Good headline score but substantial recent payout-related complaints; Prop Firm Match currently lists QT Funded as delisted
Attractive Low-Target Prop Firm with Excellent Headline Rules but Extremely High Current Payout Risk
QT Funded, operated by Quant Tekel, offers a very competitive rule structure on paper. Its current QT ONE programme has a 6% target, 3% trailing daily drawdown, 6% static maximum drawdown, 70% starting profit split and a 4-day payout cycle. QT TWO uses an 8% Phase 1 target followed by 5% Phase 2, 4% daily drawdown, 8% maximum drawdown and an 80% split with a 14-day payout cycle. QT INSTANT has no evaluation target, a 6% trailing maximum drawdown, 100% advertised profit split and a 4-day payout cycle, although it carries a 30% consistency requirement and additional withdrawal conditions. QT POWER currently offers a 6% target, 8% maximum drawdown and 80% profit split. The official site states that QT has served more than 120,000 traders and paid more than $17M, and it offers MT5 and TradeLocker. Bangladesh is not on the current restricted-country list. However, the main concern is payout reliability. The current Trustpilot score is 3.9/5 from approximately 13,000 reviews, but recent reviews contain repeated complaints about payouts being delayed for weeks or months, risk interviews, payout rejection and account termination. Reddit discussions show a similar pattern, including traders reporting pending payouts and disputed breaches. QTs own support documentation confirms that a risk interview can be required and that failure to attend a scheduled interview results in forfeiture of the payout. Prop Firm Match currently identifies QT Funded as a delisted prop firm. These reports are customer allegations and are not independently proven in every case, but their frequency and recency justify a Very High hidden-risk rating. For a trader choosing a firm today, I would not recommend QT Funded despite its attractive headline rules and Trustpilot score.
