Prop Firm Reviews

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.

Funder Trading offers a documented $100,000 simulated stock/options challenge and advertises an 80% funded profit share. Official challenge rules require same-day closing, minimum trading activity and dollar loss limits. Resets do not restart the 22-trading-day attempt clock. Its Terms include education disclaimers and also describe a firm-held discretionary funded account. Confirm payout mechanics and the funded agreement directly.

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.

Funding Rock (Mindwave Training Limited, Cyprus) has genuine strengths: a named EU entity with full contact details, a trailing drawdown that LOCKS rather than chasing you forever, a very low $5 entry on Pay-After-You-Pass, no recurring fees, and a modest $100 payout minimum. The cautions are specific: the 95% split is a PAID add-on over 80%; the $5 entry buys a cheap ATTEMPT, not a cheap funded account (the real fee is deferred, not removed); and most importantly, the TERMS FORBID the EAs and AI bots the site actively markets, and a consistency rule appears to have been added mid-stream. This is a firm where the binding contract is materially stricter than the sales pitch, so read the Terms - especially on automation - before you commit.

FuturesElite (Quantum SRL, Italy) gets several things right: an EU-registered operator, an end-of-day (not intraday) trailing drawdown that locks at your starting balance, no daily loss limit and no consistency rule once Elite-funded, a $0 activation fee, and sub-24-hour payouts. Go in understanding two things. The 90% and 100% splits are an Elite-tier feature and a paid add-on respectively - not the "all accounts" default the homepage implies (base is 80%). And the flat, non-scaling payout caps are a deliberate nudge to buy MULTIPLE accounts - the firm openly states traders scale by holding multiple funded accounts rather than growing one. Automation (AI/bots) is banned, and the funded account is simulated with a $50,000 lifetime cap before any live transition.

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 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.

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.

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.
