Breach of guidelines
Unfair Account Closure and No Support Response
Unfortunately, my experience with this company has been very disappointing.
My account (3040670) was closed due to an alleged violation of the 1% risk rule, even though this rule was not clearly stated or enforced at the time I purchased the account. Applying rules retroactively is unfair and unprofessional.
I have contacted support and sent a formal email requesting clarification and a review of my case, but I have not received any response so far. This reflects very poor customer support.
I am a trader with over 5 years of experience and have successfully worked with multiple funding companies without any issues. This is the first time I encounter such treatment.
I hope the company will seriously review my case and provide a fair resolution, as what happened negatively impacts their credibility among traders.

Dear Mohammed,
Thank you for your feedback.
Following a thorough internal review by our Risk Team, I would like to confirm that the decision regarding account remains unchanged.
Our investigation reconfirmed that one or more trades exceeded the 1% maximum risk per trade rule applicable to funded accounts. As outlined in our trading guidelines, exceeding this threshold is classified as a hard breach, which results in the closure of the funded account. The assessment is based on system-recorded trade data, including the calculated risk between the entry price and stop loss at the time the trade was opened.
Regarding your concern about the applicability of the rule, the risk management requirements form part of the operational framework governing funded accounts. These rules are applied consistently across all traders to maintain a responsible risk environment and to protect the integrity of the program.
Because the breach falls under the hard breach category, we are unfortunately unable to reinstate the account or adjust the outcome beyond what has already been communicated. As a result, the account closure will remain in effect in accordance with our policy.
We understand that this outcome may be disappointing, and we sincerely regret the frustration this situation has caused. However, after completing the review process, this decision is considered final.
For reference, you may review the full program rules here:

Mismatch between dashboard DD and actual breach level
----------------------------------------------
UPDATE:
After further review, the issue has been resolved and my account has been reinstated.
I appreciate that the team took the time to review the discrepancy and provide a resolution.
--------------------------------------------
I had a funded account with Instant Funding (Account #8081145), which was closed due to a supposed daily drawdown violation.
The problem is very clear and very serious:
On my dashboard, my daily drawdown limit was clearly shown as **$9,000**, and I managed my risk based on that value, just like any trader would.
However, my account was closed for a daily drawdown breach around the **$9,600 level** — which means the breach was applied before reaching the $9,000 limit displayed on my dashboard.
This is not a simple misunderstanding. This is a direct inconsistency between:
* The daily drawdown limit shown to the trader
* The level actually used by the system to trigger a breach
I contacted support multiple times and explained the situation in detail, but my account is still closed and I have not received a clear resolution.
I also have **screenshots as evidence**
As a trader, the only thing I can rely on is the information shown on the platform. If the system displays one limit and applies another, this directly affects trading decisions and creates an unfair environment.
I am still waiting for a proper resolution from the risk team.
I will update this review depending on how this situation is handled.

Hi Fatih,
Thank you for explaining your case so clearly. We fully understand why this situation feels serious and unfair from your perspective.
If the dashboard showed a daily drawdown limit of $9,000 and your account was breached around $9,600, it’s completely reasonable to question how that breach was triggered. Traders rely on the platform’s displayed data to make decisions, so any mismatch between what is shown and what is enforced creates confusion and impacts trust.
In some cases, daily drawdown is calculated based on real-time equity (including floating PnL) and server-side values, while the dashboard is only a visual reference. However, this should never result in a situation where the displayed limit appears inconsistent with the actual breach level without a clear explanation.
Since you’ve already provided screenshots, we strongly recommend requesting a detailed breakdown from the Risk Team, including:
The exact equity level at the time of breach
How the daily drawdown was calculated step by step
Why it differs from the $9,000 value shown on your dashboard
Your concern about transparency is valid, and cases like this should be reviewed carefully to ensure accuracy and fairness. We appreciate you bringing this up and hope the team provides you with a clear and satisfactory resolution soon.

Hi Remzi,
We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this must feel after the time and effort you’ve put in.
We take claims about denied payouts and lack of communication very seriously. Please note that payout requests go through a review process to ensure all trading activity complies with the rules. If a payout is declined, it is always tied to a specific reason identified during that review. That said, you should still receive a clear explanation, and we acknowledge your concern about not getting proper responses.
Regarding Discord access, moderation actions are usually taken based on community guidelines, but we understand how this can add to the frustration if you’re already dealing with an unresolved issue.
We strongly encourage you to reach out again through your existing ticket or create a new one and include any screenshots or proof you mentioned, so the team can conduct a full review of your case. If there has been any misunderstanding or error, it should be addressed properly.
We do ask that communication remains respectful so we can assist you effectively and work toward a resolution.

Instantfunding is scams
I would like to share my experience with InstantFunding transparently to warn other traders.
I encountered a serious issue during trading. I placed a Sell Stop order, and the price reached the activation level, but the order was not executed until more than a minute later. This abnormal delay resulted in a direct loss.
I have clear video evidence proving this incident.
What made the situation worse is that I rely on strict risk management. This technical issue had a major psychological impact on my decision-making, which ultimately led to losing my account on the same day.
Additionally, I had previously attempted to request a refund after the company updated its rules, as I no longer felt confident trading with them. Unfortunately, the issue was not resolved appropriately.
Based on my experience:
I do not recommend dealing with this company, especially for traders who depend on precise execution and disciplined risk management.
I hope the company takes this feedback seriously and improves its services.

