Kortana FX is great for its clear rules…

Kortana FX is great for its clear rules and support, though there have been some payout delays lately. I still trust them and bought another challenge at 40%.off. Using Easy Funded mt5, which I rented on MQL5, has been a game-changer -no pass fee costs or IP worries. It lets me focus on good trading while following the rules. Looking forward to my payouts once the delays are resolved❤️!

Kortana does not pay out traders' profits.

Don't believe the positive messages anymore, 99.9% of the positive messages are written by fake people just like this company of thieves. I have traded from only one computer with the same IP address, and the stupid management of the company claimed that I have traded from multiple IPs, without having any proof, while I have evidence that I traded from only one IP. Anyway, do not buy accounts from these lying scammers and thieves.

Can not login

Can't login into my MT4 credentials anymore, it loged me out and support doesn't text back, account is still active but the login doesn't work anymore and it says (invalid account) and the Support team doesn't care at all. Extremely unprofessional and very suspicious for a scam.
my account number is 2090157699

if the problem gets solved i would take down my review.

Bought my account and came in, only downside is that it delivered 1 account instead of 2 accounts so I am waiting for it. HFT passed by @FUNDEDTODAY, top EA

My response to Kortanafx's latest response on the subject "This review is a follow up on my review "A Thoroughly Unethical and Untrustworthy Company: Beware of Kortana’s Scams"

Your latest response, claiming my comment is "a shame," is not only dismissive but also offensive. It is ludicrous that a company supposedly dedicated to integrity and compliance would handle a serious matter so flippantly. Kortana's approach seems more befitting of a company run by a bunch of Teenage/20-year-olds rather than a professional trading platform.
I am a man of integrity in my late 50s, with an extensive background as a former Global Head of Fraud Risk Compliance in a renowned top 5 Global Bank. Your repeated assertions that I violated the third-party account management rule are unfounded and have still not been substantiated with any evidence, despite my numerous emails requesting such proof.
Your response continues to sidestep the core issues I raised:
1. Lack of Evidence: You have yet to provide any concrete technical logs with dates that demonstrate my account was accessed by multiple traders. Repeatedly claiming that my IP is associated with other accounts without presenting any tangible evidence is baseless and irresponsible.
2. Ignored Communications: My numerous emails offering detailed proof of my trades, including screenshots from my computer and associated notes, have gone unanswered. Your claim that you are available for further clarification via live chat is farcical, considering your consistent failure to respond to my emails.
3. Questionable Integrity of Compliance: A Compliance department that does not validate its findings with clear evidence or engage in transparent communication is a sham. Your refusal to provide the requested evidence and your dismissive public responses suggest a deliberate attempt to evade accountability.
4. Misrepresentation and Insult: Your claim that my comment is "a shame" and your continued insistence that I do not understand the rules are both inaccurate and insulting. I have meticulously followed all guidelines, and my adherence can be verified by the extensive documentation I maintain. To be told by your team that I infringed upon my account without being shown any evidence is an affront to my professional integrity.
Additionally, the positive reviews about Kortana on Trustpilot are obviously fabricated, filled with poorly made-up standard lines, often the first and only review by those individuals. It is clear to anyone with common sense that these are fake reviews, and I sincerely hope Trustpilot can filter out these concocted reviews.
Your statement that Kortana is a responsible, transparent, and fair company is contradicted by your actions in my case. I strongly advise that you re-evaluate my account with the evidence I have offered.
I reiterate that I will only remove my negative review and refrain from taking further action if Kortanafx honours my payout promptly and proves that they are prop firm who can be relied on. Until then, I remain deeply dissatisfied with your service and will continue to warn others about my experience.

KORTANAFX BIG SCAM

I am very disappointed with their support and how they treat people who want to work with them. I was refused a withdrawal from an 8K account where I had to take somewhere at 4k, they found all kinds of ideas to reject this withdrawal. They have very poorly made rules and this will involve the rejection of all traders who want to be profitable.
I promise something and when it comes to the payout I reject without reason without listening and proving that I was the only one who transacted on the account.
They took the money on my challenge account without offering me the necessary support and building a long-term relationship together.
I will switch to the guys from FTMO from here on out, to be successful in the future.
I will recommend FTMO over kortanafx.

I don't understand how I had a drawdown down of 1148 and then I did not trade again until the next day and the next day i took a trade and they said i had breached of which it should rest at 0.00 and I took a tread 6 hours after it should reset. I don't really get it. Then sending an email they i don't get responds until after one week. That my issue has been resolved and my account would be activated. Until now the account is still on breach and no response. It's crazy that you can't even communicate. Let's someone know if they need to move on or wait for it to be resolved is not that hard.

KORTANA IS A FRAUD ,GROUP OF SCAMMERS ,

Account number : 14538 .
Summary :
I have placed my withdrawal on 06-06-2024 , and on 11-06-2024 i have received mails from kortana describing my payout request got rejected due to COPY TRADE which was a hard breach and even my account got freezed , but the evidence which they provided were totally wrong , each and every trade had difference ,
Details mentioned below :
First proof with details difference of each trade .
0 (1).jpg

Trade id : 1489240 - 1489949
In this particular trade other party took trade on 03-06-2024 at 05:10:06 PM with entry point of 2340.37 and closed the trade with profit of 126.5$ at 05:18:32 PM with exit price 2337.62 , where as my trade entry point was 2340.36 at 05:11:30 PM and i closed this trade with a strict SL of -500$ with close price of 2344.36 at 05:39:55 PM.
( How can this particular trade match ? where the other party closed the trade in profit and i closed in loss with a different close price ? ) ,

Trade id : 1423096-1423283
In this particular trade other party took trade on 03-06-2024 at 11:24:43 AM with entry point of 2327.1 and closed the trade with profit of 51.15$ at 11:41:40 AM with exit price 2325.55 , where as my trade entry point was 2327.97 at 11:27:02 AM and i closed this trade with a strict SL of -500$ with close price of 2331.97 at 01:42:39 PM .

