The5ers is a scam. Don't trade with them

It's simply as it is. The5ers is a scam. They will do everything in their power to completely ruin your experience with trading and not get a payout. And if you get to a payout, guess what? They will terminate your account claiming "one-sided betting". I didn't only buy or sell and my history will proof this but they are blatantly lying and saying that I did that. I did 20% on a 10k account if it were a legitimate company that played by their own rules I was going to move to a higher amount and eventually If was in profit by the end of the 14 days I would receive a payout. They just hit me with a email saying that they are terminating my account. Don't go with them. Don't trade with The5ers. They are a scam company

Reactivating my account for a prop firm payout after 2 years

Hey everyone, I have a Binance account I haven't touched in about 2 years. I need to use it now to receive a payout from a prop trading firm (~4 figures USD).

A few questions for anyone who's dealt with this:

- Does reactivating a dormant account trigger extra scrutiny or holds, even for a normal-sized deposit?

- Will I need to redo KYC/identity verification before I can withdraw, since it's been inactive so long?

- Does receiving funds from a prop firm payout (as opposed to a P2P transfer or another exchange) raise any flags I should know about?

- Any tips to avoid delays — like logging in and verifying identity a day or two before the deposit actually lands?

Just want to avoid my funds getting stuck in review. Appreciate any first-hand experience.

What’s something you’d recommend for a guy living on his own for the first time?

I (32M) am moving into my own place next month. I have all the essentials and even some luxuries (tv, couches, bedroom set). I’m wondering what are some not so common things you’d recommend for a single guy living by himself? Maybe some hidden gems or any tips in general? Thanks in advance

FundingPips terminated my account over a “Device ID” match — could my MT5 iPhone or VPS setup explain it?

My FundingPips account was permanently terminated after they told me that the Device ID associated with my account matched the Device ID of another registered user.

I appealed and explained my setup, but FundingPips said the Responsible Trading Team had completed its review and that the decision was final. They won’t disclose the Device ID, fingerprinting method, IPs, timestamps, or other technical information.

My setup was:

  • I had multiple FundingPips accounts, all belonging to me.
  • Each account was operated through a separate cloud VPS (HapiHost).
  • I used different PineConnector licenses for the accounts.
  • The VPS environments/IPs were separate, as far as I know.
  • I also used the same personal iPhone with the MT5 iOS app to access my accounts.
  • I did not knowingly share my FundingPips credentials with another person.

FundingPips has described the Device ID publicly as a device/hardware fingerprint, but I don’t know exactly what identifier they use.

I’m trying to understand the technical possibilities rather than accuse anyone.

Questions for people familiar with MT5/FundingPips:

  1. Can MT5 iOS expose a persistent device identifier to a broker/server that could be used for device fingerprinting?
  2. Could using the same iPhone MT5 app to access multiple accounts create a Device ID association?
  3. Could separate VPSs from the same provider still produce a common hardware/device fingerprint?
  4. Could PineConnector’s infrastructure contribute to a device fingerprint or account association?
  5. Has anyone else received a similar FundingPips “Shared CID/Device ID” termination?
  6. If you’ve experienced this, what setup were you using (iPhone, VPS, MT5 desktop, EA, PineConnector, etc.)?

I’m not asking anyone to identify the other account holder, and I’m not posting any account numbers or private information.

I’m mainly trying to understand whether there is a legitimate technical explanation for the Device ID match.

Any experience or technical insight would be appreciated.

Figured I'd start a new proper discussion thread on Tradeify here, since this sub is about the closest thing we've got to an "unbiased Trustpilot" for prop firms.

Idea is simple: if you've traded with Tradeify, leave your honest opinion below. Over time this thread can be the place people land on when they Google a Tradeify review instead of getting hit with the same recycled YouTube promos.

A few things worth covering if you've got time:

  • Instant Funding, still worth it in 2026?
  • Growth plan. fair pricing for what you get?
  • Lightning plan, quick payouts in practice, or harder than it looks?
  • General Tradeify rules, payout policy, consistency, drawdown… any surprises?

Which plan is your favorite?

No filter needed, passes, fails, payout proof, and complaint. All of it adds up to useful information for fellow prop firm traders. Hopefully this becomes a go-to reference thread for Tradeify reviews.

