Yet another new name! But they can’t run away from their past!

Yet another new name!

I reviewed this company after routinely being denied a payout despite doing absolutely nothing wrong.

They not only keep changing their name and despite telling me they would provide a full exhaustive list of what they deem to be violations they can NEVER produce it as they make it up as they go along.

I’m not going to go into the full details as anyone can see how despicable these con artists are by looking at my review (R P) but after sending three emails after my initial review requesting
1) their list of violations
2) that they pay me out what they owe me.

I received a response claiming that I had no accounts with them!

I responded by sending them the account numbers and was astounded to be told that they were no longer “live” accounts so to add insult to injury these clowns arbitrarily close down accounts for no reason as and when it suits.

Trading plus AI are the feeders for this scam and I see on telegraph that they are now offering that people not pay them a penny until they receive a payout😂.

I have lost complete patience with this bunch of con men who from looking at companies house and the past businesses of all concerned are not only crooks as the reviews here extolling their virtues are far too plentiful considering how long this iteration has been going for, they also make no sense as I sincerely doubt that ANYONE has ever received a payout from them as their grift is to take your money, make up violations to get you to part with more money to rinse and repeat.

All of the players (Skillful Traders, Trading Plus AI & Bilz) are guilty under Section 2 of the Fraud Act 2006 (fraud by misrepresentation) and I am fully prepared to join forces with Brad to make a complaint to these scammer’s local constabulary as enough is enough as it’s about time that they did prison time for defrauding the public…..

Denied because im an indian traveling

Getting into my nerves. They were shady from the begining. Got into this prop becase of a trader named Qasim Zaman, who promotes his ZMN elite Ea. They had Hft pass which i think already passed skillfull accounts at a cheaper price. So got the account from him saying this is trust worthy. Was also reading all the reviews and still went to buy it and trade for 21 days. After that requested my 538 dollar profit, and i should get 50% of that. Got denied because they are saying im using multiple ip address. Not even asking for proofs. Im really pissed with these people!. Ive been trading my account my own and was travelling . And i have all the proof. I live and work in germany, and was in india for my vacation. Im an indian citizen, now the reply that i got from them is india is a common place for account management, thats why its rejected. Well i have no words for you , go and die!!! Please avoid this crap firm at all cost.

Don’t believe the positive reviews

Don’t believe the positive reviews
On this company, prolly from their own people to save their own ass. They are not trustworthy and you will not receive your payouts after your 21 days of trading. They’ll come up with an excuse to not send you your funds. Sent them numerous emails asking why I didn’t receive my payout and an explanation as well, no response. They are quick to change their name on trust pilot and defend negative reviews but can’t respond to emails explaining their shady practices. DO NOT TRUST THEM! Hope they fail and get shut down

BAD Experience.Requested my first payout after 21 days on 400k account and got denied

They denied after 2 days and gave me reason that my account is flagged several times with other IP adress but that cannot be possible becuase i procured dedicated vps for this account.

All of time and money to pass challenge is wasted. I sent them emails for resolution, happy to change my review if they pay me .

Don't be fooled by these fake reviews

Don't be fooled by these fake reviews. They have recently changed their Trust Pilot, the old one cannot be found (no surprise there). After completing the 21 required trading days my payout was rejected saying I didn't complete the 21 days! I have proof I did and the payout button became available not until 21 days was up. When I argued that they came back that there was 8 IP addresses associated with my account (which is not true). This is a scam, they won't payout, they will find any reason not to pay out. They are associated with Trading Plus AI (even though they will claim they are not, they are because Trading Plus purchased my challenges through them, I did not). Do not waste your money with this scam!

Their Website Counts the Time...Not Me!

Their website won't even let me request a withdrawal until the 21 trading days have been counted by it....at which point I requested a withdrawal. They never paid me because they said "the 21 trading days had not been met yet"....which is absolute B.S. since their website wouldn't even let me REQUEST a withdrawal until the time had been counted by it in the first place. (Again, their website counted the time....not me! And yet this scam company still won't pay what they owe me!) If they read this and correct their fraudulent mistake then I will gladly retract this statement.

Total scam

Total scam, no support. I requested a payout & was denied. Can’t get an explanation why. Been waiting on an email back forever now. STAY AWAY, any other prop firm is better than this.

They will take your evaluation money & not pay you if you get a payout. Also be very weary of other reviews, they seem like AI.

PURE UNDILUTED SCAMMERS.

Pure undiluted scammers. They work with TradingPlus to steal people. They will pass the account yet you will not see any trading activity on your account. They just switch to a different demo account and seem funded. Don’t waste 21days to trade, you will be refused a payout. Their website is fake, no trading record. They use canvas to create fake payout. The positive reviews you see at Trustpilot are from their people. They have about 100 scammers and software to generate or create reviews. You will not get paid. They are scammers period.

Scam

Scam. They will not pay you out. They told me to wait 21days everytime i requested payouts. Once i hit the 21 days, they told me to wait ANOTHER 21days. Actually it’s a way to not pay out. Be aware.

Do not use this website

Do not use this website, let me explain why

The reviews are fake, the website has only been registered since july so no way its this popular.

Also, the prop firm is owned by a notorious scammer who goes by the name of bilzea. They will not pay out, trust me.

Everything "bilzea" touches is a complete scam and all you are doing is helping him make more money.

