BestProp4U
Named an entity after all. This register disqualified it for naming none, and its own page says it is an affiliate of Prop Account LLC — the company that actually sells the assessment. Weak disclosure, and not the charge: no country and no registration number is a real complaint about how hard this firm is to hold to account, but the code says nobody is named, and somebody is.
Not enough published data to simulate this firm’s floor.
Judged, clean of all seven hard bars, and the scorecard still came in under the bar. Nothing here is an accusation — it is a firm we would not open an account with, and the card says on which axes it fell short.

Each axis is scored 0–5 against a published scale. The line under each bar is the rung this firm landed on — not our summary of it, the scale entry itself.

What this firm published
Everything below is quoted from a page we opened, on the date shown. The quotes are in the firm’s own language, exactly as published — never edited, never shortened, never swapped for a translation. On the Spanish edition our own rendering appears underneath each one, unquoted and marked as ours: the quotation marks on this site mean the words are the firm’s, and nothing we wrote ever wears them. Where we have not read enough to put a number on an axis, we say so instead of guessing.
4/5
Can you even pass?
Almost nobody who pays for an evaluation ever reaches a funded account, so this is the part of the product most customers actually buy. Every firm advertises its profit target; none of them advertises that target next to how much you are allowed to lose while chasing it.
2/5
Can you keep the money?
The drawdown takes the account away; the payout rules take the money. Answered by whichever of the two we can measure and is worse — they are two ways of losing the same thing, so a good half cannot pay for a bad one.
3/5
Is anyone behind it?
A named company, a market, and rules you could read before paying. These three do not substitute for one another — a company you can sue does not stop existing because the account is a simulation — so this is the average of the ones we could measure, not the worst.
How hard the test is
Not the profit target on the sales page — that target measured against the room you are given to reach it.
How much you must win to survivefor every $1 you are allowed to lose, you must make $1.70.80/8
“Profit Target 10% - Profit Share - 80% Daily Draw Down 5% 5% Max Draw Down 6% 6%”A profit target only means something next to the room you are given to reach it. Ten per cent to make against ten to lose is a coin flip sold as an exam.
Days you have to finishThey state there is none.3/3
“Leverage 1:50 Time Limit No limit Consistency rule N/A Hold over weekend YES”A deadline turns a test of skill into a test of whether the market happened to move during your month.
Trading days you must put inThey state there is none.2/2
“No minimum number of days to pass the FX CFDs challenges! You can complete them in 1 day or take it slow... Totally up to you!”Cuts both ways: it costs you time, and it also stops an account passing on one lucky afternoon you could never repeat.

A free second attempt turns one bad week into a delay instead of another invoice.

“Maximum Drawdown is a fixed percentage of your starting account balance . If the account drops by this amount, you break the rules and lose the account. This limit does not move or trail , even if your account grows.”A limit that climbs takes back the cushion you already earned.

Where the limit stops risingNo such thing in this plan.—
“Maximum Drawdown is a fixed percentage of your starting account balance . If the account drops by this amount, you break the rules and lose the account. This limit does not move or trail , even if your account grows.”The difference between a danger with an end date and one that never ends.
Withdrawing
How much can leave the account, how soon, how often — and whether they can say no.
Withdrawals before the account endsThey publish no ceiling.3/3

The cap per withdrawal times how many they allow is the real size of the account. One plan here is sold on a $200,000 banner and closes after five withdrawals of $2,100.
What else a payout changesThey do not say.0/3
we read the page that should answer this and it does not
The floor is not the only thing a withdrawal moves, and the rest of it is never on the same page. Position size, the consistency rule and the share you are paid all reset or shift at some firms, and a trader who checked only the drawdown finds out afterwards.
What breaking the consistency rule costsThey state there is none.no change3/3
“Consistency rule N/A”Weighted by what it costs, not by existing: reading plan by plan, no consistency rule ever closed an account — they postponed the withdrawal.
Can it refuse without giving a reasonyes — it reserves that right in writing0/3
“Additionally, the Company reserves the right to disallow or block any Trader from participating in the program for any reason, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion.”“We may decline for any reason” is not a rule, it is the absence of one — it makes every other number on this axis conditional on goodwill.
Days before you can ask for moneyThey state there is none.2/2
“Traders can request a withdrawal of the gains in their funded account at any time in their trader dashboard, but no more frequently than once per thirty (30) days.”How long your money is theirs.

$2,000 is generous on a $25K account and a joke on a $200K one, so it is measured as a share and at the worst size sold.

How you may trade

“The maximum position that you may open is determined by your available margin .”No score here, on purpose. The six axes above ask whether the firm can take your money or refuse to pay it. These rules ask something else — whether you can trade your way — and the right weight depends on who is reading: a minimum holding time decides the account for a scalper and is invisible to anyone else, while the weekend rule is the reverse. A single number would be wrong for half of you, and would look decided. The firm’s own sentences are here; the judgement is yours.
How it grows

How large it can get$1,000,000—
“We proudly offer 6 Categories, 39 plans from $5,000 to $1,000,000.”Where the path endsat a larger simulation—
“The capital in your funded Account is notional and may not match the amount of capital on deposit with the Liquidity Provider.”One of these questions is scored and it is not here. “Does the cap rise with the account” sits on the cash axis, next to the cap itself, because it has a right answer: a bigger account that pays the same cheque has handed you a larger number and the same money. The three below are different. A two-million ceiling is the whole point of the product for one reader and irrelevant to someone who wants one clean payout, so the firm’s sentences are here and the weight is yours.
