The full story
AuraFunded launched in 2024 out of Dubai, selling 2-step, 1-step "HFT" and instant-funding challenges on MetaTrader 5, with instant accounts of $5,000–$200,000 and evaluations up to $500,000 at 80–95% profit splits. All funded accounts were simulated.
By mid-2026 its domain no longer resolves to the firm — it redirects to unrelated spam content — and no official closure statement was ever published. Community trackers logged multiple warnings while it operated, including trader reports of denied or unanswered payouts, one disputed over grid-trading rule interpretation. Roughly 18% of its Trustpilot reviews were 1-star, and no compensation process is documented.

A note on 'fund recovery' services: companies that contact traders of collapsed prop firms claiming they can recover lost funds are a well-documented follow-up scam. No legitimate recovery process exists outside official channels or formal insolvency proceedings.
