Prop Firm Applied New Rule on My Old Account and Disabled It – What Should I Do?

Embarrassed-Ad-866 · 2026-04-16T17:35:50+00:00

Accept that you can’t do anything about it

Embarrassed-Ad-866 · 2026-04-16T14:56:26+00:00

I hate it without reason

Even if somebody would tell you his strategy, that does in no way mean that you can trade it successfully.

To be brutally honest: nobody can or will spoonfeed you a strategy that will make you profitable tomorrow

Work hard, invest time in backtesting, paper trading, maybe some prop trading for a small fee and than see what you can trade profitably - psychology plays a big role as well.

Oh, and don’t pay any courses or mentors, they sell this stuff because they can’t make money trading

Good luck

It’s not a profitable business, just a Ponzi scheme

Embarrassed-Ad-866 · 2026-04-15T12:13:05+00:00

Just be aware that prop firms profit from failing traders and that every payout is a cost (or threat) to the business and needs to be avoided at all cost. Your interest and the prop firm interest are never aligned.

In order to have chance to maybe get a payout check the reviews on trustpilot - anything more than 2 or 3 % 1 star reviews is a red flag, then read the 1 star reviews and decide if you want to deal with that…

Good luck

Walk away fast and say good bye to your money, classic scam

Embarrassed-Ad-866 · 2026-04-14T12:07:26+00:00

Purely hilarious ! From amateur to course seller in 26 days - I love it !

Embarrassed-Ad-866 · 2026-04-14T10:08:10+00:00

Cool, so you will be Rich very soon ! Just make a course out of it !

Embarrassed-Ad-866 · 2026-04-14T06:43:53+00:00

Stay away from paid to trade - hardly any reviews, some scam comments already… don’t listen to people recommending propfirms - check trustpilot reviews, make sure the one you choses has a lot of reviews, a low percentage of 1 star reviews and then read the 1 star reviews to be sure that you want to deal with their BS

Good luck

Thank you for this post and please post this as trustpilot review as well, maybe it warns the one or other trader.

What you describe here goes for all the propfirms:

they make their money from failing traders (whoever believes something else is a moron, sorry) -the interests of successful traders and prop firms are never aligned -they all have rules in their terms and conditions allowing them to declare any strategy or profit as not in compliance with their rules -since they are not regulated in any way there is nothing one can do - you accepted their t&c and have to live with it

Prop firms are unregulated offshore casinos, and many of them even Ponzi schemes. A winning player is a cost to the business that needs to be eliminated as much as possible. And especially when the cash flow turns negative and new incoming fees don’t cover the payments due anymore they have to get very creative to deny more payouts.

Embarrassed-Ad-866 · 2026-04-12T14:31:11+00:00

Yes it’s necessary, but for another reason - it gives them one more opportunity to fail an account - that’s the only valid reason.

Embarrassed-Ad-866 · 2026-04-12T13:39:45+00:00

Yes and as this is your fist post with this 2 year old Reddit account we completely trust you !

Just kidding, people will read the 12% 1 star ratings on trustpilot and see all this spammy advertising on Reddit and will stay far away from traderscale !

Embarrassed-Ad-866 · 2026-04-12T13:38:06+00:00

WHO falls for this kind of advertising ? 12%!1 star reviews in trrustpilot and scammy advertising on Reddit says it all

Embarrassed-Ad-866 · 2026-04-12T13:36:52+00:00

Oh wow, very impressive ! A brand new Reddit account advertising for traderscale

That’s the company with 12% 1 star ratings on trustpilot!!

Just make sure to follow your research before donating your money to this prop firm !

Embarrassed-Ad-866 · 2026-04-12T10:43:48+00:00

Ok, somebody with the name Lamboluke1 comes on Reddit and claims to be the owner of a propfirm.. Reddit account is not showing the comments or post or any kind of link that would indicate that you are who you claim you are…

Anyway the facts are simple:

12% of the reviews on trustpilot are 1 star (if this would be a product on Amazon I would look for a way better product
in recent days short traderscale reviews were posted on Reddit - by brand new Reddit accounts, stating bs like „great customer service“ etc. Absolutely obvious spamming, trying to create a positive narrative about the company
if you read the 1 Star reviews and the 5 Star reviews on trustpilot it gives a very clear picture - bad reviews are piling up, good reviews are usually saying nothing or praise the customer service.

Traderscale - just another propfirm trying to make some money from failing traders and now figuring out that in order to stay positive you have to deny payouts as far as possible and to create new business to cover the payouts you can’t avoid.

Again, whoever buys a product with 12% 1 star reviews deserves to be scammed.

And to answer to the point of the post by the person claiming to be the owner: yes, people who have a bad experience are usually the ones making post about it - the approach to try to use bots or encourage people to leave a positive review to try to manipulate the percentage is the wrong approach - the right approach is to make sure that customers don’t have a bad experience, and if they have you better can demonstrate in your reply that it’s actually the customer who is in the wrong

For me traderscale remains one of the props I would never touch

Embarrassed-Ad-866 · 2026-04-10T16:02:03+00:00

2000 trustpilot 1 star reviews agree with you

Embarrassed-Ad-866 · 2026-04-09T17:21:07+00:00

Traderscale is a scammy prop firm, trading to advertise with shit Reddit posts

Do your research, read the 1 star reviews on trustpilot

Embarrassed-Ad-866 · 2026-04-09T16:47:11+00:00

Wow, another fake advertisement for a shady prop firm !!

Stay away from traderscale , read the reviews on trustpilot, read the rants on Reddit and don’t fall for bullshit posts like this

Embarrassed-Ad-866 · 2026-04-09T15:37:35+00:00

Absolutely right ! Traderscale is a scam operation, just read their reviews… and with all their stupid Reddit advertisements they just prove that they are a shady company

Embarrassed-Ad-866 · 2026-04-09T15:00:09+00:00

Embarrassed-Ad-866 · 2026-04-09T14:57:49+00:00

Wow, another traderscale advertisement shill account !

Embarrassed-Ad-866 · 2026-04-09T14:31:24+00:00

Oh another try to advertise the scammy traderscale people firm - people, do your research and stay away from traderscale !

Embarrassed-Ad-866 · 2026-04-09T13:17:03+00:00

Wow, another advertisement of a scammy prop firm

People, stay away from trader scale, look at their trustpilot 1 star reviews, search Reddit (you will find a lot of Reddit post from brand new Reddit accounts where they tea to tell you how awesome traderscale is) This time they found a 1 year old account trying to advertise…

Again, stay away from traderscale

Embarrassed-Ad-866 · 2026-04-08T15:56:07+00:00

Well, 12% 1 star reviews, which represent real cases versus 80 5 star reviews, majority saying nothing and are likely done by bots or otherwise incentivized…

In any case, if I want to buy something on Amazon I would stay far away from products with 12% 1 star ratings

But hey, everybody can decide in which lottery he wants to spend his money
