More details +The Trading Pit
The Trading Pit is a Liechtenstein-registered firm running CFD Prime, Futures Prime and a Stocks Challenge on a flat 80% split. Two changes on 29 April 2026 reshaped the deal: the fee rebate moved from your 1st payout to your 3rd, and the drawdown on the largest accounts switched from static to trailing. The rule that ends most accounts here is not a drawdown at all - it is the inactivity clock, which starts the day you buy, not the day you first trade.PROS:
- Flat 80% split on CFD Prime and Futures Prime, with no add-on to buy
- One-time fee, not a subscription (futures market data is billed separately)
- Static drawdown on most CFD account sizes
- Weekend and overnight holding permitted on all CFD accounts
- Wide platform choice: cTrader, MT4/MT5, NinjaTrader, Tradovate, Quantower, Sierra Chart
- Payouts processed within 24 hours on business days
- Minimum payout $100 on CFD accounts
- Resets and extensions available at a discount rather than a full rebuy
CONS:
- The fee rebate now lands on your 3RD payout, not your 1st (accounts bought from 29 April 2026)
- On 29 April 2026 the max drawdown on the largest CFD accounts switched from static to trailing
- A 1% fee is deducted from every payout
- The inactivity clock starts the day you buy - 21 days without a trade breaches the account
- Hitting the daily drawdown closes the account permanently; it is not a pause
- The firm publishes three different payout requirements across three of its own pages
- The best-known firm in the sector; simulated capital; unregulated
- 2-Step max drawdown is STATIC - a genuine fixed floor
- The 2-Step fee is refunded 100% with your first payout; the 1-Step never is
- The 1-Step carries a Best Day rule that nothing warns you about
- Includes the June 2026 payout report
★★★★★
More details +FTMO
FTMO (FTMO s.r.o., Prague) is the sector's most established simulated-funding firm, running a 2-Step and a newer 1-Step challenge. The most important fact is one almost every review gets backwards: the 2-Step fee is refunded 100% with your first payout, while the 1-Step fee is NON-REFUNDABLE. The 1-Step's lower sticker price (€499 vs €540 on a $100K) therefore makes it the more expensive route to funded, permanently. The 2-Step uses a STATIC 10% drawdown; the 1-Step uses an end-of-day TRAILING drawdown, a 3% daily loss, a 50% Best Day Rule that silently blocks payouts, no Scaling Plan — and it resets your entire drawdown buffer every time you withdraw. FTMO charges no withdrawal commission, has no consistency rules on the 2-Step, and scales to $2,000,000. There is no reset product: failing means buying again at full price.PROS:
- 2-Step challenge fee is refunded 100% with your first payout — one of the only genuine full refunds in the industry
- 2-Step max drawdown is STATIC (10%) — the floor never moves
- No consistency rules on the 2-Step beyond the stated objectives
- No withdrawal commission at all — FTMO charges nothing to pay you
- Scaling Plan: +25% capital every 4 months up to $2,000,000 (2-Step), performance-gated and free
- Minimum payout just $20 by bank wire
- No time limit on either challenge; MT4, MT5 and cTrader all supported
- Swing accounts have no news or weekend-holding restrictions
CONS:
- The 1-Step fee is NON-REFUNDABLE — it looks cheaper than the 2-Step but is permanently the more expensive route to funded
- The 1-Step uses an END-OF-DAY TRAILING drawdown (the 2-Step is static) and a tighter 3% daily loss
- The 1-Step's 50% Best Day Rule silently blocks your pass or payout — it is not a breach, so nothing warns you
- On the 1-Step, every payout RESETS your trailing drawdown back to 90% of initial capital — you lose your entire buffer
- The Scaling Plan is 2-Step ONLY — the 1-Step has none
- There is NO reset product — failing means repurchasing the challenge at full price
- UK-registered (Acello Ltd); states plainly it is NOT FCA regulated
- Acquired by Instant Funding in May 2026; the CEO has since stepped down
- Static 8% on the 2-Step Classic; Instant and 1-Step Express both TRAIL
- A 3% loss on any single symbol terminates the 2-Step account outright
- The fee rebate was abolished in February 2026 - no refund on any current product
★★★★★
More details +fundedtradingplus
