I need to share something that's genuinely broken my heart.
I chose @FinotiveFunding because of what they say they stand for; transparency, fairness, backing serious traders. I believed in it. I worked hard for years to trade at this level. I stayed disciplined, followed every rule, and kept a completely clean record: zero strikes, zero breaches, zero negative balances on any account. I passed their $200K evaluation with strict risk management. I hold the Certificate of Achievement signed by their CEO to prove it.
I held 4 accounts with them: three funded $200K accounts, and a brand- new 200K Pro Challenge I'd just purchased and had NEVER traded; not a single position. Over $3,300 paid in account fees across the four.
Then life happened. Here is the complete, timestamped timeline of how everything went:
📅 Mon 29 Jun, 09:12 — Finotive emails requesting Enhanced KYC, giving 72 hours to complete it.
✅ Mon 29 Jun, 12:13 — I complete my Enhanced KYC in FULL. Within 3 hours. Not 72.
📅 Mon 29 Jun, 13:02 — Finotive emails requesting an urgent compliance call.
✅ Minutes later — I book it instantly, at the FIRST available slot: Tuesday 30 Jun, 9:00am.
❌ Tue 30 Jun, 9:00am — A sudden family emergency, completely unforeseeable and outside my control, means I cannot attend. Not a rule breach. Not a bad trade. A missed call, during a genuine emergency.
✅ Tue 30 Jun, 10:34am — Just 90 minutes later, the SAME morning, I email them: explaining, apologising, asking to reschedule. I never went silent. I never refused. I asked to complete it.
Their response? Everything. Gone.
❌ All 4 accounts permanently closed — including the untraded one
❌ My earned payout withheld
❌ Banned from the platform for life
❌ Over $3,300 in account fees — none of it refunded
I didn't give up. I sent a full, formal appeal: the complete timeline, evidence offered for the emergency, and one simple request — a single rescheduled call, webcam on, screen shared, anytime that suited them.
They reviewed it. And refused everything. Their exact words: "our position on this matter is final, and we now consider this matter closed."
Read that timeline again. KYC done in 3 hours. Call booked in minutes. A reschedule requested 90 minutes after an emergency. Where, at any point, did I stop cooperating?
So I have to ask honestly: emergencies can happen to anyone. Are we saying the people at Finotive could never face one? Never get caught by life at the wrong moment? If this exact situation happened to one of their own team, would "rules are rules" feel like justice?
I did everything right. Life did one thing wrong. And I lost everything — my accounts, my earnings, the fees I paid, and any chance of ever coming back.
Is this what transparency looks like?
@FinotiveFunding — my appeal is simple: please reconsider this decision. One rescheduled call. I'll join anytime, evidence in hand. That's all I have ever asked for.
To every funded trader reading this: I hope life never catches you at the wrong moment. Because apparently, one emergency is all it takes to lose it all.
@PFMSupport@MartinPFM@ResearchPFM@PropJoshD@PropFirmJournal@PropFirmMatch@finotiveceo@sirrillahfx @SirHisham_ @PFRT_X@PropFirmAdvisrs
An open letter to Oliver Newland, CEO of @FinotiveFunding.
@finotiveceo — I'm writing this publicly because your compliance team has told me the matter is closed. I'm hoping the man who built this firm sees it differently.
You founded Finotive on a mission you state publicly: to build the fairest, most transparent funding model in the industry, backed by a team that genuinely cares about trader success. "Trade fairly. Trade freely." That mission is why I chose Finotive. I passed THREE of your $200K evaluations — I hold three Certificates of Achievement carrying your signature. Clean record: zero strikes, zero breaches, zero negative balances. Four accounts, over $3,300 in fees paid.
Then a sudden family emergency — the kind that can strike anyone: me, you, or anyone on your team — made me miss ONE compliance call.
The timeline, fully documented:
✅ Enhanced KYC requested Mon 09:12 — completed in FULL by 12:13. Three hours, against your own 72-hour window.
✅ Compliance call requested 13:02 — booked within minutes, first available slot.
❌ Tue 09:00 — the emergency struck. I could not attend.
✅ Tue 10:34 — 90 minutes later, same morning, I emailed asking to reschedule.
The outcome: all 4 accounts permanently closed (one never traded a single position), my earned payout withheld, fees kept, lifetime ban. My detailed appeal was refused: "position is final, matter closed."
Oliver, I want to hold this against your own framework — respectfully:
1️⃣ Your Terms say failures of this kind "may" result in a range of outcomes — from restriction to closure. "May" is discretion. Your team chose the maximum option on that spectrum, against a trader with a spotless record, for one emergency-caused miss.
2️⃣ Your own help centre says minor issues can receive a warning or a request for clarification. Was no step between "missed one call" and "lose everything, forever" available for a compliant trader asking to rebook within 90 minutes?
3️⃣ Your team has publicly told other traders on Trustpilot that Finotive is "always open to taking a second look where appropriate." I've seen a trader's suspension reviewed, clarified and RESTORED after communication. So second looks exist at Finotive — I'm asking why not here, where the facts are this clean.
I'm not asking you to abandon your rules. Rules protect the firm and honest traders — I respect that; it's why I never broke one. I'm asking you to apply the discretion your own Terms reserve, in the spirit of the mission you wrote.
One rescheduled call. Webcam on. Screen shared. Any time your team chooses. Evidence of the emergency in hand.
Emergencies don't check calendars, Oliver. One day life catches all of us at the wrong moment. The measure of "the fairest firm in the industry" isn't how it treats traders when everything goes right — it's what it does when life goes wrong for someone who did everything else right.
I still believe in what you built. Show me I'm right to.

