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.
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.
