Real talk
What traders actually experience beyond the marketing copy.
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.
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.
Most plans use EOD trailing (favorable). S2F PRO uses INTRADAY trailing (much harsher). EOD locks at starting + $100 once reached.
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.
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.
