JoinX Capital Review: Plans, Rules, and How It Compares
JoinX Capital
JoinX Capital is the trading brand of JoinX Hub Ltd., a company registered in Montenegro under registration number 03407373, with a registered office at Kralja Nikole 27A/4, 81000 Podgorica. It sells simulated prop-trading evaluations covering forex, stocks, ETFs and cryptocurrency at leverage of up to 1:100. The firm publishes three programs on a single pricing widget: a 1 Step Challenge, a 2 Steps Challenge, and a Special Offers tab holding a Crypto Challenge alongside a free trial. Trading takes place in a browser terminal inside the JoinX User Area, supplied under white label by Antelope Systems Limited of Nicosia, Cyprus, so no MT4 or MT5 installation is required. Its homepage advertises getting "funded up to $500,000 in trading power", though the largest plan actually purchasable on the pricing widget is $100K. We could not establish a founding date for the company from any source we checked, so none is stated here.
This review is built from the firm's own live pricing widget, its Terms and Conditions of Business, its FAQ page, and its TrustPilot profile, all read on 2 September 2026.
Plans and pricing
JoinX Capital publishes ten paid plans across three programs, plus a free trial. The 1 Step Challenge has a single evaluation stage: a 10% profit target, 3 minimum trading days, 7% maximum overall loss and 4% maximum daily loss, with a 70% profit split on the funded step at every size. The 2 Steps Challenge runs a 5% target in Step 1 and an 8% target in Step 2, with 8% maximum overall loss and 5% maximum daily loss throughout. The Crypto Challenge sits on the Special Offers tab, runs at 1:10 leverage rather than 1:100, and is the only program with a time limit.
| Program | Account size | Price | Profit target | Max daily loss | Max overall loss | Profit split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Step Challenge | $10K | $129 | 10% | 4% | 7% | 70% |
| 1 Step Challenge | $25K | $249 | 10% | 4% | 7% | 70% |
| 1 Step Challenge | $50K | $359 | 10% | 4% | 7% | 70% |
| 2 Steps Challenge | $5K | $59 | 5% then 8% | 5% | 8% | 50% |
| 2 Steps Challenge | $10K | $99 | 5% then 8% | 5% | 8% | 70% |
| 2 Steps Challenge | $25K | $199 | 5% then 8% | 5% | 8% | 80% |
| 2 Steps Challenge | $50K | $299 | 5% then 8% | 5% | 8% | 80% |
| 2 Steps Challenge | $100K | $499 | 5% then 8% | 5% | 8% | 80% |
| Crypto Challenge | $10K | $112 | 8% then 12% | 4% | 8% | 70% |
| Crypto Challenge | $50K | $262 | 8% then 12% | 4% | 8% | 80% |
Evaluation duration is unlimited on both the 1 Step and 2 Steps programs, at every account size and on the funded step. The Crypto Challenge is time-boxed instead: Step 1 runs 15 Days on the $10K and 20 Days on the $50K, Step 2 runs 30 Days on both, and the funded step is unlimited. Minimum trading days on the funded step rise with account size on the 2 Steps program, from 3 Days at $5K and $10K to 4 Days at $25K and $50K, and 5 Days at $100K.
There is also a genuinely free entry route. The Free Trial is a $5K account priced at $0, with a 5% profit target, 12% maximum overall loss and 10% maximum daily loss. The firm's FAQ states that a trader can "Pass Step 1 for free, unlock Step 2 for only $9.9", after which passing the challenge and KYC makes them eligible for a funded $5K account.
Trading rules
Drawdown is static. The maximum total drawdown is measured against the initial account balance, at 7% on the 1 Step Challenge and 8% on the 2 Steps and Crypto Challenges, rather than against a trailing high-water mark. Maximum leverage is 1:100 on the forex programs and 1:10 on the Crypto Challenge.
