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

The strongest regulatory story of any near-miss here: the same entity at every stage — The Concept AU/NZ Pty Ltd, a Corporate Authorised Representative under a real ASIC licence (AFSL 478987, held by Vested Equities), with no third-party handoff — plus a static drawdown that does not worsen when funded, and EAs and HFT allowed without restriction. It falls on a forfeiture clause: you must lodge an invoice within 30 days of reaching a scaling target or forfeit that profit share.

The reservations that keep it out of the top tier: it is an authorised representative, not the licence holder itself, and the funded account’s "live server" status rests on the firm’s own claim, with no independent broker-side confirmation. The split is a base 50% rising to 90% "for life" via its Lock Rule, and standard levels get one payout per month. The 30-day-invoice trap is a normal-course forfeiture, not an anti-abuse rule, which is why it counts against it.

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

TIER 2With reservations

No disqualifier applies, and there is a plan here worth trading — but something real is wrong, and we name it. Read the reservation before you pay.

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?

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.

1/5

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.

4/5

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.

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.
