This firm is not consistent
This firm is not consistent, and they have denied me my rewards twice now, I reached out to their support for help, but they couldn't do anything to it. I'm disappointed. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. I recommend PAIVA. They do pay.

SCAM ALERT!!!!
I have been working at this company for just over a year. Initially, the experience was excellent: payments were punctual and, when a withdrawal was rejected, the justification was always based on some rule that I had broken. However, about six months ago, the company underwent significant changes: changes to rules and platforms, delays in verification and payments, and payment irregularities.
The good phase lasted a while. When I started, the company's rating on this site was 4.4 (considered excellent), but today it is at 2.8 and falling. The current situation indicates a serious situation, close to imminent bankruptcy. From now on, I expressed my dissatisfaction publicly on all my social networks.

NextStepFunded is a Professional SCAM
NextStepFunded is an obvious SCAM with a professional slow rug pull to newbies, it never paid me a single payout even though my trades are inside their shitty consistency rules (1 lot), and they always deny the payout request and come up with shitty explanations and trades from 2/3 months ago, I emailed the support with not only screenshots but screen record of all my trades from inside my MT5 iOS app, not worth any pinny or effort, careful everyone!
They closed their Discord because of the obvious, their support is not even giving a single answer (I emailed them several times since Oct 2024) nothing, they are acting like DEAD because they know what they are doing!
Consistency Breach after consistency breach after consistency breach, and guess what? They all contain the same trades as the previous consistency breach.
They're just repeating and repeating and repeating!
Screen record Proof (consistent lot size and tp/sl): I would like to add a link to a video but TrustPilot is not allowing it because of the rules!

Worst prop firm on the market
With a 2.8 overall review score you would have to be seriously out of your mind to invest your money into this prop firm, there are soo money better options out there so go and look around.
This prop firm does not pay out. They have closed their discord chat for some time and there’s a reason for that. This is a proper bottom of the barrel prop firm and I would say one of the worse out there. STAY WELL CLEAR!

Hello,
I can't comment much on the company yet.
I made a withdrawal request on 12/6/2024 and am awaiting a response.
I had no problems with my trades, and my positions were all executed correctly.
No slippage on orders.
It seems like a good company to me.

Back to square 1 second withdrawal…
Back to square 1 second withdrawal denied apparently due to quote ' such as utilizing commercial EAs, signal providers, live trading rooms, live trading video conferencing, account management, and more'
Complete bull, i didn't use any of it
They just don't like successful traders
''In light of the situation, instead of terminating your account, we are taking corrective steps. Your Autotrade access (EA usage) will be temporarily disabled for a month, and your account balance will be reset to the initial balance, subject to our Month One consistency rules. This reset offers a fresh start to demonstrate profitable and rules-compliant trading. If consistent profitability is shown in the next month, we will consider re-enabling Autotrade access post a successful withdrawal''

Will trade and see what they come up with in one month time

SCAM SCAM SCAM
SCAM SCAM SCAM
They never give payouts.I made a profit of 7k on 50k funded Account. I respect every single rule. Now when it comes to payout they will give a reason that your payout is declined because of copyright trading which is not true. I respect every rule.
The thing is they don't have money to pay , they just collect money from challenges if someone else reach to final step after clearing or finish all steps or challenges they will give Demo funded account instead of live funded Account which actually shows there intentions that they are doing only scams.
Now , they remove my 7k profit from Dashboard and email me to start again from zero. It means after 30 days if I made 7k they will again just push email me that you are doing copy trading that's why we declined again. SCAM SCAM SCAM.
You guys can email me for proofs in a form o screenshots of my everysingle Trade and everything from 1st to last day.
I have proofs and bundle of proofs to show if any one wants even if trust pilot need that proof definitely i will provide so that you guys don't waste your money and time.

A fraudulent company
A fraudulent company. Beware of investing in it. The numbers are being manipulated. I was excluded and my account did not reach the daily loss. I do not recommend it to traders, even though my account was small as an experiment at first. I repeat and repeat that the company is a 100/100 scam. I have all the pictures that prove what I am talking about.

Just a bunch of clowns!
Never work with this company unless you dont want to waste money and time. That was my last attempt to get a payout. I didn't get a single payout for more than 6 months. They just make excuses not to pay you. Now they accuse me in copy trading... well I can say I am pretty profitable trader and have never ever copy traded. Now they are going to copy-paste their regular answer, that if you stick to thei rules they always pay and that I am stupid cause I didnt read their "clear rules on their site" Just a bunch of BS.
- They are just so close to bankruptcy, that they just dont have money to pay their clients
- They dont have support channels... just no way to reach support or whatever
- They only post discounts on social media, hoping to scam as much people as possible before they just shutdown
STAY AS FAR AS POSSIBLE FROM THOSE SCAMMERS!!!!!
