Sometimes it’s good to slow down and take a moment how far you’ve come.
I’ve been trading for 4 years with no results but losses.
Until one payout, one month, changed everything for me.

Scam alert ⚠️ @Tradeify scam exposed⬇️
Tradeify closed the trader accounts and declined 4 of 5 payouts the same day while one request on the exact same copy-traded setup was approved and paid.
All five accounts ran the same strategy from the start.
KYC was completed as requested. There was no prior verification problem.
Then came a permanent ban, forfeiture of remaining payout eligibility, and a compliance email that cites terms of service and circumvention without naming a rule, a date, a trade, or a log.
This is not a transparent review. This is an unexplained seizure of withdrawals behind a template that refuses to show the evidence.
One payout clearing and four dying on identical activity is inconsistent.
A lifetime ban with no charge sheet is not safety.
It is opacity dressed up as compliance.
@BrettSimba
What restriction was supposedly circumvented when every account traded the same way from day one?
Why was one payout released and the other four rejected on the same book?
If KYC was accepted, what new fact justified a permanent ban instead of a written warning?
Publish the rule.
Publish the evidence.
Or reverse the four denials. Silence after a ban is not professionalism.
It is evasion.

@Tradeify has permanently banned me after nearly 2 years as a customer and over $50,000 in previous payouts
Most recently, I requested payouts across 5 accounts that had been copy traded together from the start. 1 payout was approved and paid, while the other 4 were declined. I was then permanently banned and completely stripped of access to my Tradeify dashboard.
The explanation I received was simply that an “alert” had prompted a review and that Tradeify determined I had taken actions to “circumvent restrictions.”
No specific action, trade, account, or rule violation was actually identified, and I was told that the evidence behind the decision could not be disclosed and that the decision was final.
I understand that a firm cannot disclose its fraud prevention or detection methods. However, I feel that as traders, especially when our payouts and access to accounts are being permanently forfeited, we deserve some level of clarity about what we are actually alleged to have done wrong.
I’m simply asking to understand what I allegedly did wrong and for my case to receive a fair manual review.
The fact that 1 of my 5 payouts was approved while the other 4 were rejected despite the accounts being traded together also leaves me genuinely confused.
@BrettSimba , I’d really appreciate you taking another look at this.

@Tradeify@BrettSimba
My Tradeify account was closed today and 4/5 of my payouts were declined, while 1 was still approved and paid, despite all 5 accounts being copy traded together from the start.
@Tradeify@BrettSimba I completed the KYC that was requested and have never had any previous issues with verification. I’m now permanently banned from Tradeify without being given a clear explanation of what I actually did wrong.
🧵I never thought I'd have to write a post like this.
For the last few months, I gave everything I had to trading. I followed the rules, managed my risk, stayed disciplined, and trusted the process. Every profitable day came from hard work, patience, and consistency. Nothing was given to me. I worked for every dollar.
Then everything changed.
My $30,000 payout was rejected.💔
After that, my accounts disappeared from the dashboard. I lost access to my trading history and performance records. It felt like months of hard work had disappeared overnight.
The money hurts, but that's not the only reason I'm writing this. What hurts even more is seeing all the time, discipline, and effort I put into this end the way it did.
As traders, we understand risk. We know we'll have losing days, drawdowns, and setbacks. That's part of the journey. But when you've done your part, followed the rules, and earned your results, you expect to be treated fairly.
If a company can no longer continue its business, then the right thing to do is simple: honor your commitments, pay traders what they have legitimately earned, and close the company with integrity. That's how you leave with respect.
I'm fortunate that I have a backup plan and a strong mindset. This experience won't stop me. I'll continue trading, keep learning, and build everything back.
But not every trader is in the same position. Some people depend on these payouts to support their families, pay their bills, or simply move forward in life. That's why this isn't just about me.
I'm sharing my experience because I believe traders deserve transparency before deciding where to place their trust.
Based on what I personally experienced, I can't recommend @Alpha_Futures_ 🚨🚨🚨🚨
To every trader reading this, stay strong. Don't let one setback define your future. Your knowledge, your discipline, and your experience are things no one can take away from you.
And to every prop firm, remember this: without traders, there is no business. Respect the people who trusted you, and honor the commitments you made.
Don't WASTE another year sitting on your a**.
Take the leap of faith and start learning how to trade.
I have personally extracted $170k in propfirm payouts in 2025 and $302,584 total in payouts.
