Dominion Funding
Every account is simulated, and the binding terms say so while the site keeps a broker link and names no executing broker in any contract. The marketing promises no consistency rule; Appendix A imposes a 60% concentration review that can withhold a payout, and the advertised 48-hour payout is measured in business hours in the contract. The entity named in the terms, a FZCO under Dubai law, is not the company whose Saint Lucia registration number sits in the footer.
Six products, each with its own floor, leverage ladder and news rule. The 1-Step and 2-Step plans are fixed-percentage drawdowns; only Instant trails, and it trails at the daily close, capped at the starting balance. The firm calls its minimum profitable days its consistency mechanism and states there is no concentration cap, while the payout clause reviews any single trade above 60% of realised profit. The contract also states the firm does not act as a broker, dealer or intermediary regarding real markets, and the help centre concedes it is a simulated environment with no live market access.
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.
Scorecard
10Trails on daily closes only, then freezes at your starting balance
No entity named, or the licence belongs to someone else
Workable, but a cap or a waiting period bites
Two official channels disagree on a number that matters
Under a year, or too few reviews to mean anything
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.
Trustpilot
score withheld by Trustpilot — this is the figure it computes but will not show
The firm displayed Trustpilot content in a misleading way. Less serious than faking reviews, and a different finding — it is a marketing offence, not a manufactured reputation.
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?
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.

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.
