Scaled my account twice
Just received my fourth payout, so I figured it was time to leave a review. Payouts arrived within the window they advertised every single time. Feels like they respect their traders, which is more than I can say for …— Verified Trader (arjun mehta) See all reviews
The 2% rule applies to your entire position on a trade idea — not per order. If you open three buys on EURUSD in sequence, all three count toward one 2% combined limit. News hedging is a hard no — don't open both directions around a news event. Keep your IP consistent and avoid logging in from new devices or locations without expecting a review.

SpiceProp – Trading Conditions
SpiceProp is one of those firms that says:
“Just trade normally.”
And then hands you a rulebook that quietly defines what “normally” means… in great detail.
The good news?
- Most of it actually makes sense.
The other good news?
- You will discover just how specific “making sense” can get, through our honest, comprehensive review.
Independent Trading Only (No Borrowed Genius)
Not allowed:
- - copying signals
- - copying other traders
- - copying your favorite Telegram “guru”
Also not allowed:
- - copying between different users
- - copying between multiple funded accounts
- - copying from Challenge → Funded
Allowed:
- - your own Funded Account → your own Challenge
So yes, you can clone yourself.
Just make sure it’s actually you doing the thinking.
Short-Term Trading (Speed Is Fine… Until It Isn’t)
The rule:
- - Trades under 3 minutes = “short-term”
The limit:
- - max 5% of total trades
Exception:
Only if:
- - SL/TP was properly set
- - and the trade behaved like a normal human decision
This is basically:
“You can be fast… just don’t look like you’re speedrunning the market.”
Activity Rules (Don’t Pretend to Trade)
- - Opening tiny trades just to tick boxes → not allowed
- - Staying barely active → not allowed
If your account looks like:
“I’m just here so I don’t get disqualified”
They’ll notice.
Account Rules (You Are One Person. Act Like It.)
Strict setup:
- - one trader
- - one account
- - one device environment
- - one IP ecosystem
Not allowed:
- - account sharing
- - passing services
- - “my friend traded it for me” stories
CID / IP conflicts:
→ instantly suspicious
There's no “damn, I logged in from Starbucks.”
Strategy Rules (No Creative Shortcuts)
Prohibited:
- - arbitrage
- - latency tricks
- - grid / martingale
- - all-in trading
- - exploiting system delays
News Hedging:
Opening buy + sell around news?
→ bold strategy
→ also not allowed
Correlated Tricks:
Trying to outsmart the system with correlated pairs?
They’re not impressed.
Consequences (Yes, They Mean It)
Break the rules and you might get:
- - account suspended
- - payout rejected
- - profits reset
- - account closed
- - permanent ban
So… maybe don’t test all of them at once.
Risk Management (Where They Get Serious)
The 2% Rule (The One You Don’t Ignore)
Definition:
- - max 2% risk per trading idea
Translation:
If you open multiple positions on the same thing…
they count as one big idea.
Enforcement:
- - Challenge → they watch
- - Funded → they act
If you push it:
- - payout delays
- - restrictions
- - resets
- - or the classic: “account gone”
Correlation Rules (Nice Try Though)
Spreading risk across correlated assets?
If correlation is ±80% →
you didn’t outsmart anything.
You just made it more obvious.
Consistency Score (No One-Hit Wonders)
Formula:
- Biggest win ÷ total profit
Limit:
- - max 30% from one day or trade
If you exceed:
→ payout gets delayed
This is basically:
“We like skill. Not lucky explosions.”
Stop Loss (Technically Optional… Emotionally Required)
- - Not mandatory
- - But expected
If your trades look like:
“I’ll just hold and hope”
You’re entering the “we should probably look at this account” category.
Payout Conditions (The Moment of Truth)
To get paid:
- - 14 active days
- - 4 profitable days (≥0.5%)
- - €100 minimum profit
- - KYC done
Simple enough… until you try to rush it.
Manual Review
Triggered by:
- - weird patterns
- - risk issues
- - inconsistency
Duration:
- - usually up to 7 days
KYC, IP & Location (You, But Actually You)
Allowed:
- - VPN/VPS (if not hiding identity)
Not allowed:
- - multiple locations
- - IP inconsistencies
- - “I was in 3 countries today”
Bonus:
They may ask for a video call
Yes, at some point it might turn into:
“Hi, can you confirm you’re a real human?”
