Plutus Trade Base — A $100k Account Ended by Unwritten Rules

Plutus Trade Base (plutustradebase.com) runs a ticker across its homepage: “Karen Gutierrez withdrew $9,594”, “Chiara Moreau withdrew $6,936”. Traders who passed its challenges tell a different story, of funded accounts closed on rules they say were never written down.

Plutus Trade Base: two traders, two closures

In September 2026 a trader said he passed the one-step “Lightning” evaluation and moved to a $100,000 funded stage. The account was then terminated as a “hard breach” although, he says, he followed every written rule in the terms and FAQ. When he set out his case to support, he was banned from the firm’s Discord. His complaint describes “hidden, unwritten margin rules”.

In October a second trader with a $20,000 funded account reported that a 0.02-lot buy position was closed even though its stop loss was never reached.

Who stands behind the brand

“Cyprus-licensed” suggests a CySEC licence. The legal text describes an education company with a Cyprus company number, and gives no CySEC licence number. A company number is not a financial licence.

The rotating “withdrew” ticker names people and amounts but links to no proof. A firm confident in its payouts would publish verifiable payout records, not a scrolling list of first names.

If Plutus Trade Base closed a trade or breached an account on a rule you cannot find in the terms, ask support to quote the clause and the date it was published. Save the terms page as it stands today. Hidden margin rules, as one trader called them, only work while nobody keeps a copy of what was actually written.
