Why this zone

Yellow: a simulated challenge firm that has paid traders for years. Not red: no evidence of mass non-payment. What pulls it down: Trustpilot hides its rating after a breach of its guidelines, about 150 accounts were blocked in 2024, and there are no refunds.

In short

A UK challenge firm with its own broker, ACG Markets. Trustpilot hides its rating after removing fake reviews. Payouts fell from about $60M in 2024 to about $20M in 2025, by Finance Magnates' estimate.
