MyFundedFX review

MyFundedFX became SeacrestFunded, then closed its prop desk in February 2026. What was not reported: the broker behind it has since shut down too. All three company domains are now dead or carry a closure notice.

Last verified 5 August 2026 · how we check

MyFundedFX is gone, and so is the company that absorbed it. The prop desk closed in February 2026, which was reported at the time. The part that was not reported is that Seacrest Markets, the broker it became part of, has since stopped operating as well.

If you are searching for MyFundedFX because you had an account, the useful information is below, along with the one address that still answers.

What the company’s own domains show today

Checked 5 August 2026.

The notice reads in full:

Dear Customer, We would like to inform you that Seacrest Markets is no longer operating. If you have any questions or require support, please contact us via email at support@seacrestmarkets.io, and we will do our best to assist you.

That address is the only remaining contact. There is no administrator named, no timetable, and no regulator supervising a wind-down.

The sequence, in order

2025. MyFundedFX rebranded as SeacrestFunded, aligning the prop brand with Seacrest Markets, the broker. US customers were restricted at that point.

6 February 2026. Seacrest closed its proprietary trading operations. All prop accounts and open positions were closed that day. Traders with unbreached challenge accounts could request a refund of the challenge fee, and funded traders could request a final payout, both by 28 February 2026 through the Seacrest dashboard.

The reason given was commercial rather than regulatory: the firm said it would focus entirely on its CFD brokerage. Industry coverage at the time put it in context, with challenge pass rates falling and average trader spend dropping across the sector.

22 April 2026. The broker was still trading. The archived homepage from that date describes the firm as an “FSCA Regulated Forex & CFD Broker” and links to its MetaTrader 5 installer.

Between then and August 2026. The broker stopped as well. We cannot date this more precisely: the Internet Archive holds no captures of the site after 22 April, and no announcement appears to have been published. The dashboard that clients were told to use for refunds in February belonged to a company that no longer exists.

This is the part that matters and the part nobody wrote about. Coverage of the February closure told prop traders where to claim. Nothing told the broker’s CFD clients anything at all.

This is not MyFundedFutures

Two firms, similar names, and search engines confuse them. MyFundedFutures is a different company and it is still operating. It has no connection to MyFundedFX or Seacrest Markets.

The confusion is not hypothetical: search results for MyFundedFX now surface MyFundedFutures, because the original site no longer ranks for its own name. If you are checking on an account, confirm which company you actually signed up with before you conclude that your firm is fine.

Regulatory position

We searched the FCA register directly and found no entry under this name, checked 11 August 2026. That is weaker evidence than it looks. The register lists firms the FCA has authorised and firms it has warned consumers about, and the second group is mostly firms that solicited people in the UK. One that never targeted the UK will not appear there however it behaved, so absence is not a clean record. The list also runs to thousands of entries and is updated constantly, and it is public at fca.org.uk/consumers/warning-list-unauthorised-firms.

The entity named in the notice is Seacrest Markets (PTY) Ltd, a South African corporate form, and the archived homepage claimed FSCA regulation. We could not verify that claim: the FSCA register runs on a portal that does not answer automated queries, and the firm did not publish a licence number on its homepage. So the claim is what the company said about itself, not something we confirmed.

The regional restrictions it published are worth recording, because they show who was never a client: the firm did not accept residents of the United States and its dependent territories, Canada, Iran, North Korea, Myanmar or the DR Congo.

If you had money there

Email support@seacrestmarkets.io and keep the thread. State your account identifier, the balance and the date. It is the only channel the company left open, and a dated record is what any later claim rests on.

Collect your records now. Statements, deposit confirmations, payout history, screenshots. Both the prop dashboard and the broker portal are gone, so whatever sits in your own files and old emails is what you have.

Check whether you missed the February window. Prop traders were given until 28 February 2026 to request refunds and final payouts through the dashboard. If you did not see that message, say so in writing to the address above rather than assuming the deadline settles it.

Trace how you funded the account. Card payments carry a chargeback window that has almost certainly closed for deposits made before February, but the rules differ by bank and country and asking costs nothing. Bank transfers and crypto offer no such route.

Report it where you live. The financial regulator in your country, and the police if the amounts justify it. Firms outside a supervised perimeter end up on warning lists because people report them.

Ignore anyone offering to recover the funds. Recovery scams follow closures like this one and find people through exactly the search that brought you here. An upfront fee to get your money back is a second fraud on top of the first.

The fourth closure on this site

This is not an isolated event, and the pattern across the four we have documented is consistent enough to be useful before you deposit anywhere.

Four firms, four different endings, and one thing in common: none of them appears in any register we can check. In each case the wind-down was run by the company itself, on its own timetable, with no supervisor setting deadlines and no compensation scheme behind the balances.

The difference between these and a regulated failure is not visible while withdrawals are being paid on time. It becomes the entire story on the day the firm stops.

What the domain shows

The traffic line is the quiet part. A site that answers every request with a closure notice has nothing left for a search engine to rank, so the organic traffic falls to zero while people keep typing the name from memory. Those visitors do not find the notice through search; they find it by going to the address they already knew.

Anyone who has forgotten the address, and who searches instead, currently lands on a results page that shows a different company with a similar name.

What this case shows

The February closure was orderly by the standards of this industry. Clients were told, a deadline was published, and a dashboard was open for three weeks.

Everything after that is the problem. A refund process is only as durable as the company running it, and this one outlived the company by a few months. The clients who acted inside the window were fine. Anyone who did not is now emailing an address attached to a business that has already gone.

That is the argument for treating a wind-down notice as a deadline rather than an invitation. It is also the argument for knowing, before you deposit, whether a regulator would step in if the firm stopped, because here nobody did; see the methodology.
