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.
  • Flat 90% profit split from the first dollar with no threshold or tiers; single-phase evaluation with no minimum trading days; soft-breach system closes the offending trade instead of the account (two soft breaches before a hard breach); crypto, CFD and futures under one firm; no minimum payout size.
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.
  • Trailing end-of-day drawdown on both the evaluation and the funded account; a hard 30% consistency rule on funded accounts (40% on Rapid); recurring monthly management fee per funded account; futures accounts are intraday only with no hedging; evaluation fees are non-refundable; the site's own pages disagree on the operating jurisdiction (Saint Lucia in the imprint, UAE in the FAQ).
