Pros & Cons
Main Benefits
  • Up to 100% profit share. No time limit on challenges. Free CTI Academy access with every program. Funded accounts scale up to $4M.
  • 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
  • No 3-Step challenge option (only 1-Step, 2-Step, and Instant Funding are offered). Instant Funding Pro tier requires a $5,000 minimum starting balance.
  • 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.
