## 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.

## Why isn't AuraFunded in our directory?

Propfirmbook's directory only includes firms we actively verify and track: live challenge pricing across every account size, payout terms and profit splits, complete trading rules, restricted-country lists, and current offers — checked continuously against each firm's own site. Firms outside the directory haven't been through that process, so we can't vouch for their current terms or operations.

**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.
