EEA 

I am a South African trader who successfully passed the Equity Edge challenge and earned a profit of $1,026.28. After requesting my withdrawal, my account was terminated without a valid reason.

This decision was directly linked to me raising concerns about their practices on a public forum.

I have since verified that Equity Edge is not registered with the FSCA (Financial Sector Conduct Authority), meaning they are operating without a license in South Africa and traders have no legal protection.

Due to this, I have been forced to formally report the company to the FSCA for investigation into unlicensed financial services and unfair treatment of clients.

My intention is not to harm the company but to resolve this matter fairly. I am open to communication and will update this review should a resolution be reached.

I recently lost my funded account, but I was very impressed with the excellent service I received from the team. Chelsea assisted me with quick clarification and provided efficient, professional support throughout the process. The response was fast, clear, and very helpful, which gave me confidence and motivation to try again in the future. Thank you for the outstanding service and support—I truly appreciate it!

Just after requesting my payout, I was sent an email two days later to schedule a risk interview, which was set to take place after 14 days. Once those 14 days had passed, I was then told to wait yet another 14 days for an update. Even after this extended period, I still received no communication from Equity Edge. I had to constantly chase for updates, only to be given vague and unsatisfactory responses. This lack of transparency and accountability has left me truly disappointed in Equity Edge.

Five stars because Adam and Hardy made sure my payment issue was resolved to my satisfaction. Thank you guys.

Blocked my whole account and falsely accused for violence without evidence. Only used first time too.

If i had never received payout from them id give em one star since it seems impossible to not even give a star. They took me out for 1.2% when my sl was at break even and there were no news even and not any volatility. In all trafingview brokers theres no volatility wicks or anythig

I am writing this to warn every trader to avoid Equity Edge Analytics at all costs. This is not a legitimate prop firm; it is a sophisticated scam designed to steal your challenge fee and deny all withdrawals using false accusations.

My experience proves they use a two-step scam process:

The First Excuse ("Gambling"): My first payout request ($105) was rejected under a vague "Gambling Policy." I accepted this, improved my strategy, and continued trading successfully.

The Real Excuse ("Group Trading"): When I requested a larger, rightful payout of $535, they immediately BANNED my account. The reason? "Group trading." Their "evidence"? My brother, who lives with me, had an account 4-6 months ago on the same internet connection. He did his own KYC, made one withdrawal, and quit trading months ago. His account is inactive.

This is a predatory trap. They know most households share one IP address. They use this to falsely link accounts and invent "group trading" violations to avoid paying profitable traders.

Key Proof of the Scam:

Moving the Goalposts: They rejected my first payout for one reason ("gambling") and the larger one for a completely different, more severe reason ("group trading"). This is a classic scam tactic.

Zero Investigation: I offered to do ANYTHING to prove I trade alone: a new live interview, new KYC, any proof they needed. They refused to even look at evidence and told me the decision was "final."

Contradictory Support: Their support agent said they would "review" my case but in the same breath stated the breach is "final and will not be overturned," proving the review is a sham meant to stall.

FINAL WARNING: Do not trust this company with your money. They are not reviewers; they are gatekeepers who change the rules whenever you succeed. They will take your challenge fee and use any excuse to keep your profits.

I have full screenshot evidence of all emails and Discord conversations to support every claim in this review.

give me a clear answer. I want to open an account, but the money I have is in Binance. The company Equity Edge refused to accept payment in USDT. So how can I use my money to pay for the account? This is very important for me, and Where can I send the money?please help.🙏

Pure scam, they don't pay even if u trade with strict rules

I have requested my payout on 15th july, they take me to a risk interview on 25th july then said me i had to wait 14 more days for the team to do the checks, 8th August, 14 days made i opened a ticket, but the answer over the same, wait for updates. Opened a ticket since this day dayly, and today still not solved nor paid neither rejected. And they ban me out to open tickets.

