Been curious about these guys since they launched. they refunded my eval fee when i got funded which was a nice surprise. the consistency rule is generous compared to the firms that cap you hard. payouts are biweekly on funded accounts which is way better than the monthly firms. the rules pdf is long but at least nothing is buried in tiny print. the daily loss limit gives you enough room to actually trade your plan instead of choking you out.

Tried a bunch of firms this year so i know what to look for by now. execution during london open is tight enough to scalp if you are into that. i passed phase two and the payout eligibility kicked in exactly when they said it would. overnight swaps are charged but they are upfront about the numbers. i traded indices mostly and the spreads on those were perfectly fine. still funded, still profitable, still getting paid, that is the test that matters.

Went in for the cheap eval mostly to see what all the fuss was about. they sent me a little congrats email with my payout confirmation which was a nice touch. there is a discord and staff actually show up in it occasionally. support remembered my previous ticket and didnt make me re-explain the whole thing. verdict: boring in the best possible way.

came here after getting burned somewhere else and starting over. their spreads on gold are tighter than teh broker i was using before i found them. they paused my consistency tracker when i asked for a couple weeks off, super flexible. man the withdrawal request i submitted on a tuesday was sitting in my bank by thursday morning. the leverage is sensible, enough to work with but not enough to wreck yourself by accident. stuck with them a year now and zero regrets.

Someone in my discord swore these guys pay fast so here we are. i got a partial refund of my fee back with my first payout which i wasnt expecting. i like that they show your stats in real time instead of a delayed dashboard. no hidden gotchas on the payout page, what they say is what you actually get. i was funded the same day i passed, no waiting around for a manual review for a week. boring in the best way, money shows up and nobody plays games.

Long time retail trader, first time messing with a prop firm. the funded payout split started at 80/20 and scaled up which felt fair. the rules are written in plain english so i actually knew what id get banned for before i started. they let me run my algo as long as it is not some latency arbitrage exploit. i tested the live account against the demo with the same setups and it matched. if you can trade within the lines this place treats you right.

Signed up mostly to test their platform before committing real focus. the verification email came instantly instead of the usual 24 hour wait. the scaling plan is actually motivating instead of being some impossible carrot on a stick. their reset option after a breach is cheaper than buying a whole new eval. getting verified for a payout needed an id and a selfie, standard stuff, painless. this is the one i recommend when people ask where to start.

wanted a firm with a platform i already knew how to use. i never had to chase support, they actually closed my ticket teh same day. i hit up support on a saturday night fully expecting silence and someone replied in maybe ten minutes. the drawdown is calculated on balance not equity which honestly saved me a few times. the scaling lets you double your account size every time you clear a payout milestone. dude

Jumped in during a discount they were running over the holidays. support replied way faster than my actual broker which is kinda sad when you think about it. the profit split bumped up to 90 after i hit a couple targets and it felt earned. the platform let me set custom alerts which actually helped me stick to my risk plan. i like that the daily loss limit resets at a sane hour for my timezone. their server uptime during the last nfp was flawless from where i sat. withdrawal was instant and the support guy was actually friendly.

signed up after seeing them everywhere on twitter, figured why not. the payout actually hit my account in like two days which i did not expect. they let me trade through the cpi release without flagging my account which was a relief. you can request a payout any day once youre funded, no waiting for some fixed cycle. i got a small payout bonus for hitting a milestone which was unexpected. leverage is reasonable, not the reckless stuff that blows beginners up. clean dashboard, clean rules, clean payouts, genuinely impressed.
