My experience with Valor Funded Trader…
My experience with Valor Funded Trader has been very disappointing.
My account was suspended because 4 out of 75 trades had trade protection triggered within less than a minute, and they labeled this as “gambling,” even though there is no clear rule about this in their policies.
Throughout the account, my lot size was always 1 lot on a $200,000 account, with a drawdown of around $30,000 — which is nothing extreme for this account size. The trades where trade protection was triggered were making very small profits, around $20–$30 each, so I don’t see how this could reasonably be considered “gambling.”
Yet they still flagged 4 entry-protected trades out of 75 total trades as gambling activity.
I also had two profitable trades, one with $771 profit and another with $1,459 profit, and I still don’t understand why these were considered violations, especially since there is no clear consistency rule.
In my opinion, the company looks for any reason to stop traders from withdrawing their profits instead of supporting clients and applying transparent and fair rules. This experience has been very frustrating, and based on what I went through personally, I would not recommend dealing with them.
I have attached the email they sent me so others can see their reasoning and judge for themselves.
