Dashboard showed me at 2 percent daily loss when the risk team said I was at 4.9 percent, and they went with their number. Scaling was frozen without reason even though I had hit the posted targets, and I am still waiting on a response two weeks later. Challenge reset was still charged to my card after I had been told via chat that it would be waived for a verified payment issue.
Honest execution on the proprietary platform with time and sales matching what my charts showed.
Allowed news trading on majors as long as I was already in the position before the release window. Lot sizing cap was tied to a percent of balance, not a fixed number, which actually scales with the account. Objective targets on both phases, no mystery metrics, no sudden consistency checks after I had already passed.
Payout invoice generated automatically for my LLC with the right business address pulled from KYC.
After reading six prop firm comparisons I picked this one for the swing rules and have not regretted it. Simulated feed on the evaluation account matched my broker's live feed close enough that my setups still worked. Three payouts of between $2k and $7k processed without a single clarifying email on my end.
Journal export from their portal to CSV meant I could run my own stats without rebuilding anything.
After I passed phase two with an EA, they demanded a manual verification trade of a very specific setup, which is not in any rule I signed. After requesting a payout of just over $5000 they sent an additional KYC request for a notarized document that cost me $85 to obtain. Account was disabled during an active payout request and the only notice I got was a cryptic email about risk review.
Spreads during the London open are fine but widen aggressively at the New York close, which hurt a few of my late scalps. News trading window is a tight two-minute lockout, but it extends to five minutes on CPI releases without any prior notice.
Scaling was frozen without reason even though I had hit the posted targets, and I am still waiting on a response two weeks later.
Allowed EA use after a short review of my backtest, with a clear list of which parameters they cared about.
Scaling plan triggered automatically after my third payout request, so I did not have to open a ticket. Honest spreads during London open with EURUSD staying under 0.4 pips most of the window.
Payout invoice went unanswered for 11 days after I provided the matching business details requested during KYC.
Fills were missing on my evaluation account for an entire session and the firm said the dropped orders were my local connectivity. KYC was stuck for three weeks because my passport photo had a glare, and support kept sending the same automated reply. Live feed is off from TradingView by one tick at random, which is enough to trigger a stop that should not have been hit.
A slow but functional KYC process that took four business days for a straightforward US LLC with clean paperwork. KYC took five days instead of the advertised 24 hours because they wanted a utility bill I did not have in my own name.
Risk team was openly hostile over a gold trade on the day of a central bank meeting, even though gold news was not on their calendar. Nothing on the funded account matches the sales page, from the stated commissions to the actual time it takes to reach a human.
Rules on EA usage are clear but the review takes a week, which is painful if you want to start on a Monday.
Challenge discount from a legitimate affiliate was applied cleanly without me having to argue in support chat. Reasonable minimum trading days of three let me take payouts on actual market weeks instead of forcing filler trades. After reading six prop firm comparisons I picked this one for the swing rules and have not regretted it.
Phase two targets were inflated by a hidden consistency check that calculates on daily P&L rather than cumulative P&L.
Phase two was harder than described because the consistency rule is only enforced at the end, not during.
Live feed is off from TradingView by one tick at random, which is enough to trigger a stop that should not have been hit. Slippage ate my profit target on NQ during a CPI release when their simulator showed a fill at 15 and the actual fill was at 23. A completely routine daily loss touch on a Wednesday was flagged as a hard breach because of a dashboard sync delay to the risk team.
Spreads differ noticeably from the simulator version used during the evaluation; my scalping edge did not survive onto the funded. After I passed phase two with an EA, they demanded a manual verification trade of a very specific setup, which is not in any rule I signed. Trailing drawdown never stopped trailing even after I hit a 15 percent profit buffer, which is not what the contract page describes.
Suspended for a copy trading disclosure after I truthfully answered a question about whether I run a signal service on the side. Trailing drawdown never stopped trailing even after I hit a 15 percent profit buffer, which is not what the contract page describes.
Payout was cut by 25 percent without explanation beyond a vague reference to a consistency metric that is not disclosed to traders.
Trailing drawdown never stopped trailing even after I hit a 15 percent profit buffer, which is not what the contract page describes. Dashboard showed me at 2 percent daily loss when the risk team said I was at 4.9 percent, and they went with their number.
Hit three months of consecutive payouts and the firm sent a 5 percent bump on my split as promised.
Simulated feed on the evaluation account matched my broker's live feed close enough that my setups still worked. Payout denominated in USDC meant I did not lose four days to a wire bouncing through a correspondent bank.
Challenge is priced like a scam at $249 for a 50k account when competitors offer the same product for under $150. A completely routine daily loss touch on a Wednesday was flagged as a hard breach because of a dashboard sync delay to the risk team.
Allowed overnight gold holds through CPI week provided I kept size below the news-trading cap, which was clear. Trader portal shows pending payouts, cleared payouts, and the exact scaling trigger I need to hit next.
