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.
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.
