Trade The Pool
Read plan by plan, and the drawdown accusation stays withdrawn: this floor does not chase a peak. It sits still until the account is three daily losses up in equity, then jumps once — "the max drawdown for the account will move to the initial balance" — and stops there. What that leaves is the finding. From that moment the profit you may withdraw and the whole of your remaining buffer are the same dollars, and the firm says so with its own numbers: the maximum payout on its worked example is $21,000, "though withdrawing all of it will close the account". Cashing out in full and closing the account are one action here.
It sells buying power over US stocks, not forex or futures: four families (Day and Swing, MAX and FLEX) behind eighteen shop cards. Only the Swing loss limit can be quoted at all — 7% of buying power, written out in prose — because the day-trading percentages live in a comparison table our saved copy flattens, so they are filed as unread rather than charged to the firm as opacity. In its favour: 70/30 across the board, the first payout at 14 days on $300 of profit ($150 on the $5,000 day accounts), and no consistency rule whatsoever on a funded MAX Day account, since "This requirement doesn't apply to MAX accounts." Against it: the withdrawal fee exists with no figure attached — "Any transaction or withdrawal of profits may be subject to a processing fee." — and a large payout can arrive in slices, because "Each weekly installment under this section shall not exceed $10,000" above a threshold the company sets at its own discretion. Its documents also disagree with each other: "Copy trading is allowed at Trade The Pool" on the sales page, while the Terms of Use — which prevail — list "Trade coordination or copy trading with other traders or accounts" among the grounds for closing an account. No regulator is named because the firm says there is none: "The online prop trading arena is not yet regulated". It is Israeli, sues in Tel Aviv, lists Israel among the territories it does not serve, and announces a British company on its About page before stopping at "company number LEI No."
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.
What they published
“once the account has reached 3 x DLs in equity (i.e., “projected balance” including unrealized profits) the max drawdown for the account will move to the initial balance, going below which will result in the account being terminated.”“The maximum split payout is $21,000 ($14k already split profit + 70% of new profit), though withdrawing all of it will close the account.”“To continue to trade, the trader needs to ensure that after any withdrawal there is an amount greater than $100,000 remaining, which will provide the sole drawdown buffer.”Scorecard
9Trails on live equity, then freezes at your starting balance
A named company, but no financial regulator anywhere — or a light-touch one only
A per-request cap well below the account size
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.
Plan by plan
4 of this firm’s challenges were read plan by plan, with a citation behind every answer. See them side by side →
No clock on the evaluation and a 6% target, against a maximum loss the firm only prints in a table we cannot quote. Once funded the floor jumps to the opening balance at three daily losses of profit and freezes there, leaving no buffer between the money and termination. To be paid you need three days of at least 0.5% in any fourteen, and your best position may not carry more than half the profit.
The same 6% target and the same floor, bought with a 60 calendar-day clock, twenty positions and a 30% consistency ceiling — and sold back on the payout side: the ceiling is marked eval only and the three-profitable-days rule does not apply to MAX at all. It is the easiest of the four to get paid from and the one with a deadline.
The only family whose loss limit the firm writes out in prose: 7% of buying power, against the steepest target in the house at 15%, with no clock. Positions may be held overnight and over weekends at full exposure. The floor behaves as everywhere else here, and the FLEX payout gates apply.
Same 7% floor and same 15% target as the Swing FLEX, with a 100-day clock the firm counts in trading days on its sales page and in calendar days in its contract — roughly a third of the period, depending which document you believe. Its consistency ceiling is the only one that survives into the funded account in a form that still delays a payout: 30% during the exam, 70% after.

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.
1/5
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.
3/5
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.

