Fine firm, nothing special
A reasonable instant funding option at the 25k tier, except the profit target is 10 percent instead of the standard 8 percent on evaluation accounts.

Rules on consistency were applied inconsistently to me and three friends on the same firm with the same strategy and different outcomes. Risk desk ignored my three appeals on a weekend hold that was explicitly allowed in the version of the rules I signed up under.
Fills were missing on my evaluation account for an entire session and the firm said the dropped orders were my local connectivity. Profit split was quietly reduced from 90 percent to 80 percent for new payouts and the policy update was only on their blog.
Challenge support of 24 hour live chat actually answered a question about trailing drawdown math at 2am before the Tokyo open. Challenge pricing at $179 for the 50k felt fair when I compared it against three competitors I had already failed. Passed the 50k evaluation in six trading days using NQ scalps and the payout landed in my wallet within 48 hours.
Daily loss was calculated using floating equity down to the tick, including spreads at the exact moment of a news release. Payout processor rejected my bank with no explanation and they offered no alternative beyond trying the same bank again next cycle.
Risk desk ignored my three appeals on a weekend hold that was explicitly allowed in the version of the rules I signed up under.
Found a firm that calculates trailing drawdown on closed equity instead of floating equity, which fits my style. Scaling to 200k came with a letter from the risk team outlining what to avoid in the next cycle.
Scaled to a 400k allocation after six months, and the fee rebate for consistent payouts was quietly applied. Spent a week reading the trailing drawdown explanation and once it clicked, risk management actually became simpler.
News trading rules are written in a single paragraph on their site, not scattered across six FAQ pages like elsewhere.
Payout invoice went unanswered for 11 days after I provided the matching business details requested during KYC. Spreads differ noticeably from the simulator version used during the evaluation; my scalping edge did not survive onto the funded. Account was closed one week after I passed phase two, with an email saying I had violated an undisclosed internal risk metric.
Daily drawdown resets at exactly 5pm NY time and does not sneak forward on daylight savings weekends. Payout cycles can be requested every 14 days, which fit my strategy of swing holding through macro events rather than overnight scalping.
Found a firm where the daily loss limit is calculated on closed equity only, which fits a trend-following swing style perfectly. 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.
News trading violation was never explained beyond a one-line notice; I was in the position 20 minutes before the release. Fills were missing on my evaluation account for an entire session and the firm said the dropped orders were my local connectivity.
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. Hedge rule triggered a soft breach when I was not even hedging; I had two uncorrelated positions on different symbols.
Allowed overnight gold holds through CPI week provided I kept size below the news-trading cap, which was clear. Payout denominated in USDC meant I did not lose four days to a wire bouncing through a correspondent bank. Smooth evaluation, smooth funding, smooth payouts across three cycles with the same account manager replying.

Nothing on the funded account matches the sales page, from the stated commissions to the actual time it takes to reach a human.
Challenge pricing at $179 for the 50k felt fair when I compared it against three competitors I had already failed. Allowed hedging between correlated futures contracts after a short call explaining what my mean reversion book looks like.
Profit split was quietly reduced from 90 percent to 80 percent for new payouts and the policy update was only on their blog. 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.
Platform froze at FOMC for seven minutes and my stop never triggered, which pushed me past the daily loss limit by a hair.
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.
Finally hit a payout cycle where the processing time matched the time quoted in the contract. Challenge support of 24 hour live chat actually answered a question about trailing drawdown math at 2am before the Tokyo open.
Dashboard goes down for maintenance during random overnight sessions, usually right when the Tokyo open volatility picks up. Trailing drawdown killed my funded account at 2am when an Asian spike hit floating equity for 90 seconds and the dashboard never showed it. Payout denied on a technicality about not having two trading days with at least one trade each inside the payout window.
Consistency rule capped my best day at 35 percent of total profit and honestly it kept me from blowing up twice.
Rules are buried in footnotes and a separate operations manual you can only find linked inside the funded account dashboard.
Scaling plan is clear on paper, but in practice the firm adds a verification trade requirement that is not mentioned up front. Challenge pacing felt rushed on the 30-day version and I would have preferred the unlimited time option they advertise elsewhere.
KYC was stuck for three weeks because my passport photo had a glare, and support kept sending the same automated reply.
Profit target was hit comfortably with a mean reversion strategy on EURUSD during the New York session.
Rules documentation is a 14-page PDF, not a vibe, and every edge case I asked about was already in there.
Scaling to 200k came with a letter from the risk team outlining what to avoid in the next cycle. Reasonable commission schedule on micro NQ at 50 cents per side meant I could actually scalp the 10 point moves profitably.
Rules clear enough but the execution lagged during a volatile ECB week where my orders filled a full pip off TradingView. Fast challenge pass but a slow payout cycle that ended up at nine business days for my first withdrawal.
Platform latency during the first minute of the cash open cost me my funded account on a trade that would have been profitable at my broker. Support chat is bots only, and getting a human requires emailing a specific inbox that answers in two to five business days.
Allowed news trading on majors as long as I was already in the position before the release window. Finally a prop firm where the risk team explains what you did wrong instead of just closing the account.

Reasonable commission schedule on micro NQ at 50 cents per side meant I could actually scalp the 10 point moves profitably.
Risk desk closed my account over a swap charge on a Thursday swing position that pushed drawdown by $12 for 20 seconds overnight.
Soft breach notice arrived in my inbox after a drawdown touch that my own broker and TradingView never registered on their feeds.
Minimum trading days moved up from three to five after I had already structured my strategy around the posted number.
Hit three months of consecutive payouts and the firm sent a 5 percent bump on my split as promised. Lot sizing cap was tied to a percent of balance, not a fixed number, which actually scales with the account.
Trailing drawdown stopped at my initial balance plus 10 percent, exactly as the contract described, so I knew where I stood. Weekend holds on EURUSD swings were honored every single Friday without a surprise closeout email on Monday.
Honest execution on the proprietary platform with time and sales matching what my charts showed. TradingView plug-in syncs orders without the usual two-second delay I had with another firm's bridge.
Rules changed mid-challenge when they introduced a new consistency rule and backdated it two weeks, invalidating my phase two profit. Payout invoice went unanswered for 11 days after I provided the matching business details requested during KYC.
Passed the 50k evaluation in six trading days using NQ scalps and the payout landed in my wallet within 48 hours. Objective targets on both phases, no mystery metrics, no sudden consistency checks after I had already passed.
Fine for low-frequency swing trading but the latency on the proprietary platform is noticeable during the first minute of the NY cash open. Workable platform, workable rules, but the overall feel is that you are a cost center rather than a counterparty.
Dashboard shows every tick of my drawdown live, which killed the anxiety of logging in each morning. Dashboard flagged my daily loss at 65 percent of the limit, which is a feature not a lecture.
Payout cycles can be requested every 14 days, which fit my strategy of swing holding through macro events rather than overnight scalping.
Payout processor rejected my bank with no explanation and they offered no alternative beyond trying the same bank again next cycle.
My EA was approved within one business day after I sent the backtest and the strategy description. Running a copy trading mirror between my personal and funded accounts was approved after a short compliance call. Payout denominated in USDC meant I did not lose four days to a wire bouncing through a correspondent bank.
Payout processor options are limited to wire or stablecoin and the wire fee of $35 bites small withdrawals noticeably.
