Rules fit my swing strategy
Weekly consistency reports from the risk team actually helped me tighten my position sizing on NQ.
Simple rules and multi-account futures funding
Weekly consistency reports from the risk team actually helped me tighten my position sizing on NQ.
Running a copy trading mirror between my personal and funded accounts was approved after a short compliance call.
Rules themselves are reasonable but they have changed three times during my funded account, which makes planning harder. Spread widening at news releases is sharper than their simulator suggested, which cost me the first phase on a payroll day.
Payout cycles can be requested every 14 days, which fit my strategy of swing holding through macro events rather than overnight scalping.
Weekly payouts land every Thursday and I have not had to chase a single one for status updates. Payout cycles can be requested every 14 days, which fit my strategy of swing holding through macro events rather than overnight scalping.
Phase one was clean, phase two was clean, and the funded account was live before the end of that same week.
Payout number four arrived two hours after I requested it, and the 90 percent split showed clearly on the statement. Pro trader discount of 20 percent on the 200k evaluation was honored after I sent two prior payout statements.
Allowed overnight gold holds through CPI week provided I kept size below the news-trading cap, which was clear. Finally a prop firm where the risk team explains what you did wrong instead of just closing the account.
Scaling to 200k came with a letter from the risk team outlining what to avoid in the next cycle. After reading six prop firm comparisons I picked this one for the swing rules and have not regretted it.
Nothing on the funded account matches the sales page, from the stated commissions to the actual time it takes to reach a human.
Scaling plan triggered automatically after my third payout request, so I did not have to open a ticket. My EA was approved within one business day after I sent the backtest and the strategy description.
Weekend holds on EURUSD swings were honored every single Friday without a surprise closeout email on Monday. Challenge pricing at $179 for the 50k felt fair when I compared it against three competitors I had already failed. Firm respects their own posted rules which sounds trivial until you have been burned by one that did not.
Three payouts of between $2k and $7k processed without a single clarifying email on my end.
After pushing through three failed challenges elsewhere I finally cleared this one on the first try. Daily loss limit at 4 percent is tight but it kept me from revenge trading after a bad Monday.
Rules documentation is a 14-page PDF, not a vibe, and every edge case I asked about was already in there. Reset of the evaluation after a bad day was processed in under three hours with the same account and the same promo code.
Fast challenge turnaround with phase two unlocked within an hour of hitting the phase one target. Hedging between gold and the dollar index on their platform was allowed, which fit my macro-driven approach.
Risk desk emailed me a chart showing exactly where my trailing drawdown stood, which I have not seen anywhere else. Added a 50k account on top of my existing 100k with no requirement to pass another evaluation first.
Account mirror feature lets me run my funded trades alongside a personal account one-to-one without a plug-in.
Portal is actually usable on mobile, which matters when a daily loss alert pings during lunch. Firm respects their own posted rules which sounds trivial until you have been burned by one that did not. Payout invoice generated automatically for my LLC with the right business address pulled from KYC.
Add-on balance of 25k was credited the day after I requested it with the scaling fee I expected. Scaling from a 25k account to a 100k allocation after three green months felt earned, not promotional. Passed the 50k evaluation in six trading days using NQ scalps and the payout landed in my wallet within 48 hours.
Profit target was hit comfortably with a mean reversion strategy on EURUSD during the New York session. Low commissions on NQ at $1.80 round-trip meant my scalping edge survived onto the funded account. Weekly payouts land every Thursday and I have not had to chase a single one for status updates.
Passed the 50k evaluation in six trading days using NQ scalps and the payout landed in my wallet within 48 hours. Reasonable 10 percent profit target on the swing version made the lower drawdown feel like a tradeoff worth taking.
Risk desk sent me a short loom video on why my hedge was flagged and how to structure it next time.
Payout structure of 80 percent base and 90 percent after six requests actually incentivizes staying with them.
Challenge was reasonable at the 50k tier but the reset fee of $89 after a near miss felt steep for a one-percent overshoot. Fast challenge pass but a slow payout cycle that ended up at nine business days for my first withdrawal.
Challenge discount from a legitimate affiliate was applied cleanly without me having to argue in support chat.
