Orion Funded Review 2026: Plans, Rules, and Payouts
Orion Funded is a proprietary trading firm established in 2023 and registered in Saint Lucia, offering CFD evaluations on MT5 and Match Trader. It runs five separate programs rather than a single evaluation ladder: Orion Zero (instant funding), Orion Nova (one phase), Orion Lite (1-step), Orion Standard (2-step) and Orion Select (3-step). Every program pays the same 80% reward split, runs with an unlimited trading period, and settles payouts on a bi-weekly cycle. Account sizes run from $5,000 to $200,000. Our record shows a TrustPilot score of 4.6 from 1,725 reviews. One point matters before any of the numbers below: Orion states on its own site that all accounts it provides are demo accounts with fictitious funds, and that trading takes place in a simulated environment.
Programs and pricing
Orion updated its lineup with a release it calls V3, and the practical result is that the five programs differ from one another on price, profit target and drawdown rather than on capital alone. The table below lists every account size and price currently published on the five program pages, checked on 11 August 2026.
| Account size | Orion Lite (1-step) | Orion Standard (2-step) | Orion Select (3-step) | Orion Nova (1 phase) | Orion Zero (instant) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | $39 | $49 | $59 | $69 | $199 |
| $10,000 | $59 | $99 | $89 | $109 | $349 |
| $25,000 | $129 | $209 | $179 | $209 | $499 |
| $50,000 | $59 | $329 | $299 | $349 | $799 |
| $100,000 | $449 | $629 | $409 | $669 | $1149 |
| $200,000 | $799 | $1149 | $739 | $1099 | Not offered |
Orion Nova is priced differently from the rest. Its cards read "Start for $7", with the remaining balance of the plan price due after the evaluation is passed, so a $100,000 Nova account opens for $7 and carries a $669 full price. Orion Zero is the instant-funding route and is the only program without an evaluation phase, which is reflected in its pricing: $1,149 for a $100,000 account against $409 for the same capital on the 3-step program. Orion Zero is also the only program that stops at $100,000 rather than $200,000.
The 1-step program page lists the $50,000 account at $59, which is lower than the $25,000 account at $129 on the same page and equal to the $10,000 account. We record prices as published, and this is what the page showed on 11 August 2026. Confirm the figure at checkout before purchasing, since it does not follow the ladder of the sizes around it.
Rules and trading objectives
Drawdown is where the five programs separate, and the differences are large enough that picking a program on price alone would be a mistake. Orion Lite, the 1-step route, sets a 10% profit target with a 3% maximum total loss and a 6% maximum daily loss. Orion Standard, the 2-step route, asks 6% in each of its two phases against a 3% maximum daily loss and a 6% maximum total loss. Orion Select, the 3-step route, is the mildest on targets and the strictest on total loss: 5% in each of three phases, with both the daily and the total loss limits set at 5%. Orion Nova asks a single 4% target against an 8% maximum total loss, the most generous total drawdown in the lineup, and does not publish a daily loss limit. Orion Zero, having no evaluation, publishes a 3% maximum daily loss and a 6% maximum total loss on the funded account itself.
Several rules apply across the range. The trading period is unlimited on every program, and Orion states that no minimum number of trading days is required on the 2-step and 3-step programs. News trading is allowed and maximum leverage is 1:100. There is one consistency condition worth reading carefully: on the 1-step and 2-step program pages, Orion applies a rule under which no single day may represent more than 30% of a trader's total profits. A trader who makes the bulk of a target in one session can therefore satisfy the profit figure without satisfying the rule, which is a common reason for a passing balance to be rejected.
On payouts, Orion advertises a bi-weekly cycle and a 48-hour reward guarantee: if the firm misses the 48-hour processing deadline, it states the trader receives a 100% reward split plus a full refund of the evaluation fee. Note also that the Orion shop now sits behind an account login at app.orionfunded.com, so plan terms have to be read on the public program pages before registering.
Pros and cons
Advantages
- Entry pricing starts at $39 for a $5,000 1-step account, and the 3-step program at $409 for $100,000 is priced below several established CFD firms.
- The 80% reward split is identical across all five programs, so choosing a cheaper route does not reduce the split.
- Unlimited trading periods across every program, with no mandatory minimum trading days on the 2-step and 3-step routes.
Drawbacks
- Funded accounts are simulated with fictitious funds rather than live capital, which Orion discloses on its own pages.
- The 30% single-day consistency condition on the 1-step and 2-step programs can block a payout on an otherwise passing account.
- The firm is registered in Saint Lucia, which carries limited regulatory oversight, and some traders have reported payout denials citing coordinated-trading or rule-violation allegations on larger withdrawals.
How it compares
Measured at the $100,000 size, Orion's cheapest route is the 3-step program at $409. That places it inside a narrow band occupied by several long-established CFD firms, so the comparison comes down to split, track record and rule structure rather than price.
| Firm | Cheapest $100K plan | Profit split | TrustPilot |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orion Funded | $409 | 80% | 4.6 (1,725 reviews) |
| Alpha Capital Group | $397 | 80% | 4.7 (18,792 reviews) |
| Funding Pips | $399 | 80-100% | 4.5 (62,062 reviews) |
| FTMO | $439 | Up to 90% | 4.8 (42,594 reviews) |
Alpha Capital Group undercuts Orion by $12 at the $100,000 size and matches its 80% split, with a TrustPilot score of 4.7 across 18,792 reviews. 
Funding Pips is $10 cheaper and publishes a split range of 80-100%, on 62,062 reviews. 
FTMO is $30 more expensive at $439 and lists a split of up to 90%, with 4.8 from 42,594 reviews. The pattern is consistent: Orion is priced in line with this group and matches them on split, but its 1,725 reviews represent a far shorter public record than the three firms above, each of which is rated on tens of thousands of reviews.
Where Orion does differ structurally is choice. Most firms in this price band offer one or two evaluation routes; Orion publishes five, including an instant-funding option and a $7 entry on Nova. For a trader who wants a specific drawdown profile, such as an 8% total loss allowance or a 5% symmetric limit, the range makes that selectable without changing firms.
Verdict
Orion Funded suits traders who want to pick a drawdown profile rather than accept a single house rule set, and who are comfortable with a simulated funded account. The 80% split holds across all five programs, entry pricing is low at the small sizes, and $409 for a $100,000 3-step evaluation is competitive against firms charging $397 to $439 for comparable capital. The trade-offs are specific and knowable: a 30% single-day consistency condition on two of the five programs, registration in a jurisdiction with limited oversight, and a review base an order of magnitude smaller than the established firms it is priced against. Traders who intend to reach a target in a small number of large sessions should read the consistency condition before choosing the 1-step or 2-step route, since it governs payout eligibility independently of the profit figure.
All prices, targets and drawdown figures in this review were read from Orion Funded's published program pages on 11 August 2026: the Orion Zero, Orion Nova, 1-step, 2-step and 3-step pages.
