Real talk
What traders actually experience beyond the marketing copy.
Most popular futures prop firm. 100% payout split is unmatched. Constant 90% off sales make evals dirt cheap (~$30). But: automated trading PROHIBITED, PA has monthly fees ($85-105), max 6 payouts then PA closes forever. The 30-day eval window is new under 4.0.
EOD trailing is genuinely forgiving - intraday swings don't count until close. Intraday trailing is much harsher (tracks unrealized P&L tick-by-tick). Most experienced traders pick EOD. Safety net locks drawdown once you hit starting balance + drawdown + $100.
100% payout split is best in industry. BUT: PA closes forever after 6 payouts. $85-105/mo PA fee eats into profits. Payout ladder caps early withdrawals ($1K-$2.5K on first payout). After 6 payouts, buy a new eval to get a new PA.
Automated trading/bots PROHIBITED. PA has $85-105/mo fee. Max 6 payouts then PA closes permanently. No resets under 4.0. 30-day eval window (fail or expire = buy new). Inactivity rule: 2 days with $50+ profit per 30 days or PA closes.
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).
