More details +FundYourFX
FundYourFX runs seven programmes on MatchTrader from FYFX Capital LTD, a Hong Kong company, with splits starting between 50% and 85% and rising to 95% through payouts. Two points to check carefully before buying: there IS a daily drawdown limit (4%, or 5% on Pro) on every plan except 10X Quest, and the firm's marketing and its binding trading rules describe the maximum drawdown differently - the pricing cards say static, the rules say trailing.PROS:

- Expert Advisors are permitted
- Weekend and overnight holding both allowed

★★★★★

More details +Goat Funded Trader

★★★★★
More details +Hantec Trader
Hantec Trader is the prop arm associated with Hantec Markets — and the relationship needs care. The prop entity is Hantec Trader Limited (Mauritius, Company No. C191400), which is UNREGULATED. The FCA-regulated broker, Hantec Markets Limited (FRN 502635), is a legally separate company, and Hantec says so plainly: 'Hantec Trader Limited (MU) and Hantec Markets Limited are two entirely separate entities... you will not have the benefit of regulatory protections.' That is the most honest disclosure we have read in this sector — even though the product is served from a subdomain of the regulated broker's own domain. Two things decide most accounts. The 95% split is a PAID add-on (base is 80%), and you can also buy your way out of the consistency rule. And every reward request — not just the first — locks your maximum loss to your starting balance: Hantec's own example shows an account breaching after losing a single cent.PROS:
- The clearest regulatory disclosure of any prop firm we have audited — Hantec states outright that it is not FCA-regulated and that you will not have ombudsman or compensation-scheme protection
- Seven programmes, including 1-step, 2-step and three instant-funding routes
- Minimum payout of just 20 USD on most programmes
- A 24-hour payout approval guarantee
- A 10% "Retake" discount if you fail
- EnhancedX and Endurance retain an 8% buffer after a withdrawal
CONS:
- Every reward request — not just the first — locks your max loss to your starting balance. Hantec’s own example ends with an account breaching after losing one cent
- The 95% profit split is a PAID add-on. The base is 80% on every programme
- You can also buy your way out of the consistency rule and the minimum-profitable-days rule — the rules are effectively a paywall
- Scalping cap: profits from trades under 3 minutes cannot exceed 30% of total profits — enforced retroactively at payout review
- Registered in SAINT LUCIA, not the UK; unregulated; all accounts simulated
- A fixed 80/20 split, permanently - no higher tier at any price
- The reverse of most firms: maximum drawdown is STATIC, the DAILY drawdown TRAILS
- A Friday flatten is mandatory - no weekend holding
- Payouts via RISE only; minimum withdrawal is 1% of the account balance
★★★★★
More details +IC Funded
IC Funded offers two evaluations - a 2-Step Professional and a 1-Step Accelerated - on MetaTrader 5 and cTrader, with a fixed 80/20 split and a fee rebate from your third payout. The firm is registered in Saint Lucia, not the UK, and holds no regulatory licence. Its drawdown model is the reverse of the industry norm: the maximum drawdown is STATIC, while the DAILY drawdown trails on end-of-day equity.PROS:
- Maximum drawdown is STATIC, fixed to your initial balance
- Fixed 80/20 split, stated clearly and consistently
- Fee rebate from your third payout, at no extra cost
- No time limit on either evaluation; minimum three trading days
- MetaTrader 5 and cTrader both included
- No profit cap; scaling to a $500,000 allocation
- VPS use is permitted
- Group relationship with IC Markets entities is disclosed
CONS:
- The DAILY drawdown TRAILS on end-of-day equity - the reverse of most firms
- Both drawdowns are equity-based, so floating losses count in real time
- Registered in Saint Lucia, with no regulator and no UK presence
- The 80/20 split is fixed permanently - no higher tier at any price
- The fee rebate appears in marketing and the FAQ, but not in the binding terms
- A Friday flatten is mandatory - no weekend holding
- Simulated no-evaluation prop firm. Contracting entity is IF Pro Ltd, Saint Lucia (reg 2025-00056); the UK company is its payment agent. Five programmes, $625 to $120,000, on MT5, cTrader and Match-Trader.
- Signature rule: Smart Drawdown. Static 10% of starting balance that tightens permanently to 5% once you are 5% up.
- 80% split on every line (90% with an add-on). Flagship pays 14 days after first trade then weekly; IF Micro pays on demand. Minimum $25.
- Scaling doubles the account at a 10% gain up to $1.28M, consuming only 5% of the starting balance. The $1M portfolio cap counts starting balances only.
- Watch: news trading and weekend holding are paid add-ons on the two flagship lines, the Max Lot Rule resets the whole account, no payout data is published, and the Trustpilot rating is currently unavailable on Trustpilot’s official website.
