Prop Firm Reviews

Kraken Prop is the most infrastructure-credible crypto prop program going: a one-off fee with no subscription, a single-phase evaluation with no time limit, no consistency rule or profit cap, a $50 first-payout threshold, sub-24-hour payouts into a Kraken wallet, and the real possibility that funded trades reach an actual matching engine. But the brand reassures more than the contract supports. It is operated by Payward Oceanic Ltd, a BVI entity that declares itself unregulated; the funded capital is notional and can be B-booked as simulated at Kraken's discretion; drawdowns are very tight (3-6%) on volatile crypto; and the 90% split is a paid add-on, not earned. Judge it as a fast, well-built, crypto-only prop program - not as a regulated Kraken account.

Lucid Trading is a futures prop firm with 50,000+ traders, $60M+ in payouts, and the fastest average payout speed in the industry at 15 minutes. Two plans - LucidFlex and LucidPro - cover every experience level, with 10+ professional platforms via CQG and Rithmic, 90% profit split, and crypto payments for international traders.

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.

OFP Funding is a UK-registered instant-funded proprietary trading firm (FINTEKNOLOGY LTD) that provides traders with virtual capital immediately upon purchase - no challenge or evaluation required.

The firm is best suited to experienced traders who want immediate access to funded capital without the delay of an evaluation process.

Goat Funded Trader runs seven evaluation routes across five platforms, with an 80% base profit split, bi-weekly payouts and a $100 minimum. The multi-step evaluations use a static drawdown; the Instant and Blitz products trail. Two rules decide most outcomes here: the fee is rebated on your fourth payout rather than refunded, and the first Reward on Demand is paid at 40% whatever split you bought.

Hola Prime is a fast-growing proprietary trading firm founded in 2024, offering account sizes from $5,000 to $300,000 with scaling potential up to $4,000,000 and one of the broadest platform selections in the industry - MT4, MT5, DXTrade, cTrader, and Match-Trader. Profit splits are tiered by payout frequency: 65% weekly, 80% bi-weekly, or up to 95% monthly, giving traders meaningful control over their earnings schedule. The firm stands out for its one-hour payout processing and transparent pricing, with challenges starting from just $48. EAs, news trading, and weekend holding are all fully supported, with a 3% daily drawdown and 5% trailing max drawdown keeping risk rules straightforward.

Goat Funded Futures (WITI Limited, Hong Kong) is a separate company from Goat Funded Trader, the CFD firm. Its strengths are real: no monthly subscription, no activation fee, one-step evaluations, and a trailing drawdown that locks permanently at your starting balance on every product. Its weaknesses are twofold. The marketing overstates - "no daily drawdown" is untrue of three of the four funded products, and the advertised 100% split applies only to Instant, while EOD and Flex pay 80% with the 90% sold as an upsell. More seriously, the firm's own specification pages contradict each other on Sprint's drawdown type, Sprint's consistency rule, EOD's profit split and Instant's price. Screenshot the spec of whatever you buy, on the day you buy it.
