Real talk
What traders actually experience beyond the marketing copy.
Good for automation/bot traders (allowed on all accounts). 91% off promos make it dirt cheap. Two option types give flexibility. But: copy trading prohibited, high activation fees, no resets, monthly pricing is expensive without promos.
Option 1 and 2 have SAME dollar drawdown but completely different mechanics. Opt1 intraday trailing = floor moves up with unrealized P&L tick by tick. Opt2 EOD trailing = only updates at session close. Know which you're buying.
100% on first $10K is competitive. First 3 payouts are capped ($1K-$2.5K). After 3rd payout: unlimited. $78 mid-cycle reset available. Free reset on billing renewal date. Activation fees are high ($98-$898).
Copy trading PROHIBITED. No resets. High activation fees ($98-$898). Opt1 intraday trailing is unforgiving. Monthly pricing is expensive without promos. Max 11 active funded accounts.
Clean rules with no DLL and no funded consistency. But the PRO drawdown switch to intraday, 80/20 split, expensive PRO resets, and 60-day early withdrawal penalty are significant hidden costs. PRO+ is the goal but requires invitation.
CRITICAL: Drawdown switches from EOD (Test) to INTRADAY (PRO). This is the #1 reason funded traders blow accounts. PRO+ goes back to EOD but requires invitation after ~$5K in PRO profits.
Buffer system means your first $2K-$4.5K of profit is locked. 80/20 on PRO is below standard. Early withdrawal penalty: only 50% payout if account terminates within 60 trading days. PRO resets are EXPENSIVE ($399-$1,299).
PRO drawdown switches to INTRADAY trailing (biggest trap). 80/20 split on PRO. Early withdrawal penalty (50% if <60 days). PRO resets cost $399-$1,299. News restricted on funded (1 min buffer FOMC/NFP). Automated trading prohibited.
