Prop Firm Reviews

Finotive Funding is a Dubai (DIFC) simulated forex and CFD prop firm operating since 2021 on MT5 and Match-Trader. Entry is cheap from about 25 dollars, sizes run 2,500 to 200,000 dollars, and scaling is advertised to 5.4 million. Its defining feature is a 10 percent strike system: rule breaks cut your next payout to a 10 percent split rather than closing the account, though the discretionary holistic assessment behind reductions is its top complaint. The Pro tier adds a 1 percent monthly salary and a 100 percent split after 30 days. Drawdown is static and payouts are weekly on Fridays.

Rebels Funding has a genuinely distinctive, trader-friendly pitch: no time limit on evaluations, an oversized 200% refund, a wide 1-to-4-phase-plus-scaling ladder, and a broadly positive reputation (around 4.3 Trustpilot, with platform lag rather than non-payment the main gripe). Go in with two things clear: it is an unregulated, fully simulated firm whose Terms disclaim any entitlement to payout and whose split is not stated on its own pages, and its funded stage runs under a two-entity structure, with RIFM s.r.o. providing the evaluations and RIFM or FRCSM s.r.o. managing the funded RCF stage. Verify the key terms directly before buying.

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.

My Funded Futures runs four futures plans - Rapid, Pro, Flex and Builder - across NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView and others, with no activation fee and payouts as fast as 24 hours. The evaluation is a MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION, not a one-time fee, which is easy to miss. Rapid carries the headline 90% split and daily payouts, but it is also the only plan whose drawdown trails INTRADAY off your equity high, and the word intraday appears nowhere in the marketing.

Mubite (Mubite s.r.o., Czech Republic) is a capable crypto-perpetuals firm with real strengths: an EU-registered operator, genuinely permissive trading rules (news, bots and weekend holding all allowed), no monthly fee, on-demand payouts on the evaluation programs, and transparent itemised rule pages. What you must understand is the risk model and the fine print. The daily limit is a hard, equity-based, real-time 5% where a momentary touch fails you - stricter than the marketing suggests. The "up to 90%" split is a paid add-on over 70-80% defaults. The accounts are simulated, the entity is named two different ways across its own documents (s.r.o. vs "ltd."), and the refund promise is contradicted by the binding Terms. Its "Smart Drawdown" on Instant trails to +5% profit then locks permanently.

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.

Rev One Trading's "score, don't breach" model is a genuinely clever, trader-friendly idea: no daily loss limit, no sudden account death between 4% and 8% drawdown (a bad day throttles your split rather than failing you), all strategies allowed, a $0 activation fee and a clear one-page rulebook. Two things hold it back. Your actual split is set by an UNDISCLOSED six-factor discipline score, so "up to 90%" is a ceiling not a rate. And, more seriously, the BINDING TERMS describe a different product than the one being sold - a recurring monthly subscription, a locked buffer, and different account names ("Classic" and "Rally") - while disclaiming payout guarantees and reserving the right to change the rules at will. Accounts are simulated; real capital (Rev One Live) only after five payouts.

Prop Shop Trader is a US futures and stocks prop firm built for payout speed on the Tickblaze platform. Pass a one-day Sprint evaluation and withdraw on a three-day cycle, or skip the eval with a direct-to-payout Forge, Light, Stocks or Swing account that pays from the second benchmark. The split is 90%, payouts are automatic (up to $6,250 per payout on a 25K, five per account), and there is no monthly, subscription or data fee. News, algos and copiers are all allowed. The caveats: payouts are capped, accounts are simulated, and the Tickblaze platform is less familiar than the usual futures front-ends.

Funded Elite free Second Chance is a genuinely novel safety net, the platform choice is good, and many traders report being paid quickly. Weigh it with the fine print, though: the accounts are simulated, the Second Chance permanently worsens your risk limits, first-payout split and refund, the up-to-95% split is not supported by the rules, and there are documented payout-denial complaints under a per-strategy risk limit alongside broad discretionary clauses. Trade well inside the stated limits.

SuperFunded does several things well: low entry from $33, no recurring fees, a $100 payout minimum, KYC deferred until you have withdrawn $1,000, permissive rules on news, weekends and EAs, and binding terms that are honest about the product being simulated. What you must understand is the EARLY-EARNINGS SQUEEZE: your first three payouts are capped at 5% of account size and anything above is FORFEITED on reset, the 2-Step split does not reach 90% until your third payout, and on 1-Step the 90% is a paid upgrade. Add the two-country entity contradiction in its own documents (Seychelles vs UAE) and the fact that it is unregulated and simulated, and the picture is a cheap, low-friction way in with an unusually tight ceiling on what you can take out early.

Blueberry Funded is the proprietary-trading arm of Blueberry Markets, an established retail broker operating since 2016 whose Australian entity is ASIC-regulated. It offers a simulated forex and CFD product on an unusually broad platform set, MT4, MT5, TradeLocker and DXtrade. Its defining feature is genuine regulated-broker parentage, giving it real infrastructure and longevity that most standalone props lack. The rules are permissive on paper, with no consistency rule, no time limit, a base split of 80 percent rising to 90 percent, and scaling to a simulated 2 million. Two honest caveats: the ASIC licence covers the broker, not the simulated challenges, which are run through an offshore entity, and there is a documented pattern of discretionary breach-at-payout complaints. It does not accept US traders.

FundedHive is one of the more genuinely novel firms around: a blockchain-themed CFD prop firm (TradingHive Group) with a static balance-based drawdown, no consistency rule, no minimum hold time, news trading allowed, low entry fees, no monthly cost, and an on-chain payout rail advertising 60-second automated withdrawals with NFT proof and no human approval. The reason to be careful is the A-BOOK / B-BOOK switch: your 70-80% split applies only to profit earned while the system keeps you A-book, and a breach moves your gains into a demo bucket you cannot withdraw. The firm is more transparent about this than most (it is on-chain and documented) but it is a material risk the marketing understates, and it is where the firm's own worst reviews cluster. Accounts are simulated, and no company registration numbers are published.
