From Land of Origin

They recently sent me an email claiming that my account activity on MT5 was accessed via a VPN from the US and Canada — supposedly on October 17. The major issue is that my account wasn’t even ready at that time, and I had no access to MT5, so the allegation makes no sense.

Even more concerning:
• My MatchTrade account was funded on November 9.
• I received “Congratulations – Your Payout Request Has Been Received!” on November 29.
• They approved my Certificate, approved my Payout, and only after all of this did they decide to block my account.

If there was truly a violation, they would not have funded the account, approved the certificate, or accepted the payout request. Their own timeline contradicts their claim.

Another frustrating part is their customer support. Whenever I raised the issue, they responded with the same repeated message:
“The team is currently following up on your concern, you will be provided with an update as soon as there is one.”
And nothing ever moved forward.

Overall, this experience feels unfair, inconsistent, and unprofessional. I hope others take this into consideration before choosing this firm.

I am writing this review to warn other traders. My experience with The EquityEdge was a complete scam. After successfully completing their evaluation and trading profitably on a funded account, I reached the payout threshold. The moment I submitted my withdrawal request, my account was abruptly blocked.

There was no email, no warning, and no reason given. All my attempts to contact support have been ignored. It is clear that their entire business model is based on taking challenge fees and then preventing any payouts by finding excuses (or in my case, no excuse at all) to shut down accounts. Do not trust this company with your money. They are fraudulent.
