DO NOT TRUST QT FUNDED / QUANT TEKEL. I successfully completed my Stage 2 evaluation, received official passing certificates signed by the co-founders (James Manto & Alex), and had my $250 profit payout approved and moving through "Verification & Processing" on May 28th (Transaction ID: 14772). Weeks later, they retaliated against my account by claiming a "Hard Breach" occurred on May 14th—nearly six weeks after the fact! Here is why this is a complete, manual fabrication: The Trade Math: On May 14th, my dashboard shows a 100% Win Rate (5 wins / 0 losses), an A+ Performance Grade, and a daily P&L of +$105.41. The Certificates: Their system awarded my official Stage 2 Passing Certificate on May 15th—a full day after they now claim my account was "dead." Rule Contradiction: Their own website explicitly states risk is "monitored continuously." An automated, continuous system cannot pass an account, issue certificates, approve a payout, and then "discover" a breach six weeks later. They are retroactively altering backend data because they lack the liquidity to honor payouts. I have submitted full screenshot evidence and logs to an active US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Report (Ref #203121914) and am escalating to the UK's Action Fraud / FCA. ADVICE TO ALL TRADERS: If QT Funded has stolen your payout or changed your rules retroactively, contact your bank or credit card company immediately to file a CHARGEBACK for "Services Not Rendered / Fraudulent Business Practices." Card networks take this seriously, and forcing refunds through your bank will hit their merchant processors directly. Avoid this firm at all costs!

Worked example: on a $10,000 profit, if the rule caps a single day at 50% of total profit, no day can exceed $5,000 in P&L.

Restrictions of 5 minutes before or after high Impact News. You may hold or trigger orders placed 5+ minutes before news, but opening, closing, modifying trades, or editing/canceling orders within 5 minutes before/after or during news is strictly prohibited — violations result in a hard breach.
Worked example: with an absolute balance-based drawdown, the threshold is fixed at the start of the evaluation and does not trail your equity curve as you grow the account.
