Introduction
This Forexive review examines a simulated-account prop firm that sells trading challenges from a London address. Its operator, Forexive Ltd, was incorporated in England on 28 May 2024 under the name HF Global Solutions Ltd, according to a Companies House extract reported by The Industry Spread. Forexive runs demo accounts only, and it is not a regulated broker.
Will Forexive pay you when you profit, or could its rules block your withdrawal? The evidence is mixed. Forexive publishes reward certificates and promises 24-hour processing, but no audited payout data exists. Several rules can strip profit, and Trustpilot has withheld the firm’s rating. Under TraderVerified’s five-factor prop intelligence methodology, Forexive scores 48.8 out of 100. That places it in the Bronze Standard band.
Research type: independent desk-based investigation, completed 7 November 2026. No firsthand account testing was performed.
Capital Architecture & Legal Framework
Is Forexive Legit?
Forexive is a simulation-only business registered in England, not a licensed broker or a source of real trading capital. The company’s own site says it provides “demo accounts with fictitious funds for simulated trading only.”
The Industry Spread reports that the register shows an active company registered at 86–90 Paul Street, London EC2A 4NE. The same report lists Hooman Abbasi as sole director and gives an education-sector business code, not a financial one. Trustpilot shows the same address, and Mr. Abbasi signs the firm’s review replies. I could not open the register directly, so these details rest on that report.
Forexive’s terms add a gap. The Industry Spread quotes clause 7 as saying a successful trader “may be offered a contract by a third-party company.” It adds that the third party is never named. The same report says the terms contain no governing-law clause. I could not retrieve the terms myself, so treat these points as reported, not confirmed.
Other transparency gaps stand out:
- The Industry Spread says the About page repeats the founding story of a Prague firm, FTMO, with brand names swapped. It also notes a Czech phone number and a 2015 origin claim against a 2024 incorporation.
- The same outlet says site code points to a third-party white-label vendor. That is an inference, not a disclosure by Forexive.
- Forexive names no broker, liquidity provider, or bridge partner.
Every challenge runs on “Platform 5.” The help centre says this is MetaTrader 5, per The Industry Spread. cTrader and Match-Trade are listed as “coming soon.” Payment is by card or crypto. Withdrawals go by bank transfer, crypto, or Rise. I found no verified list of restricted countries.
The evidence does not show where payouts come from. It would be wrong to assume challenge fees fund them, and equally wrong to assume they do not.
Account Tiers & Challenge Ecosystem
Forexive Review: Account Tiers & Challenge Cost
Forexive sells four models, and its flagship $100,000 2-Step account costs $299 one time. That price is before add-ons and before a 20% first-purchase code (JOIN20) shown on the site.
| Model | Entry price | Sizes | Evaluation | Funded limits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Access (1-Step) | $5–$10 entry, plus activation fee | $5K–$200K | 3% target; 5% daily, 10% max | 3% daily, 6% max |
| 1-Step | From $39 | $5K–$200K | 10% target; 3% daily, 6% max | 3% daily, 6% max |
| 2-Step | From $29 | $5K–$200K | 8% then 4%; 5% daily, 12% max | 5% daily, 12% max |
| Instant | From $15 | $1K–$10K | None | 2% daily, 3% max |
The Access entry fee appears as $5 on some pages and $10 on others. A $10,000 account costs $59 on 1-Step and $49 on 2-Step.
Optional add-ons cost extra: 100% Reward (+25%), On-Demand Reward (+10%), Double Up (+35%), and Free Reset (+40%). The help centre says the fee returns with the first reward, plus 20%, on 1-Step and 2-Step. Access refunds the fee with the third reward. Instant fees are not refundable.
The trade-offs are practical. Access is cheapest to try but puts you in a news rule that some traders say they missed. The 1-Step has the tightest loss limits. The 2-Step gives the most room, with a 12% maximum loss. Instant skips the evaluation, but its limits are the narrowest.
Scaling. Forexive says accounts grow 40% every three months, up to $2 million. A trader needs 8% profit in the cycle and a profitable last cycle. The help centre also caps total allocation at $400,000 across accounts, which conflicts with the $2 million figure. All amounts are simulated.
Peer benchmark. FTMO’s $100,000 2-Step base price is €540 as of a 12 August 2026 check. It carries 10% and 5% targets, a 5% daily limit, and a 10% static maximum loss. The5ers’ $100,000 plan is described as similar in cost. This two-firm sample is small, and the currencies differ. Even so, Forexive’s sticker price is lower and its drawdown room is wider.
Evaluation Rules & Fine Print
Forexive Rules & Fine Print
Forexive publishes static loss limits Static, but several conduct rules decide whether profit survives. On a funded account, the help centre says that once any rule is broken, you cannot withdraw or request a reward on your profits.
Key rules from the help centre:
- Floating risk: open trades may never show an unrealised loss of 3% or more on 1-Step, 2-Step, and Access. Breaching it counts as a violation even if the trade recovers.
- Weekend trading: you cannot open or close trades from Saturday 00:00 to Sunday 23:59 broker time. You may hold trades through the weekend.
- News: no restriction during evaluation. On funded accounts, profit from a trade closed within five minutes of high-impact news is deducted from rewards. Instant accounts may not trade that window at all.
- Prohibited strategies: high-frequency and latency trading, arbitrage, gap trading, reverse trading, one-sided betting, and hedging across accounts. For tick scalping, no more than 20% of trades may close within one minute.