( How can this particular trade match ? where the other party closed the trade in profit and i closed in loss with different close price ? )

Trade id : 1641235-1561869
In this trade each and everything is different , our entry points does not match , our exit points does not match , most importantly our timing there is literally a 12 hours difference in our trade points , the other party placed trade at 2329.78 at 04:40:23 PM and my entry point was at 2346.36 at 04:40:40 AM

( How can this particular trade match ? where our entry points and trade timings are totally different with a difference of 12 hours ? )

Trade id : 1591435 - 1592428
In this particular trade other party took trade on 04-06-2024 at 12:10:26 PM with entry point of 2330.65 and closed the trade with profit of 11.4$ at 12:18:31 PM with exit price 2331.03 , where as my trade entry point was 2328 at 12:11:52 PM and i closed this trade with profit of 451.25$ with close price of 2331.61 at 12:24:07 PM

( How can this particular trade match , whereas our entry price are different , exit price is different , pipps are different , timings are different )
These are the difference from the proofs submitted earlier ,

But yesterday i received another proof from another team support member of kortana , you can find the attached in this mail chain , Now the point is clear that there must be some mistake with my case , or else why will there be two proofs of evidence of which both are different and most importantly second proof has trade related to XAG ( silver ) which i never traded ,
Second proof :
unnamed.png

I request you to review my case and approve my withdrawal as these allegations on me are fake , and i request for a detailed explanation for these proofs submitted by Kortana , if not i will be forced to take legal action towards kortana for submitting fake proofs and rejecting payouts on base of fake allegations of their clients ,

Hello syed owaiz, your comment is a shame, unfortunately it has violated the copy trading rule, this rule states the following.

1. If you wish to use a trading copier to send trades to your Kortana account, you must be the account holder from which the trades originate and it must not be a demo account.

2. You are not allowed to set up a copier business from an account that does not belong to you, a friend, business partner, or other relationship. We will request verification and proof of account ownership.

3. You must keep in mind that the copy tool must have a static IP.


Failure to comply with the above copy trading rules will result in account termination for non-compliance, as applicable. If no rules are broken, you will ALWAYS receive your payment from Kortana 100% of the time. We are currently paying over $3,000,000 per month to our merchants, which can be seen on our Telegram and on our Instagram. If you have any questions or need further clarification, we are available more than 10 hours a day on live chat.

My experience with Kortanafx was…

My experience with Kortanafx was absolutely horrendous. First of all, terrible customer service. At three different occasions of requesting payouts , they said I had breached some nonsense rules which I did not.

Three times I requested payouts and each time they had an excuse. I was up more than 7-10% each times , absolutely flippin shocking.

I’m not the first this has happened to, I’ve heard multiple people say the same thing, it’s actually distrusting how people build their accounts and you just take their funds, you’re literally robbing people of their hard work. Should be ashamed on how you run your business.

For anyone looking for a prop firms , don’t come looking at Kortana. I put hard work into this and all they do is take your money and your payouts.

Great care

This prop firm manipulates the broker's prices, opens operations where the spread is not present at that moment.

On the other hand, you must have a fixed IP, however dynamic they will end up telling you that you have operated from several accounts. Always remember that HFT companies have a lot of fine print and will do everything possible to prevent you from withdrawing.

Hello Miguel Garnica Garcia, we deeply regret your comment, however, it is important to clarify that what you state is not true, we are not an arbitrary company, first of all, we do not seek to scam, manipulate, or deceive our traders, our purpose is to be a profitable company that allows you to generate income for profitable and professional traders like we know you are, we are characterized by being a transparent and fair company, keep in mind that if we reject a payment it is for a true violation of the company's policies, we make payments every day to traders who have fully complied with the good management of their account, good risk management, and at the same time, have totally and strictly respected all the rules established to avoid executing prohibited practices or improper actions, if their payment was rejected it is Because you have surely broken the rules! that is your responsibility, try to understand that we are one of the only companies in the world that accepts HFT for approval, which means you buy a challenge and receive your live account almost instantly within hours. This creates extremely high risk for our company, as we do not have time to evaluate the behavior of each merchant before the funding stage, as a result, we must enforce much stricter rules than the average prop company!

Scammers, Avoid

Like many others on TrustPilot, my account was breached for ‘Account management’ I have only ever used one device to trade from and all trades were my own. After requesting proof for my ‘account management’ I received no follow up email for over a week now. This is a complete scam so avoid at all costs and go with other prop firms.

Hello Fred Boxer, we are sorry for your comment, but we have reviewed your case again and unfortunately if you have violated the third-party account management rule, this rule is extremely easy to comply with by strictly following the following instructions.

1. Use your own device (cell phone, tablet or laptop)

2. Do not give your passwords to anyone, friend or sponsor.

3. Enter ONLY your account or accounts that are in your name, if our Software registers that there were or are more Kortana accounts in your name, other people will take it as Account Management.

4. Remember that the IP address cannot have records on other devices. Your account must be operated solely by YOU, registered only on the device to be used and must not have any registration on other devices.

That is why we will ALWAYS recommend that you manage your accounts PERSONALLY so that you do not have problems with your payments. Also, remember to manage a fixed IP in your account.

It was determined that the IP is associated with other accounts, for this reason it is classified as third-party account management and, as mentioned above, it is a prohibited practice in our company. We always recommend reading the rules before operating to avoid future inconveniences. https://intercom.help/kortana/en.
