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 Email-based process feels outdated.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.
Newer firm with solid fundamentals. The built-in automation tools differentiate it. No DLL, EOD trailing, 90/10 split. Payout caps first 3 months are the main friction.
EOD trailing with lock at starting + $100 is standard and fair. No DLL is a plus.
Payout caps during first 3 months ($1,500-$2K) slow down early earnings. Max 2 payouts per month. 90/10 is standard.
Payout caps first 3 months. Launched 2024 - still proving itself. Pricing not fully published. 30% Apprentice consistency is tight.