SkillfulTraders and TradingPlus are…

Scam? They keep changing their names. SkillfulTraders and TradingPlus appear to be running scam together. A one star review on here says the reviews on here are fake as the Skillful traders are only 2 months old. Trading plus confirmed that they are new and been around for about 2 months. Does not make sense that they have so many reviews let alone most are five star. Looks like many fake reviews. I am into this $6000 for a Skillful Traders 800k prop account $2500 and $3500 for the Tradingplus EA.
The EA stopped working 2 weeks ago and the Trading plus team has failed to get the system running after telling me in the Telegram chat that they have upgraded me to the newest best version. Still nothing. The bot made money on one day only in that time. And Skillful traders have not sent me their banking info so I can link payouts to my PayPal and Coinbase account. They said it was not important at this time. I am just a few days away from a payout and I still have not received the info I need to receive a payout. A Red flag for sure.

Scam firm and the TradingPlusAI team is…

Scam firm and the TradingPlusAI team is just as guilty because they are partnered with this firm. I followed all rules and waited the 21 calendar days to request a payout and they denied my payout for no reason they claimed that I traded less than 21 trading days which makes no sense because as stated on their website they have 5 minimum trading days and then you have to wait 21 calendar days to request your payout and that's exactly what I did. I would've never used this sketchy firm if it wasn't for the TradingPlusAI Team so I really blame them for working with this scam firm. I have emailed skillful traders and got no response right when they denied me funny enough.

We appreciate your feedback and want to address your concerns clearly.

First, we want to reiterate that Skillful Traders is not partnered or affiliated with TradingPlusAI or any other third-party entities. Any association made between us and TradingPlusAI is completely false, and we operate independently with no connection to their operations.

Regarding your payout issue, we uphold a strict policy that traders who follow our rules and pass the necessary challenges will always be paid. Based on your statement, it appears there may be some confusion regarding the requirements. Our policy outlines that traders must complete a minimum of 5 trading days and wait 21 calendar days before requesting a payout, but it is also important that those 21 days include active trading in compliance with the rules. If you feel there has been a misunderstanding, we encourage you to provide detailed information, and we will review your case thoroughly to ensure everything was handled fairly and transparently.

We apologize if there was a delay in response to your emails. Our support team works hard to address all inquiries in a timely manner, but there may occasionally be delays. Rest assured, your case will be reviewed, and we will provide a prompt and clear response to your concerns.

Once again, we do not deny payouts to traders who follow the rules and successfully pass their challenges. We are committed to ensuring that all traders are treated fairly and that any issues are resolved efficiently. Please reach out to our support team with any specific details so we can investigate further.

Thank you for your feedback. At SkillfulTraders, we prioritize customer satisfaction and transparency. We ensure that all qualified traders receive their payouts as per our policies. The individual who left this review has never used our services, so their comments may not reflect an accurate experience.

Regarding our payout structure, it's important to clarify that prop firms operate in a simulated trading environment. This allows us to offer a 100% profit split to our traders, a model that many reputable firms in the industry are now adopting. We are committed to providing fair opportunities for all of our users.

I can't withdraw my profits.

I can't withdraw my profits, and they aren't responding to my questions from email support either. Seems like a fake company that just takes away your challenge fees and never intends to pay you. Do not recommend signing up with this company.

Stop scamming people

I want an explanation from this company.
Hey guys I don’t like scammers okay. How the hell I loss my account that I haven’t even lost 1% in a day. I need my account reinstated asap. Damn. I lost $315 today and I had position running in profit and you disabled my account. I had equity of $101,016 I lost $1,016 on Friday and today Monday I lost $315 and I opened another trade and it was in profit and my account got disabled. $1,300 is not even up to 2% of over all drawdown. I have a daily drawdown limit of 5% and over all drawdown limit of 8% and I haven’t reached a quarter of it yet you disabled my account. If I don’t get my account reinstated today, I will give all the trading details to my bank and get a refund from you. Stop scamming people.

My friend, your explanation doesn’t make a single sense. I opened 0.5 trades 4 times with a stop loss of $63,$100, $93 and another $100 and you are telling me my account went to 4% which is $4000? You are very funny. I never opened a trade and left without monitoring. None of my positions went below $200 it would have triggered my stop loss. Why don’t you reply to the email I sent with pictures? Stop deceiving readers. I have other prop firms that I open the same position and they are still active. My friend stop telling lies. My account was @ equity of $99,414 how the hell did it go down 4%. Even if it went down 4% it hasn’t reached 5% daily drawdown and 8% maximum drawdown which I never went to even 0.5% daily drawdown. What the heck are you talking about?

Thank you for reaching out with your concerns. We take such matters very seriously and appreciate the opportunity to clarify the situation.

After a thorough review of your account, it appears that your equity fell below the 4% drawdown limit at some point, which is why your account was disabled. We understand that this might not have been immediately apparent, as we do not automatically close positions once the 4% drawdown is reached. Consequently, your account may have shown a temporary improvement, but the underlying drawdown situation was still present.

At SkillfulTraders, we pride ourselves on our integrity and adherence to the rules we establish. We do not engage in any unfair practices or foul play. Our policies are designed to protect both our clients and the integrity of our trading environment.

We understand that this situation is frustrating, but we assure you that our procedures are applied consistently and transparently. If you have further questions or need additional clarification, please contact our support team directly at support@skillfultraders.com . We are here to assist and address any further concerns you might have.
