SC#M WARNING: @EquityEdgeUK denied my payout with multiple conflicting excuses—and broke their own rules in the process. This thread breaks down how they went from a “2-minute trade” excuse to inventing an undocumented “second breach” policy.

That tweet from @TheCRTrader on April 15 sent shockwaves through the trading community, quickly going viral and prompting a deeper look into Equity Edge’s payout practices.
Rejected Payout: $674.92
The trader requested a payout, but was denied. The reason? Alleged breach of the firm’s 2-Minute Trade Duration Rule.
What the Email Says
In the official communication, Equity Edge support stated:
“The average duration of all trades should exceed 2 minutes… Any profit made within 2 minutes on a funded account will be deducted.”
But it didn’t stop there:
“Given the multiple warnings you have received… your request will be deemed ineligible. Consequently, your profit share will be forfeited.”
What Discord Says
In Discord, the same trader asked:
“Will it cause my account to be disabled or total payout declined?”
To which a support mod replied:
“It’s the profit that will be deducted that you made under 2 minutes.”
But when the trader pressed further:
“Now why did you disable my account and decline my full payout???”
They responded:
“If the total deductions made exceed 25% of your requested profit share, your payout will be rejected and the account reset back to its initial balance.”
So, which is it?
Second Violation = No Payout?
As the thread continues, it appears Equity Edge introduced an undocumented “second breach” rule that hadn’t been made public anywhere before. According to the trader, this was never mentioned until after the rejection was finalized.
The lack of a clear, consistent policy has left traders wondering if rules are being written on the fly to justify withheld payouts.
Community Reaction
As the thread gained traction, other traders began to speak out.
One of the replies that perfectly captured the sentiment came from @Napheesatourh, who wrote:
“Guys stay away from these firm they are Scammers