- EAs and copying: EAs are allowed only as trade or risk managers. Copy trading works only between your own accounts.
- Inactivity: 15 days without a trade fails the account.
- Minimum days: seven days before a first funded reward.
Three inconsistencies deserve attention. First, Forexive’s own rules page listed news, weekend, and prohibited-strategy rules as “to be confirmed” in its 1 October 2026 review. Second, a third-party review says daily drawdown uses the higher of balance or equity, which sits uneasily with Forexive’s “balance-based” claim. Third, traders and a company reply cite a “stacking rule,” but I found no published text for it.
Progression is also manual. After passing, traders email support and wait for credentials, and identity checks can take up to 72 hours.
Payout Reliability & Reputation
Forexive Payout Reliability & Trader Reputation
The homepage claims $3.2M+ in rewards and 35K+ traders, but it shows only six published reward records. They total $1,054.11 between 10 August and 14 October 2026, and the largest is $712.35. The company itself says these are “individual results, not a typical outcome.” The Industry Spread found no audited payout data or ledger.
Trustpilot shows 110 reviews: 63% five-star and 27% one-star. It displays no rating, citing a breach of its guidelines, and says it removed fake reviews. Many five-star reviews are short and share near-identical replies. Others are credible, such as traders reporting passed phases and funded accounts.
Recurring complaints include:
- Payout denied after a failed identity check on a funded account.
- No funded account issued after passing 2-Step Pro.
- An account disabled for a news trade that the trader says support had cleared.
- Slow replies on a platform order issue.
Forexive replied to one 1-Star reviewer that four accounts breached the stacking, daily drawdown, and floating-risk rules. That response is a company claim and cannot be checked here.
Prop Firm Match lists Forexive as unlisted and unverified. TheTrustedProp gives it 60/100. One affiliate review site discloses affiliate links and warns about the Trustpilot notice. These complaints do not prove misconduct, and complaints alone do not prove unreliability. The available evidence points to material uncertainty, not substantiated fraud.
Strengths & Weaknesses

- Fee refund of 120% on 1-Step and 2-Step
- News trading allowed during evaluation
- Company replies to public complaints
- Raw spreads from 0.0 pips and $3 per lot commission
Weaknesses
- No audited payout data; six published records worth $1,054.11
- Funded-stage rules can remove profit or block withdrawals
- Terms reportedly disclaim the funded stage
- Trustpilot rating withheld; fake reviews removed
- Rules page, help centre, and terms conflict in places
- Manual progression; no disclosed broker or liquidity partner
Verdict
Forexive scores 48.8 out of 100, a Bronze Standard rating, because payout proof is thin and funded-stage rules carry real risk. The score comes from the evidence above, not from assumptions.
Best suited to: budget-minded traders who read the help centre, trade within the 3% floating limit, and treat the fee as the cost of a simulation. Poorly suited to: traders who rely on news trading, scalping, or cross-account hedging, and anyone expecting regulated protection. Key unresolved risks: payout verification, the third-party funding clause, the unpublished stacking rule, and the identity of the capital provider. Against FTMO and The5ers, Forexive is cheaper but far less proven.
FAQ
Forexive Ltd is an active English company, per Companies House data reported by The Industry Spread. It is not financially regulated, and its payout record is unverified. Treat it as a real business with unproven reliability.
Forexive publishes six reward records totalling $1,054.11 and some traders report payouts. Others report denials tied to rule breaches or failed identity checks. No independent audit exists.
Prices start from $15 for Instant, $29 for 2-Step, and $39 for 1-Step. A $100K 2-Step account costs $299. Add-ons raise the total.
Limits are static, with a 3% floating-risk cap and a weekend trading ban. Funded news profits are deducted, and several strategies are prohibited. Any funded-stage rule break can block withdrawals.
On 1-Step and 2-Step, the fee returns with your first reward plus 20%. Access refunds with the third reward, and Instant is not refundable. Reportedly, the terms say otherwise, so confirm before paying.
Staff Insight
Staff Insight
This is an independent desk-based editorial assessment. It does not reflect firsthand testing, interviews, or platform measurements.
Entity transparency: The registered entity is traceable, but the founding narrative and the third-party contract clause raise questions that the firm has not answered publicly.
Marketing versus terms: The homepage advertises up to 100% splits and 24-hour processing. The help centre ties 100% to a paid add-on, and the 1-Step split starts at 80%.
Conflicts of interest: Forexive sells evaluations and earns when traders fail. Its refund and add-on structure makes that incentive worth noting, though it is common in the sector.
Dispute handling: Public replies exist and sometimes explain breaches. Evidence of independent dispute resolution is absent.
Composite Score & Matrix
Composite Score Calculation
| Methodology Dimension | Weight | Raw Score / 100 | Weighted Points | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Payout Reliability & Proof | 30% | 40 | 12.00 | |
| Rule Transparency & Capital Safeguards | 25% | 50 | 12.50 | |
| Pricing & Fee Structure Efficiency | 20% | 70 | 14.00 | |

| Staff Insight & Professional Judgment | 10% | 35 | 3.50 | |
| Composite Total | 100% | — | 48.75 / 100 |
Limitations: the Companies House and terms details rely on one secondary report. No execution data, payout ledger, or firsthand testing was available, so scores for payout proof and infrastructure carry wide uncertainty.
