Pros & Cons
Main Benefits
  • 3 live account types (Zero/Premium/Advanced), Maximum Loss Limit is EOD trailing and stops trailing once it reaches the starting balance (never resets to $0 on withdrawal), 90% flat profit split from day one on all plans, on-demand payouts up to 4x/month after 5 winning days of $200+, industry-large withdrawal caps (up to $15,000/request on Advanced), Zero plan has $0 activation fee permanently and no consistency rule on evaluation (can pass in 1 day)
  • Swiss-based prop firm (Arcadia Sàrl, CHE-433.761.958, Sion VS), futures-only on CME/COMEX/NYMEX/CBOT/EUREX, 90% profit split, daily payouts with no minimum trading days, EOD drawdown model, 30% consistency rule only during Q1/Q2 (none on funded), direct-to-funded option available, dxFeed and Rithmic data feeds, ATAS 100% free for 31 days on first purchase, account merger to scale capital, live broker partner Sweet Futures (US-regulated futures broker).
Main Drawbacks
  • Zero plan carries a 2% Daily Loss Guard on evaluation and a 40% consistency rule on the Qualified stage; Premium/Advanced Qualified accounts require a $149 one-time activation fee (Premium traders can instead pay a higher monthly evaluation rate to waive it); reset fees required to retry a failed evaluation; legacy Standard plan (tiered 70/80/90% split) was retired May 1, 2026 and is no longer for sale
  • New firm (launched Feb 2026), no TrustPilot profile yet, French-first website (English available), futures-only (no forex/CFD/stocks/options/crypto), Arcadia Sàrl acts only as technical intermediary (not a regulated investment service provider), no right of withdrawal/refund after digital service activation per Swiss law, all positions must close before session end (no overnight holds on intraday accounts), hedging prohibited.
