Real talk
What traders actually experience beyond the marketing copy.
Potentially best pure value in the industry. $144.60 for 100K, 5% drawdown, $0 activation, no DLL, automation allowed. The 80/20 split is the main downside. Young firm - verify longevity.
5% EOD trailing is the most generous drawdown PERCENTAGE in the industry. $5,000 on $100K vs $3,000-$4,000 everywhere else. Locks at starting + $100.
80/20 split is below the 90/10 standard. But with prices this low and drawdown this generous, total ROI may still be better. Transition to live after 3 payouts or $75K cumulative.
80/20 split is below standard. Young firm. Consistency rule details unclear. 10 min trading days. $25K Static has only $500 drawdown.
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.
