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.
  • Binding FAQ publishes a full rulebook. Drawdowns are static and do not trail: 4% daily and 10% maximum from the initial balance. No time limit on the evaluation and no separate profit-consistency rule on the 2-Step Challenge. Crypto payouts start at 100 USD with no fee. TrustPilot 4.5 from 99 reviews. The Pay Later Challenge costs nothing upfront: the fee falls due only after you pass.
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.
  • Automated trading is banned outright: no EAs, bots or scripts, and copy trading between different individuals is prohibited. News trading and weekend holding are both forbidden on the 2-Step Challenge. The headline 100% reward rate and 14-day payout cycle are paid add-ons; the defaults are 80% and every 21 exchange days. Fees are charged in EUR, and the first two payouts are capped.
