Closed, flagged and watched prop firms

Prop firms fail more often than the sector likes to admit, and a closure is rarely announced in advance. This page tracks the firms in our database that have shut down, that carry documented abusive practices, or whose recent signals warrant caution. Their profiles stay online: a trader who paid for a challenge at a firm that disappeared deserves a factual account of what happened, not a deleted page.

Frequently asked questions

What happens to my account if a prop firm shuts down?
A funded account is a contractual relationship with a company, not a brokerage account holding your money. If the company ceases operations, the account disappears with it. Pending payouts become an unsecured claim on a company that is, by definition, in difficulty — which is why payout history and firm age weigh so heavily in our score.
Can I get a refund for a challenge I paid for?
In practice, rarely. The evaluation fee is payment for a service that was rendered — access to the evaluation — so refund claims are legally weak even when the firm disappears mid-challenge. A card chargeback within the issuer’s window is sometimes the only realistic route.
What are the warning signs before a firm collapses?
Payout delays that stretch from days to weeks; rule changes applied retroactively to existing accounts; sudden restrictions on withdrawal methods; support response times collapsing; aggressive discounting well below the market. Any two of these together justify not buying a new challenge there.
Why keep the profiles of closed firms online?
Because traders keep looking for them — to understand what happened, to check whether they can still be paid, or to avoid the same pattern elsewhere. Deleting the page would remove the answer without removing the question.
