The Forex Funder
The rules a trader can read before paying live only in its help centre: a 1-Step (10%) and a 2-Step (8% then 5%) evaluation, with a floor the firm describes two opposite ways — trailing the highest equity point in the article about drawdowns, fixed to the account initial value in the overview — and never says it freezes. Its marketing site has served Cloudflare Error 1000 for over a year, so no price, no product catalogue and no contract exist on any readable host.
The whole reading rests on 97 pages saved from support.theforexfunder.com on 13 September 2026; theforexfunder.com answers Cloudflare Error 1000 on every address, a misconfiguration reviewers have logged since July 2025. The firm documents two products, and the Rapid and Royal challenges third-party reviewers sell are never named by the firm itself, so they are left unread rather than filed. No legal entity, registration number, regulator or owner appears in any article, and the Terms of Use and Funded Trader Agreement the firm says it emails are published nowhere. Between its own pages it disagrees about the loss limit (trailing versus initial value), the daily reference point, the minimum trading days (one versus four), the speed of a payout (three versus four days) and whether the funded stage is live; the funded account is a demo account with virtual funds. Transaction fees are the trader responsibility and their amount is never published; the profit split is 95%.
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
6Trails your live equity and never stops
A named company, but no financial regulator anywhere — or a light-touch one only
Workable, but a cap or a waiting period bites
The risk rule changes after you have paid
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.
Plan by plan
2 of this firm’s challenges were read plan by plan, with a citation behind every answer. See them side by side →
One phase, 10% target against 4% daily and 8% total. The floor is described as trailing the highest equity point and no freeze is published, which is what keeps it out of a pass.
Two phases, 8% then 5% against 5% daily and 12% total on the same trailing reading, with the same missing freeze.

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.
1/5
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.
How hard the test is
Not the profit target on the sales page — that target measured against the room you are given to reach it.

“Traders seeking a swifter approach can opt for the 1 Phase Evaluation plan. They have no maximum number of days to hit a 10% profit target.”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.

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.

“We partner with AXE Securities, which has developed the EDGE by AXE trading platform.”Almost nobody names one, because almost no account reaches a market. It adds when present.
Conditions to reach a real marketNo such thing in this plan.—
“To best service our clients, trading in all stages of the cooperation between our platform and the client is via a demo account.”Promising a route to a real market without publishing the conditions is promising nothing.
