Main Benefits
One-step evaluation with a 10% target, 4 minimum trading days and no time limit. Static drawdown that never trails. Evaluation fee 100% refunded with the first Performance Payment. Instant Access tiers skip the evaluation entirely. 2,500+ US stocks and ETFs alongside forex, crypto, indices and commodities. Every package bundles education: self-study courses, Foundations, a live trading room and personal coaching on the higher tiers.
Main Drawbacks
The fee buys an education bundle plus a simulated account, not a plain evaluation, and Instant Access tiers run $445 to $7,975. TrustPilot has removed the rating for a breach of its guidelines. Scalping and HFT are banned outright (any trade under two minutes counts as HFT), as are copy trading and hedging. Payouts are monthly only, capped at $15,000 a month, with no on-demand withdrawal. No named third-party platform: the terminal is a white-label the firm buys in.

TEFS (Trading Education & Funded Services) is a proprietary trading platform operated by TEFS Marketing Management L.L.C, a company registered under License number 1442391 in Dubai, UAE. What TEFS sells is an education package bundled with a simulated trading account, not a bare evaluation fee: every plan on both product lines includes a Self Study Course, a Self Study Crypto Course, Foundations, a DEMO training account and a Live Trading Room, and the Instant Access tiers add Personal Coaching, Tactical Edge and the Crypto and Forex Star Trader courses. Two product lines are sold. Challenges are one-step evaluations from $5,000 to $200,000 of buying power, priced $55 to $969, requiring a 10% simulated profit target over a minimum of 4 trading days with no deadline, inside a static 6% maximum drawdown and a 4% maximum daily loss. Instant Access skips the evaluation and grants buying power of $12,500 to $210,000 for $445 to $7,975 with a maximum drawdown only. All trading is simulated on live market data with no direct or indirect market access, and the platform itself is a white-label solution TEFS buys from a third party. Traders are compensated as independent contractors through monthly Service Payments.

Additional payout notes
Service Payments are requested in USD but may be delivered in EUR at TEFS' discretion, in which case currency conversion rates may apply. TEFS may split a payment into installments at intervals of up to two working days. Simulated Performance accrued between the 1st of the Payment Month and the payment date does not accrue to the trader, and losses in that window are deducted.

Additional rules
No third-party trading platform is named anywhere on the site: TEFS buys the order-execution technology and terminal from a third party as a white-label solution, so 'platforms' is recorded as not published. Expert Advisors are not blanket-permitted or blanket-banned: the agreement voids accounts using prohibited methods 'including certain Expert Advisors (EAs)' without defining which, so the field is left unstated. Trading fees are $0.007 per share/CFD with a $1.50 minimum ticket on US stock CFDs, plus spreads and swaps.
