Real talk
What traders actually experience beyond the marketing copy.
Reliable, no-drama firm. 100% first $10K, no monthly fees, no activation fee. But: strictest consistency in the industry, Rithmic only (no Tradovate), 10-sec hold, no trading 3:15-5 PM CT, news restricted on funded.
Trailing drawdown that locks at starting balance is good. No DLL is a plus. But drawdown is only 3.5% on $100K ($3,500) - tighter than many competitors.
100% on first $10K is solid. No monthly funded fees. Weekly payouts. $0 activation. But the strict consistency rule means many traders can't get funded despite hitting the profit target.
Strictest consistency rule in the industry. Rithmic only - no Tradovate. News restricted on funded (1 min buffer). No trading 3:15-5 PM CT. 10-second minimum hold. Must maintain 50% of eval volume weekly when funded.
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.