A consistency rule applies during evaluation. The Terms and Conditions state at clause 4.10 ii that the company reserves the right to reject trades or deny the successful completion of a challenge if the total profit from a single trade or a single trading day exceeds 35% of the total profit target. Copy trading, hedging and martingale strategies are not permitted. News trading is not banned outright; what is forbidden under clause 8.1 f is gap trading, meaning opening trades when major news or earnings are scheduled, and within 2 hours of a relevant market closing for 2 hours or longer. Ordinary scalping is likewise permitted, while clauses 8.1 i and j forbid tick scalping, strategies relying on data latency or feed errors, high-frequency trading and latency arbitrage. Overnight positions are allowed and are charged swap, at triple the usual rate on certain days. For some challenge types traders may be required to close positions before Friday 5:00 PM ET, with a weekend add-on available for purchase. Payouts are stated as bi-weekly.
JoinX Capital's homepage and its how-it-works page both advertise keeping "up to 90% of simulated profits". No plan table published on the pricing widget exceeds 80%, and the entry-level 2 Steps $5K plan pays 50%. The FAQ page gives a third figure again, describing the split as varying between 50% and 90% by account size. We record the highest verifiable figure, 80%, because that is what the plan tables actually print.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Evaluation duration is unlimited on both the 1 Step and 2 Steps programs, at every account size, so there is no calendar deadline to trade against.
- A free $5K entry route exists that requires no card, with Step 2 unlocking for $9.9, and the entry-level paid plan starts at $59.
- Drawdown is static and measured against the initial balance, which is simpler to track than a trailing drawdown, and the browser terminal removes any MT4 or MT5 installation step.
Cons
- The advertised profit split of up to 90% is not matched by any published plan table, which cap at 80%, and the FAQ contradicts both.
- The FAQ also publishes drawdown figures that contradict the pricing tables, giving a 10% maximum total drawdown and a daily limit of 6.5% or 7.5% by size for the 2 Steps program, where the pricing widget prints 8% and 5%.
- The footer links to the terms and conditions page and the contact page both return a 404, and the funded account is issued not by JoinX but by an unrelated third party, Volanza AG, whose profit-split annex is not published. Challenge fees are non-refundable.
How it compares
Comparing at the same size and structure is the fairest test, so the table below uses each firm's 2-step $100K plan. JoinX Capital's $499 sits inside the range these established CFD firms occupy, so its pricing is not an outlier in either direction. Where it differs is the split and the evidence base behind it.
| Firm | 2-step $100K price | Profit split | TrustPilot |
|---|---|---|---|
| JoinX Capital | $499 | 80% | 4.2 from 24 reviews |
| Funding Pips | $422 Pro, $499 Flex, $522 Standard | 80% Pro, 85% Flex, up to 100% Standard | 4.5 from 67,250 reviews |
| FTMO | $439 | Up to 90% | 4.8 from 50,724 reviews |
| The5ers | $545 | 80% to 100% | 4.7 from 36,395 reviews |
On price, JoinX Capital is close to the middle of this group: more than FTMO's $439 and Funding Pips' $422 Pro plan, less than The5ers' $545, and identical to Funding Pips' $499 Flex plan. On profit split its 80% is at or below every comparison here, since all three of the others publish a route to 90% or 100%. The largest gap is not commercial but evidential. Funding Pips, FTMO and The5ers each carry tens of thousands of TrustPilot reviews, while JoinX Capital's profile was claimed in May 2026 and holds 24. A rating of 4.2 from 24 reviews is a much thinner basis for judgement than 4.8 from 50,724, and TrustPilot itself notes on the JoinX profile that the company has not replied to negative reviews. Traders comparing these firms should weigh the sample size, not just the score.
Verdict
JoinX Capital is a competently packaged offering whose pricing is in line with established CFD firms and whose unlimited evaluation duration and static drawdown are genuinely trader-friendly structural choices. The free $5K route with a $9.9 unlock is one of the cheaper ways to reach a funded simulated account that we have recorded.
It suits traders who want no calendar pressure on an evaluation, who prefer a browser terminal to an MT5 installation, and who want to test a firm before paying much. Traders who select a firm primarily on headline profit split should note that the 90% figure on the homepage is not supported by any published plan table, and that at $5K the split is 50%. Anyone who treats a long public review history as a precondition should also note that this is a firm with 24 reviews and a profile claimed in May 2026. The two 404 links in the footer and the fact that the funded account is contracted through Volanza AG rather than JoinX itself are worth reading closely before purchase.
