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.
  • Day-one payouts with no buffer on Quick Pay, Fast Pass funded in 3 days, over $10M in verified payouts since 2020, no activation fee, multiple funded accounts allowed, free ebook library
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.
  • Monthly subscription pricing (recurring), trailing drawdown calculated intraday (strict), 30% consistency rule, limited to 50K/100K/150K account sizes only
