Two Calculations. One Is Wrong.
The system reported my daily loss as 3.02%. That's only true if you divide by $100,000. But my daily start balance was $108,428.94 — visible on their own dashboard. The real number is 2.79%.
⚡ The Bottom Line
My loss was $232.76 under the actual 3% limit. The account was failed because the system used the wrong denominator — the initial $100K deposit instead of my $108,428.94 daily start balance. This isn't an edge case. It's a math error.
The Funded Room's Own Daily Loss Rule
This is The Funded Room's published rule for Instant Funded accounts. Read the highlighted parts:
"Your daily loss cannot exceed 3% of your daily start balance (including any unrealized PnL) at 2 AM UTC during the funded phase. The daily limit recalculates from the 2 AM UTC balance each day — so if you profit on Day 1, your Day 2 limit is 3% of your higher Day 2 start balance, not your initial deposit."
Three words: "not your initial deposit." That's their rule. Their system broke their own rule.

TFR Responded. The Response Doesn't Hold Up.
After making this case public, The Funded Room finally responded. Here's their reply, followed by the mathematical proof showing why their explanation is impossible.
"We understand your concern regarding the daily loss limit and dashboard values. Please note that the daily loss limit is calculated based on your daily starting balance, and the system monitors your equity in real-time, which includes both closed and floating (unrealized) PnL.
The value shown on the dashboard represents the remaining allowable loss at that moment, not the total daily limit. As your trades move in profit or loss, this value updates dynamically based on your current equity.
In some cases, due to floating PnL and spread fluctuations, your equity may briefly exceed the allowed loss limit during an active trade. If this happens even momentarily, the system will automatically mark the account as breached. This is why there can be a difference between the final closed loss and the breach trigger point.
We recommend maintaining a safe buffer from the maximum loss limit, especially during volatile market conditions, to avoid such situations."
The "floating equity" defense is mathematically impossible for this trade. Here's the proof using TFR's own price data.
The Trade That Triggered the "Breach"
| TIME (UTC) | ACTION | PRICE | VOLUME | STATUS |
| 17:48:16.457 | SELL XAU/USD (entry) | 4836.44 | 0.500 | filled |
| 18:08:08.066 | BUY XAU/USD (stop loss) | 4840.11 | 0.500 | filled (breach) |
Loss on this trade: (4840.11 − 4836.44) × 50 oz = $183.50. This was a clean stop loss execution — not a runaway position.
The Math That Destroys Their Defense
⚡ The Mathematical Impossibility
For a 3% floating breach to have occurred, XAU/USD would have needed to spike to 4844.77 or higher during the trade. TFR's own platform chart shows the 5-minute candle high was only 4842.96 — that's $1.81 below the breach threshold. The breach is not just unsupported by the data. It is mathematically impossible.
Verified Against TFR's Own Chart
Screenshot from the TFR trading platform itself, showing the 5-minute candle for 18:05–18:10 UTC on April 14, 2026:
The "floating equity exceeded the limit" explanation cannot be true. The math doesn't permit it. Account #88631 should be reinstated immediately.
"Dear Sachin, After reviewing your account, we can confirm that your account has been failed due to a breach of the daily loss limit, as per our trading rules."
"Please note that once the daily loss limit is exceeded, the account is automatically marked as failed. As per our policy, we are unable to reactivate, refund, or reissue a new account in such cases."
"We recommend carefully managing risk and reviewing the trading rules before starting a new challenge."
"Trading days are calculated based on 2:00 AM to 2:00 AM (UTC). This may appear differently in your local time zone (for example, 7:30 AM to 7:30 AM in IST)."
"Your trade history is displayed in your local time zone, not in UTC. Because of this, calculating your trades directly using UTC timing from the trade history may lead to incorrect conclusions."
"We recommend that you first convert the 2:00 AM to 2:00 AM (UTC) window into your local time zone, and then review your trades within that specific time range."
Daily reset: 2:00 AM UTC = 7:30 AM IST
Daily window: 7:30 AM IST (April 14) → 7:30 AM IST (April 15)
My first trade: 10:00 AM IST | My last trade: 11:38 PM IST
All 27 trades fall between 10:00 AM and 11:38 PM IST — entirely within the same daily window. There is no timezone confusion. There are no trades crossing over from the previous day.
🚩 Three Agents. Three Excuses. Zero Math.
Agent 1 — Alex: Claimed "floating equity briefly exceeded the limit" → Disproven. TFR's own candle data shows the 5-min high was 4842.96. A breach would require 4844.77+. Mathematically impossible.
Agent 2 — Ash: Said "as per our policy, we are unable to reactivate" → Zero engagement with any of the math, candle data, or trade log sent.
Agent 3 — Nick: Suggested timezone miscalculation → All 27 trades fall within the same 7:30 AM – 7:30 AM IST daily window. No overlap. No confusion.
Not one of the three agents answered the only question that matters: what denominator did the system use?
If it was $108,428.94 (daily start balance) → loss is 2.79%. No breach.
If it was $100,000 (initial deposit) → the system violated TFR's own published rule.
They won't answer because both answers prove the account was wrongly failed.

📋 The Complete Evidence Summary
Emails sent to TFR: 4+ — with full math, trade logs, candle data, floating equity analysis, timezone verification
Replies from TFR: 3 — from three different agents (Alex, Ash, Nick), each with a different excuse
Evidence provided by TFR: 0 — no breach timestamp, no equity value, no denominator answer
Realized loss: $3,020.11 = 2.79% of daily start balance ✅ Under 3%
Peak floating loss: $3,162.61 = 2.917% of daily start balance ✅ Under 3%
Price needed for breach: XAU/USD 4844.77 — Actual candle high: 4842.96 ❌ Never reached
Their error message: "verified from order history" — but order history shows 2.79%
The 3.02% figure: Only possible by dividing by $100,000 instead of $108,428.94
Conclusion: The breach is mathematically impossible by every metric. The account should be reinstated.

About The Funded Room Reviews
This page serves as an independent, evidence-based review of The Funded Room (TFR), a proprietary trading firm operated by Xybit Inc. and founded by Mayank Raj. The Funded Room offers instant funded accounts, one-step evaluations, and two-step evaluations with account sizes up to $100,000 and an 80% profit split.
This review documents a specific dispute involving Account #88631, where The Funded Room's system incorrectly calculated the daily loss percentage during the funded phase. The platform's own rules state that the 3% daily loss limit is calculated from the daily start balance — not the initial deposit. Despite this, the system used the initial $100,000 deposit as the denominator, producing an incorrect 3.02% figure instead of the actual 2.79%.
This is not an isolated complaint. Multiple traders have reported similar issues with The Funded Room, including incorrect daily loss resets, unfair toxic trading flags, payout delays, hidden rules, and unresponsive customer support. Traders researching TFR reviews, Funded Room complaints, or whether The Funded Room is legitimate should review the evidence presented here and the community-submitted complaints before making a purchase decision.
If you are a trader who has experienced calculation errors, unfair account breaches, or ignored disputes with The Funded Room, you can submit your complaint on this page to help build a public record of these issues.
