Next Step Funded Reviews 885

Pure scam, wasted my time and money!

LISTEN TO ME NOW!!! I am trying to save you time and money this prop firm is absolutely a SCAM they literally manipulated my trades to make me purposely lose money
I passed their Flash evaluation and was supposed to get a standard 2 step but somehow I blew a 50k account on a lot size of 1.47 moving no more than 50 pips i somehow lost 67k!!! its fully a bunch of scammers running this website please protect your funds we need to shut these scammers down absolutely ridiculous

Scammers-do not use this prop firm
They make rules up and don’t follow them,they lie and deceive just not to pay out really bad prop firm
There is zero transparency from this company after me sending multiple counts of evidence regarding the issue they just ignore you

Absolute waste of time. Do not even bother. Keep your money and don't give it to them.

There's always an excuse not to pay out, and the support is horrendous. They don't care about answering your enquiry, and they always put the blame onto you, if there is an issue.

The trading rules with this firm mean you cannot trade the way you want to, and these rules mean there is no chance of making a decent amount of profit.

Once you get accommlished at trading you will realise that this firm is for amateur traders starting out, its not for serious professional traders.

**Trustpilot Review**

I am disappointed with the lack of communication regarding my payout. I requested my payout on October 11th and followed up on October 15th and again on October 18th, but I have not received any updates or responses to my inquiries regarding my account (104287).

It’s frustrating to be left in the dark after multiple attempts to get clarification. I hope to see some improvement in their communication and support moving forward.

Overall, my experience has not met my expectations, and I urge the team to enhance their responsiveness to customer concerns.

I took a challenge since March 2024, and I kept the account funded since March until date. with each withdrawal request they found a non-existent reason to reject my request, 4 requests rejected, and now I'm tired of this last request that they just rejected and the reason, because I kept trades during the weekend, the most ridiculous thing in all this is that all NSF challenges agree to keep trades during the weekend. I want to warn you people not to lose your money. I'm not in bad faith guys, I know how hard it is to make an effort and fall for a scam, it's wasted time that we will never get back. I wanted to change my economic situation, but NSF stole almost a year of my life, imagine the effort the disappointment received. I started with the worst, so avoid it.

If you are profitable, they denied for copy trading ,,,, so I restart and restart every time profitable every time the same. another 5600 $ Payout denied. SCAMMER

Complete SCAM ! They don't pay !!!!! Please Please Please run away from this horrible propfirm ! for a 2nd time, they denied my payout ! Don't waste time with them ! They are NOT LEGIT !

Like the majority of these firms - they make their money from the challenges and finding reasons not to pay out your profits.
I have consistently made profits, but every time I'm refused the payout, because I'm not trading consistently apparently. So they are simply taking my profits and leaving me with nothing each month.
The biggest scam is the fact that when they do their checks, they only take into account profitable trades - not losing ones.
So imagine in one day, you have losing trades of $99 and winning trades of $100. That's $1 profit. But no, that's $100 profit when working out consistency, so you will lose that $100 if it is above the averages. It's scandalous.
Then they lost me a load of money moving to a new broker and closing all my trades.
And finally, I left a trade open over the weekend, so that's my account closed.
Makes no difference anyway, they are never going to pay out. Plus they only use MT5 now and all my indicators etc are for MT4.
Be warned, this company is a scam, but then so are many others in this industry with these ridiculous rules.

Paid for challenge, received nothing. Bank statement shows all details,yet they claim to have no record of purchase.
I had hoped that this company could be trusted, but it seems unlikely.
As if to further demonstrate that they are full of it. ..An apology with delivery of NOTHING!!
It may be time to end the charade

After they declined my withdrawal for ineligible reasons, they migrated to a new provider... All good, I don't mind.

My account never got activated. I have sent several webforms and now my account is deactivated due to inactivity and it can not be reversed?

Too shady for words.

They make up rules as they go along,
They said u traded news when I did not we all have forex factory and see red folder news
So they denied my payout when I journaled every single trade and know for a fact I DID not trade news
I have wiser then for proof and still awaiting this
I would go to another prop firm that don’t want to scam people

Everything seemed fine with Next Step Funded until they migrated. I have not ever had a payout but I have a funded account, then during the migration they accused me of "weekend holding". I can see from my own trades and records there is not a single trade that was left open over the weekend. Instead of helping me they took 45 days to respond to my messages because their support is almost non existent and then when they actually responded they didn't check the trades they just confirmed that I had an account breach that was due to weekend holding. Slow service, incompetent staff and a business that is clearly going downhill.

It is a shame because next step could clean up the space. Instead I am now one of their victims like many others. I won't be able to retrieve my money back through a chargeback as it has been too long.

HORRIBLE SCAM PROP FIRM

They just denied my payout today Again even though I had trades that met the consistency rules.
They just cite all those trades as consistency rule breach and remove the profits so they don't pay.
They do what they like and get angry when challenged, they closed their Discord Chat just prior to The new cycle of Payouts so they don't have to explain themselves.
Well atleast I know they'll shut down soon but not without taking people's hard earned money away.
Don't even bother with them.

Horrible firm. Paid out first two times, then denied 3 withdrawal requests, making up reasons that is false. They get angry when you challenge them when they are wrong.

Trades flagged by them that fall right in the middle of my trading range, they cite them as outside range just to remove trades and not to pay.

If you want to lose your money, then you trust these fools.

EDIT AFTER NSF REPLY:

Yes, of course you need to review withdrawals against the rules, but then you need to apply it correctly. I showed your support more than once exactly that my trades does comply with the rules.

This is blatantly cheating / willingly not wanting to pay out my withdrawal which is the number one identifier of a scam firm. Pay out two or three withdrawals to suck more clients in, then deny them. From your discord it is clear all withdrawals are only small numbers. Don't advertise yourself as a trusted firm when you clearly are not.

Would recommend everyone to put there money elsewhere!

Doesnt do payouts, even if you are following there rules. I gave them the benefit of the doubt when trying them out, but all i can say is that it was a waste of my time and money.

Scammers. Purchased a challenge but did not receive account. Update : They only sent account credentials after i wrote this review. Yup blown my account. No big deal as its a "Flash Challenge" Will i purchase another challenge with this firm and gave them business? Definitely not.

I got an account from the next step funded. I have been trading pretty much nicely until when am nearing payout time I get a massive profit that I have no idea where it came from. From then on no matter how small my volumes are the profit and losses am getting are huge until I made a huge loss from a small volume and got my account locked for reaching drawdown limit.

I bought a flash evaluation and they still haven’t given me the account. It’s a 25k account. It’s only 22 dollars but on discord they removed the chats so that no one can talk. Stay away and don’t buy anything from this prop firm. This prop firm has gone to dust and any money you spend on there website just be sure u ain’t getting that back at all. Don’t waste ur time. I repeat don’t waste ur time on this prop firm. Go with E8 market
