Everything below traces to a sentence this firm published, saved on the date shown.

The best rulebook in this house, sold by the worst pages in it. The floor is End-of-Day trailing on the closed balance and one sentence per plan says it works that way "during both the Evaluation and Funded stages" — the only sentences in this firm's archive that answer whether the floor changes once the money is real. It locks at the starting balance, and a withdrawal moves it to "your starting balance + $100", which is a tightening of exactly $100 and is published. What this row charges is the paperwork around that. The card that sells this market promises "No Consistency Rule" while the Standard rules impose "a 40% consistency rule applies on Funded Accounts only" and Reserve 50% on the challenge. And Reserve runs two rulebooks by purchase date: "Reserve Accounts purchased before July 27, 2026 will remain under their original payout rules for the life of the account", and those original rules are on no page we hold.

This row carried two accusations that belong to the CFD half of the house, and both are withdrawn. The first was a news-trading restriction said to apply only to accounts bought after 13 November 2025. That date is in exactly one saved page of this firm, the CFD Instant Standard rules — "We do not allow news trading on instant standard accounts purchased after 13th November 2025" — and both futures articles say the opposite in the same words: "News trading is allowed on both Challenge and Funded Accounts". The second was the Guardian Shield, which is in seven saved pages, every one of them on the CFD help centre and none on this one. What is left is real and smaller. The page selling futures promises "Funds in 24 hours, or we pay 100% of the profits" at the top and prices the same guarantee three sections below as "24-hours payout guarantee / $1,000 extra", which is what both rules articles say it is: 24 business hours, void for "Compliance checks or risk reviews" the firm calls itself. It advertises "Trade up to $750K" over a rules table whose largest account is $150,000. Reactivation after a breach is "Available only if the account is breached before the first payout", so taking money is what closes that door. And the lock examples contradict the sentence four lines above them — the floor locks at the starting balance, and then "$100,000 Account: Drawdown locks at $103,600". Four more articles this help centre links — Express Account Rules, Direct Account Rules, Legacy Account Models and its own Payout Policy — are not readable in the archive, so the products behind them are not graded here.

Not enough published data to simulate this firm’s floor.

TIER 3We would not take it

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.

Futures Standard25K–150KTake this one

The best floor in the firm and the only one whose page says so at both stages: End-of-Day trailing on the closed balance, locking at the starting balance. Breaching the daily limit is a soft breach here — everything closes and the account returns the next trading day — where the same event ends a CFD account. The $25,000 size has no daily limit at all, which on a $1,500 total is less generous than it sounds.

Tightens after a payoutDelays the payoutFirst cash 3dThree days after the first trade, at 90%. The cap is tiered: $1,500 on the first request at 25K and $2,000 thereafter, rising to $4,000 and $4,500 at 150K. A buffer must clear first — $1,600 at 25K, $5,100 at 150K — and after any withdrawal the floor is fixed at the starting balance plus $100.
Futures Reserve25K–150KTake this one

Same floor mechanics as Futures Standard, and no daily loss limit at all — sold back as a paid add-on for traders who want one. Its 50% consistency rule applies to the challenge rather than to the funded account, so once funded there is none. It is also the one plan with two live rulebooks by purchase date: accounts bought before 27 July 2026 keep their original payout rules, and those rules are not on the page.

Tightens after a payoutNo consistency ruleFirst cash 5dFive WINNING days, each above a dollar floor by size ($100 at 25K, $250 at 150K), before any payout — and the counter resets to zero after every approved one. Each request is capped at 50% of profit and at a flat ceiling: $1,000 at 25K rising to $3,000 at 150K. On accounts bought from 27 July 2026, payouts two to five also need a net profit since the last one.

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.

2/5

Can you even pass?

weakest measured: How hard the test is

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?

weakest measured: Withdrawing

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.

1/5

Is anyone behind it?

average of the axes measured: 3

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The rules in writing

Could you read the rule before paying, and can they change it afterwards?

Where the rule that binds you is publishedin a help-centre article the contract never mentions1.20/4Quote
The Maximum Trailing Drawdown on Standard Accounts varies depending on the account size and follows an End-of-Day (EOD) trailing model during both the Evaluation and Funded stages.

If the rule that binds you lives in a help article your contract never mentions, you did not sign it.

Normal for this whole industry

Almost no firm here has a financial regulator, because selling simulated evaluations is not a regulated activity anywhere. Of the 114 firms we scored by hand, 96 sat in the bottom two rungs of backing for this reason. So we do not count it against anyone — it only adds when a firm genuinely has one.

Promising a route to a real market without publishing the conditions is promising nothing.

Out of the total entirely, not merely unscored. A question with no referent here must not make the axis look thinner than it was read.

Almost none names a broker or a clearing house either, and that follows from the account being a simulation rather than being a second, separate failing. Charging for both would count one fact twice.
