SuperFunded - Prop Firm Review

Pricing snapshot

Company and regulation

SuperFunded’s corporate identity is stated two different ways - in its own two binding documents, which is unusual and worth flagging. The General Terms say the contract is with “Eightcap International Ltd, a company incorporated in the Republic of Seychelles,” under Seychelles law. The Rules and Conditions say the programme is “administered by Eightcap International Ltd, a company incorporated in the United Arab Emirates.” Same named company, two different countries of incorporation, no registration number or address published in either.

It is not regulated. The homepage states “Super Funded is not a broker and do not accept deposits,” and the Terms add, in capitals, that its products “are not financial or investment products or services… do not form part of any regulated financial services.”

The accounts are simulated, and the Terms are unusually direct: “the Bankroll is fictitious and representative in nature only and does not comprise real monies,” and “funded accounts remain simulated only.” The homepage’s “earn real money” language sits over that.

The rule worth the whole review: the early-earnings squeeze

SuperFunded’s defining feature is how hard it caps a new funded trader’s withdrawals, and it is the thing that most changes the economics versus firms advertising uncapped payouts.

Two rules stack. First, a profit cap of 5% of your account size, on your first three approved payouts - and the crucial part is what happens to the rest: “Any profit over the cap is forfeited and will be removed when your Account is reset to the original balance.” This is not deferred to a later payout; it is deleted.

Second, a Profit Distribution rule: no single calendar day may account for more than 40% of your requested profit (30% on larger accounts), or the excess is deducted.

Work it through on a $100k 2-Step account. A strong first month is throttled to about $5,000 withdrawable - and because the 2-Step’s first payout split is 70%, that nets roughly $3,500. Any profit you made above the $5,000 line is forfeited on reset, not banked for next time, and what remains has to be spread across several days. So a trader who has a brilliant first run does not get paid for most of it. None of this is hidden - it is all in the binding Rules - but it is a world away from the “up to 90%, uncapped” impression the homepage gives, and it is the single most important thing to understand before buying.

The products, split and drawdown

Two challenges: a 1-Step (8% target) and a 2-Step (10% then 5%). Pricing is low - from $33 on a $3k 2-Step to $1,469 on a $200k 1-Step - one-off, with a 20%-off code currently running.

The split needs the same care as the payouts. On the 1-Step the split is 80% flat, and the advertised 90% is a paid add-on costing +35% of the fee. On the 2-Step it is earned but slow: 70% on your first payout, 80% on your second, 90% only from the third onward. Either way, the headline “up to 90%” is not what you get early on.

The drawdown differs by product: the 1-Step trails at 5% on your highest equity (locking at the high-water mark, never at your initial balance), while the 2-Step is static at 10% of your initial balance. The daily limit is 3% (1-Step) or 5% (2-Step) of the previous day’s balance. One inconsistency to note: the firm’s own FAQ wrongly describes the 1-Step drawdown as “static” while the Rules make clear it trails - so trust the Rules document over the FAQ.

Payouts and rules

• Minimum payout: $100, on a 14-day cycle, processed in 24-48 hours by bank wire or crypto. KYC only kicks in once cumulative withdrawals pass $1,000.
• Consistency: the 40%/30% Profit Distribution rule above.
• News: allowed in the assessment; banned within 10 minutes of high-impact news once funded.
• Weekend and overnight holding allowed; EAs allowed; scalping and grid allowed on 1-Step but not on 2-Step (trades under 30 seconds count as scalping).
• Fees: a one-off, non-refundable access fee with no monthly or ongoing charge. Optional add-ons include swap-free and a 7-day first payout.

Verdict

SuperFunded does several things well: low entry from $33, no recurring fees, a $100 payout minimum, KYC deferred until you have withdrawn $1,000, permissive rules on news, weekends and EAs, and binding terms that are honest about the product being simulated. For a small-account CFD trader testing the waters, the friction is genuinely low.

What you must go in understanding is the early-earnings squeeze: your first three payouts are capped at 5% of account size and anything above is forfeited on reset, the 2-Step split does not reach 90% until your third payout, and on 1-Step the 90% is a paid upgrade. Add the two-country entity contradiction in its own documents and the fact that it is unregulated and simulated, and the picture is clear: a cheap, low-friction way in, with an unusually tight ceiling on what you can actually take out early. Read the profit-cap rule before you buy, not after your first good month.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is SuperFunded regulated?

No. SuperFunded states it is not a broker and does not accept deposits, and its Terms say its products do not form part of any regulated financial services. Note that its two binding documents name the operating entity, Eightcap International Ltd, as incorporated in two different countries - Seychelles in the General Terms and the UAE in the Rules - with no registration number published.

What is the SuperFunded profit split?

On the 1-Step it is 80% flat, and the advertised 90% is a paid add-on costing an extra 35% of the fee. On the 2-Step it is earned but slow: 70% on your first payout, 80% on your second, and 90% only from the third payout onward. So the headline “up to 90%” is not what you get in the early payouts.

What is SuperFunded’s profit cap?

For your first three approved payouts, profit is capped at 5% of your account size, and critically, any profit above the cap is forfeited and removed when your account resets - it is not carried over. A separate Profit Distribution rule also means no single day can exceed 40% of your requested profit (30% on larger accounts). Together these substantially limit what a strong early run can actually pay.

Is the SuperFunded drawdown trailing or static?

It depends on the product. The 1-Step uses a 5% trailing drawdown that adjusts to your highest equity and locks at that high-water mark rather than your initial balance. The 2-Step uses a static 10% drawdown from your initial balance. The daily limit is 3% (1-Step) or 5% (2-Step) of the previous day’s balance. Note the firm’s FAQ wrongly calls the 1-Step drawdown static; the Rules document, which says it trails, is the one to trust.

Are SuperFunded accounts simulated?

Yes. The binding Terms state that the bankroll is fictitious and representative only and does not comprise real money, and that funded accounts remain simulated only. Trades are not placed in a live market, and payouts are discretionary rewards rather than returns on investment, despite some “earn real money” language in the marketing.

How do SuperFunded payouts work?

The minimum payout is $100 on a 14-day cycle, processed within 24 to 48 hours by bank wire or cryptocurrency, and KYC is only required once your cumulative withdrawals exceed $1,000. Remember that your first three payouts are capped at 5% of account size with any excess forfeited, and no single day may exceed 40% (or 30% on larger accounts) of your requested profit.

What does SuperFunded allow you to trade and how?

It offers more than 700 assets - forex, crypto, indices, metals, oil and CFDs - on the TradeLocker platform, with liquidity from partner broker Eightcap. News trading is allowed in the assessment but restricted once funded, weekend and overnight holding are allowed, and EAs are permitted. Scalping and grid trading are allowed on the 1-Step but not the 2-Step.
