I've been sitting on this for a month trying to handle it professionally. I'm done. The trading community deserves to know what's happening.
I've been a repeat customer of TradeXMastery. I trusted them. On March 31, 2026, I purchased a $25k Funded Challenge account for $161 paid in Ethereum through Coinbase. Same day, I submitted a payout request for $427.25 in profits I had already earned and was owed.One week later (April 7th) I get an email out of nowhere saying TradeXMastery is "merging" with GOAT Funded Trader. No warning. No heads up. No option to opt out or get a refund before it happened.
Then on April 8th I get a "Welcome to GOAT Funded Trader" email telling me my $161 towards a $25k funded account has been replaced with a $100k "Pay Later" challenge account. A product I never bought, never agreed to, and one that will cost me hundreds more in fees just to continue if I actually pass it. The account I paid for? Gone.
My $427.25 payout request has been sitting since March 31st. On April 17th, GOAT Funded Trader emailed me saying my "payout is safe" and I'd receive a detailed follow-up soon. It is now May 1st. No follow-up. No payout. And they have stopped responding to my emails entirely.
• $427.25 – Earned profits, still unpaid after 31 days
• $161.00 – Account purchase, lost due to merger I never knew was happening or consented to, no refund offered
• Total: $588.25
TradeX exclusively used crypto payments (Ethereum) and hide behind an "all sales final" policy. No chargebacks. No disputes. That's not a coincidence, that's by design.
Do your research before funding ANY prop firm. This is exactly why.
