PTG Funded appeal is real for the right trader: an unusually configurable line-up, a genuine build-your-own challenge, aggressive instant scaling, and one-time fees with no subscription. Set expectations by the Terms, not the homepage: the accounts are simulated with fictitious funds despite the real-money marketing, the up-to-80% split is a mid-tier ceiling you pay to reach, and the payout schedule is not clearly published. Resolve that in writing before buying.

R U The 1 appears to be closed. Independent prop-firm trackers list it as CLOSED with a do-not-send-funds warning, its website no longer serves a working product, and traders have reported being told the firm was shutting down and that they would lose their accounts, so everything else is historical. It was a UK-registered simulated forex and CFD prop firm operated by R1 London Ltd, founded in December 2024 by a former Saxo Bank front-office head, trading on cTrader. Its defining trait was an anti-scalping, low-leverage philosophy that banned scalping, HFT and grid trading and capped leverage at 1:50, which also became a payout-dispute gate. It did not accept US traders. There is nothing to recommend: do not buy a challenge or deposit money, and if you are owed a payout, treat it as a loss and report it.

Rocket 21 a-la-carte pricing is genuinely novel: you buy exactly the drawdown room, split, payout cadence and early-withdrawal rights you want, the challenge fee comes back on your first withdrawal, and a failed two-step can be revived. The reservations are real: the accounts are simulated, the attractive terms are paid extras rather than the advertised base, and independent reports on payout speed put its reliability below the sector best.

There is no live recommendation: Seacrest Funded prop business is closed (around Feb 2026, pivoted to a CFD broker), and even before the shutdown its payouts were gated by a consistency rule and its 1-step trailing drawdown drew frequent complaints. Do not buy a challenge. As a lesson, a large popular brand (MyFundedFX had thousands of reviews) can exit the prop business at short notice, and payout-gating rules, where you stay funded but cannot withdraw, are worth scrutinising closely.

The Prop Vault appears to be closed. Its website now loads only a blank placeholder and the brand has been wound down, so everything else is historical. It was one identity in a serial-rebranding chain run by the same operator, from Bespoke Funding Program to The Prop Vault to House of Leverage, with repeated broker and server migrations. The predecessor, Bespoke Funding, carried a UK FCA warning, and the final brand, House of Leverage, reportedly told customers it was shutting down in August 2025 with payout disputes unresolved. Historically it was an unregulated, simulated forex and CFD firm offering 1-step and 2-step challenges. There is nothing to recommend: do not buy a challenge or deposit money, and if you are owed a payout, treat it as a loss and report it.

TickTickTrader was a distinctive firm: a simulated US-futures evaluation with an unusually strong in-person, MENA-and-Europe events presence that nothing else in the space quite matched. But the honest assessment today is simple: it does not appear to be operating normally. Its own site sells nothing, and it reportedly lost the trading platforms a futures firm cannot function without. Until there is confirmed evidence of stable operation, do not buy an evaluation from it.

There is nothing to recommend: Traddoo appears to be closed or wound down, its site does not load, and an independent tracker warns against sending it funds. Do not buy a challenge or deposit money. Even before the closure signals, Traddoo carried warning signs worth learning from: a fee refund deferred to the 4th payout, a hedging trap where marketed freedoms became grounds for disqualification, internally inconsistent rules, and a fragile dependence on a single broker partner that ended.

Traders With Edge appears to be closed or non-operational: its website returns an error, an independent tracker warns against sending it funds, and traders report a five-plus-week platform outage with accounts cancelled and no support. Historically it was an unregulated Hong Kong prop firm (execution via broker Eightcap) whose headline was an aggressive 30 million dollar scaling ceiling, undercut by a pay-to-unlock model where the 80% split and 1:100 leverage were paid upgrades. There is nothing to recommend today. Do not buy a challenge or deposit money; if you are owed a payout, keep records and report it. Score reflects apparent closure and payout failure.