Funded Trading Plus sells three programmes - Instant Funding, 1-Step Express and 2-Step Classic - on MT5 and Match-Trader, with an 80% base split. Two things reshaped the firm in 2026: the entire product line was replaced in February, taking the fee rebate with it, and the company was acquired by Instant Funding in May. It is UK-registered and says plainly that it is not FCA regulated. The 2-Step carries a 3% single-symbol loss limit that terminates the account outright.PROS:
- Instant Funding and 1-Step Express allow payouts from day one, once in profit
- 7-day payout cycle on Instant and 1-Step Express (10 days on 2-Step)
- $50 minimum payout on Instant and 1-Step Express
- EAs, algos and bots are permitted on all programmes
- Static 8% drawdown on the 2-Step Classic
- Swap-free across all programmes; no monthly fees
- UK-registered operating company (Acello Ltd, no. 12696083)
- No minimum trading days and no time limit
CONS:
- The fee rebate was abolished in February 2026 - there is now NO refund on any programme on sale
- 2-Step Classic: a 3% loss on any single symbol terminates the account outright
- 2-Step Classic consistency rule - one strong day can block a pass even if you hit the target
- Instant Funding and 1-Step Express both use a TRAILING drawdown; payouts do not lower the high-water mark
- Weekend holding is not allowed on Instant Funding
- The firm markets a split of up to 100%, but no rule document supports more than 90%
- FTUK is NOT a UK firm - no UK entity; operates across four jurisdictions
- The profit split contradicts itself three ways across the firm’s own pages
- Simulated capital; no stop-loss requirement; scaling to a claimed $6.4m
- A "trading day" only counts if you made at least 0.5% profit that day
- "Account Protector", sold as a safety feature, can terminate the account
★★★★★
More details +FTUK
FTUK is not a UK firm. Despite the name, it holds no FCA authorisation and has no UK company — and it names FOUR different jurisdictions across its own website: FTUK LLC (Wyoming), FTUK Inc. (Texas), Nexdata-Solutions B.V. (Netherlands, Dutch governing law) and FTUK Markets Ltd (Saint Lucia). Two different governing laws apply to two different products on one site. The rule that decides most accounts is buried in a general FAQ: FTUK defines a 'trading day' as a 24-hour period in which at least 0.5% profit is made. That silently converts every minimum-trading-days requirement — including the 10-day first-payout gate — into a minimum PROFITABLE-days requirement. You can trade for 30 days, be up 6%, and have zero qualifying days. The profit split is also contradictory: the scaling page says it starts at 50%, the FAQ says 60%, and the homepage markets 'up to 80%'.PROS:
- Flex costs just 9 USD upfront — you pay the real fee only on passing
- No time limits on the evaluations
- Scaling runs to 3.2 million USD (6.4 million with a paid upgrade)
- Instant Funding available with no evaluation phase
- One-time fees, with no monthly subscription
- Trustpilot 4.0 from 735 reviews, with no enforcement banner
CONS:
- There is no UK entity. FTUK names four different jurisdictions across its own site and holds no FCA authorisation
- A "trading day" is secretly defined as a day with at least 0.5% profit — so every minimum-trading-days rule is really a minimum profitable-days rule
- Account Protector: a −2% floating loss auto-closes trades and counts as a violation. Two triggers = automatic termination on Flex and Instant
- Payouts can be reduced to 0–50% at FTUK’s sole discretion
- CFD prop firm trading simulated capital; unregulated
- Split scales to 100% - free and performance-gated, never a paid add-on
- STATIC drawdown across every CFD programme; the floor never trails
- A 3.5% commission is deducted from every cash withdrawal, on all methods
- The 0.5% profitable-day rule is the real gate to getting paid
★★★★★
More details +The5ers
The5ers (Five Percent Online Ltd, a UK company — but contracted under Israeli law with exclusive jurisdiction in Tel Aviv) runs four CFD programmes: Bootcamp, Hyper Growth, Pro Growth and High Stakes. Its real strengths are genuine: drawdown is STATIC on every CFD programme, the split scales to 100% for free rather than as a paid add-on, and High Stakes offers 1:100 leverage. But two things are widely misreported. First, a 3.5% commission is taken from EVERY cash withdrawal — Rise, crypto and bank transfer alike; the only 0% route is non-convertible Hub Credit. Second, the celebrated ~70% fee refund is High Stakes only, is paid as account equity rather than cash, and is itself subject to that 3.5% on the way out. The rule that decides most accounts is the 0.5% profitable-day definition: on a $100K you need $500 of closed profit in a day to qualify, and an open losing position at midnight wipes the day out entirely.PROS:
- Drawdown is STATIC across every CFD programme — the floor never trails you
- The split scales to 100% and it is free and performance-gated, never a paid add-on
- High Stakes runs 1:100 leverage — double most competitors
- A genuine ~70% fee refund exists on High Stakes
- No time limit on any evaluation; one-time fee, no recurring charges
- Forex commission 4 USD per lot round turn; no commission on indices
- MT5, cTrader and TradingView (US traders) supported
CONS:
- A 3.5% commission is deducted from every cash withdrawal — Rise, crypto and bank transfer
- The 0.5% profitable-day rule is the real gate, and an open losing position at midnight destroys the day
- The 70% refund is High Stakes only, paid as equity, and the Terms separately call the fee non-refundable
- The consistency-rule percentage is not disclosed before purchase
- The5ers Futures uses a never-locking trailing drawdown — a trap for CFD traders crossing over
- Real UK company (Companies House 13719951); NOT FCA regulated, and no FCA warning exists
- A flat 80% split on every plan - there is no 90% tier at any price
- Static on Alpha Pro, Swing and Three; Alpha One trails a high-water mark
- The 2-minute rule: 50% of profits must come from trades held over two minutes
- $100 minimum payout; the fee is not refundable - all sales are final
★★★★★
More details +Alpha Capital
Alpha Capital Group is a UK-registered prop firm running four evaluation paths - Alpha One, Alpha Pro, Alpha Swing and Alpha Three - on MT5, cTrader, DX Trade and TradeLocker. The split is a flat 80% on every plan, and scaling raises your balance rather than your share. Every plan uses a static drawdown except Alpha One, which trails. The fee is non-refundable, and the rule that ends most accounts here is not a drawdown at all - it is the 2-minute average trade duration test.PROS:
- Static drawdown on Alpha Pro, Alpha Swing and Alpha Three
- Hedging and stacking permitted; overnight and weekend holds allowed in all evaluation phases
- Four platforms: MetaTrader 5, cTrader, DX Trade and TradeLocker
- No time limit and no account expiry on any evaluation
- On-demand payouts available once the account is 2% in profit
- Payouts processed within 2 business days via Rise, Wise or bank transfer
- Scaling to a cumulative $2m in allocated balance
- A 0.25% bonus of initial account size on your 4th payout
CONS:
- The fee is non-refundable: "All sales are final and no refund will be issued"
- The split is a flat 80% - there is no 90% tier at any price, and scaling does not raise it
- The 2-minute rule: at least 50% of profits must come from trades held over 2 minutes, or profits are removed
- Alpha One trails on a high-water mark, and once locked, withdrawing all profit closes the account
- The Risk Management Group can cut your leverage to 1:30 and halve your lot caps at the firm's discretion
- UK-registered but not FCA regulated; the group's only licence sits with a Seychelles sister broker
- Binding terms name a UAE company (GrowthNext F.Z.E.) as the contracting party; unregulated
- Base 80%; 90% via Scale-Up; 95% is a paid add-on (+25-30% of the fee)
- Up to 3.5% is deducted from EVERY payout - an "80%" split nets about 77%
- Static on Stellar 1-Step, 2-Step and Lite; only Stellar Instant trails
- The 3% max risk rule: a second breach permanently caps you at 1% risk for life
★★★★★
More details +Funded Next
FundedNext is a UAE proprietary trading firm operating through GrowthNext F.Z.E. (Ajman Free Zone), running the Stellar range: 1-Step, 2-Step, Lite and Instant. Per its own disclaimer it is a simulation-based platform. The base profit split is 80% — 90% is reached through the Scale-Up plan, and 95% is a PAID add-on costing 25–30% on top of the challenge fee. A processing fee of up to 3.5% is deducted from EVERY payout, so a nominal 80% split nets closer to 77%. Since 12 January 2026 the 1-Step split starts at 80% rather than 90% — and resetting an older account moves you onto the newer, worse terms. The 1-Step pays on a 5-business-day cycle; the 2-Step's first cycle is 21 days, then 14 thereafter. Minimum payout from 20 USD, and only 2 minimum trading days on the 1-Step.PROS:
- Static drawdown on Stellar 1-Step, 2-Step and Lite
- The 100% fee refund is standard and free (not an add-on)