After five payouts the firm bumped my base split to 85 percent and extended the maximum trading days by 30. Clear escalation path on their support page meant my rule breach appeal reached a senior reviewer the same day. Allowed hedging between correlated futures contracts after a short call explaining what my mean reversion book looks like.
Reliable fills on futures contracts even in the first minute of the cash open, which is where I live or die. Reliable execution during Fed days which is honestly the only test that matters for a futures scalper.
Challenge was passable with a conservative swing approach on indices, not just high-frequency scalping. Scaling trigger at 10 percent profit plus two payouts was clearly posted on the dashboard the day I signed up.
Reinstated an account that was flagged for a late news trade after I sent timestamps and the risk team agreed. Consistency rule capped my best day at 35 percent of total profit and honestly it kept me from blowing up twice.
Objective targets on both phases, no mystery metrics, no sudden consistency checks after I had already passed. Second phase blew by in three sessions once I accepted their lot sizing rule as a sanity check.
Found a firm where the daily loss limit is calculated on closed equity only, which fits a trend-following swing style perfectly. KYC turnaround was under four hours on a weekday morning, which beat two competitors I had used before.
Trader portal shows pending payouts, cleared payouts, and the exact scaling trigger I need to hit next. Payout invoice generated automatically for my LLC with the right business address pulled from KYC.
Honest execution on the proprietary platform with time and sales matching what my charts showed. Scaled across three accounts of 50k, 100k, and 200k simultaneously with a single consolidated payout statement each month. Finally hit a payout cycle where the processing time matched the time quoted in the contract.
Journal integration syncs trades to a Notion template they publish, which saved me a weekend of plumbing. Reasonable minimum trading days of three let me take payouts on actual market weeks instead of forcing filler trades.
Lot sizing cap was tied to a percent of balance, not a fixed number, which actually scales with the account.
Scaled across three accounts of 50k, 100k, and 200k simultaneously with a single consolidated payout statement each month. Objective targets on both phases, no mystery metrics, no sudden consistency checks after I had already passed.
Daily drawdown resets at exactly 5pm NY time and does not sneak forward on daylight savings weekends.
Payout invoice generated automatically for my LLC with the right business address pulled from KYC. After five payouts the firm bumped my base split to 85 percent and extended the maximum trading days by 30.
Trailing drawdown stopped at my initial balance plus 10 percent, exactly as the contract described, so I knew where I stood.
KYC turnaround was under four hours on a weekday morning, which beat two competitors I had used before.
Risk team let me reinstate after a FOMC breach because the simulator had misquoted the lockout window by 90 seconds. Profit target was hit comfortably with a mean reversion strategy on EURUSD during the New York session. Weekend holds on EURUSD swings were honored every single Friday without a surprise closeout email on Monday.
Second phase blew by in three sessions once I accepted their lot sizing rule as a sanity check. Portal is actually usable on mobile, which matters when a daily loss alert pings during lunch.
Journal export from their portal to CSV meant I could run my own stats without rebuilding anything.
Consistency rule capped my best day at 35 percent of total profit and honestly it kept me from blowing up twice. Rules documentation is a 14-page PDF, not a vibe, and every edge case I asked about was already in there. Honest about leverage limits of 1:30 on majors on the funded, which is actually sensible for the drawdown they offer.
Hit three months of consecutive payouts and the firm sent a 5 percent bump on my split as promised. Three payouts of between $2k and $7k processed without a single clarifying email on my end. Journal integration syncs trades to a Notion template they publish, which saved me a weekend of plumbing.
Scaling trigger at 10 percent profit plus two payouts was clearly posted on the dashboard the day I signed up.
Decent risk desk but you have to escalate twice to get a senior reviewer, and the junior staff mostly read from a script. Fine firm, nothing special, and after three months I probably could not tell you one thing it does better than competitors. Fills on gold futures were decent during London but slipped noticeably in the thin Asian session right before Sydney open.
Reliable execution during Fed days which is honestly the only test that matters for a futures scalper. Payout number four arrived two hours after I requested it, and the 90 percent split showed clearly on the statement.
News trading rules are written in a single paragraph on their site, not scattered across six FAQ pages like elsewhere. Weekly payouts land every Thursday and I have not had to chase a single one for status updates.
