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.
  • Binding FAQ publishes a full rulebook. Drawdowns are static and do not trail: 4% daily and 10% maximum from the initial balance. No time limit on the evaluation and no separate profit-consistency rule on the 2-Step Challenge. Crypto payouts start at 100 USD with no fee. TrustPilot 4.5 from 99 reviews. The Pay Later Challenge costs nothing upfront: the fee falls due only after you pass.
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.
  • Automated trading is banned outright: no EAs, bots or scripts, and copy trading between different individuals is prohibited. News trading and weekend holding are both forbidden on the 2-Step Challenge. The headline 100% reward rate and 14-day payout cycle are paid add-ons; the defaults are 80% and every 21 exchange days. Fees are charged in EUR, and the first two payouts are capped.