- No consistency rule on standard CFD accounts
- Scaling to 90% and up to a $4m allocation
- Trustpilot 4.5 from over 73,000 reviews, with no consumer alert
CONS:

- The base split is 80%; 95% is a paid add-on at +25-30% of the fee
- The 3% max risk rule: a second breach permanently caps you at 1% risk for the life of the account

- Payouts are capped at $2,000 per request for most traders
- Stellar Instant uses a trailing drawdown and has no fee refund
- You contract with FT US Inc (Miami); the terms name an unnamed third party as the funder
- Base 80% (2-Step) or 90% (1-Step, Instant); 100% is a paid add-on
- Static on 2-Step PRO6 and PRO10; 1-Step PRO trails and never locks
- The 2% cap is per aggregated trade idea, not per trade - an instant hard breach
- $50 crypto / $200 bank minimum; 21-day cycle; fee refunded on your 2nd payout
★★★★★
More details +Funding traders

The base split is 80% on the 2-Step products and 90% on 1-Step and Instant, with the headline 100% sold as a checkout add-on.

- 1-Step PRO's 10% max drawdown trails from your highest balance and never locks
- The 100% profit split is a paid add-on (+30% of the fee); 90% costs +15%

★★★★★
More details +FunderPro
FunderPro sells four evaluations - One Phase, Classic, Pro and Instant - on MetaTrader 5, cTrader and TradeLocker, with an 80% base split and a $100 minimum payout. It is unusually candid in one respect: it publishes its own pass rate, 7.35%, in the site footer. It is less candid in others. The homepage advertises "No Trailing Drawdown" while the binding Instant terms specify a trailing one, and the contract that governs your payouts is not published anywhere.PROS:

- Clause 11.9 lets FunderPro decline to fund you AFTER you pass, with no refund of the fee
- The Funded Trader Agreement, which governs your payouts, is not published - you cannot read it before buying
- The homepage says "Your EAs Allowed", but clause 13.10 forbids EAs that replicate trades and 13.11 requires you to own the source code
- Consistency rules of 40% (One Phase) and 45% (Pro), calculated on unrealised equity

★★★★★
More details +Funding Pips
Funding Pips is a Comoros-registered prop firm (FundingPips Corp) with an administrative base in Dubai. All accounts are simulated. The advertised "up to 100%" profit split is neither a tier you earn nor an add-on you buy - it is a payout-frequency trade-off: weekly pays 60%, bi-weekly 80%, on-demand 90% and monthly 100%. That makes it the only major firm whose top split is free and rule-based rather than bought or scaled into. Maximum drawdown is STATIC on all four standard models (a floor that never moves) - the exceptions are FundingPips Zero, which trails at 5% and is by far the strictest product here, and Prime, which trails at 8%. Six programmes, fees from 29 to 888 USD, max allocation 400,000 USD, and Prime scaling to 2,000,000. Weekend holding has been suspended on funded accounts since January 2026. The challenge fee is refunded at your 4th reward on 1 Step and 2 Step Standard only - reset fees never are.PROS:
- 100% profit split is genuinely FREE and rule-based - you just accept a 30-day payout cycle (rivals charge for it or make you scale)
- Maximum drawdown is STATIC on all four standard models - the floor never moves
- No time limit on any evaluation
- 2 Step Pro is the quiet bargain: cheapest fees, 1-day minimum, and the Risk Per Trade Idea rule removed entirely
- No commission at all on indices or energies; 5 USD per lot on forex and metals
- Challenge fee refunded at your 4th reward on 1 Step and 2 Step Standard
- Max allocation now 400,000 USD; Prime scales to 2,000,000
- MT5, cTrader and Match-Trader

- Weekly payouts pay only 60% - the fastest cycle costs you 40% of your profit
- Weekend holding SUSPENDED on funded accounts across all four standard models since 29 Jan 2026
- Profit Concentration Policy (June 2026): one big winning trade in your evaluation permanently attaches a 4-profitable-day gate to EVERY future payout

It trades on MT4, MT5, DXTrade and TradingView, plus crypto, with a separate FXIFY Futures brand.

It offers 1-step, 2-step, 3-phase, Lightning, Instant Funding and crypto programs, sizes 5,000 to 400,000 from about 19 dollars, a split up to 90 percent (100 percent on crypto and futures), a 50 dollar minimum payout and scaling to 4 million.

The base split is 80 percent, up to 90 percent via a paid add-on, with account-doubling scaling to 1.28 million. The main caveat is payout denial at the compliance and KYC stage.
