Real talk
What traders actually experience beyond the marketing copy.
Best drawdown room (4% Standard). Advanced plan's no-DLL + no-consistency + withdrawals-don't-reduce-drawdown is genuinely the best funded experience available. But: Standard's 70% starting split is awful, news restricted on Standard/Zero, and automation prohibited.
4% EOD drawdown on Standard is the most generous in the industry ($4K on $100K vs $3K-$3.5K everywhere else). Advanced has 3.5% but withdrawals don't reduce it (unique advantage).
Standard starts at 70% split - worst starting split in industry. Takes 5 payouts (~10 weeks) to reach 90%. Advanced starts at 90% but costs double and has 8% profit target. Zero has tight payout caps ($1.5K-$2.5K).
Standard 70% starting split (worst in industry). Micro-scalping ban (2 min / 10 ticks). HFT ban (100+ trades/day). News restricted on Standard/Zero (2 min buffer). Automation prohibited. Standard/Zero: withdrawals reduce max loss limit.
Three plans for three types of traders. Flex = budget entry. Rapid = best overall (90/10, daily payouts, no consistency). Pro = stable EOD drawdown on funded but 80/20 split and $100K payout cap. Overnight holding allowed on all.
Three very different funded experiences. Flex: EOD but resets to $100 static after first payout (tight). Rapid: switches from EOD to INTRADAY trailing when funded (catches people off guard). Pro: EOD on both eval and funded (most stable).
Rapid has daily payouts (24h cycles) - fastest alongside Lucid. Flex needs 5 winning days. Pro is every 14 days. All have $0 activation. Pro has $100K total cumulative payout cap across ALL Pro accounts.
Rapid drawdown switches from EOD to INTRADAY on funded. Pro has $100K total payout cap. Flex MLL resets to $100 static after first payout. Copy trading PROHIBITED. T1 news restricted on Rapid/Pro funded (allowed on Flex).
