TL;DR: Stampede in 30 seconds
- What it is: a Cyprus prop firm (Stampede Ltd, Nicosia) selling simulated evaluations on Match-Trader, across FX, metals, indices, oil and crypto. Simulated capital to $200,000. It opened for sale in July 2026.
- The rule that defines it: static drawdown on every plan on sale, with the loss floor fixed in dollars at purchase, plus no consistency rule and no time limit anywhere on the challenge ladder.
- The ladder: three plans. Classic (2 checkpoints, 10% floor, fee returned when you pass), Sprint (1 checkpoint, 6% floor) and Sprint Turbo (1 checkpoint, 3% floor, from $39).
- The split: 80% as standard on every plan. The 90% split is a paid checkout add-on at +20% of the fee, not something you earn by scaling or performance.
- Payouts: on demand from your first profitable funded trade, $50 minimum, same-day in USDC, no caps and no winning-day gates.
- Watch for: the firm is weeks old and has no payout history at all, it is unregulated and fully simulated, and Sprint Turbo pairs the cheapest entry with the tightest floor on the ladder.
Last reviewed: 4 August 2026. Checked against Stampede’s own pricing page, rulebook, Terms and Refund Policy, and against a completed data request returned by the firm on 2 August 2026. Because Stampede launched in July 2026 there is no payout record, no independent review history and no trader feedback to weigh yet. Confirm current terms on the firm’s own pages before buying.
Company and regulation
Stampede is operated by Stampede Ltd, registered in Cyprus under company number HE 494949, with a registered office at Nikis 1, Anthoupoli, 2350 Nicosia. The company was incorporated on 30 June 2026 and opened for sale the following month, which makes it one of the newest firms we list.
It is unregulated, and its Terms say so without hedging: Stampede “is not a brokerage, an exchange, an investment firm, or an asset manager, and is not licensed or regulated as any of those things in any jurisdiction.” Every account, evaluation and funded alike, is a simulated account trading a fictitious balance against live market data, and the fee you pay is for an evaluation service rather than a deposit. Payouts, however, are real money. The Terms are governed by the laws of Delaware, with disputes going to individual JAMS arbitration and a thirty-day opt-out.
Two disclosures are worth singling out because most firms leave them out. First, Stampede states its own conflict of interest in writing: the evaluation is deliberately rigorous, most participants do not pass, and the firm earns a fee each time a trader fails and buys another attempt. Second, it discloses that where the firm trades its own capital it may route that through LHFX, a real-money brokerage run by the same team, and it states plainly that LHFX’s client is the firm rather than you. LHFX does not serve US persons; Stampede does, and is open to all fifty US states and the District of Columbia.
The rule that defines it: a floor that never moves
Most of this sector sells you a drawdown that follows you upward, then charges extra to make it stop. Stampede does the opposite. All three plans on sale run a static maximum loss: the floor is set as a dollar figure the moment you buy and never moves, after a profit, after a payout, or at any other point. Drawdown is measured on equity, so open trades count.
Paired with that is the absence of the two rules traders most often trip over. There is no consistency rule on any challenge plan, on evaluation or once funded, and no winning-day gate at payout. There is also no time limit, so a plan is a plan rather than a clock. The firm is explicit that it will not sell payout speed or static drawdown as upgrades, and on the evidence of its own pricing page that holds: there is exactly one add-on in the shop.
The caveat is the mirror image of the strength. A static floor is only generous if it is wide, and Sprint Turbo’s is 3%. Asked which rule most often ends an account, the firm answered that it has not sold enough accounts to know, but that by design it expects the maximum total loss, and singled out Turbo as the one to watch: it is the cheapest entry at $39, which makes it the most popular first purchase, and it carries the tightest floor on the ladder.
Programmes, fees and the split
Three plans are on sale. Classic runs two checkpoints with the most room; Sprint compresses that into one checkpoint with a 6% floor; Sprint Turbo is the budget seat with a 3% floor.
Stampede plans at a glance
| Plan | Steps | Profit target | Daily loss | Max loss | Drawdown | Min trading days | Sizes | Fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Classic | 2 | 8% then 5% | 5% | 10% | Static | 1 per step | $5K to $100K | $55 to $549 |
| Sprint | 1 | 10% | 4% | 6% | Static | None | $5K to $200K | $69 to $1,290 |
| Sprint Turbo | 1 | 9% | 3% | 3% | Static | None | $5K to $200K | $39 to $799 |
Fees are one-time, with no subscription, no reset billing and no activation fee on passing. Adding the 90/10 split raises each fee by 20%.
Fees run from $39 for a $5K Sprint Turbo to $1,290 for a $200K Sprint. On Classic only, the full fee comes back: it is added on top of your first funded payout after you pass. Sprint and Sprint Turbo carry no rebate and are priced lower instead. Every plan has a 24-hour pre-trade cancellation window for a full refund; once you place a trade the fee is spent, because the evaluation service has been delivered.
The split is 80% to the trader on every plan from the first payout. The 90% ceiling exists, but it is bought rather than earned: a checkout add-on at +20% of the listed fee, permanent for the life of the account, available only at purchase and never retroactively. It changes nothing else about the account. That is worth pricing honestly. On a $100K Sprint the upgrade costs $148, and it is not tied to a plan tier, to scaling or to performance.
Payouts
Payouts are the part of the pitch Stampede leans on hardest, and on paper the terms are among the most permissive we list. There is no waiting period and no cycle: you can request from your first profitable trade on the funded account, with no minimum trading days, no minimum trade count and no profit threshold. After that it is on demand. The minimum is $50, there are no caps on early payouts and no winning-day gate, and no fee is deducted from the payment.