★★★★★
More details +Instant Funding
Instant Funding is a no-evaluation simulated prop firm that markets itself as established in the UK in 2021, but the entity you contract with is IF Pro Ltd, an International Business Company registered in Saint Lucia in 2025 under number 2025-00056. The UK company in the footer, Acello Ltd, is its payment agent. Five programmes are on sale, from 625 to 120,000 dollars, on MetaTrader 5, cTrader and Match-Trader. Its defining rule is Smart Drawdown: a static 10 percent maximum loss on your starting balance that tightens permanently to 5 percent once you are 5 percent up, so the first stretch of profit is the most costly to give back. The split is 80 percent everywhere, or 90 with an add-on, and scaling doubles the account at a 10 percent gain up to 1.28 million while consuming only 5 percent of the starting balance. Two cautions before buying. News trading and weekend holding are paid add-ons on the flagship and GO lines, and breaching without them can strip your profit or reset the account. And the firm publishes no payout data at all, while its Trustpilot rating is currently unavailable on Trustpilot's official website across 4,379 reviews that run 27 percent one-star.PROS:
- No evaluation, no profit target and no daily drawdown on the flagship account
- Smart Drawdown is static rather than trailing, and is explained with worked examples
- Scaling doubles the account at a 10 percent gain up to 1.28 million, using only 5 percent of the starting balance
- The 1 million portfolio cap counts starting balances only, so scaled growth does not reduce your headroom
- Commission-free accounts genuinely carry no commission
- Rule pages for discontinued products are kept live, and a full governance pack is published
CONS:
- News trading and weekend holding are paid add-ons on the two flagship programmes
- Breaching the news rule without the add-on can remove profits or reset the account
- The Max Lot Rule resets the entire account for what is a position-sizing error
- No payout statistics, transparency report or independent review published at all
- the Trustpilot rating is currently unavailable on the official website, with 27 percent of 4,379 reviews at one star
- The contracting entity is a 2025 Saint Lucia company despite the Est. 2021 in the UK marketing
- Well-established US prop firm (Prop Account, LLC; since 2021) with simulated one-step evals in forex, futures and equities
- Signature: a genuinely rare funded US-equities program — real S&P 100 stocks, 2:1 buying power, short-selling, overnight holds
- Split 75–80%, with 90% a paid add-on; mostly 6% static drawdown
- Payouts $100 min (forex from day one); claims “not a single refused payout since 2021”; ~4.8 Trustpilot
- Watch: “no consistency rule / no time limits” is forex-only; futures/equities have a 33% rule + 90-day eval
★★★★★
More details +Ment Funding
Ment Funding is one of the more solid, well-regarded firms in this space: operating since 2021, a ~4.8 Trustpilot across 200-plus reviews, a not-a-single-refused-payout-since-2021 claim, and a genuinely uncommon funded-equities program alongside forex and futures. The main thing to get right is reading the rules per program: the attractive no-consistency-rule and no-time-limit headlines apply only to forex, futures and equities carry a 33% consistency rule and a 90-day eval, and the evaluation is simulated with 90% a paid upgrade.PROS:
- Rare funded US-equities program on real S&P 100 stocks with 2:1 buying power
- Long-running since 2021 with a strong ~4.8 Trustpilot and a no-refused-payout claim
- Payouts from day one on forex, $100 minimum, mostly static drawdown
- Three programs (forex, futures, equities) to match your trading
- Scaling ladder toward $5m for consistent traders
CONS:
- No-consistency-rule and no-time-limit headlines apply only to forex
- Futures and equities carry a 33% consistency rule; futures has a 90-day eval limit
- 90% split is a paid add-on over a 75 to 80 percent base
- Scandinavian-branded prop firm (an affiliate of Forest Park FX) with simulated forex/CFD assessments on MetaTrader 4
- Signature: a “profit-lock” trap — the static 6% max loss locks at your starting balance, so withdrawing all profit auto-closes the account
- 75% base split (90% a paid add-on); its own pages quote 75/80/up-to-90% inconsistently
- One-stage 4% daily / 6% static; a separate aggressive mode is 5% daily / 10% trailing; payouts once per 30 days
- Watch: “simulated” Terms vs “real funds” marketing; ~3.2 Trustpilot with payout-dispute complaints
★★★★★
More details +Nordic Funder
Nordic Funder has a clean-looking pitch, a Scandinavian brand, MT4, a one-time fee and a simple one or two-stage path, but the details temper it. The accounts are simulated despite real-funds marketing, its own figures for the split and targets are internally inconsistent, and the profit-lock trap means you can never withdraw your full profit without breaching the max-loss rule. Add a below-average ~3.2 Trustpilot and complaints about undelivered accounts, large-payout denials and discretionary closures, and it is a firm to approach with real caution.PROS:
- Clean pitch: Scandinavian brand, MetaTrader 4, one-time fee
- Simple one-stage, two-stage and aggressive product options
- A separate aggressive mode offers a looser 10% trailing drawdown
- Weekend holding and higher split available as paid add-ons
- First payout can be requested at any time
CONS:
- Profit-lock trap: withdrawing all your profit breaches the static max loss and closes the account
- Below-average ~3.2 Trustpilot with undelivered-account and large-payout-denial complaints
- Payouts capped at once every 30 days; drawdown does not reset after a payout
- Prop firm via two entities (Triple Edge Group, Cyprus + PTB, Saint Lucia) with simulated challenges on six platforms
- Five programs: Lightning, Freedom, Adventure, a 2-step Challenge and Instant; $5k–$500k
- Signature rule: a Freedom “Skill Score” caps single-payout size by how evenly profit is spread across trades
- Split up to 95% (Lightning top tier is a paid add-on); plan-specific static or trailing drawdown
- Watch: “Cyprus-licensed” / “real capital” over simulated Terms; complaints of post-profit “manual breaches”
★★★★★
More details +Plutus Trade Base
Plutus Trade Base offers genuine breadth: five programs, six platforms, a 95% ceiling and fast first payouts on Freedom, with a fee refund after three payouts and a low $100 minimum. The cautions are the fine print and payout mechanics: the accounts are simulated despite real-capital and Cyprus-licensed language, the Skill Score means Freedom auto payouts are still size-capped by an algorithm, and there are recurring complaints of post-profit manual breaches that reduce or deny payouts.PROS:
- Broad choice: five programs, six platforms, sizes up to $500k
- Split reaches 95% and fast sub-24-hour first payouts on Freedom
- Low $100 minimum withdrawal; fee refunded after the third payout
- Static or trailing drawdown depending on plan, so you can pick your style
- Terms were recently revised (June 2026), showing active maintenance
CONS:
- Freedom Skill Score caps single-payout size algorithmically despite auto-approval
- Recurring complaints of post-profit manual breaches reducing or denying payouts
- Hard breaches end the account; a 60-day stabilisation cap limits withdrawals to $3,000 after two breaches
- Dubai-based prop firm (founded 2024) with simulated forex/CFD challenges on five platforms; $7k–$300k
- Signature: a 100% profit split plus an advertised monthly salary up to $3,000 — but gated by a “Gambling Rule”
- Markets a link to Alvar Finance (Gibraltar-regulated broker) — the affiliated broker, not the prop firm
- 2-step evaluation; 5% daily / 10% max drawdown; low asset-dependent leverage
- Watch: 100%-plus-salary economics are hard to sustain, and payout denials are reported under the Gambling Rule
★★★★★
More details +Prop Number One
Prop Number One leads with one of the most generous-looking offers in the sector, a 100% split plus an advertised monthly salary, on a broad platform line-up with low-cost, refundable challenges. Approach it with a clear head: the accounts are simulated and the firm is unregulated, the 100%-plus-salary economics are hard to sustain and imply the firm profits mainly from fees and failed accounts, and the rewards are gated by a discretionary Gambling Rule that has been used to deny payouts.PROS:
- Generous headline package: advertised 100% split plus a monthly salary up to $3,000
- Broad platform choice (MT4/MT5, cTrader, DXtrade, Match-Trader), EAs allowed
- Low-cost, refundable-on-passing challenges from about $52
- Wide range of account sizes ($7k to $300k)
- Marketed link to a Gibraltar-regulated affiliated broker
CONS:
- Rewards gated by a discretionary Gambling Rule that has voided payouts
- Reported 10-plus-day payout delays against fast-payout marketing
- Young firm (2024) with a short track record; Terms are script-rendered and hard to verify
- 2023-founded simulated multi-asset firm (trading as QT Funded) on MT5/cTrader/TradeLocker; FX, indices, commodities, crypto CFDs + a futures line
- Signature: an unusual “Payout Guarantee” — keep 10% of pre-breach profit or a full fee refund after a post-request breach, up to 3 times
- Caution: a rising 2026 pattern of denied/delayed payouts, often on after-the-fact rule calls
- Low 7% Phase-1 target; 4% daily / 10% max drawdown; base split 80% up to 90%; funding to $300K
- 2-step, Instant, 1-step Pay-When-Funded & QT Power; swap-free free add-on; US accepted via TradeLocker; offshore/unregulated
★★★★★
More details +Quant Tekel
Quant Tekel runs its prop product as QT Funded, a 2023-founded simulated multi-asset firm on MT5, cTrader and TradeLocker, trading forex, indices, commodities and crypto CFDs plus a futures line. Its standout is an unusual Payout Guarantee: if you breach a non-prohibited rule after requesting a payout, you still keep 10 percent of pre-breach profit or a full fee refund, whichever is greater, up to three times. The central concern is payout enforcement: through 2026 there is a rising pattern of denied and delayed payouts, often on after-the-fact rule calls. It offers a low 7 percent Phase-1 target, an 80 to 90 percent split and funding to 300,000, with instant, 1-step pay-later and other options. US traders are accepted via TradeLocker, but the structure is offshore and unregulated.PROS:
- Unusual Payout Guarantee softens the first three rule breaches
- Low 7 percent Phase-1 target
- Base split 80 percent rising to 90 percent
- Broad options: instant, 1-step pay-when-funded, 2-step Elite, QT Power
- Swap-free is a free add-on; US accepted via TradeLocker
CONS:
- Rising 2026 pattern of denied and delayed payouts
- The prop product is offshore and unregulated; the FSCA licence covers a separate brokerage arm
- Payout Guarantee excludes prohibited strategies and platform breaches, the exact grounds used in disputes
