Real talk
What traders actually experience beyond the marketing copy.
Most restrictive firm overall. 80/20 split, $4K withdrawal cap, 30% consistency on eval, 2.2% daily loss limit, copy/automation prohibited. But: TCP free monthly resets and scaling to $400K are genuinely unique. Widest platform support. Very reputable.
EOD trailing on eval/LiveSim is fair. But Live funded switches to intraday trailing. Most traders stay on LiveSim to avoid this.
80/20 split is the worst in the industry. $4K max per withdrawal on LiveSim. Email-based process feels outdated. Live account data fees ~$140/mo per exchange make live transition expensive.
80/20 split (worst in industry). $4K max withdrawal. Copy trading PROHIBITED. Automation PROHIBITED. 2.2% daily loss limit. Live account data fees ~$140/mo. Email-based payout process.
$26/mo Entry is the cheapest way to try prop trading. $77 Express is great value for 14-day challenge. But: unrealized-P&L trailing drawdown, 30% consistency, $88/mo funded fee, 30-day first payout wait, and monthly payouts make funded accounts frustrating.
Trailing drawdown follows UNREALIZED P&L in real-time. If your trade goes +$600 unrealized then you close at +$100, the floor already moved up $600. This is worse than EOD trailing. Locks at starting balance + $100.
100% first $12.5K then 90/10 is good. But $88/mo funded fee, 30-day wait for first payout, and monthly payout schedule (last Saturday) make it the slowest payout firm in the industry.
Drawdown trails UNREALIZED P&L (worst drawdown type). $88/mo funded fee. 30% consistency (tight). 30 traded days before first payout. Monthly payouts only (slowest). Automated trading PROHIBITED. 5% flipping rule.