I did everything right. Life did one thing wrong. And I lost everything — my accounts, my earnings, the fees I paid, and any chance of ever coming back.
Is this what transparency looks like?
@FinotiveFunding — my appeal is simple: please reconsider this decision. One rescheduled call. I'll join anytime, evidence in hand. That's all I have ever asked for.
To every funded trader reading this: I hope life never catches you at the wrong moment. Because apparently, one emergency is all it takes to lose it all.

I need to share something that's genuinely broken my heart.
I chose @FinotiveFunding because of what they say they stand for; transparency, fairness, backing serious traders. I believed in it. I worked hard for years to trade at this level. I stayed disciplined, followed every rule, and kept a completely clean record: zero strikes, zero breaches, zero negative balances on any account. I passed their $200K evaluation with strict risk management. I hold the Certificate of Achievement signed by their CEO to prove it.
I held 4 accounts with them: three funded $200K accounts, and a brand- new 200K Pro Challenge I'd just purchased and had NEVER traded; not a single position. Over $3,300 paid in account fees across the four.
Then life happened. Here is the complete, timestamped timeline of how everything went:
📅 Mon 29 Jun, 09:12 — Finotive emails requesting Enhanced KYC, giving 72 hours to complete it.
✅ Mon 29 Jun, 12:13 — I complete my Enhanced KYC in FULL. Within 3 hours. Not 72.
📅 Mon 29 Jun, 13:02 — Finotive emails requesting an urgent compliance call.
✅ Minutes later — I book it instantly, at the FIRST available slot: Tuesday 30 Jun, 9:00am.
❌ Tue 30 Jun, 9:00am — A sudden family emergency, completely unforeseeable and outside my control, means I cannot attend. Not a rule breach. Not a bad trade. A missed call, during a genuine emergency.
✅ Tue 30 Jun, 10:34am — Just 90 minutes later, the SAME morning, I email them: explaining, apologising, asking to reschedule. I never went silent. I never refused. I asked to complete it.
Their response? Everything. Gone.
❌ All 4 accounts permanently closed — including the untraded one
❌ My earned payout withheld
❌ Banned from the platform for life
❌ Over $3,300 in account fees — none of it refunded
I didn't give up. I sent a full, formal appeal: the complete timeline, evidence offered for the emergency, and one simple request — a single rescheduled call, webcam on, screen shared, anytime that suited them.
They reviewed it. And refused everything. Their exact words: "our position on this matter is final, and we now consider this matter closed."

I'll let the trading community judge this one. Honest question, honest options — and I'll accept the verdict either way.
A trader with a clean record (zero strikes, zero breaches, KYC already completed in 3hrs) misses ONE compliance call due to a family emergency — and emails to reschedule 90 minutes later.
Was permanently closing ALL their accounts, withholding their payout, and banning them for life the right response?