Daily loss was calculated using floating equity down to the tick, including spreads at the exact moment of a news release. Account was breached by a stale quote on a weekend gap that the risk team acknowledged was abnormal but refused to reverse.
Three payouts of between $2k and $7k processed without a single clarifying email on my end. Pro trader discount of 20 percent on the 200k evaluation was honored after I sent two prior payout statements. Reasonable 10 percent profit target on the swing version made the lower drawdown feel like a tradeoff worth taking.
Payout processor rejected my bank with no explanation and they offered no alternative beyond trying the same bank again next cycle. A random weekend overnight gap on EURJPY tripped a soft breach even though my stop was placed inside the allowed range. Daily loss was calculated using floating equity down to the tick, including spreads at the exact moment of a news release.
Support chat is bots only, and getting a human requires emailing a specific inbox that answers in two to five business days. Payout was cut by 25 percent without explanation beyond a vague reference to a consistency metric that is not disclosed to traders.
Payout denominated in USDC meant I did not lose four days to a wire bouncing through a correspondent bank. After reading six prop firm comparisons I picked this one for the swing rules and have not regretted it.
Risk desk sent me a short loom video on why my hedge was flagged and how to structure it next time. Verification call was 12 minutes with a human who actually understood what a prop account is. Account mirror feature lets me run my funded trades alongside a personal account one-to-one without a plug-in.
Added a 50k account on top of my existing 100k with no requirement to pass another evaluation first.
Weekend hold rule was enforced retroactively on a Friday EURUSD position that I had held open since Tuesday without warning. EA was flagged as a prohibited strategy with no warning, despite me having submitted the backtest during the funded onboarding. An entire payout cycle was skipped because they moved the cutoff date by 48 hours and my request landed on the wrong side of it.
Risk desk ignored my three appeals on a weekend hold that was explicitly allowed in the version of the rules I signed up under. Risk desk told me gold was a prohibited symbol only after I had opened a position, despite the firm not listing any prohibitions on the signup page.
Dashboard showed wrong equity for an entire week after a platform update, and the risk team said the dashboard was advisory. Hedge rule triggered a soft breach when I was not even hedging; I had two uncorrelated positions on different symbols.
Spreads doubled at every scheduled release, turning what should have been a 2 pip trade into a 5 pip trade with no recourse. Account was breached by a stale quote on a weekend gap that the risk team acknowledged was abnormal but refused to reverse.
Payout structure is 80 percent which is competitive, but you only move to 90 after your fifth payout, not your third as advertised in older posts. Platform fine for discretionary trading, but the journal integration misses copy-trade entries, which skews my stats.
Workable platform, workable rules, but the overall feel is that you are a cost center rather than a counterparty. Spread markup on majors is around half a pip, which is tolerable for swing but hard to overcome for scalping sub-10 pip targets. Payout processor options are limited to wire or stablecoin and the wire fee of $35 bites small withdrawals noticeably.
Second phase blew by in three sessions once I accepted their lot sizing rule as a sanity check. Reset of the evaluation after a bad day was processed in under three hours with the same account and the same promo code. Journal export from their portal to CSV meant I could run my own stats without rebuilding anything.
Pro trader discount of 20 percent on the 200k evaluation was honored after I sent two prior payout statements. Three payouts of between $2k and $7k processed without a single clarifying email on my end.
News trading violation was never explained beyond a one-line notice; I was in the position 20 minutes before the release. A pending order on gold was treated as a filled position for drawdown purposes, which is nowhere in the written risk policy. After I passed phase two with an EA, they demanded a manual verification trade of a very specific setup, which is not in any rule I signed.
Account was closed one week after I passed phase two, with an email saying I had violated an undisclosed internal risk metric. Minimum trading days moved up from three to five after I had already structured my strategy around the posted number. Weekend hold rule was enforced retroactively on a Friday EURUSD position that I had held open since Tuesday without warning.
Phase one took four days on their 100k challenge using ES contracts and I kept risk at 0.5 percent per trade. Scaling to 200k came with a letter from the risk team outlining what to avoid in the next cycle.
Dashboard shows every tick of my drawdown live, which killed the anxiety of logging in each morning. Daily drawdown resets at exactly 5pm NY time and does not sneak forward on daylight savings weekends.
Smooth evaluation, smooth funding, smooth payouts across three cycles with the same account manager replying. Firm respects their own posted rules which sounds trivial until you have been burned by one that did not. Challenge pricing at $179 for the 50k felt fair when I compared it against three competitors I had already failed.
Rules documentation is a 14-page PDF, not a vibe, and every edge case I asked about was already in there. Weekly payouts land every Thursday and I have not had to chase a single one for status updates.
Trailing drawdown killed my funded account at 2am when an Asian spike hit floating equity for 90 seconds and the dashboard never showed it.
