I purchased the FTUK Pay After You Pass…
I purchased the FTUK Pay After You Pass Flex Challenge, successfully passed the evaluation, and received my funded account. I traded the account manually and generated $3,686 in profit while meeting the account objectives. When I requested my first payout, my request was placed under review. FTUK contacted me, stating that they had identified trades under 30 seconds and patterns they considered HFT, martingale, and anti-scaling. They asked me to provide clarification rather than rejecting the payout outright. I responded promptly, explaining that all of my trades were placed manually and that I did not use any EA, automated trading system, or copy trading software. I also answered all of their questions in good faith. It has now been over two weeks since I submitted my explanation, but I have not received any update. My payout status still shows "Pending", and I have not been informed whether my payout has been approved or declined. I understand that prop firms need to perform risk reviews, and I respect that process. However, I believe traders also deserve timely communication and a reasonable timeframe for a final decision, especially when a significant payout is being held. I hope FTUK will review my case promptly, provide a clear decision, and improve communication with traders during the payout review process. If my case is resolved fairly and professionally, I will gladly update this review.
