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.
OVERALL SCORE
9.2

  • 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

  • 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

  • The firm publishes three different payout requirements across three of its own pages

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.
OVERALL SCORE
9.1
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

The Concept Trading
The Concept Trading is an Australian firm running five account families on MetaTrader 5 and TradeLocker, with static drawdown, no daily drawdown and no consistency rule - a genuinely permissive rule set. The headline numbers are the problem. The advertised 90% split is 50% at every level except the last one, and while the homepage sells weekly payouts, clause 12.17 of the binding terms allows only one payout per calendar month.

  • CFD prop firm trading simulated capital; unregulated
  • 80%, 90% or 100% split - a paid choice at checkout, not a performance tier
  • E8 Zero: no daily drawdown at all and a 3% STATIC maximum. E8 Pro: 8% static, no consistency rule

E8 Markets
E8 Markets (E8 Funding LLC, Dallas + E8 Markets Ltd, Saint Lucia) runs three single-phase products: E8 Zero, E8 One and E8 Pro. Two things dominate. First, the profit split is a PAID CHOICE at checkout — in E8's own words, 'select 80%, 90%, or 100% at checkout. Higher splits cost more upfront,' and the choice is permanent. Second, and more dangerous: on E8 Zero and E8 Pro your first payout permanently raises the loss level to your initial balance. E8's own worked example shows a $104,000 account requesting a $4,000 payout, dropping to $100,000, and BREACHING immediately. Withdrawing your own profit can destroy the account that produced it. E8 Zero also deactivates permanently after 5 payouts, capping lifetime earnings between $15,000 and $35,000 depending on account size. There is no fee refund of any kind.

PROS:
  • E8 Zero: no daily drawdown at all, and a 3% STATIC max drawdown
  • E8 Pro: 8% STATIC drawdown with no consistency rule
  • Single-phase evaluations across the whole range — no second phase to grind
  • Resets available at a 10% discount (within 7 days of failing)
  • Publishes a pass rate (17.7%) — though the window is now over two years stale
  • Unregulated and says so plainly; no false regulatory claim
  • Choice of drawdown model and split at checkout
CONS:
  • THE PAYOUT TRAP: on E8 Zero and E8 Pro, your first payout permanently raises the loss level to your initial balance — E8's own example shows a $104,000 account requesting $4,000 and BREACHING instantly at $100,000
  • The 80/90/100% profit split is a PAID CHOICE at checkout — higher splits cost more upfront and are locked for the life of the account
  • E8 Zero DEACTIVATES after 5 payouts — capped at $15k ($50K acct) to $35k ($500K acct) lifetime
  • E8 Pro's '80% split' is really 40% of profits — only half your profit is ever made requestable
  • E8 One's max drawdown TRAILS (4-14%) and breaches on intraday equity

  • 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

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

  • 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

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%'.
OVERALL SCORE

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

  • 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

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.
OVERALL SCORE
8.9
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

  • 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

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.

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. The rule that decides most accounts is a 2% cap on loss per trade idea, enforced as an immediate hard breach.

Plans are one-step Zero, Advanced (flat 90 percent split, no daily loss limit) and Direct (instant). US traders are accepted. Its evaluations are simulated.

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.

  • Clause 11.9 lets FunderPro decline to fund you AFTER you pass, with no refund of the fee
