DNA Funded

DISQUALIFIED

Four of its five products run a floor that never moves and never tightens between the exam and the funded account — "For 1 phase, 2 phase and rapid challenge, your lifetime drawdown is static." — and the contract prints the same percentage in both of its columns. The fifth is what the code is for: Instant Funding trails on the highest equity the account ever touched, and the firm's own worked example eliminates a $10,000 account at $10,750, "even though you are still above the initial $10,000". No document names a point where that climb stops. What costs the other four is not the floor but the profit cap: on each of the first three payouts, everything above 5% of the opening balance is deleted rather than banked when the account is reset.

Drawdown rules →Payout rules →

The 24-hour Challenge is the plan its own documents cannot agree about. The front page sells it on three things and one of them is the trailing drawdown — "Only three things matter - your profit target, profit allocation and trailing drawdown." — the FAQ describes that trail in detail, and the contract marks the 24-hour n/a in its trailing row and gives it a fixed dollar floor instead. The same page offers entry "Start from as low as $10" while the contract's only row for that product lists five stakes starting at $25. Two more gaps worth the reading time: the clause that voids a payout for trading the news is unfinished in the binding document, which reads "permitted within X minutes before or after any HIGH" and leaves the number to the FAQ; and every limit in the contract exists in two versions split by the date the account was bought, while every commercial page shows only the newer one. On disclosure the firm is better than most of this list — a real parameter table, versioned and dated, in the document it asks you to agree to. On accountability it is not: Saint Lucia, no regulator or licence named anywhere in five documents, disputes to LCIA arbitration seated in London, and a payout that is finally approved at "sole and absolute discretion in determining whether Payouts are approved". The profit cap: "Profits above this limit aren't withdrawable and will be removed when your account resets to the original balance."

Disqualified for

The floor never stops rising

Not "it trails" — every futures firm trails. This is a floor with no stopping point, so a profitable week permanently raises the bar you must clear, and the account is eventually closed on a trade that ended in profit for the week. Firms whose floor locks at your starting balance are graded on the scorecard instead: once frozen, it chases nothing.

What they published

The floor never stops rising

“Example: You start with $10,000 in your Account, and the drawdown limit is 2.5%, meaning you cannot let your equity drop below $9,750. If your highest equity reaches $11,000, the drawdown limit moves up to $10,750. If your balance then drops to $10,750, the account is Eliminated, even though you are still above the initial $10,000.”

Plan by plan

5 of this firm’s challenges were read plan by plan, with a citation behind every answer. See them side by side →

1 Phase5K–200KOnly with eyes open

10% to make against 6% to lose, and the 6% is a fixed share of the opening balance in the evaluation column and in the funded column alike. 4% daily, measured on equity. What earns the caution is the payout, not the floor.

Tightens after a payoutCuts the amount paidFirst cash 14d14 days from opening and 14 from each request. The cap is the firm's own worked figure on a $10,000 account — 5% of the opening balance, on the first three approved payouts only — and what is above it is removed when the account is reset. From the fourth request the cap goes and the firm stops saying what happens to the balance.
2 Phase5K–200KOnly with eyes open

The cheapest and, on the numbers, the most generous: 8% then 5% to make against 8% to lose, static at all three stages, 5% daily. The price is two independent runs and five trading days in each. Accounts bought before 3 February still carry a 10% funded floor, and no commercial page says so.

Tightens after a payoutCuts the amount paidFirst cash 14dSame payout path as the 1 Phase: 14 days, 80% split, and a 5% cap on each of the first three requests with the excess deleted at reset.
Rapid (10 Days)10K–100KOnly with eyes open

The same static floor, tightened at both ends: 5% to make against 5% total to lose, 3% a day, and a hard ten-day clock that the contract keeps running into the funded stage. The weekend is closed to it while 1 Phase and 2 Phase keep theirs, so ten days is not ten trading days.

Tightens after a payoutCuts the amount paidFirst cash 14dThree trading days to pass the exam, five before a payout, then 14 days per request and the same 5% cap on the first three.
Instant Funding5K–50KAvoid

The one plan the disqualifier is about. No exam, four to five times the price of the same size in 2 Phase, and a 4% floor that follows the highest equity the account ever reached and, in the contract's words, "never moves back down". No document names a point where it stops rising, and the firm's two worked examples both end with a profitable account eliminated. No daily limit is the one thing it gives back.

Tightens after a payoutCuts the amount paidFirst cash 14dFive trading days, then 14 per request, 80% split, and the same 5% cap on the first three payouts — which on a trailing floor is worse than on a static one, since nothing published says the floor comes back down with the reset.
24-hour Challenge$20K nominal · stake $25–$500Avoid

Not an evaluation: one 24-hour attempt whose payout is the stake multiplied by 2, 5 or 10 and has nothing to do with the profit made. Graded on the harsher of the firm's two answers about its floor — the FAQ and the front page describe a trailing drawdown, the contract marks its trailing row n/a and sets a fixed $100/$200/$300 instead. One asset may carry at most 75% of the target, and if what is left falls under the target there is no payout at all. Sixty seconds minimum per trade, no weekends, no EAs, one attempt.

Cuts the amount paidThe one genuinely fast payout in the shop: the 14-day cycle is switched off and the minimum drops to $10, payable in crypto only below $100.

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.

3/5

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.

3/5

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.

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.

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.

“For 24-hour accounts, no single underlying asset can contribute more than 75% of your total profit target. Any profit generated above this limit will be excluded from the profit target calculation. If your final eligible profit after this adjustment is below the target, you will not be eligible for a payout.”

Weighted by what it costs, not by existing: reading plan by plan, no consistency rule ever closed an account — they postponed the withdrawal.

“The DNA Funded Risk team will conduct review and assessment activities on all Payout requests and have sole and absolute discretion in determining whether Payouts are approved.”

“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.

“For the 24-hour challenge, the minimum payout is $10 when using Crypto. Please note that any payout under $100 will be processed via Crypto only; for payouts over $100, both Bank Transfer and Crypto options are available. Unlike other accounts, the 24-hour challenge payout is 100% of your initial access fee multiplied by your chosen multiplier (2x, 5x, or 10x), and there is no 14-day waiting period, you may request it immediately upon completion.”

How long your money is theirs.

Most one withdrawal can pay youNo such thing in this plan.—Quote▶
“Your payout is 100% of your initial access fee multiplied by the specific multiplier (2x, 5x, or 10x) selected at checkout. For example, a $100 fee with a 10x Multiplier results in a $1,000 payout.”

$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.

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.

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.
