Pros & Cons
Main Benefits
  • On-demand payouts. Up to 100% profit split. No time limit on challenges.
  • Multi-asset firm offering Forex (MT5, Match-Trader, A-Trader), Futures (Project X — currently suspended pending NinjaTrader/Tradevate/TradingView migration), and Crypto trading from one account. Five distinct Forex programs: Instant Standard (no eval, 80% split), Instant Pro (no eval, faster payouts), 1 Phase, 2 Phase Flex, 2 Phase Pro. Account sizes from $5K to $300K (Forex) / $50K-$150K (Futures Starter & Pro). 24h payout guarantee with $1,000 bonus if late. Futures Starter pays 100% of first $10,000 in profits, then 90/10 split. Up to 90% profit split with add-ons. Wise integration with 15 payment options + crypto USDT (ERC-20). 24/7 support. Founded by Cue Banks (Quillan Roberto Black) and Anthony Williams — both established Forex trader-educators with large public followings. TrustPilot 3.6/5 across 4,299 reviews; claimed profile with paid Trustpilot subscription; company replies to 100% of negative reviews.
Main Drawbacks
  • Originally London UK, now Dubai UAE. 3-Step challenges have low profit potential.
  • Futures product line currently disabled — homepage states 'Purchasing Futures Challenges is temporarily disabled as Project X is no longer working with Propfirms' (May 2026); migration to NinjaTrader, Tradovate, and TradingView is in progress. Pricing widget is JS state-driven with up to 25 Forex combinations (5 sizes x 5 challenge types) plus platform selection (MT5 / Match-Trader / A-Trader) — only the default-selected combination ($100K Instant Standard A-Trader at $475) is reliably captured by static scrapers. TrustPilot rating 3.6 with 'mixed' summary: positive payout/customer-service mentions balanced against multiple reports of denied payouts and rules not being explained well. Strict consistency rules (40-50% best-day cap on funded accounts, 15% on Instant Standard, 10% on Instant Pro). Long restricted-countries list (33 countries on Futures, 18 on Forex including Afghanistan, Belarus, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Russia, Syria, Venezuela; Vietnam restricted effective March 2026). TX3 Funding FZCO is not registered with SEC, CFTC, FINRA, NFA, ESMA, DFSA or any regulator — operates solely as a simulated-trading provider. Dispute resolution by Dubai International Arbitration Centre or AAA Miami (US users).
