Disputes we track

Rules where a firm's own pages disagree with each other. Instead of hiding it, we flag it — and don't publish a number until it's resolved. The humbler read always wins.

35rules where the firm contradicts itself · across 16 firms
5rules where the disagreement is between third parties — not counted above

Why it matters: a value the firm's own pages disagree on is exactly where you can get blindsided. Affiliate sites hide it because it breaks the buy funnel. We don't.

Payouts · Whether payouts can be denied

Firm contradicts itself
Homepage banner
“NO Payout Denials”
source
EOD Payouts help article
“Payout requests below the balance threshold, failing the 50% consistency check, or with fewer than 5 qualifying days are not honored”
source

What it costs you: A trader relying on the banner may expect every requested payout to be honored; the help article's threshold, consistency and qualifying-day checks are the conditions under which it is not.

Pricing · Whether Legacy accounts can be purchased today

Firm contradicts itself
Legacy Products page
“Legacy Accounts – Available Now – Limited Time”
source
Homepage, "What about legacy accounts?" FAQ
“No longer available for new purchases.”
source
Homepage, Limited-Time Offer section
“Legacy Accounts Are Back For a Limited Time. Our Legacy Accounts evaluation accounts have returned across 6 balance tiers and 3 platforms. Available only while the promotion lasts.”
source

What it costs you: The Legacy 100K is the Apex product we rank, so if it could not be bought our price would not be buyable. The product page sells it today with a working signup button at $297/month, $29.70 with code SAVENOW and $125.00 activation. We are not picking a side: the homepage FAQ says the opposite and neither carries a date. If you intend to buy, check on the product page, which is the one that charges you.

Drawdown · Drawdown on the Fast Track $50,000 account, and whether it carries a daily loss limit

Firm contradicts itself
accounts-pricing page
“Fast Track $50,000: drawdown "$2,500", profit target "$3,000", contract limit "7", "Minimum trading days: None". Two risk models offered — "Trailing Drawdown" ("Your loss limit follows your highest point - including open positions, in real time") and "End-of-Day Drawdown" ("Your loss limit moves only once a day - at the close, on realised profit"), described as "Same account sizes, same targets, same platforms. Only the risk model changes." No daily loss limit stated.”
source
Help centre - Fast Track
“$50,000 Option 1 (Trailing Drawdown): one-time fee "$488", trailing drawdown "$2,250", contract limit "7 minis (70 micros)". Option 2 (EOD Drawdown / No Scaling): one-time fee "$488", EOD drawdown "$2,250", daily loss limit "$1,200", contract limit "4 minis (40 micros)".”
source

What it costs you: $250 of drawdown room separates the two pages, and only one of them mentions that an end-of-day option exists with a $1,200 daily loss limit and a lower contract cap. Sizing off the pricing page alone can put you over a limit you did not know applied. We keep $2,500 from the pricing page and do not pick a side; assume the tighter $2,250 and check which risk model you bought.

“Fast Track: "$175one-time" (alongside Qualification "$145one-time", Momentum $100,000 "$215one-time", Momentum $150,000 "$325one-time")”
source

source

What it costs you: Both ladders are Bulenox's own and neither presents itself as a discount of the other — no strike-through, no "was", no promo label. The gap on the 50K alone is $313. We track $175 from the pricing page and do not pick a side. The always-on code BULENOX states no percentage anywhere we can read, so it cannot reconcile the two.

“default 4%; the daily limit is auto-set at 66% of the chosen drawdown when customized”
source

What it costs you: On a $100K One account the gap is $1,000 of daily room, and the limit is hard: touching it closes the account permanently. Trading to a 4% line when 3% is the one enforced ends the account a full percentage point early.

