Real talk
What traders actually experience beyond the marketing copy.
Large, well-funded firm (backed by a regulated broker). Strong for forex; futures is a separate product line.
Trailing DD until initial balance is reached, then locks. This is more forgiving than pure trailing.
80/20 first, then 90/10 scaling is solid. 14-day payouts are fine but slower than some competitors.
For futures, use FundedNext Futures (separate entry). Base FundedNext is forex-first. Data preliminary — verify on site.
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.
