Pros & Cons
Main Benefits
  • 90% profit split, instant payouts, no activation fee, pass in as little as 2 days, Chicago-based since 2010
  • Complete trading freedom: no strategy restrictions, no scaling limits, no news trading restrictions, no weekly loss limits. End-of-Day drawdown only (no trailing drawdown). Profit split starts at 80% and scales to 90% on live funded accounts. No recurring monthly fees once funded.
Main Drawbacks
  • Trailing max loss limit (not static daily DD), TrustPilot rating 3.6, monthly subscription billing
  • Monthly subscription fee during evaluation ($59-$199/month) that auto-renews until you pass. Daily Consistency Rate (DCR) must be 50% or lower to qualify for funding. Payout is capped at 50% of profit and $5,000 per payout. Plan type (No-Activation-Fee vs With-Activation-Fee) is final and cannot be switched later.
