TradingView plug-in works perfectly
Spent a week reading the trailing drawdown explanation and once it clicked, risk management actually became simpler.
Spent a week reading the trailing drawdown explanation and once it clicked, risk management actually became simpler.
Rules documentation is a 14-page PDF, not a vibe, and every edge case I asked about was already in there.
Platform froze at FOMC for seven minutes and my stop never triggered, which pushed me past the daily loss limit by a hair.
Hidden rule killed my funded account when they decided copy trading between my own two funded accounts was unauthorized.
Spreads doubled at every scheduled release, turning what should have been a 2 pip trade into a 5 pip trade with no recourse.
Journal export from their portal to CSV meant I could run my own stats without rebuilding anything.
Profit split was quietly reduced from 90 percent to 80 percent for new payouts and the policy update was only on their blog. EA was flagged as a prohibited strategy with no warning, despite me having submitted the backtest during the funded onboarding.
Rules clear enough but the execution lagged during a volatile ECB week where my orders filled a full pip off TradingView. Rules on EA usage are clear but the review takes a week, which is painful if you want to start on a Monday. Scaling targets are moving goalposts in the sense that the next tier requirements change based on your current size, not posted up front.
Second phase blew by in three sessions once I accepted their lot sizing rule as a sanity check.
Daily loss was calculated using floating equity down to the tick, including spreads at the exact moment of a news release. Live feed is off from TradingView by one tick at random, which is enough to trigger a stop that should not have been hit.
Weekend holds on EURUSD swings were honored every single Friday without a surprise closeout email on Monday.
Risk team let me reinstate after a FOMC breach because the simulator had misquoted the lockout window by 90 seconds. Hedging between gold and the dollar index on their platform was allowed, which fit my macro-driven approach. Hit three months of consecutive payouts and the firm sent a 5 percent bump on my split as promised.
Risk team gave me a 10 minute call to explain why a weekend hold was risky even though technically allowed. After two failed attempts elsewhere, their 25k evaluation finally felt winnable without stunt-sized risk.
Spreads differ noticeably from the simulator version used during the evaluation; my scalping edge did not survive onto the funded.
Nothing on the funded account matches the sales page, from the stated commissions to the actual time it takes to reach a human. Phase one is practically unreachable with their spreads on majors, which are 1.3 pips at the London open versus the 0.6 their marketing shows.
Added a 50k account on top of my existing 100k with no requirement to pass another evaluation first.
Portal supports two-factor auth but the backup codes system is clunky and I locked myself out for a day during a payout.
Fills were missing on my evaluation account for an entire session and the firm said the dropped orders were my local connectivity.
Portal shows pending payouts clearly but gives no estimated delivery window, so you refresh the page a lot.
Scaling to 200k came with a letter from the risk team outlining what to avoid in the next cycle.
Payout invoice generated automatically for my LLC with the right business address pulled from KYC. Challenge pricing at $179 for the 50k felt fair when I compared it against three competitors I had already failed.
Second attempt finally funded after I slowed down and treated the phase one target as a soft number. Weekly consistency reports from the risk team actually helped me tighten my position sizing on NQ. Trailing drawdown stopped at my initial balance plus 10 percent, exactly as the contract described, so I knew where I stood.
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. Payout processor rejected my bank with no explanation and they offered no alternative beyond trying the same bank again next cycle. Payout denied on a technicality about not having two trading days with at least one trade each inside the payout window.
Daily drawdown resets at exactly 5pm NY time and does not sneak forward on daylight savings weekends. Risk desk sent me a short loom video on why my hedge was flagged and how to structure it next time.
Instant funding tier at 10k let me skip the two-phase evaluation and start trading futures the same evening.
Payout number four arrived two hours after I requested it, and the 90 percent split showed clearly on the statement. Consistency rule capped my best day at 35 percent of total profit and honestly it kept me from blowing up twice.
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. Scaling plan is marketing fiction; after my second payout they added a six-month holding requirement that was not posted anywhere.
Firm respects their own posted rules which sounds trivial until you have been burned by one that did not.
Phase one was clean, phase two was clean, and the funded account was live before the end of that same week.
Lot sizing cap was tied to a percent of balance, not a fixed number, which actually scales with the account. Finally a prop firm where the risk team explains what you did wrong instead of just closing the account. Risk desk emailed me a chart showing exactly where my trailing drawdown stood, which I have not seen anywhere else.
Payout denominated in USDC meant I did not lose four days to a wire bouncing through a correspondent bank. Scaling to 200k came with a letter from the risk team outlining what to avoid in the next cycle. Added a 50k account on top of my existing 100k with no requirement to pass another evaluation first.
Weekly payouts land every Thursday and I have not had to chase a single one for status updates. Add-on balance of 25k was credited the day after I requested it with the scaling fee I expected.
Journal integration syncs trades to a Notion template they publish, which saved me a weekend of plumbing. Objective targets on both phases, no mystery metrics, no sudden consistency checks after I had already passed.
Scaling from a 25k account to a 100k allocation after three green months felt earned, not promotional. Risk team let me reinstate after a FOMC breach because the simulator had misquoted the lockout window by 90 seconds. Clear escalation path on their support page meant my rule breach appeal reached a senior reviewer the same day.
Payout cycles can be requested every 14 days, which fit my strategy of swing holding through macro events rather than overnight scalping. Phase one took four days on their 100k challenge using ES contracts and I kept risk at 0.5 percent per trade.
EA was flagged as a prohibited strategy with no warning, despite me having submitted the backtest during the funded onboarding. KYC was stuck for three weeks because my passport photo had a glare, and support kept sending the same automated reply.
Three month payout streak intact and the firm added a new 500k tier that I actually qualify for. Reset of the evaluation after a bad day was processed in under three hours with the same account and the same promo code. Objective targets on both phases, no mystery metrics, no sudden consistency checks after I had already passed.
Scaling plan is marketing fiction; after my second payout they added a six-month holding requirement that was not posted anywhere. Fills were missing on my evaluation account for an entire session and the firm said the dropped orders were my local connectivity. Suspended for a copy trading disclosure after I truthfully answered a question about whether I run a signal service on the side.
Account was breached by a stale quote on a weekend gap that the risk team acknowledged was abnormal but refused to reverse.
Rules are buried in footnotes and a separate operations manual you can only find linked inside the funded account dashboard.
Running a copy trading mirror between my personal and funded accounts was approved after a short compliance call.

Live feed is off from TradingView by one tick at random, which is enough to trigger a stop that should not have been hit. Rules are buried in footnotes and a separate operations manual you can only find linked inside the funded account dashboard.
Weekly consistency reports from the risk team actually helped me tighten my position sizing on NQ. Reasonable 10 percent profit target on the swing version made the lower drawdown feel like a tradeoff worth taking. Consistency rule capped my best day at 35 percent of total profit and honestly it kept me from blowing up twice.
Minimum trading days moved up from three to five after I had already structured my strategy around the posted number. After requesting a payout of just over $5000 they sent an additional KYC request for a notarized document that cost me $85 to obtain.
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.
Payout invoice went unanswered for 11 days after I provided the matching business details requested during KYC.
Platform fine for discretionary trading, but the journal integration misses copy-trade entries, which skews my stats. Fine for low-frequency swing trading but the latency on the proprietary platform is noticeable during the first minute of the NY cash open.
After blowing one challenge on an EA I did not fully test, their 30 percent reset discount got me funded on attempt two. Verification call was 12 minutes with a human who actually understood what a prop account is.
Trailing drawdown took me a week to properly understand because the documentation uses a different formula than the dashboard.
