CFD Prop Firms

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 standard 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 an 80% share nets 77.2% if the full fee applies. 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; standard 2-Step begins at 21 days, then 14. Alternative 2-Step/Lite options change eligibility and share: 3 Day at 60%, On-Demand at 90%, or 95% with the Lifetime Reward add-on. Minimum payout from 20 USD, and only 2 minimum trading days on the 1-Step.

FundedSquad has one of the more aggressive reward pitches around: a 12-hour payout guarantee, account-doubling scaling, up-to-100% splits and low entry fees, and it appears to be actively operating with a solid Trustpilot base. Buy on the Terms, not the headlines: the accounts are simulated, the refundable fee is contradicted by a non-refundable clause, and there are payout-denial complaints tied to a 2-minute minimum-hold rule and discretionary reviews.

Funding Pips provides simulated CFD evaluation and Master accounts. The current catalogue has five programmes, with USD list prices from $29 to $888. Reward terms depend on model: Standard weekly pays 60%, Pro weekly 80%, Flex models offer biweekly options, and Zero pays 95% biweekly. Eligible monthly accounts offer 100% with consistency, profitable-day and risk conditions. Compare the selected model’s loss limits, reset costs and refund exclusions. Platforms are MT5, cTrader and Match-Trader.

FX2 Funding sells 2-Step, 1-Step and 1-Step Pro evaluations on Match-Trader, cTrader, DXTrade and GooeyPro, with no time limit and no minimum trading days. The fee is not refundable and there is no rebate. The rule that decides most accounts is a payout mechanic rather than a drawdown: requesting a withdrawal resets your maximum drawdown to your starting balance, so taking money out early leaves you with almost no room to trade.

FXIFY offers several simulated forex/CFD programs plus a separate crypto line. One Phase, Two Phase Standard and Three Phase support first payout requests on demand with a $50 minimum, followed by 30-day cycles or 14 with an add-on. Classic, Pro, Instant and Lightning use different payout schedules. Pro has early payout caps; Lite has 20% consistency. Eligible evaluations require approval for EAs and exclude DXtrade automation. Withdrawals on trailing accounts can leave little or no loss buffer. Prices, offers and historical corporate/reputation statements retain their earlier review dates.

Get Funded Now has some genuinely trader-friendly headline terms, a 90% split, no minimum trading days, no time limit and a fee refund on first payout, plus a credible ex-Barclays founder story. But it is a firm where the payout side is unusually aggressive and the reputation is mixed, so caution is warranted: the accounts are simulated, the news-window clawback voids funded-account profits from trades allowed in the evaluation, the first two payouts are capped at $10k, there is an unwritten consistency rule in the complaints, and a reported unverified UK FCA warning.

Goat Funded Trader offers simulated CFD evaluations and instant models. Named 1-Step, 2-Step and 3-Step routes use static overall drawdown; Instant, Blitz and Pay Later trail. Payout rules depend on model and purchase date. The 40% split applies to the first Reward on Demand, not every scheduled first payout.

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.

Hola Prime is a simulated prop firm launched in late 2024, selling forex and futures evaluations through Hola Prime Limited Cyprus (HE 454359), a subsidiary of Hola Prime Limited in Hong Kong. Its defining feature is a 1-hour payout claim with a Zero Payout Denial Policy, backed by an independent Deloitte review that reported 98.35 percent of withdrawal requests completed within the hour with zero denials between 15 October 2025 and 15 March 2026. Four forex plans are sold, 1-Step Prime, 2-Step Prime, 2-Step Pro and Direct, at 5,000 to 50,000 dollars only, plus two futures plans at 25,000 to 150,000. The split is 80 percent bi-weekly or on demand and 95 percent monthly for 20 percent more on the fee, with scaling advertised to 4 million. Two caveats sit under the headline: every payout waits on an account review of up to 24 business hours, and a 2.5 percent processing fee applies, minimum 25 dollars by wire or Rise and 5 by crypto. The prop firm itself is unregulated; only the Mauritius broker leg holds a licence.

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.

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.