Don’t use this prop firm
I got banned for no reason
Absolutely disgusting

Worst experience with EEA. I passed my challenge and KYC not happening due to their technical issues. I tried multiple times and even their customer support guide me to do kyc unfortunately it didn't happen. My contract was issued but I was not able to sign it due to kyc unverified. After verious mails their support team telling me that I'm suspicious and KYC not meet requirement fraudulent activities and they didn't issue contract and nor refund the amount.

This company is scammer not accountability and honesty

Check their last firm name. They changed it in order to fix their reviews

Equity Edge is a complete scam. After grinding through their challenge, trading with discipline, and finally requesting my payout, they banned me instantly. No warning, no proper explanation, just shut me out the moment I was due to get paid.

This is how shady prop firms operate – they take traders’ fees, let you pass, then block payouts so they never have to honor their promises. Equity Edge is NOT a legitimate prop firm. They prey on traders, and the second you’re profitable, they find a reason to cut you off.

If you value your time, money, and effort – stay FAR away from this so-called “prop firm.” There are trusted names out there, but Equity Edge is NOT one of them. They’re nothing more than a scam disguised as a prop.

horrible absolutely horrible, i passed both stages, and then i am waiting for my contract, yet they breach my account for gambling? i max risked 2% ONE TIME, and all other trades have been risk 0.5% or 1%. There is no lot size limit so what gambling?
And when i ask for proof that i was gambling, they say that the risk team is closed during weekends but the risk team sent me an email during the weekend? what nonsense
STAY AWAY SCAM FIRM STAY AWAY
DO NOT GO FOR EQUITY EDGE
I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THEM SINCE THEY WERE FOUNDED AND THEY ARE SCAMMERS
SCAM SCAM SCAM

I purchased a challenge account with Equity Edge and successfully passed both Phase 1 and Phase 2. After completing Phase 2, I was suddenly disqualified for “spamming trades.”

Here are the facts:

The trades in question happened in Phase 1. Compliance had already reviewed and cleared that account before I moved on to Phase 2.

The flagged trades were identical duplicates placed on mobile, clearly caused by a technical/accidental duplication. There was no strategy, no unfair advantage, and no manipulation of the order book.

Despite this, the firm applied a retroactive violation after I passed Phase 2, contradicting their own progression system.

I fully respect rules against abusive strategies, but in this case:

No profit or advantage was gained.

The rule was applied mechanically without considering intent or impact.

Retroactive disqualification undermines trader confidence in the evaluation process.

This experience feels less like fair enforcement and more like a convenient way to avoid paying out successful traders. A reputable firm should differentiate between deliberate exploitation and a one-time technical glitch.

I hope this review helps other traders make informed decisions.

Stay away from EE they are not here for traders. Any good review you see is probably bribed with what was supposed to be urs anyways they make it seem like they’re doing you a favour and get u to write something good it’s actually a joke. My experience with EE hasn’t ever been smooth ever always had to complain or something to get what was mine anyways and made to feel like they’re doing me a favour.
Support went missing and Berkay and whoever else I had contact with just stopped replying after getting rejected a big amount. Disappointing

Title: Payout Denied & Pressured to Remove Review

Review:
I recently requested a payout from Equity Edge, but it was denied due to a “third-party payment” issue. While I understand this rule is in their FAQ, what feels unfair is that the company still accepts payments from traders on breached accounts, only to later reject payouts when profits are made.

When I raised this concern on their Discord, I was blocked instead of given a proper explanation. Even more concerning, at one point I was personally called by Tris, a member of their team, and asked to remove my Trustpilot review in order to receive my payout.

This raises serious questions about transparency and fairness. Traders should be aware: you can pay fees, trade successfully, and grow your account, but still have your payout withheld over rules that aren’t enforced until withdrawal.

I’m sharing this so others go in fully informed. I hope Equity Edge reconsiders these practices and handles traders with more integrity.

What an Evil! EquityEdge.io made up a 2 minute rule as an excuse, It wasn't there in the main rules when I bought the challenge. All proof of their emails and screenshots are in file & I'm speaking with a lawyer in the UK to take advantage of this and sue EE. I can't imagine that. RUN!
