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.
  • Multiple models (Rapid 1-Step, Ascend 2-Step, Instant Funding); no time limit on evaluations; on-demand payouts; up to 100% profit split with scaling; funded capital up to $500,000; 48-hour Payout Guarantee.
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.
  • SFX Protect closes funded accounts on a 2% floating loss (1% for $300K/$400K Instant) - stricter than the advertised daily limit; 85-100% split starts below the headline 100%; TrustPilot rating suppressed for a guidelines breach.
