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 Email-based process feels outdated.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.
One-time pricing + $0 activation + no monthly fees = lowest total cost of funding. Select Daily vs Flex choice is unique. News trading fully unrestricted. Automation allowed. No resets is the main downside.
EOD trailing locks at starting balance + $100 after first payout on Flex - becomes a static floor. This is genuinely favorable. Growth and Lightning also have EOD trailing.
Two funded paths on Select is smart design. Daily path has DLL but faster payouts. Flex has no DLL but needs 5 winning days. No resets means a blown account = buy new eval.
No resets - blown account means buying a new eval. Positions must close by 4 PM CT. Select Daily has daily loss limits. Max 5 funded accounts. 1 trade/week minimum activity.
