Drawdown accusation withdrawn — the trailing applies to two of its products, is "calculated based on balance", and "once the trailing drawdown reaches the initial account balance, it stops moving and remains fixed". Everything else it sells is a fixed percentage. But the payout axis collapses on one sentence in its own terms: "SWISS RLCRATES AG may, under certain circumstances, not pay the paid scholarship despite the trader's achievement, waiving any subsequent claim" Trustpilot separately withholds its rating for fabricated reviews.
Read that payout clause beside the fact that the firm never states a profit split anywhere: payouts are framed throughout as discretionary "scholarships" rather than as a contractual share. A Swiss AG with a real commercial-register number (CHE-162.567.204) is better disclosure than most offshore shells here, but a company register entry is not a financial licence, and no regulator is named. Its consistency rule, to its credit, only delays: "you will need to continue trading until your profits are more evenly distributed before submitting a new request."
Not enough published data to simulate this firm’s floor.
Crossed one of the seven hard bars. Open the row and it names which one, with the mechanism spelled out. This is not a low grade — no quantity of virtue elsewhere buys it off, which is why it carries no rank at all.

Trustpilot: fabricated-reviews warning
Trustpilot withholds the rating and serves a fabricated-reviews warning — a third party concluding the firm faked its own reviews. A low score is not this; every prop firm has angry traders. This is separate from having no legal entity: a firm can publish its registration number and still be caught doing it.
Scorecard
8Trails on daily closes only, then freezes at your starting balance
A named company, but no financial regulator anywhere — or a light-touch one only
Payment depends on their discretion
Overstates size or speed, but costs you nothing
Reviews suppressed for manipulation, or the firm is gone
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.
The score is published anyway, because it is the honest picture: a firm can be strong on four axes and still be disqualified on one mechanism. A disqualifier is not a low grade — it is a rule we will not trade under at any price.
Plan by plan
6 of this firm’s challenges were read plan by plan, with a citation behind every answer. See them side by side →
Fixed percentage drawdown; the trailing rule explicitly does not apply to these.
6% trailing on balance, freezing at the initial balance. Breach is tested on equity: "If your equity falls below the trailing drawdown limit at any time, the account will be considered breached."
Same trailing-then-fixed mechanic as the 1-Phase, with a 40% single-day consistency ceiling that delays rather than fails.
Trustpilot
score withheld by Trustpilot — this is the figure it computes but will not show
Trustpilot removed reviews it found to be fake and withheld the rating. This is not a low score — it is a third party concluding the firm wrote its own praise.
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.
3/5
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.
2/5
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.
