Banned for HFT on a -$2 trade
I have multiple funded accounts with FFN and the experience was fine until recently. But I'm now in a situation I can't leave without a public review. My payout was denied and my account closed for an alleged HFT (high-frequency trading) violation. The trade in question: 1 single trade, 2 seconds, -$2, on a day where I placed 19 trades building positions progressively. My Rithmic data is crystal clear and shows absolutely nothing resembling HFT at any point. As a reminder, high-frequency trading refers to algorithmic systems placing thousands of orders per second with microsecond latency. That's infrastructure-level trading, not a retail trader on Bookmap. The admin of our trading community, who has been following this case, fully agrees with this analysis. What makes this worse: FFN retroactively reversed a trading day that had already been validated and paid over a month ago No prior warning, no chance to correct anything Support has gone completely silent — my emails have received no response, which is why I'm writing here, hoping this reaches an actual human being and opens the door to a real conversation I was banned from the FFN Discord after raising my situation publicly I want to be clear: I genuinely love this prop firm. My goal is not to trash FFN — I want to keep trading with them. But this issue needs to be resolved, and right now, a public review is the only channel that seems to get a response. I remain open to resolving this dispute and genuinely hope FFN will take the time to review the Rithmic data objectively, which clearly proves my good faith. But as it stands, I cannot recommend this prop firm to anyone consistently pulling payouts. aydi9
