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

Strong newer firm. 6 plan types give lots of flexibility. Elite Daily with no funded consistency is great. S2F PRO copy trading (5 accounts) is most generous in industry. Same-day payouts. But: daily loss limits on everything, 10-sec hold minimum, payout split drops to 80/20.

Drawdown reality

Most plans use EOD trailing (favorable). S2F PRO uses INTRADAY trailing (much harsher). EOD locks at starting + $100 once reached.

Payout reality

Same-day payouts via Rise. Tiered profit targets get easier (6% first, then 5%, then 4%). Split drops from 90/10 to 80/20 after $10K cumulative. S2F PRO allows copy trading across 5 accounts.

Watch out for

Overnight holding NOT allowed on any account. Daily loss limits on all plans. 10-second minimum hold. Payout split drops to 80/20 after $10K cumulative. Automated trading prohibited. 14-day inactivity = account terminated.
