The Funded Room review

It is a registered Delaware company (Xybit Inc.) that sells real accounts and pays some traders, so it is not a fake site. But it only launched in February 2026, holds a 2.6 Trustpilot score with 65% one-star reviews, and faces many credible reports of disputed breaches and denied payouts. Treat it as high risk.

Yes, the firm claims $4.5 million paid by September 2026 and many traders report payouts within hours via Rise or USDT. At the same time, 20% of recent negative Trustpilot reviews say a payout was denied or profits were cancelled, often for toxic trading, HFT or a daily-loss breach found at payout time.

Requests are accepted only in a weekly Monday window (India time), and the firm says most are processed in under 2 hours, up to 24 hours with checks. Some traders confirm that speed; others report approved payouts still unpaid after days or weeks while trading on the account stays paused.

The firm does not publish one. We estimate about 8% of evaluation buyers reach a funded account, based on its Two-Step resembling FTMO-style programs with roughly 10% pass rates and its harder One-Step ratio of a 10% target to a 6% max loss.

The ones that catch traders are funded-stage filters: profits from trades under 2 minutes are excluded, more than 10% of trades or profit under 1 minute blocks payouts, 4 same-direction fills in 3 minutes is HFT, and risk on one asset per day is summed against a 3% cap. A trading day also only counts if your balance moves 0.25%.

Yes in evaluation. On funded accounts, profits from trades opened or closed within 3 minutes of a red-folder ForexFactory event don't count unless the trade was opened at least 5 hours before the release.

Only for trade and risk management. Third-party EAs built to pass evaluations and copy-trading services are banned, and since the firm uses its own web platform rather than MT4 or MT5, running a full trading algorithm is not practical.

No. Checkout is blocked for US visitors even though the firm lists a New York address, and residents of sanctioned countries are excluded under its terms.

The firm runs short codes through its X and Telegram channels, usually 10% off for a few days, and none was live on its site when we checked. There is no standing code, so check its official channels before buying.

It is operated by Xybit Inc., registered in Delaware. Indian YouTuber Mayank Raj is widely reported as the founder and is the firm's public face, and its app listing uses a Xybit Funds contact address; the firm does not publish a CEO or ownership breakdown.

The account is failed and the fee is not refunded under any circumstances. You can buy a new challenge; the firm sometimes reissues accounts at its discretion, but traders report that disputes over breaches are rarely reversed.

The Two-Step is easier to pass: 8% and 5% targets against a 10% static max loss and 5% daily loss, with up to 1:100 leverage. The One-Step needs 10% against only 6% max loss and 3% daily loss at 1:30, and costs more ($359 vs $299 for $50K).

Its own browser-based terminal and a mobile app, not MetaTrader or cTrader. It offers 8 FX pairs, gold, silver, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and Dogecoin, and reviewers frequently complain about chart lag, wide spreads and orders that fail to execute.