“All trading activities conducted through the Company Hub are executed in a simulated environment.”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
Not 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 survivefor every $1 you are allowed to lose, you must make $2.10/8
“For Swing Trading accounts, you will scale once you reach a 15% validated profit target based on the initial balance of that specific account.”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 finish100 daysThey state there is none.3/3
“Evaluation period is 100 calendar days.”“Funded accounts do not require any purchase to open beyond the evaluation cost, nor do they need to be extended, renewed, or subscribed to. They remain active indefinitely until scaled, paid out, or terminated.”A deadline turns a test of skill into a test of whether the market happened to move during your month.

The loss limit that closes your account. Does it sit still, or does it climb behind you as you win?

“In order to ensure you build up an adequate buffer and stay trading for a longer period, once the account has reached 3 x DLs in equity (i.e., “projected balance” including unrealized profits) the max drawdown for the account will move to the initial balance, going below which will result in the account being terminated.”A limit that climbs takes back the cushion you already earned.
Where the limit stops risingat your starting balance3/3
“Note: As described elsewhere, whenever 3 × DL of new profit is earned (whether realized or unrealized) in any of these accounts, the max drawdown is reset to the amount of rolled-over profit (whether $0 or some other amount). This makes the minimum equity the same as the tier balance, in this example $200,000 for the initial funded account or $210,000 for the first scaled account, meaning that the User may lose all earned profit but no more (until the next splitting event results in a new account).”The difference between a danger with an end date and one that never ends.

“Is the account value by equity, which determines the maximum loss allowed in the account. Once the Account Stop out value is breached below, termination for the account will be announced, all unrealized positions, and orders will be closed by the authorized personnel.”Decides whether a trade that dips and recovers can close an account that ended the day green.
What taking a payout does to the limitnothing — the limit stays where it was2/2
“It is permitted to bypass this by withdrawing prior to reaching this threshold, but be aware that building a buffer is the preferred model and that the move is performed instantly based on intraday projected balance. Please note, however, that once the account scales, the Max Loss is automatically set to the initial balance regardless of the withdrawal status.”Taking your money out should not leave you closer to losing the account.
Total loss allowed7%we did not read this stage0.50/1
“For both FLEX and MAX Swing accounts, the Max Drawdown is 7% of the account's buying power.”How much room you have. Worth little, because almost every firm offers the same.

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 profit you must make starts over0.75/3
“Deductions against previously split profits are permanent; profitable trades which match or exceed these losses do not replenish the previously split profit but generate new profit. Accordingly, a realized loss within a given scaling tier which was not preceded by greater realized profits in that scaling tier will require additional profit to restore the same withdrawable amount.”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 payoutno change2.10/3
“Maximum position profit ratio: 30% eval, 70% funded.”Weighted by what it costs, not by existing: reading plan by plan, no consistency rule ever closed an account — they postponed the withdrawal.
Can it refuse without giving a reasonyes — it reserves that right in writing0/3
“There is no guarantee that a specific person can successfully complete the User Verification Process and thus become a Funded User even if the relevant User has provided all information requested by Us. The reasons for this may include, but are not limited to, legal restrictions or commercial considerations. We may refuse to continue the User Verification Process, in which case, this person cannot successfully pass the User Verification Process.”“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.

“You can request a withdrawal or payout from your funded account 14 days after the account’s inception date or after a previous withdrawal, provided you have a minimum of $300 in profits (For $5K accounts, the minimum profit withdrawal is $150).”How long your money is theirs.

“You may hold positions overnight and over weekends in all tiers.”LeverageNo such thing in this plan.no change—
“All trading is done through spot trading - meaning you are trading actual stock and ETF prices, not derivatives or leveraged instruments.”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.

“Trading, and participation in the program generally, is subject to the Program Terms . In the case of any inconsistency between the Program Terms and this Terms of Use document, the Terms of Use will prevail.”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
“We reserve the right to unilaterally change the fees and parameters of the Services at any time, including the parameters for their successful completion.”The clause that makes every dated verdict perishable, including ours. Near-universal, so not fatal.

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
“All trading activities conducted through the Company Hub are executed in a simulated environment.”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.—
“All trading activities conducted through the Company Hub are executed in a simulated environment.”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.
