Pros & Cons
Main Benefits
  • Crypto prop firm with up to $200K funded accounts and a 70-90% profit split (70% start, +5% every 4 months to a 90% max). Daily payouts in USDT/USDC processed in 12-48 hours (first payout 1 day after the first funded trade, $100 minimum, no withdrawal fees), up to 1:100 leverage with no position-size restrictions, three funding paths (1-Step, 2-Step, and a monthly Subscription that resets on failure), trading on a Bybit demo connection or the proprietary Fondeo Terminal (TradingView charts, no API keys), plus an AI trading coach and a 4-month scaling path.
  • Direct exchange execution via Bybit (real order books), 700+ USDT perpetual pairs, fast crypto payouts in USDT/USDC within hours, challenge fee refunded with first payout, Cleo terminal alternative with Binance market data, up to $200K simulated capital, 1-Step or 2-Step evaluation, Fireblocks-secured payouts
Main Drawbacks
  • Young firm with a thin verified track record (TrustPilot profile claimed May 2025, only 8 reviews at 4.0, just 1 review in the last 12 months). The website prominently advertises a false 5.0 rating from 200+ reviews with templated stock testimonials that do not match its real TrustPilot profile. The homepage Account Rules table also contradicts the firm's own detailed rules docs on daily-drawdown and max-loss limits. Bots/automated trading and news trading are prohibited, and the registered US address (30 N Gould St, Sheridan, WY) is a common registered-agent address.
  • Mandatory stop-loss within 5 minutes on every trade, strict 3% per-trade risk cap, 40% single-day profit distribution cap during evaluation, no EUR/USD or USDC pairs, no Martingale/hedging across accounts, simulated capital (not real funds), legal entities registered in Slovakia despite Prague operational HQ
