Hit my TP, was about to get funded — account closed due to a trade I never placed.
I was on my final evaluation trade with ETF.
I placed a 54-lot MES Sell Limit order, and the system only filled 2 lots, while the remaining 52 lots were rejected.
The 2 filled lots went straight to Take Profit, earning me $57 profit.
If the full order had been filled, I would have passed the evaluation and become funded.
But things took a very strange turn...
About 30 minutes after the TP was hit,
a short trade appeared on my account — one that I never placed.
This trade does not exist in my Tradovate order history.
There is no order ID, no execution log, nothing.
But ETF’s platform treated it as a real trade, and registered a –$937 loss,
causing my account to be closed for breaching the trailing drawdown.
Let me be clear:
My real trade hit TP
I did not open any new position
My trading platform (Tradovate) shows no record of any trade after TP
Yet ETF shows a trade I never placed — and closed my account because of it
This is not just a technical error —
this is a critical system failure or mismanagement of trade execution logs.
I submitted all my screenshots:
TP confirmation
Order rejects
Tradovate order history
No new trades after TP
Still, support dismissed it.
I strongly recommend staying away from Elite Trader Funding.
The system is unreliable, and even if you're right, support will offer a reset instead of a real solution.
If you're looking for a firm that rewards good trading and doesn't punish you for their system's mistakes —
ETF is not the place.
