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.
  • One-step evaluation with a 10% target, 4 minimum trading days and no time limit. Static drawdown that never trails. Evaluation fee 100% refunded with the first Performance Payment. Instant Access tiers skip the evaluation entirely. 2,500+ US stocks and ETFs alongside forex, crypto, indices and commodities. Every package bundles education: self-study courses, Foundations, a live trading room and personal coaching on the higher tiers.
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.
  • The fee buys an education bundle plus a simulated account, not a plain evaluation, and Instant Access tiers run $445 to $7,975. TrustPilot has removed the rating for a breach of its guidelines. Scalping and HFT are banned outright (any trade under two minutes counts as HFT), as are copy trading and hedging. Payouts are monthly only, capped at $15,000 a month, with no on-demand withdrawal. No named third-party platform: the terminal is a white-label the firm buys in.
