Main Benefits
One evaluation and no second test: ONYX operates a single phase, with no buffer and no funded stage between passing and a live account. Accounts are sold for a one-time fee with no subscription or monthly billing. The trader's share of net profits is 90 percent, and a withdrawal can be requested on any day with no minimum number of days between requests, no cap on the amount, a $100 minimum and a decision from a person within 24 hours, paid by ACH or bank wire. Every tier can be bought on either a Static drawdown that is a fixed floor and never moves, or an end-of-day drawdown that trails at the close and never locks. The firm's own evaluation rules stop at the evaluation: on the live account there is no consistency rule, no minimum trading days, no news restriction, and overnight, weekend and automated trading are all permitted, with only an optional personal daily loss limit the trader sets. A reset is a flat fee at every size, $89 on Static and $79 on EOD. Execution and market data run on Rithmic.
Main Drawbacks
The trader is not the account holder. The live account is opened at a futures commission merchant in ONYX's own name with ONYX capital, and is traded under a limited power of attorney, so the trader has no ownership of, title to, or claim against the account or its balance; the entitlement is contractual only. No live account opens until documentation including that power of attorney is returned and accepted, and placement is also subject to the broker accepting it. The evaluation itself is stricter than the live account: a daily loss limit of 40 percent of the drawdown, a 35 percent consistency rule and a 5 day minimum. Products are sized by drawdown, from $1,000 to $3,000; the 25k to 100k figures shown beside them are the firm's own approximate industry equivalence and are not an account balance. Express to Live is limited to 6 active accounts and $6,000 of combined drawdown. All fees are non-refundable once trading credentials are issued, and identity verification plus a W-9 or W-8BEN must be on file before a first withdrawal is released. Payouts are not sent in cryptocurrency. ONYX may close the live account, reduce it, or withdraw the authority to trade it under the documentation the trader signs.

Complete bait & switch scam. They enroll users in accounts and then switch the accounts - then claiming the legacy accounts are no longer eligible for payouts. Frequently deny payouts to other users.

Tradara
Onyx Futures (ONYX) is a simulated futures evaluation firm operated by Onyx Futures LLC, an Illinois limited liability company, under the laws of the State of Illinois. Evaluations run in a simulated environment on paper-trading accounts on the Rithmic platform and are sold for a one-time fee, with no recurring subscription and no monthly billing. The current product is Express to Live; the earlier Sapphire, Flex and Gold tracks are legacy and closed to new purchase. ONYX operates one phase: an evaluation, and on passing it a live account, with no buffer, no funded stage and no second test. That live account is a real brokerage account at a futures commission merchant, held in ONYX's name and funded with ONYX's own capital, which the trader operates under a limited power of attorney rather than as the account holder. The trader's share of net profits is 90 percent, with ONYX retaining 10 percent. A withdrawal may be requested on any day with no minimum number of days between requests, no cap on the amount and a $100 minimum, and every request is reviewed by a person and approved within 24 hours, paid by ACH or bank wire and not in cryptocurrency. The evaluation carries a daily loss limit of 40 percent of the drawdown; the live account has no forced daily loss limit, only an optional one the trader sets and Rithmic enforces at the broker. Accounts run on a Static or end-of-day drawdown, Express to Live is limited to 6 active accounts and $6,000 in combined drawdown, and a reset is a flat $89 on Static or $79 on EOD. Traders can connect through Tradara, the Onyx Platform or Quantower.