The method is USDC only. Bank transfer is planned but not live, and the firm asked us not to list it until it is. Paying on a public ledger is also the firm’s answer to payout proof: it intends to publish an on-chain log rather than quote a headline figure. The honest caveat is that there is nothing in that log yet.

Trading rules and conditions
Trading is on Match-Trader in the browser or the mobile app, with no MT4, MT5 or cTrader. Markets are FX majors and minors, gold and metals, indices, oil and crypto, with no futures, equities or options. Leverage is 1:30 on FX, scaling down by asset class to 1:20 on indices, 1:15 on metals, 1:10 on oil and 1:5 or 1:2 on crypto, and it does not change once funded. There is no per-lot commission, and swap-free accounts are not offered.
The permissive side is broad: expert advisors are allowed on every plan at no surcharge, news trading is allowed with no blackout window, weekend and overnight holding are allowed and do not change once funded, scalping is allowed, and there is no inactivity rule and no cap on profit per day or per trade.
The prohibitions are worth reading before you buy, because one of them is wider than the sector norm. Hedging is banned across accounts, not just within one: you must not hold opposing positions in the same or a closely correlated instrument within an account, across your own Stampede accounts, or between Stampede and an external account. Also prohibited are Martingale and grid strategies, sub-60-second high-frequency trading, and trading another person’s account or letting anyone trade yours, which ends every account you hold. Copying another person’s trades is out; running your own strategy across your own accounts is fine.
What to watch
- No track record of any kind. No payouts processed, no independent reviews, no trader feedback. Every favourable thing in this review is a term on a page, not a demonstrated behaviour.
- Unregulated and fully simulated. No client-money segregation, no investor compensation scheme, and liability capped at the fees you paid in the previous twelve months.
- The 90% split is sold, not earned. A headline “up to 90%” is accurate only if you pay the add-on at checkout, and it cannot be added later.
- Sprint Turbo pairs the cheapest fee with the tightest floor. A 3% static maximum loss is a narrow margin, and the firm expects it to be the most common failure point.
- Stampede Instant is advertised but not purchasable. It appears on the pricing page marked “coming soon”, and its rules differ materially from the plans on sale: an end-of-day trailing drawdown and a consistency rule. Do not assume the plans above describe it.
Verdict
Stampede has written one of the cleaner rulebooks in the sector, and it has written it in plain language. Static drawdown as standard rather than an upsell, no consistency rule, no time limit, on-demand payouts from the first profitable trade, one add-on in the entire shop, and a Terms document that states the firm’s conflict of interest and the simulated nature of the product instead of burying them. Add a 24-hour cancellation window, a full fee rebate on Classic, and coverage of all fifty US states, and the offer reads as genuinely trader-first.
What it does not have is evidence. Stampede incorporated on 30 June 2026 and opened for sale in July, and at the time of this review it had processed no payouts, held no independent reviews and had no trader feedback to weigh. The firm says as much itself rather than dressing up a launch figure, which counts for something, but it does not change the position: everything above is a promise, and promises in this sector are cheap until a payout clears. The 90% split being a paid add-on and Turbo’s 3% floor are the two places where the pricing is sharper than the marketing suggests.
For a trader who reads rulebooks and values a floor that does not move, Stampede is worth a small first purchase rather than a large one. Buy the plan whose drawdown you actually need rather than the cheapest fee, treat the first payout as the real test, and revisit once there is a payout record to check.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Stampede regulated, and is the capital real?
No. Stampede Ltd is registered in Cyprus under number HE 494949 and is unregulated. Its Terms state that it is not a brokerage, exchange, investment firm or asset manager, and is not licensed as any of those in any jurisdiction. Every account, evaluation and funded, is simulated and trades a fictitious balance against live market data. Payouts themselves are real money, and the fee you pay is for the evaluation service rather than a deposit.
What is distinctive about Stampede?
Static drawdown on every plan on sale, with the loss floor fixed in dollars at purchase and never trailing upward, combined with no consistency rule and no time limit anywhere on the challenge ladder. Payouts are on demand from the first profitable funded trade, with a $50 minimum, no caps and no winning-day gates. The firm also refuses to sell payout speed or static drawdown as upgrades, leaving one add-on in the whole shop.
What is the Stampede profit split?
80% to the trader as standard on every plan, from the first payout. The 90% split is a paid add-on bought at checkout for an extra 20% of the listed fee, permanent for the life of the account. It is not tied to a plan tier, is not earned through scaling or performance, and cannot be added after purchase.
How do Stampede payouts and refunds work?
You can request a payout from your first profitable trade on the funded account, with no minimum trading days or profit threshold, and on demand after that. The minimum is $50, payment is in USDC only, processing is same day, and no fee is deducted. On refunds, the Classic fee is returned in full with your first funded payout; Sprint and Sprint Turbo carry no rebate. Every plan can be cancelled for a full refund within 24 hours of purchase provided no trade has been placed.
Is Stampede trustworthy?
It is too early to say, and the firm agrees. Stampede incorporated on 30 June 2026 and opened for sale in July, so at the time of this review it had processed no payouts, carried no independent reviews and had no trader feedback. Its published rules are unusually clear and its Terms disclose both the simulated product and the firm’s own conflict of interest, which are good signs. Treat it as a promising but unproven firm, start small, and judge it on the first payout.