Pricing · How much E8's own code E8 discounts on E8 One (Forex)

Firm contradicts itself
Discount-code page
“Code "E8" listed at "10% off" for "E8 Pro (Forex), E8 Signature (Forex), E8 One (Forex)", applicability "All purchases", expiry "-". The same page separately lists "E8" at "50% off" and "30% off" for E8 Pro and E8 One (Perpetual), "E8" at "25% off" for E8 Signature (Futures), "REB8" at "35% off" for E8 Zero MAX and E8 Zero Starter (Futures), and "E8PATH" at "25% off" for E8 One, E8 Pro and E8 Signature (Forex), "First purchase".”
source
E8 One product configurator
“Badge reads "25% OFF" with "Save $122 with code E8 on first order"; serves 200K "$798" -> "$599" and 100K "$488" -> "$366" at the default "6% Max" drawdown and "80%" split. $488 - $366 = $122, i.e. exactly 25%, not 10%.”
source

What it costs you: Fifteen percentage points, plus the question of whether the code works once or always. E8's discount page says code E8 is worth 10% on E8 One (Forex) and on all purchases; the product's own configurator applies 25% and describes it as valid on a first order. On the 200K we track, that distance is about $160. We compute with what the configurator serves, since that is where you pay, but we do not treat the disagreement as settled. Check the total at checkout before paying.

“All Elite Accounts must be flat 5 min before to 5 min after the event”
source
Help-centre article, undated
“ETF does not impose any restrictions or limitations on traders during major economic news events”
source

What it costs you: The May ToS did NOT contain the clause: the rule was added between May and July and the FAQ was never updated. Worse, the ToS says the covered events are listed here and links to a page with no list at all - no FOMC, no CPI, no NFP. You cannot know which event breaks your account.

FTMO

Pricing · Whether the $100K 1-Step Challenge is actually discounted by 20%

Firm contradicts itself
Challenge pages banner
“20% Off Special deal on $100K 1-Step Challenge”
source
The promo landing page the banner links to
“One-time, non-refundable fees in euros with no percentage, no promo code, no struck-through price and no end date anywhere on the page: $10,000 EUR 79, $25,000 EUR 199, $50,000 EUR 319, $100,000 EUR 499 (labelled best value), $200,000 EUR 999”
source

What it costs you: The banner claims a fifth off; the page it links to shows a flat fee with nothing struck through, so there is no way to tell what the discount is measured against or whether it has already been applied. We have not derived a pre-discount price from the claim. Take the euro figure on the promo page as the price you will pay and treat the 20% as unevidenced until FTMO shows the original.

Firm contradicts itself
Coupon FAQ, homepage and Three Phase page
“ONESTEP35 - 35% off 1-Phase, expires 31 December 2026; CHART30 - 30% off all programs excluding Instant Lite, expires 1 October 2026. The FAQ carrying this roster is itself stamped "Last Updated: January 31, 2024".”
source
2-Phase, 1-Phase and 3-Phase program pages - each serves the 30% roster AND a 20% banner at the same time
“Carries "NEW TRADERS: 35% OFF 1-PHASE" (ONESTEP35, expires "31st December 2026") and "THIS MONTH'S OFFER: 30% OFF ALL PROGRAMS (excl. Instant Lite)" (CHART30, expires "1st October 2026") - AND, on the same page, a separate banner with no expiry stated: "Back to Trading - summer sun is down, charts are back up. 20% off all programs. Use code CHART20." Re-read first-hand 2026-09-10, unchanged. On 2026-09-10 the same undated CHART20 banner was also found on https://fxify.com/programs/one-phase/ and https://fxify.com/programs/three-phase/, so the intra-page contradiction repeats on all three program pages; the homepage serves only ONESTEP35 and CHART30 and is clean. On 2026-09-08 the 2-Phase page served the older pair ONESTEP30 / CHART20 only; that earlier reading is superseded and was corrected publicly rather than edited silently.”
source

What it costs you: Ten percentage points on every program. On the 400K we track, the gap between a 20% and a 30% code is $295. As of 9 September the disagreement sits inside one page rather than between pages: FXIFY's 2-Phase page — the page for the very program we rank — serves CHART30 at 30% and a separate CHART20 banner at 20%, both worded as applying to all programs, and only the 30% one carries an expiry. We budget on 20%, the more conservative figure, and leave the better-looking one alone. Check the total at checkout: the code that applies is the one the cart honours, not the one the banner shows.

source
TPT campaign landing (futures-traders-tab1-0725)
“You can reset any test account for $100. It's totally optional and there are no limits to test resets.”

We do not pick between them: help.the5ers.com did not open on any read of 2026-09-14, so the $150 is neither confirmed nor withdrawn.
