Plutus Trade Base
DISQUALIFIEDFive products are sold and the binding document describes four. The 2 Step Challenge sits in the main navigation of every page with its own plan page and its own six-size price list, and the text of the Terms never mentions it; the FAQ answers that "PTB's Lightning, Freedom, and Adventure plans are all one-step", and the homepage sells the two-step product and then prints, further down the same page, "1-Step Challenge only. No two-step gauntlet on any plan."
Drawdown rules →Payout rules →
Seventeen saved pages, and the second finding is larger than the first: no page on this site says what any limit is measured against. The words equity, unrealised, floating, end-of-day and server time do not occur anywhere in the seventeen, outside two marketing lines about an "equity curve". So every measurement basis in its rules file is recorded as the firm's silence rather than guessed at — a floor that moves on an unpublished clock is a rule nobody can act on, and choosing the gentler reading for them is not ours to do.

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.
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.
We have not re-read this profile since. Trustpilot lifts these notices, so treat the warning above as what we saw on that date, not as the profile today.
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.
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.

“On the Lightning Funded Account, no more than 40% of the Customer's total profit may derive from a single trading day at the time a Payout is requested. This rule does not apply during the Lightning Challenge.”“Where the Company reasonably determines, acting in good faith on the Account's own logs and data, that a Payout results from such trading, it may decline or reduce that Payout, require further trading activity, or apply consistency-based conditions before the Payout is released. This applies on all plans, and automatic approval on Freedom Funded Accounts does not waive this right.”Weighted by what it costs, not by existing: reading plan by plan, no consistency rule ever closed an account — they postponed the withdrawal.

“Any Payout is a discretionary, performance-based reward paid from the Company's own resources and does not represent interest, dividends, or investment return.”“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.

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.

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.

Where the path endsat a larger simulation—
“All trading is conducted with virtual balances using market-replica data, for the purpose of evaluating skill and risk management.”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.
How hard the test is
we did not read enough to sayNot 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 surviveNo such thing in this plan.—
“Instant No Challenge Funded Account without an evaluation phase.”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 finishNo such thing in this plan.—
“Evaluation phase None Wait time before trading None”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 inNo such thing in this plan.—
“No. Instant has no challenge — you start on a funded account immediately after purchase.”Cuts both ways: it costs you time, and it also stops an account passing on one lucky afternoon you could never repeat.
A second attempt costsNo such thing in this plan.—
“Instant No Challenge Funded Account without an evaluation phase.”A free second attempt turns one bad week into a delay instead of another invoice.

“Instant No Challenge Funded Account without an evaluation phase.”Below 60% read we publish no number at all, because a grade computed from two facts out of six is not a lenient grade — it is a different measurement wearing the same label.

Named people can be looked up. A company on its own cannot always be.
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.
The market
Do your orders reach a market, or is all of it a simulation?
What the funded account issimulated, with no route to real capital0/4
“No live-market order is placed on the Customer's Account, and the Customer does not deposit trading capital or risk personal funds in the market.”The question that separates a firm that earns when you lose from one that earns when you last.
Conditions to reach a real marketNo such thing in this plan.—
“No live-market order is placed on the Customer's Account, and the Customer does not deposit trading capital or risk personal funds in the market.”Promising a route to a real market without publishing the conditions is promising nothing.
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.
We read the rules of every plan it sells and issued a verdict on each one.
