Astrofund Review: Plans, Rules, and How It Compares

Astrofund is a futures proprietary trading firm operated by Astrofund LLC, based in the United States. Traders demonstrate their trading on a simulated account and earn performance-based payouts on a simulated funded account. The firm sells two routes to a funded account: the Evaluation Flight Path, a one-step evaluation that carries no daily loss limit, and the Direct Flight Path, which starts funded from day one under a hard daily drawdown limit. Both are a one-time fee with no subscription and no activation fee. Accounts trade CME Group futures across equity indices, energy, metals, FX, agriculture, interest rates and crypto, and payouts carry a 90% profit split processed through Rise. This review covers the six purchasable plans, the rules that govern them, and how the pricing sits against three comparable futures firms in our database.

Plans and pricing

Astrofund sells three account sizes on each of its two paths, giving six purchasable plans. Every plan carries a 90% profit split and a $0 activation fee. The figures below are the firm's regular prices.

The two paths price the same account size very differently. A 25K account costs $99 through the evaluation and $249 direct, a 50K costs $149 against $399, and a 100K costs $239 against $599. The Direct Flight Path is the more expensive route at every size, and in exchange the trader skips the evaluation stage and starts on a funded account immediately. The profit target on the evaluation becomes an initial profit milestone on the Direct path, which unlocks the first payout rather than unlocking funding.

The trade-off between the two paths is not only price. The Evaluation Flight Path carries no daily loss limit at all, while every Direct plan imposes one: $550 on the 25K, $1,100 on the 50K and $2,200 on the 100K. The consistency requirement also differs, at 35% during the evaluation against 20% on a funded Direct account. Resets are available on the evaluation at $60 on the 25K, $100 on the 50K and $165 on the 100K, capped at three resets per evaluation.

Checked on 2026-08-20, all three Evaluation plans were discounted to $49, $74 and $119 respectively. Promotional pricing changes without notice, so the regular prices above are the durable figures.

Rules summary

The maximum loss limit on both paths is an end-of-day trailing drawdown. On a funded account it locks at the starting balance plus $100 after the first payout and stops trailing from that point. On the Direct Flight Path the buffer is always drawdown plus $100.

There is no time limit to pass the evaluation and no time limit on a Direct account. An account that is breached and not reset, or that is traded fewer than 10 trading days in a month, is removed after 30 days.

Accounts are intraday only. All positions must be closed by 4:45 PM EST each trading day, and overnight positions are not permitted. Weekend holding is not permitted either. Within the session, the rules are permissive: news trading is allowed on all accounts including during major releases such as NFP, FOMC and CPI, automated strategies are allowed, and copy trading is allowed. Scalping is permitted provided trades are taken in good faith, but micro-scalping is prohibited, defined as more than 50% of profit coming from trades held five seconds or less.

The consistency rule during the evaluation states that no single trading day's profit may exceed 35% of total profit at the point the target is reached. A funded account reached through the evaluation carries no consistency rule. A Direct account requires that the largest single trading day's profit is no more than 20% of net profit for the current withdrawal period.

Payouts

Payouts are on demand with a 90% profit split and a $100 minimum withdrawal, processed through Rise. Withdrawal requests are reviewed manually, with approval typically taking up to 2 to 3 business days after submission and processing through Rise taking a typical 2 business days. Identity verification is carried out once, at the first payout, requiring a government-issued ID and proof of address through Riseworks.

The two paths gate payouts differently. On the Evaluation Flight Path a trader needs five winning days accumulated since the last payout, where a winning day means an end-of-day profit at or above the tier minimum of $100 on the 25K, $200 on the 50K and $300 on the 100K. On the Direct Flight Path the first payout unlocks on reaching the initial profit milestone, after which each further payout requires holding the buffer and meeting the 20% consistency rule.

Pros and cons

Pros

• The Evaluation Flight Path carries no daily loss limit and no time limit to pass, so a single losing session does not end the evaluation.
• All six plans carry a 90% profit split, a $0 activation fee and a $100 minimum withdrawal.
• News trading, automated strategies and copy trading are all permitted.

Cons

• Accounts are intraday only, with all positions closed by 4:45 PM EST and no overnight or weekend holding.
• Total payouts per funded account are capped, at $4,000 on a 25K evaluation account and $3,000 on a 25K Direct account, with up to four payouts per account.
• The TrustPilot rating of 3.8 is drawn from only 2 reviews, which is too small a sample to read as a reliable signal either way.

How it compares

Astrofund's 25k Evaluation at $99 sits in a crowded part of the futures market. Three comparable firms in our database price a similar one-step product in the same band.

Firm	Plan	Price	Structure	Profit target	Max loss limit	Daily loss limit	Profit split	TrustPilot
Astrofund	25k Evaluation	$99	1 Step	$1,500	$1,000 EOD trailing	None	90%	3.8
Tradeify	Growth $25K	$99	1 Step	$1,500	$1,000 EOD trailing	$600	90%	4.6
Funded Futures Family	Premier+ (EOD Drawdown)	$119	1 Step	$1,500	$750 End Of Day	None	100% on first $10,000, then 90%	4.7
Alpha Futures	Evaluation	$119	Subscription	$3,000	$2,000 EOD Trailing	$1,000	90%	4.9

Tradeify's Growth $25K is the closest structural match at the same $99 price, with an identical $1,500 profit target, an identical $1,000 end-of-day trailing maximum loss limit and the same 90% profit split. The distinguishing difference is the daily loss limit: Tradeify applies one at $600, and Astrofund's evaluation applies none. For a trader whose strategy occasionally produces a large single-day drawdown, that is the meaningful line between the two.

Funded Futures Family's Premier+ plan also carries no daily loss limit and reaches the same $1,500 profit target, at $119 against Astrofund's $99, but it does so on a tighter $750 end-of-day maximum loss limit. It also pays 100% on the first $10,000 of profit before moving to 90%. Alpha Futures is priced at $119 for a larger target of $3,000 against a $2,000 maximum loss limit, and is structured as a subscription rather than a one-time fee, which makes it a different commitment rather than a direct substitute.

On third-party reputation the comparison is less favourable to Astrofund, which carries a 3.8 TrustPilot rating against 4.6, 4.7 and 4.9 for the three peers. That said, Astrofund's score rests on 2 reviews, so the gap reflects a lack of accumulated feedback rather than a body of negative feedback.

Verdict

Astrofund is built for intraday futures traders who can close every position by 4:45 PM EST and who want an evaluation without a daily loss limit or a deadline. The Evaluation Flight Path at $99, $149 and $239 is competitively priced against comparable one-step futures products, and the permissive rule set around news trading, automation and copy trading widens the range of strategies that fit.

The constraints are equally clear. The intraday-only requirement rules out any strategy needing overnight exposure. The per-account payout caps of $4,000 to $10,000 mean a consistently profitable trader will exhaust an account and need to buy another. And with only 2 TrustPilot reviews on file, there is not yet enough independent trading history to judge how the firm performs at the payout stage. Traders who value a proven payout record over pricing may prefer a firm with a longer public track record; traders prioritising a no-daily-loss-limit evaluation at a low one-time fee will find the Evaluation Flight Path directly addresses that.
