Copy trading permitted without fuss
Firm respects their own posted rules which sounds trivial until you have been burned by one that did not.
Firm respects their own posted rules which sounds trivial until you have been burned by one that did not.
Scaling trigger at 10 percent profit plus two payouts was clearly posted on the dashboard the day I signed up. Added a 50k account on top of my existing 100k with no requirement to pass another evaluation first.
Consistency rule was used as an excuse to pay out only 60 percent of my first withdrawal with no clear math on how they got there. Risk desk told me gold was a prohibited symbol only after I had opened a position, despite the firm not listing any prohibitions on the signup page.
Payout number four arrived two hours after I requested it, and the 90 percent split showed clearly on the statement. Low commissions on NQ at $1.80 round-trip meant my scalping edge survived onto the funded account.
Decent for day traders only, since the swing version has a lower drawdown and a higher profit target that cancel each other out. Consistency rule bit me when a single news day did 42 percent of my total profit and reduced my first payout accordingly.
Account was breached by a stale quote on a weekend gap that the risk team acknowledged was abnormal but refused to reverse.
Rules on EA usage are clear but the review takes a week, which is painful if you want to start on a Monday. Portal looks like it was designed in 2015 but the actual information you need is there once you learn where to click.
Account mirror feature lets me run my funded trades alongside a personal account one-to-one without a plug-in.
Finally a prop firm where the risk team explains what you did wrong instead of just closing the account. Second phase blew by in three sessions once I accepted their lot sizing rule as a sanity check. Daily loss limit at 4 percent is tight but it kept me from revenge trading after a bad Monday.
Second attempt finally funded after I slowed down and treated the phase one target as a soft number.
Daily loss resets at midnight server time which is 7pm NY, meaning a bad close can bleed into the next session uncomfortably. News trading window is a tight two-minute lockout, but it extends to five minutes on CPI releases without any prior notice.
Challenge was passable with a conservative swing approach on indices, not just high-frequency scalping. Objective targets on both phases, no mystery metrics, no sudden consistency checks after I had already passed.
Trailing drawdown never stopped trailing even after I hit a 15 percent profit buffer, which is not what the contract page describes. Rules on consistency were applied inconsistently to me and three friends on the same firm with the same strategy and different outcomes.
A pending order on gold was treated as a filled position for drawdown purposes, which is nowhere in the written risk policy.
After blowing one challenge on an EA I did not fully test, their 30 percent reset discount got me funded on attempt two. Portal is actually usable on mobile, which matters when a daily loss alert pings during lunch. Honest spreads during London open with EURUSD staying under 0.4 pips most of the window.
Trailing drawdown stopped at my initial balance plus 10 percent, exactly as the contract described, so I knew where I stood. Rules documentation is a 14-page PDF, not a vibe, and every edge case I asked about was already in there.
Add-on balance of 25k was credited the day after I requested it with the scaling fee I expected.
Pro trader discount of 20 percent on the 200k evaluation was honored after I sent two prior payout statements. Payout number four arrived two hours after I requested it, and the 90 percent split showed clearly on the statement.
Added a 50k account on top of my existing 100k with no requirement to pass another evaluation first. Simulated feed on the evaluation account matched my broker's live feed close enough that my setups still worked.
Clear escalation path on their support page meant my rule breach appeal reached a senior reviewer the same day.
Objective targets on both phases, no mystery metrics, no sudden consistency checks after I had already passed.
Scaling plan triggered automatically after my third payout request, so I did not have to open a ticket. Allowed news trading on majors as long as I was already in the position before the release window.
Allowed news trading on majors as long as I was already in the position before the release window. Reasonable minimum trading days of three let me take payouts on actual market weeks instead of forcing filler trades.
Found a firm that calculates trailing drawdown on closed equity instead of floating equity, which fits my style.
Risk team let me reinstate after a FOMC breach because the simulator had misquoted the lockout window by 90 seconds. Reasonable commission schedule on micro NQ at 50 cents per side meant I could actually scalp the 10 point moves profitably.
Hidden rule killed my funded account when they decided copy trading between my own two funded accounts was unauthorized.
Running a copy trading mirror between my personal and funded accounts was approved after a short compliance call. Found a firm that calculates trailing drawdown on closed equity instead of floating equity, which fits my style.
