações", encaminhei um email diretamente pelo site e até agora não tive nenhuma resposta.

Tive a informação que RECEBERIA a DEVOLUÇÃO do valor pago no teste, sendo assim, aguardo a devolução de $746.13.

Hello Vinicius,

Firstly, the reason for the rejection was due to you using 99% margin during Stage 1. This is prohibited under T&C 7.2.C.xv - Overleveraging, this is also listed in our FAQs. We clearly outline 85% is the maximum margin usage across one or connected assets.

I have reviewed your refund and can see this has already been processed on 08.08.2025.

Kind Regards,

Their prop is shit

Their prop is shit, the price is quite high compared to other firm and the most annoying thing is that they don’t allow drawdown from the profit you’ve already made while trading another one…very rubbish thing

Don’t buy a challenge

When you make your first withdrawal, your account’s max drawdown resets to its initial balance. In other words, if you buy a $200k account, make a $4k profit, and then withdraw that profit, your max drawdown is no longer 10%—it becomes the original account balance ($200k). Basically, your account becomes disposable, and it makes no difference whether you have a $50k or $200k account, since the maximum you can risk is what you’ve earned yourself.

They’re not looking for long-term consistent traders. This rule actually encourages you to try to make as much profit as possible before your first withdrawal, then withdraw everything quickly, and eventually blow the account.

Also, they don’t refund your challenge fee after you pass, which is another reason I wouldn’t recommend trusting a prop firm that doesn’t return your fee upon approval.

Hello João,

It is clearly stated how withdrawals affect your maximum loss on our website in multiple places. Alongside this, when requesting a withdrawal you are informed how your withdrawal amount will affect your buffer.

The approach you have mentioned is not one we typically see. Traders understand the rule and keep a sufficient buffer once requesting their first withdrawal. From this they continue to build and we have many traders who have taken multiple payouts on their account and continue to hold accounts with us.

Any revenue generated through challenge fees is used to maintain infrastructure and services to ensure a seamless and high level service for traders.

Kind Regards,

It's good, but goodbye.

The advantage is that the first withdrawal has no day limit, which is a very good thing. But the worst thing, and will make me not come back to this propfirm again, is the payout. Your portfolio will lose the Max drawdown, which is a very crazy rule. No propfirm does it. Of course, I withdrew my profit and said goodbye.

Hello Jitthapanakorn,

Whilst you may not like this rule, it allows us to manage our risk effectively and ensure we payout traders every time without any delays. We have had many traders who continue to trade accounts for a long period of time and maintaining their account.

We appreciate your feedback.
