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.
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.