Consistency rule bit me when a single news day did 42 percent of my total profit and reduced my first payout accordingly.
Phase one took four days on their 100k challenge using ES contracts and I kept risk at 0.5 percent per trade. Allowed EA use after a short review of my backtest, with a clear list of which parameters they cared about. Fast challenge turnaround with phase two unlocked within an hour of hitting the phase one target.
Trader portal shows pending payouts, cleared payouts, and the exact scaling trigger I need to hit next. News trading rules are written in a single paragraph on their site, not scattered across six FAQ pages like elsewhere.
Three payouts of between $2k and $7k processed without a single clarifying email on my end.
Rules on consistency were applied inconsistently to me and three friends on the same firm with the same strategy and different outcomes. Platform froze at FOMC for seven minutes and my stop never triggered, which pushed me past the daily loss limit by a hair. Risk team was openly hostile over a gold trade on the day of a central bank meeting, even though gold news was not on their calendar.
Three month payout streak intact and the firm added a new 500k tier that I actually qualify for.
Journal export from their portal to CSV meant I could run my own stats without rebuilding anything.
Payout structure of 80 percent base and 90 percent after six requests actually incentivizes staying with them. Reinstated an account that was flagged for a late news trade after I sent timestamps and the risk team agreed.
Nothing on the funded account matches the sales page, from the stated commissions to the actual time it takes to reach a human. Weekend hold rule was enforced retroactively on a Friday EURUSD position that I had held open since Tuesday without warning. Soft breach notice arrived in my inbox after a drawdown touch that my own broker and TradingView never registered on their feeds.
Reset of the evaluation after a bad day was processed in under three hours with the same account and the same promo code. Passed the 50k evaluation in six trading days using NQ scalps and the payout landed in my wallet within 48 hours. Reliable fills on futures contracts even in the first minute of the cash open, which is where I live or die.
Rules are buried in footnotes and a separate operations manual you can only find linked inside the funded account dashboard. After passing the challenge in six days they held my funded account for a 14 day review period that was not disclosed up front.
Dashboard showed me at 2 percent daily loss when the risk team said I was at 4.9 percent, and they went with their number.
Phase one is practically unreachable with their spreads on majors, which are 1.3 pips at the London open versus the 0.6 their marketing shows.
Honest spreads during London open with EURUSD staying under 0.4 pips most of the window. Phase one was clean, phase two was clean, and the funded account was live before the end of that same week. Honest execution on the proprietary platform with time and sales matching what my charts showed.
Platform fine for discretionary trading, but the journal integration misses copy-trade entries, which skews my stats. Phase one at a 6 percent target is reasonable but the 10 percent trailing drawdown feels tighter than it should given the target. Honest about the trailing drawdown mechanics in the contract but their landing page glosses over the floating-equity aspect.
Hit three months of consecutive payouts and the firm sent a 5 percent bump on my split as promised. Finally a prop firm where the risk team explains what you did wrong instead of just closing the account.
Challenge discount from a legitimate affiliate was applied cleanly without me having to argue in support chat. Allowed hedging between correlated futures contracts after a short call explaining what my mean reversion book looks like. After two failed attempts elsewhere, their 25k evaluation finally felt winnable without stunt-sized risk.
Suspended for a copy trading disclosure after I truthfully answered a question about whether I run a signal service on the side.
Daily loss limit at 4 percent is tight but it kept me from revenge trading after a bad Monday. Challenge was passable with a conservative swing approach on indices, not just high-frequency scalping.
Finally hit a payout cycle where the processing time matched the time quoted in the contract.
Scaled across three accounts of 50k, 100k, and 200k simultaneously with a single consolidated payout statement each month. Second attempt finally funded after I slowed down and treated the phase one target as a soft number. After two years with another firm I switched over and the first payout here landed quicker than any of their last six.
Risk desk emailed me a chart showing exactly where my trailing drawdown stood, which I have not seen anywhere else. Scaling from a 25k account to a 100k allocation after three green months felt earned, not promotional. Hit three months of consecutive payouts and the firm sent a 5 percent bump on my split as promised.
Scaled from 50k to 200k over four payout cycles and the scaling criteria were spelled out before I started. Reasonable 10 percent profit target on the swing version made the lower drawdown feel like a tradeoff worth taking.
