Real talk

What traders actually experience beyond the marketing copy.

Overall

Most plan variety. Static drawdown is unique and valuable. Fast Track at $75 is cheapest entry anywhere. But: $87/mo funded fee, 10-second hold time, $25K total sim cap, and the complexity of 6 plan types can be confusing.

Drawdown reality

6 plan types give real flexibility. Static drawdown (floor never moves) is genuinely unique. 1-Step intraday trailing is harsh. EOD is more forgiving but adds DLL. Safety Net locks drawdown once you profit enough.

Payout reality

100% on first $12.5K is generous. But $87/mo funded fee eats into profits. $25K total sim cap means you transition to live ($2K-$5K starting capital) relatively quickly. 10-second hold rule is enforced.

Watch out for

$87/mo funded fee (one of few firms charging monthly). 10-second minimum hold on ALL trades. $25K total sim payout cap. Fast Track has NO resets and 14-day time limit. After 20% profit growth, losing 35% triggers disqualification.

Overall

Reliable, no-drama firm. 100% first $10K, no monthly fees, no activation fee. But: strictest consistency in the industry, Rithmic only (no Tradovate), 10-sec hold, no trading 3:15-5 PM CT, news restricted on funded.

Drawdown reality

Trailing drawdown that locks at starting balance is good. No DLL is a plus. But drawdown is only 3.5% on $100K ($3,500) - tighter than many competitors.

Payout reality

100% on first $10K is solid. No monthly funded fees. Weekly payouts. $0 activation. But the strict consistency rule means many traders can't get funded despite hitting the profit target.

Watch out for

Strictest consistency rule in the industry. Rithmic only - no Tradovate. News restricted on funded (1 min buffer). No trading 3:15-5 PM CT. 10-second minimum hold. Must maintain 50% of eval volume weekly when funded.
