Pros & Cons
Main Benefits
  • 80% profit split with a 4th-withdrawal performance-fee bonus. Two payout methods: Bi-Weekly (every 14 days, $100 min) or On-Demand (request anytime once the consistency and 2% profit thresholds are met). Hedging and stacking allowed within one account. Risk-management EAs permitted on MT5. Weekend/overnight holding allowed on Swing, One and Three plans and during Pro evaluation phases.
  • No consistency rule on any account path. Static (non-trailing) drawdown measured from the starting balance. Daily payout requests on Cobra Venom accounts. Martingale, grid, news trading, weekend holding and partial closes are all explicitly permitted. Entry from a $14 one-time fee. Every rule that can breach an account is published on a single rules page.
Main Drawbacks
  • Weekend holding triggers a soft breach (profit removal) on Pro funded (Qualified Analyst) accounts. EAs limited to risk-management tools only - no fully automated strategies, HFT or latency arbitrage (immediate account closure). Cross-account hedging and group trading with identical EAs are prohibited. On-demand payouts require passing the 40% Best Day consistency rule plus a minimum 2% gross profit.
  • Expert Advisors and automated trading are prohibited; trading must be placed manually and copy trading is reviewed before payout. On accounts opened from 20 August 2026 hedging the same instrument is prohibited and open trades losing more than 1.5% of the account at once breach it. A single trade counts toward at most 60% of the withdrawal target, so profit above that cap is removed at close. The firm publishes no legal entity, registered address or jurisdiction anywhere on its site. The TrustPilot profile is unclaimed and carries payout-denial complaints alongside its positive reviews.
