Pros & Cons
Main Benefits
  • Fully published catalog: price, profit target, drawdown, withdrawal buffer, consistency, minimum payout and payout cap are listed per plan on /plans and /faq before checkout. One-time fee with no activation fee (the funded account is created automatically on passing). Real-time passing on unrealized P&L: the evaluation passes the moment balance plus open P&L touches the target. EOD-only drawdown with no daily loss limit. Overnight and weekday swing holds allowed (no forced 3:45 PM Eastern close). News trading, scalping, EAs/bots and copy trading permitted. 80% profit split with a 90/10 add-on. Live average payout time of 1 hr 19 min displayed on the homepage with dated payout certificates (most recent 2026-08-03). Free Onyx web platform plus Rithmic data fees covered by the firm. A documented path from sim-funded to a live Ironbeam sub-account after 4 payout cycles. TrustPilot 4.5 from 42 reviews.
  • 90% profit split, instant payouts, no activation fee, pass in as little as 2 days, Chicago-based since 2010
Main Drawbacks
  • Very new company: Michigan LLC created 2025-09-19 and the TrustPilot profile was only claimed in November 2025, so there is a short track record. Weekend holding is not included, it requires a paid add-on ($16.35 to $194.85 depending on plan). Hedging is banned, including offsetting mini/micro pairs and opposing positions in correlated index complexes. Payout caps are per plan and low relative to account size ($1,000 to $5,000 per payout) with a $500 minimum and a biweekly default frequency. TrueRisk Instant Funded plans require a 120% withdrawal buffer. Live capital is capped at a combined $10,000 and you cannot hold sim-funded accounts while a live account is open. Maximum 5 funded accounts. The firm is not regulated by any financial authority and states it is not a broker, FCM, CTA or exchange. Payout methods are not published on any public page. Available account rules are described as catalog-defined and the checkout summary and account agreement are stated to override the marketing pages.
  • Trailing max loss limit (not static daily DD), TrustPilot rating 3.6, monthly subscription billing
