Funded Unicorn was a Germany-based proprietary trading firm (Funded Unicorn GmbH, founder Thomas Hartmann) that offered 1-step evaluations with accounts up to €400,000 using an A-book model - mirroring funded trader positions 1:1 in the real market. The firm permanently closed in June/July 2025 after sustaining a seven-figure loss from this model. Multiple traders report outstanding payouts not fulfilled after closure, and the firm's website (fundedunicorn.com) currently returns SSL/connection errors. Trustpilot 2.9/5 from 69 reviews. Traders should seek alternative firms.

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.

WeMasterTrader, operated by WeCopy Fintech Inc, is a proprietary trading firm offering a three-phase evaluation structure - a Challenge phase with an 8% profit target, a Stabilization phase, and a fully Funded Trade phase with up to 90% profit split. Daily loss is capped at 5% and maximum drawdown at 10%, while the platform is EA-friendly and permits copy trading, news trading, and weekend holding across multiple asset classes. Payouts are processed via bank transfer, Wise, PayPal, and cryptocurrency for eligible regions. The firm launched in late 2024, making it one of the newer entrants in the proprietary trading space.

Alpha Trader Firm (alphafunded.com) is a proprietary trading firm founded in 2022 offering funded accounts of up to $4,000,000 in total allocation. The firm supports TradeLocker, MetaTrader 5, and Match-Trader, with profit splits reaching up to 100%. Traders benefit from professional coaching, flexible trading rules, and on-demand payouts.

Funded Academy is a clean, straightforward evaluation with several trader-friendly touches: no consistency rule, no time limit, a low $100 payout minimum, 24-hour processing, a strong 85% base split on 1-Step, and a genuinely free education primer with no upsell. The caveats: it is young and unregulated, the accounts are simulated, and the Pro Flex vs Standard choice is LOCKED AT CHECKOUT - get it wrong and you cannot add weekend or news-holding rights without buying a new challenge. There is also a documented mismatch between the FAQ (news trading allowed on challenges) and the binding Terms (news trading listed as prohibited), so confirm with support if that matters. Note it does not accept US or UK traders.
