Elite Trader Funding Review – Unfair Practices and Unjustified Payout Denial
I usually don’t write reviews, but due to the unfair and unrealistic reasons given for denying my payout, I feel obligated to warn other traders about my experience with Elite Trader Funding (ETF).
Despite successfully earning over $5,000 in profit in my funded account, my payout was denied, and my account was canceled on the grounds of alleged VPN usage. However, ETF provided no proof of such activity and failed to clarify how they determined that I was masking my IP. When I reached out via email to dispute this claim and stated that I do not use a VPN or any other IP-masking tools, I received no responses and my account closed.
The firm’s lack of transparency and accountability is deeply concerning. Their business model appears to be designed to attract traders with discounted prices, only to later find arbitrary reasons to deny payouts. If this is how they treat a trader on their first payout request—especially one with a single account—I can only imagine the obstacles they would create for those with multiple accounts.
This kind of unethical practice undermines traders’ hard work and aspirations of becoming successful professionals. No prop firm can sustain long-term success with such dishonest business ethics. I hope my experience serves as a warning to others before they invest their time and effort with ETF.
HAVE PHOTO PROOF WAS UNABLE TO UPLOAD HERE!!
Of course, you can’t find my account—you shut it down. And now you’re accusing me of posting fake reviews, even though I verified all my information with Trustpilot? That speaks volume's
