Trader Support and Feedback
- Declared communication channels:
-
Email • Email remains an active communication channel despite the widespread use of chatbots, which is a pleasant surprise. Interestingly, I submitted a question: “Is it possible to access statistics on traders who successfully passed challenges?” The response came quickly, but the company refused to provide any statistics. Representatives claim that many traders they’ve worked with have successfully completed their challenges and are now managing funded accounts.
Online chat • A typical industry situation: you’re greeted by an AI agent giving templated responses. However, in this case, the AI assistant proactively offered to connect me with a live support representative. I confirmed. And then… silence. Three hours passed, and I never received a reply. No one even greeted me.
Knowledge base • Available. The search function works properly.

Negative Reviews Online
Some traders report problems with the KYC procedure. One user completed the first phase of the challenge but was rejected three times during the verification process. As a result, the account was blocked.
Another trader complains about hidden rules. He claims to have violated a rule that was never disclosed in advance, and only at the funding stage was he denied access. He spent a month working on it and ultimately had to start over. In the Discord comments, users also mention that the company often rejects or bans profitable traders.
Opinion of the Mystery Shopper
For Traders is a prop trading firm targeting the international market, offering fairly flexible trading conditions. The company is relatively new to the industry and is clearly trying to carve out its niche by offering competitive challenge pricing and introducing new trading instruments. For example, futures have been added relatively recently. The instant funding account also looks attractive. However, like many young companies in the industry, For Traders faces some typical “growing pains”: there are critical trader reviews about hidden rules and failed verifications. Customer support also leaves room for improvement. These aspects should be taken into account.
Is the company suitable to be recommended for cooperation?
I haven’t completed a challenge on this platform yet, but I don’t rule out trying a For Traders challenge in the near future. The decision on whether this prop firm is right for you is entirely up to you.

Reviews
I really appreciate that For Traders provides excellent trading conditions: low spreads, high-quality market analysis tools, and top-tier support. Additionally, payouts are always on time, which is crucial for professional traders.
I also want to highlight the friendly trading community and the support from the company’s team on Discord. They are genuinely invested in our success and help us grow as professionals.
Their one- and two-step challenges are fair, with no time limits and up to 90% profit split. Support was quick, and payouts came on time. But beware: the 40% margin rule on funded accounts is strict — go over it and your account is gone, profit or not. Leverage is limited (1:125 max, lower on gold), and some assets feel tight. Also, some pro-style challenges forbid EAs or external copy trading, and they can randomly tweak rules mid account based on vague “consistency” metrics—frustrating if you're scaling up.
