A funded 1-Step Flash account may not keep more than 3% profit in a trading day: past that the account is paused and, in the firm’s own words, the excess "is considered invalid and will be voided" — its own example deletes $250 a trader had already closed, and the article says plainly it is not even a breach. Ask for a payout on the same product and the trailing floor locks at your starting balance at once, before the account has earned the 7% gain that would have locked it anyway; the minimum request is 2% of the starting balance, so the smallest legal payout triggers it. Instant Funding publishes the same lock. Both rules are funded-stage only, and neither is on the card you buy from. The company IS named — Top One Trader, LLC, registered office in Anjouan, Union of Comoros — but the funded account is handed to a third name, "Top One Funding", under a separate agreement the firm does not publish.
Both disqualifiers were carried without a quoted sentence under them; both now have one, and both are narrower than the row used to imply. The profit deletion is 1-Step Flash FUNDED only — the same article states "There is no daily profit limit during the challenge phase" — and the payout lock is proved for 1-Step FLASH and Instant Funding and for nothing else. Two-Step PRO, Instant Prime and the new $7 Nova have dedicated help-centre articles ("Lock Upon Payout - Instant Prime Funding", "NOVA Max Drawdown Rule") that are not in our archive, so those three are unread rather than accused — which is also why Instant Prime and Nova are absent from the plan list below: they are sold on the same page and we have no basis to grade their floors. What the plan-by-plan reading added is a coherence problem the row never named: the home, the checkout host and the Intercom help centre publish different rules for the same product on the same day — first payout at 14 days or 30, the Two-Step PRO maximum loss at 9% or 8% (10% for accounts bought before 5 Nov 2025), the challenge fee refunded in full or never, and the $100,000 2-Step Plus at $599 or $499. The contract itself carries no drawdown figure at all: it points at "our Frequently Asked Questions", which the same contract lets the firm rewrite at any time.
Trailing, then frozen
Chases your peak until it reaches your starting balance — then locks there permanently.

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.
Disqualified for
Deletes profit you earned
Money already earned is taken back under ordinary trading — the balance itself goes down. Where the line sits matters twice over: a disclosed, avoidable anti-abuse rule that bites tick scalpers and nobody else is a penalty on the scorecard, not this; and a payout that moves your drawdown without touching your balance is the bar above, which used to be filed here and was the wrong accusation.
Asking for money moves the floor
Your balance is untouched — what shrinks is the distance between it and the number that closes the account, and the trigger is you requesting a withdrawal. This is not the same as a floor that locks at your starting balance on its own, which several firms here do and which costs nothing: it is arriving at that floor before the account earned the buffer. One firm sets a $20 minimum request, so $20 can cost several thousand of headroom. Sibling of the first drawdown bar: that one fires at a stage boundary the firm controls, this one at a moment you choose.
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.
What they published
“Any profit above the 3% daily limit is considered invalid and will be voided”“$250 in profits above the limit will be voided”“This rule does not count as a soft breach or hard breach .”“There is no daily profit limit during the challenge phase”“In a 2-Step "Pro" Account , the drawdown is static with a Max Total Loss of 8% of your initial balance.”“Such Traders who pass a challenge offered by the Company and pass Company’s risk analysis, shall be given a live simulated trading account with a separate agreement with Top One Funding.”“When you request a payout on a 1-Step "Flash" account , your maximum trailing drawdown will lock in at the starting balance. From that point on, the drawdown does not trail further, regardless of how much your account grows.”“If you request a $9,500 withdrawal from the same account, you would be left with only $500 of drawdown room before breaching your account.”“After withdrawal, your maximum drawdown will be lock at your Initial balance and remain static regardless of future growth in your account.”Plan by plan

10% to make against a 7% floor that trails your closed balance and locks at your starting balance at +7%. Requesting a payout locks it early — the firm’s own example leaves $500 of room after a $9,500 withdrawal — and once funded, profit above 3% in a day is voided.
The honest floor of the catalogue: 8% static, "regardless of how much your account grows", 8% then 5% to make. The caution is the number itself — the shop card says 9%, the help centre says 8%, and 10% applied before 5 Nov 2025. What a payout does to it is not published on any page we hold.
Harder than the PRO on both sides — 10% then 5%, five minimum trading days, a third of the leverage — for the same kind of static floor. Its size, though, is the one figure in this firm we could not read: both pages print "8 10%" where one number belongs, a struck-through figure our saved text flattened.
No exam, and no profit target — you buy the funded account. A 6% trailing floor whose only published stopping point is the withdrawal itself: "After withdrawal, your maximum drawdown will be lock at your Initial balance". The section that says so opens by noting the firm withdraws its own share at the same time, so the balance falls by the whole profit while the floor is being nailed down.

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.
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.
2/5
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.

“Instant Funding

Indices & Metals : 10:1
Cryptos : 1:1”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.

“Every 3 months, upon reaching 25% in total gains (with at least 8% minimum in each of the 3 months), you can request scaling. Upon verification, Top One Trader will add 25% of your initial account balance.”Where the path endsat a larger simulation—
“No live trading is provided directly by the Company.”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.

The cap per withdrawal times how many they allow is the real size of the account. One plan here is sold on a $200,000 banner and closes after five withdrawals of $2,100.
What else a payout changesthe share you are paid rises3/3
“*Start with a 80% profit split, increasing by 10% per payout up to 100%”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.
What breaking the consistency rule costsit delays the payout2.10/3
“***To meet the ESS, the combined total of your most profitable trading day and your largest losing day must not exceed 20% of your total profits during the payout period.”Weighted by what it costs, not by existing: reading plan by plan, no consistency rule ever closed an account — they postponed the withdrawal.

“Prohibited practices include opening substantially larger position sizes compared to normal trades, especially around news events as well as any other trading behavior that Top One Trader deems in its full discretion to violate acceptable trading practices. Any type of over-leveraging or gambling behavior may result in deduction of profits or termination of a trader’s account.”“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.

$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.

The rules in writing
Could you read the rule before paying, and can they change it afterwards?
Where the rule that binds you is publishedin a help-centre article the contract never mentions1.20/4
“It is your responsibility to familiarize with all trader rules and policies as outlined in our Frequently Asked Questions for each challenge type.”If the rule that binds you lives in a help article your contract never mentions, you did not sign it.
Can it change the rules without noticeyes, and it says so0.60/3
“The Company reserves the right to suspend, replace, modify, amend, or terminate this Agreement at any time and within its sole and absolute discretion. In the event The Company replaces, modifies, or amends this Agreement, your continued use of the Services after a change in the Effective Date of said changes will constitute your agreement to any replacement, modification, or amendment to this Agreement.”The clause that makes every dated verdict perishable, including ours. Near-universal, so not fatal.

“Welcome to Top One Trader, a trade name of Top One Trader, LLC (the “Company”).”Signing with a company other than the brand’s owner separates who sold to you from who answers to you.

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 trading is provided directly by the Company.”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 trading is provided directly by the Company.”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.