If you could only make money with ONE prop firm for the rest of your life… which one are you choosing? 👀

No switching. No backup firms. One firm only 😂
Who you riding with and why?

Be my matchmaker

I've been struggling to find a prop firm that passes my criteria for how I trade.

It needs to have $3k EOD or static buffer. Allows overnight holding. No less than $2k DLL. Preferably less than 5 required trading days for payouts. Preferably no or high payout caps.

Please help me out🙏🏾

IMPORTANT INFO regarding Funded Futures Network

Just putting this out there to keep prop firm traders aware.

Currently Funded Futures Network (FFN) takes 15 business days AFTER requesting a payout to be approved and sent out.

This timeline has trustpilot reviews dating back to March when they got scammed and has been the same to present day.

That means 5 Winning Days + 15 Business days of waiting before funds are removed and payout is sent.

That also means before being considered for Live Funded (Daily payouts) the minimum you need is 100 Business days (5 winning days + 15 business days waiting)x5 to be considered for live.

Support is probably the fastest in the industry but it kind of sucks a reputable firm has come to this and no estimated timeline of when this will change.

Just putting this out there so other traders don’t get blindsided by this if payout speed and the grind for live funded is important to you.

your payout schedule is a risk parameter and almost nobody treats it like one

something i modelled last month after my third payout and wish id done before my first.

the day after a payout is statistically the closest your account ever gets to dying. you pull profit, the buffer above the drawdown floor shrinks by exactly that amount, and then you keep trading the same size into the thinnest cushion the account has had since day one. nothing about the strategy changed. the risk did.

so theres this tradeoff nobody prices. withdraw often and small, and your account spends its entire life a few losing trades from the floor. every reset puts you back where you started, one normal drawdown streak from a breach. withdraw rarely and let the buffer compound, and the account gets genuinely hard to kill, except now months of profit sit on the firms side of the table. if they slow pay, change rules, or disappear, that buffer was never yours. it was a loan you made them at zero interest.

both schedules earn the same on paper. they just die differently.

what i actually did about it. pulled my trade log, took my worst historical losing streak, and asked one question, what buffer survives that streak at my size. that number became the rule, withdraw everything above it, never below it. its not a feeling anymore, its a threshold sitting in the same config file as my stop parameters, because thats what it is. a sizing decision wearing a payout costume.

side effect i didnt expect, payout day stopped being emotional. no more staring at the balance deciding if im greedy or careful this month. the number is either above the line or it isnt.

curious how people here actually handle this. fixed schedule, fixed threshold, or vibes? and has anyone deliberately oversized their buffer with a firm they didnt fully trust, or is that backwards and you should be pulling faster there?

Banned country

Hey, i live in a country that is sadly banned by most prop firms due to the law of said country, and I wanted to know if there is any way around that to be able to purchase challenges nevertheless and get the paypouts. I appreciate any info that could help, thank you everyone

Live account closed without any proof

Has anyone of you also experienced this: TPT closed one of my live accounts without initially telling me which account number it was and what the exact breach of the rules was. Upon investigation after several email requests they finally gave me the account number, but still didn't give me proof of the supposed breach of the daily drawdown rule (at least I assume that’s it). When Iooked at the account data the dd rule was not breached at all, the more because I have put a daily drawdown limit on all my live accounts.

I think the way they treat their customers is very disrespectful and they only very reluctantly clear things up once asked to do so.

Shortly I will be looking to trade with another propfirm that values it’s customers a little more.

I thought i would be profitable by now

I've been trading for the past 2 years almost, (i started october 2024) and it's been hell, i do not know how many of you are able to make it so fast in this space

I've hard 7k in payouts in the last two years and i pretty much blew it all away as time went on, i'm on the verge of passing a second account but this month has been feeling like hell.

Got one account passed last week and got a loss the next day.

Truly when i look at my P&L i'm always finding myself positive at the end of the month, but i'm never on the same set of accounts, i winstreak in the challenge stage, and then straight up lose streaks in the funded stage, how do y'all manage it ?

Would it be best looking at making my own self funded account to avoid the propfirm rules ?

On the second pic there are my latest spendings (End of July 2026)

TPT Soft Block on today

I received an email today from TPT that I'm blocked from buying any more exam accounts. I withdrew $110,000 from TPT this year. I think there's no chance of getting the block lifted. Graduating from TPT with only $110,000 is really a bit early.
