So, I had a trader trading my account through this company (Atlasfxmarkets.com; License number: 17901) and I made quite a bit (25,710), when time for the payout, I was informed through email from atlas that I had to pay a semi-annual brokerage fee that would pay for my next 6 months of withdrawals. The fee was 2,500. I paid that. Then I had to pay the trader his 15% commission. After he confirmed that all payments had been sent, I received an email telling me the funds were being released.
