🚨*FIRST EVER PAYOUT DENIAL*🚨 This was always the post I didn't want to ever have to write. Today, I was denied my first ever payout with @CFTradercom. This was my second payout and the email they sent me is attached below. All I'm going to say is this... SCAM FIRM. AVOID.

I was permanently banned from TopStep. Over $17,000 across my accounts was denied payout. Here’s exactly what happened 👇

No Payout still in 2026 Overall 4 Payouts Rejected on all Firms 🫡 Risk Violation and Account Breached

That was what ruined my life, they denied my payout and ceased functions, ever since then, I found myself in a broke condition and academic pressures on me, I couldn't get another account and the skills left me and I'm still suffering from that problem of payout denial 😭

$36,000 request denied oooof that hurt. apex said "unfortunately, after review, we are not able to approve the request at this time.  Your payout was denied for the following reason: "Improper Risk Management" I know i broke some rules for sure i was like 2k deep in drawdown that one day but any advice on how to get approved again? i saw people just doing $50 a day for 8 days but does that really work?

8k payout denied due to “vpn usage during kyc” which isnt true. And its a sly one because cant prove it. @finotiveceo @FinotiveFunding. Give the guy a fair shake.
