Pros & Cons
Main Benefits
  • Up to 90% profit split, daily payouts from $250 with no minimum trading days, one-day Sim Funded stage before Live Brokerage, news trading allowed, up to 3 funded accounts per trader
  • Pay once per model with no monthly subscription; keep up to 90% of simulated profits; fast payouts (pro payout anytime, early payout after 10 days then every 3 days, 1 business day processing); end-of-day trailing drawdown judged on the daily close rather than intraday noise; no minimum trading days or time limit; trade on Tradovate, NinjaTrader or TradingView with a CQG data feed; broker-backed by TX3 Markets; $35M+ reportedly paid to 8,000+ traders.
Main Drawbacks
  • Evaluation plans auto-renew as a 30-day recurring subscription until passed or cancelled; reset fees apply per failed attempt; $5,000/day and $10,000/week profit caps trigger a mandatory Risk Review
  • TrustPilot score is a mediocre 3.3/5 across 4,303 reviews; recent reviews cite payout denials, frequent rule changes and a disruptive platform migration following the TopTier Trader rebrand; a 30% consistency rule on funded accounts can restrict withdrawals; some traders report cross-firm flagging and account bans.