This sounds actually pretty reasonable. Think of it like an interview for NASA.
Funded Stage (Not Instant VIP)
After passing:
- - 24h review
- - full audit
Then:
→ funded account
No shortcuts here.
Final Take
SpiceProp is structured, clear, and honestly… pretty fair.
They’re not trying to trick you.
But they’re also not letting you freestyle your way through the system.
If your style is:
- - disciplined
- - consistent
- - controlled
You’ll probably do just fine.

mixed feelings overall
Went in for the cheap eval mostly to see what all the fuss was about. i appreciated the free retry but it came with a stricter target. the dashboard looks clean but half the stats i actually want arent on it. fees are transparent at least, even if theyre not the lowest around. execution during london open was fine, new york open had some slippage. the trading conditions are okay, just dont expect raw spreads at this price. earned a cautious thumbs up from a guy who trusts no one.
good firm bad app
Picked them because they were one of the few that took traders from my country. the payout came through but a week later than the window they advertise. drawdown rules are clear, the part that got me was how the buffer shrinks. scaling plan exists but you grind a long time before the first bump. support knows their stuff but you wait in a queue to reach them. they are ok, just not the firm their marketing says they are. can you guys get in contact with this firm if I provide an acc number? their customer support hasn't replied in 7 days.
Money Landed No Fuss
Been curious about these guys since they launched. the challenge timer is generous, i never felt rushed into bad trades. crypto and wire both supported … i did wire and it hit my bank in two business days. the withdrawal request i submitted on a tuesday was sitting in my bank by thursday morning. i got a small payout bonus for hitting a milestone which was unexpected. no notes really, it just works.
like it but with reservations
got in through an affiliate link from a trader i follow, no shame. fees are reasonable for what you get, just not a bargain. the scaling plan looks generous until you read the conditions attached. spreads on majors are reasonable, gold is where they widen out on you. the drawdown rule is fair but the way they calculate it is buried three faqs deep. i neither recommend nor warn you off, just go in eyes open.
fifty fifty experience
Needed a firm that allowed my EA so this is where i ended up. verification cleared but they asked me to re record the video once. the consistency requirement kept me disciplined but also kept me small. the platform does the job but it freezes for a second or two when news drops. good enough to keep, not good enough to recommend loudly.
funded and paid
Picked this firm because they supported my exact strategy. you can hold trades through the weekend on the funded side which a lot of firms wont let you do. the challenge target felt achievable with proper risk … not some gambling threshold. the challenge rules are strict but at least they are written in plain english for once.
exactly what i hoped for
bought in after they ran a promo i couldn't ignore. the news trading rules are clearly listed so theres no nasty surprise after you pass. their scaling plan doesnt reset your progress if you have one losing month which is rare. i renewed my challenge this month which is basically my whole review right there. i held positions over the weekend a bunch of times and never got penalised. four stars from me, knocking one off purely for the dated dashboard.
pleasantly surprised tbh
A coworker who trades pointed me toward them. support remembered my previous ticket and didnt make me re-explain the whole thing. drawdown is end of day based not intraday so a quick wick against me doesnt kill the account. the dashboard shows my drawdown buffer in real time so i never have to guess how much room is left. if you respect the drawdown they will respect your withdrawals, simple.
does what it says
Picked these guys mostly because of the discount code floating around. the trailing drawdown is reasonable if you size your positions like an adult. the daily loss limit gives you enough room to actually trade your plan instead of choking you out. the mobile app stays synced with desktop so i can check positions on the go without lag. the eval took me like 27 trading days total, not fast not slow, just fair. passed … paid, repeat, that is the cycle and it has held up.
smooth from eval to payout
Tried a bunch of firms this year so i know what to look for by now. no surprise inactivity fees which i half expected to get hit with. kyc was painless, uploaded my id and got verified the same afternoon. i like that they show your stats in real time instead of a delayed dashboard. the scaling plan is actually motivating instead of being some impossible carrot on a stick. i emailed about a deduction i didnt understand and they explained it within the hour. solid firm, not perfect, but it does what it says on the tin.
No payout data available for Spice Prop yet.
