Real talk
What traders actually experience beyond the marketing copy.
$26/mo Entry is the cheapest way to try prop trading. $77 Express is great value for 14-day challenge. But: unrealized-P&L trailing drawdown, 30% consistency, $88/mo funded fee, 30-day first payout wait, and monthly payouts make funded accounts frustrating.
Trailing drawdown follows UNREALIZED P&L in real-time. If your trade goes +$600 unrealized then you close at +$100, the floor already moved up $600. This is worse than EOD trailing. Locks at starting balance + $100.
100% first $12.5K then 90/10 is good. But $88/mo funded fee, 30-day wait for first payout, and monthly payout schedule (last Saturday) make it the slowest payout firm in the industry.
Drawdown trails UNREALIZED P&L (worst drawdown type). $88/mo funded fee. 30% consistency (tight). 30 traded days before first payout. Monthly payouts only (slowest). Automated trading PROHIBITED. 5% flipping rule.
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.