Title: Misleading Dashboard and Unfair Account Termination - Account Number: 8075040
Review Body:
I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Instant Funding. My funded account was suddenly terminated for a "5% daily drawdown" breach, which is completely unjustified based on the live data provided by their platform.
Here are the facts:
1. My dashboard explicitly stated: "No daily loss limit available" (I have a screenshot to prove this discrepancy).
2. My account was in an overall profit of +1.7% at the time of termination.
3. I was nowhere near the $4,500 (10%) Max Drawdown limit set for the account.
I managed my risk based on the criteria clearly displayed on my dashboard. Terminating a profitable account based on a rule that the system showed as "Not Available" is either a major technical glitch or a deceptive practice.
Traders should be able to trust the data provided by the firm. I have contacted the support team with all the evidence, and I expect my account to be restored immediately. Until then, I cannot recommend this firm due to this misleading information.

Hi Abdullah,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We completely understand your frustration. Terminating an account while it shows as profitable and when the dashboard explicitly stated “No daily loss limit available” is understandably alarming and concerning.
It sounds like there may have been a technical discrepancy between the dashboard display and the backend risk calculations. The team encourages submitting all screenshots and supporting evidence through a support ticket so they can review the account thoroughly. This helps ensure any potential errors are identified and addressed, and proper resolution can be reached.
We acknowledge that clear, reliable data is essential for traders to manage risk confidently, and your feedback highlights an important area for review. Until this is fully investigated, we understand why you would caution others.

Hi Yasin,
Thank you for sharing your concerns. We understand how frustrating it can be when a payout request is declined.
At Instant Funding, the 1% risk per trade idea rule is calculated based on the Entry–Stop Loss distance at the moment the trade is opened, along with the instrument’s tick value and position size. If the potential loss calculated from these parameters exceeds the permitted threshold, it may be classified under the Gambling / Over-Leveraging rule, which is considered a hard breach according to our trading policies.
We understand that the final outcome of a trade can sometimes appear different from the calculated risk at entry, especially with instruments like gold where price movement and tick values can significantly affect exposure.
We appreciate your feedback and your time trading with Instant Funding.
Denied payout and terminated account without clear proof
I had a very bad experience with Instant Funding. My payout of more than $5000 was denied, and my funded account worth $5000 was also terminated, so the total financial impact on me is around $10000. They accused me of copy trading and reverse trading, but the screenshots provided to me do not clearly prove that. The trades shown were not opened at the same time, and there were differences in timing, price, volume, and result. Similar trades on the same symbol are not automatically proof of copy trading. I asked for clear and detailed evidence, but what was shown to me was not enough for such a serious decision. I believe a company should provide full transparency before denying a payout and terminating an account.

Hi Md Sufian,
We understand your concerns and appreciate you reaching out before starting your funded account journey.
Every funded account program, including Instant Funding Micro, has strict rules regarding risk, stop-loss, and trading behavior. If a trade violates the risk limits (for example, exceeding the 1% risk per trade or daily drawdown), it can result in a breach or, in rare cases, account closure. That said, accounts are not blocked for minor mistakes, and most issues happen when trades consistently violate the rules.
Regarding delays and payout concerns, some payouts may require additional verification or review, especially for new accounts or unusual trading activity. This can occasionally extend processing time, but proper payouts are intended to be completed fully once all rules are met.
The best approach to avoid any problems: follow the rules strictly, double-check your stop-loss levels, and trade within the allowed risk limits. If any issue arises, Instant Funding support should assist you, though, based on multiple trader experiences, responses can sometimes be slow.
If you want, I can break down exactly how the 1% per trade and daily drawdown rules work, so you’ll know how to trade safely without risking an account closure. Do you want me to do that?
False Prop Firm
I would give a negative review if I could to be very honest I was trading on my account and I was following all the rules at hand and I was winning all my trades but they don't want to pay do they closed the trades and closed my account down guys stay away from this propfirm they are scammers and unprofessional to be very honest

Hi Lovell,
It’s clear from your experience that you feel extremely frustrated, and your concern is valid. Many traders have reported similar issues where accounts were closed, or payouts denied even when they believed they were following the rules. This often comes down to how the prop firm enforces their risk rules, sometimes using automated systems that may not always align with a trader’s calculations or expectations.
While Instant Funding claims to have specific rules about trade risk, stop-loss, and account behavior, multiple reports suggest these rules are applied in ways that can feel inconsistent or unfair, especially when trades are closed or accounts terminated unexpectedly.
Your warning is important for other traders: it shows that despite following rules, there can be risks of denied payouts and abrupt account closures with this firm. Sharing detailed experiences like yours helps others make informed decisions.
Traders should always verify prop firms carefully and consider more established alternatives that have transparent payout processes and consistent rule enforcement.
The Company Back to Track
The Company back to track it is very good for traders. They are promised to provide good environment for their traders and timely payout without facing any issue.
Now you can start low price programs and batter paid to reward ratio.
Follow rules and get paid.

These accounts are cheaper for a…
These accounts are cheaper for a reason: the advertised drawdown is not real. While they promote higher DD (like 10%), hidden and unclear rules effectively reduce your usable risk — sometimes to around 1% per trade idea, which completely changes what you actually bought.
The most serious issue is this: if you break one of these rules, they do NOT breach or warn you. They let you keep trading for weeks or even months without saying anything.
Then, only when you request a payout, the Risk Team reviews your account and uses those same rules to deny your payment.
This is extremely concerning because it means traders are allowed to operate accounts that may never be paid out.
That is not proper risk management — it is a system that ends up working against profitable traders instead of supporting them.
